The R1 models still use CCS, but the R2 and R3 will have NACS

Tons of used Model 3s out there around $20-25k. It’s a fun, zippy car, and buying used you’re not giving Elon any more money.

Agreed. New England is full of Tesla Model Y but definitely way way less Model 3s. Absolutely can be had for under $25k used, especially just normal AWD trim. I daily a 2018 Model 3 with 18" OEM wheels and snow tires and live an hour away from the question-asker and can vouch it is regionally appropriate. (Photo from…

Bundling them is quite odd. I guess that is why they are tracking registrations.

Agree with you on your post... except the naming. Manufactures are going to call things whatever they think will make them the most profit. Think how they stick “coupe” to anything these days they can get away with... then charge a bit more and voila... happy shareholders. Even if the names make no real sense, like…

Single turbo. 355 horsepower and 354 lb.-ft. of torque.

A huge Honda SUV would be pretty funny

How in the hell did Chevy SSR not make this list?

I work in the auto industry and I think what we are seeing right now is a few different things. I think production (IE. high end builds) were preferenced over cheaper ones due to the ‘20-’22 run and now they are starting to sit. That will slowly change. In the meantime, incentives are coming back to something near…

There’s a massive mismatch between the vehicles that customers want and those that are available.  Toyota and Jeep are the biggest examples on both ends.  Clearly, buyers want fuel economy and reliability right now.

I’m most curious about how this impacts Scout.  Rivian is a bit upscale, so possible VW gets a knock off-ish clone under the Scout badge that’s more middle class oriented.

The first RAV4 Primes are coming off lease now and can be had with low miles and low 30s.  Excellent value right now.

“Lamborghini got the engineering and finances it needed to create the Countach and Diablo”

Once past that question, ask yourself this—especially if you’re a Tesla owner or stockholder: given how much good $56 billion could do for Tesla

I appreciate this perspective, and normally I would be the first to grant benefit of the doubt, especially since this seems to be a wise, future-proofing engineering decision.

I’m not defending Musk or Tesla, but with battery capacity being a major selling point and cost element for any EV, it makes sense Tesla would want some flexibility here.

And it’s not even “Wagon-ish” as they suggested. It’s just a straight up wagon with a lift. Subaru never even changed the design to look more like an SUV when they dropped the “Legacy” from the Outback name. Just body cladding and a lift. 

Yeah, this is the way.

The Ford Maverick. Go from a chunky compact car:

While I agree the US should work harder towards a more balanced budget, the idea that the US budget is anything like your household budget, is just asinine.
