EVs losing “half their value” is probably more to do with being overpriced in the first place and falling to match the market for like vehicles. Compared a 3 year old Model 3 with a 3 year old BMW 3 (thats a lot of 3s) and the prices are comparable (about 33k in my area of the Midwest. First adopter/first buyer…

The voted to remove a former drag performer; its actually pretty on brand.

1) I’ve found that using a rental covers this. People should not buy a vehicle for the 1% of the time every few years that they will need a specific capability (and that includes distance). People absolutely due because most car buyers are incredibly irrational when deciding on a large purchase (in fact, the higher…

NW Ohio = Fellow 419er?

Missed opportunity to talk about nocturnal vehicular exudations is missed.

Cheap interest rates. Need that downward pressure on pricing.

The Venn diagram of people who can afford fast wagons now that they have been priced into oblivion and people who want a fast wagon instead of a 4 car garage setup that already involves a Range Rover/Escalade, Tesla, and sports cars is probably pretty small.

I sometimes wonder which of our Millenial era things will be our descendants version of the Canterbury tales. Letterkenny and Scott Pilgrim come to mind for some reason (might be the Wed beers I am having).

You can’t take chances when you have a memorable name.

Anything involving a Morgan 3 that isn’t a gentle but spirited weekend drive on some bendy country roads is probably asking for it. Does anyone know the details of the stunt.

“Lawyer Ken “Popehat” White...”

Probably syphilitic. 

“just look at all the price hikes every OEM has done over the last 3 years to cover input cost increases”

Oil money and carbon offset credits...hit them both ways!

If you can’t sell your used, you can’t get new; if residual values drop, leases fall apart. Automakers make an extremely large amount of money on used vehicle parts, as do dealers with labor (which they will need as EVs require less parts per vehicle than ICE).

Every auto manufacturer is looking to make money across…

Occam’s Razor - GM intentionally made a rule and ignored established law on the hopes that they could somehow get away with it or they talked to at least a decent selection of their incredibly large legal staff who specialize in the auto industry and warranties and felt that their process was completely air tight?

Why wouldn’t OEMs transfer the warranty when the warranty is a key selling point and has been calibrated to most likely not cost them much over the period it is available?

No one says you can’t sell it...?

It punishes the flipper because they can’t flip a car that will lose its warranty as easily and dealers won’t take it because they can’t resell it without the warranty.
