Ugh.. It’s almost like they’re trying to hide the shape and lines of the car. I think it’s a visual disaster. 

Next time Tom Cotton is blocking a bill that provides aid to Ukraine, votes to prevent a woman from having autonomous rights to her body, or takes some other action that’s reprehensible to the civilized world, I’m perfectly ok with people throwing him off the roof of the Capitol building.

I can’t think of anything less appealing than hailing a Tesla cyber-taxi to get me around town. He wants it to be cheap, so it’s going to attract a pretty sketchy clientele. Imagine the sticky vinyl seats, the graffiti tags on the backs of the seats, the trash on the floor, and the “oh my god that’s not what I think…

You know how everyone used to joke that if Apple made a car it would only work on 10% of the roads and all? Well, here’s the Cybertruck, which only does about 10% of normal vehicle stuff. 

I’m torn. This looks like a very well kept and driven car, and the price seems accessible for some classy, top-down driving enjoyment. But my neighbor has a  Mercedes SL of around this vintage and about half our conversations are about the latest issue with the hydraulic top mechanism or electrical component that he’s…

Morale must be soaring there at the Tesla facilities... /s

Agreed; IF you want/need an electric pickup this one at $100K with 400+ miles of range isn’t really that bad of a deal. I mean it’s clearly not for everyone, but you could spend that kind of money on a Lucid or high-end Tesla and get similar range. And $100K is already within spitting distance of most high-end/well…

If I want to travel around in a box there are many better and more comfortable options out there for $12K. And all are faster and more reliable, too. ND.

My favorite story about these guys: The FL attorney that pushed FL to repeal its helmet law died in a motorcycle crash. And it wasn’t even someone else’s fault; he lost control of the bike while slowing down.

Neat to see they were dreaming on/working on generally attainable and useful performance vehicles. Nowadays everything is done to such excess it’s just stupid. 

I’m old enough to remember when Hyundai hit these shores with the $4995 Excel and everyone laughed. Stunning how far they’ve come. 

Damn fine NP. This thing is class and style — for less than lightly used Corvette C7 money you can be driving around in a real work of art and stand out from the crowd in a good way. 

Man, between this and the layoffs/continuing stock sell off, Elon’s not going to be good dinner company tonight.

Easy NP for someone that needs/wants a 2nd or 3rd vehicle for weekend errands and taking the boat to the ramp a few times a year.

Say what you will about this odd little time capsule, but honestly it’s one of the more interesting cars I’ve seen on BaT in a long time. 

I’m nominating Volvo and Saab* — both makers always delivered vehicles that were just a bit ahead of the mainstream, and as far as a I know there’s never been a real stinker that let down the faithful. From the Sonnet to the 99 to the 9-5 and all the cool Volvos, each respectfully kicked in a door.

They’re everywhere here in SWFL, exclusively driven by the god’s waiting room crowd. Whenever they drive by me as I’m walking my dog I refuse to take note of them in any appreciative way — I want them to realize that there’s nothing at all special about them.

If you have $100K to spend and have to ask strangers what vehicle is right for you, then you have self-identity issues deeper than can be cured by a new set of wheels.

Great description regarding the 5-gallon bucket. I’ve never liked that element, either, even though it is so unique. 

There are two answers here:
