They are dandy, if somewhat expensive, commuter cars. I worry, with consumer debt back to 2008 levels, that a lot of guys are hocking their soul for a $60K Commuter Tesla when they should just be buying a clean, practical, reliable $25K Toyota Hybrid Corolla.

I worked for awhile in Silicon Valley and the PNW doing market analysis on tech sector companies— and there’s definitely different phases to adoption.

From a Market Emergence POV, the reason the big guys are holding back a bit is because they recognize that we’re at the Moment of Truth for The Early Adopters... there’s a good case to be made that EV’s sold to this point are primarily “Early Adoption” buys. Several things indicate this:

Also folks, just because you see a 2018 on the lot don’t automatically expect it to be a better deal than a 19, which is likely "leftover" at this point.  Some brands have dialed back factory rebate support for the 2018 cars and since the dealer cost is the same, the stores may not be able to offer a better deal…

Dealers are like, “OMG!!! We have 2018s in stock!” Meanwhile, Nissan and Dodge are still peddling 2008 models.

We’ll I’ll just take my $60K+ elsewhere! Just kidding, I’m poor.

I do hope you realize this car is news worthy and thus on a news site. 

Screenwriter: “ How many old tropes do we dare put into the sequel”

Yup, just look at that base-level POS:

Opinions can’t be facts

This guy built his own using parts from a GS flood car.

...nor do I like stacking my cargo vertically if I can do it longitudinally (this point is one that is most frequently overlooked in the crossover vs wagon discussion).

Big car goes fast. 

and what better way to do it than in your Trans Am Super Stock?

Will it depreciate by 50% in two or three years? 

How long did you have to wait for the tow?

Did you guys make it home ok?

Oh that’s easy. I’d take the Chevrolet. Because real people are amazed by them, and I’m a real person, so I’ll probably be amazed that it’ll surpass 100,000 miles.
