My parent’s owned a quad-fecta of objectively crappy cars (not all at the same time, but still...):

So, it’s going to be a short-range EV, because hydrogen is impractical (in the US anyways) for long distance travel.

That 40k is after Tesla’s estimated potential savings. Switch the slider to “Purchase Price” and it’s $46,990.

Correct. A smaller share of an expanding market can still be a growing number.

Milk crates for seats.

I think it’s wonderful you don’t care when other people question your sexuality.

If it runs under its own power for $2,900, it’s NP. Used car prices are ridiculous these days. Even if this vehicle needs several thousand in reconditioning work, it’s probably still a NP.

How about 60k on an SUV using wall trim components from Home Depot?

You do not have to have your vehicle serviced by an affiliated dealer in order to maintain warranty coverage. You just need documentation that the services were performed in a timely manner, i.e. oil changes, tire rotations, etc.

I have a feeling the answer is simpler than that. Most likely these are Tesla vehicles sold as used from the Chevy dealership, and the new owners just naturally bring it back to the dealer to see if they can repair it.

They’d probably have to sacrifice some of that rear luggage space for a PHEV powertrain. Though, I guess Chrysler figured it out. Of course, the PHEV Pacifica has like four inches of ground clearance. LOL.

I’m not sure, but I’m guessing that they’re one of the haters. Otherwise, why would they ask? There’s only four minivan choices on the market.

Unfortunately, that VW Buzz won’t be coming to North America for at least another year.

I’m guessing this move is intended to satisfy the ZEV sales requirements until Stellantis starts selling a longer-range ZEV vehicle in the United States. So maybe 1-2 model years for this before it’s pulled out of the US market again.

Your Uber has arrived.

Look like a Gen2 Volt, but more attractive. Big departure from the center info display, though. That driver’s setup looks similar to the one in the buzzy forks.

It’s a 26 year old car for $12,900, and it’s not anything particularly special. Sure, it’s mechanically sound and appears to have a straight body, but at the end of the day, it’s still a Camry, and there’s like a bazillion of those out there.

According to the article, Consumer Reports asks about 17 areas. I’m guessing engines and transmissions were very low in the problem area for EV owners, but the in-car electronics were less “reliable” by whatever metric CR determines that. Since EVs tend to have more advanced infotainment systems, this is probably…

Sounds like analysts are doing that Prius math that determined a Hummers are less expensive to manufacture than Priuses (Prii?).

I’ll give you the 22 inch wheels...big wheels suck on pretty much anything. But the 4 tons...nah. Knock a ton off that. Still heavy, but not Hummer-EV-heavy.
