Bring BYD here and watch the prices drop like a rock.

On the cost front, there’s NO reason why LED headlights need to be as expensive as they are. LEDs are cheap as hell, durable, and the lights should outlast the life of the car. 

This list is incomplete. You can help by adding all cars presently for sale.

Will gas eventually reach that point, probably, but also it will be DECADES before we get to that point, or where no one is using an ICE vehicle.

In Detroit “Stanley Cups” mean something different and DO get hauled around a lot and probably in nicer cars than the Yukon.  

Every car should be either a hybrid or plugin hybrid right now

The start stop on Tundras shakes the crap out of you. It's actually jarring how bad it is. I hate it. I drove my mom's Hyundai and it was fine. I didn't hate it. It really comes down to how well the manufacturer executes it.

As I already said, that one is just a rebadged Toyota BZ4X, so it’s not really a Subaru.

Agreed. 10-15 years ago this essay would have been spot on. But right now it just seems like Subaru has been resting on its laurels for the last dozen years. How in the heck does it not have even one single EV or hybrid car (save the badge engineered Toyota BZ4X) in the year 2024?

Maybe contrarian take: Subaru is in trouble. It only offers slightly differentiated crossovers (plus the Impreza and Legacy) that they’re working overtime to get every last MPG out of. They used to be in the best MPG fleet wide because they had no trucks and big SUVs but they are woefully behind on adopting even

Correction: Subaru knew it could pander to people’s sense of “I’m a rugged individual”, or their feelings of “I don’t really care what I drive, as long as it’s practical and AWD”, or their satisfaction that a PZEV badge on the back means it’s environmentally friendly even with thoroughly mediocre fuel economy.

Really wish Toyota would offer the Corolla hatchback with the hybrid drivetrain that they offer in the sedan-double points if the awd one from the prius was offered.

“UNBUCKLED SEAT BELTS FINE + POINTS.”

Glad to see my beloved hybrid Maverick on the list. I got a 2022 and adore it. It’s an all around perfect vehicle for me at my current age and stage in life (30 something suburbanite homeowner). I’d 100% consider another one in like 5-10 years

The Pilot surprises me. It’s what the Camry used to be known for - straggling 10 below the posted speed in the left lane with the driver nearly causing accidents by being totally aloof to their surroundings. Then again, if you can’t be bothered to pay any attention to what’s going on around you, I guess you won’t

A little surprised the Toybaru twins aren’t here. Seems like they would have similar satisfaction as the Miata.

What’s the other kind? H2 is horribly inefficient to produce and a pain to handle, and a fuel cell is best used as a range extender for a BEV.

None of these should not go unmentioned.

At least, with an EV, all the chargers latch.

The key term I picked up in the article is “non-Tesla charger”. I have found that non-tesla chargers are a gamble when it comes to speed and reliability. I.e., it’s a 250kw charger but for whatever reason only charges the car at 50kw.
