I had absolutely no idea what my car was going for after a year of ownership, though looking right now, it looks like about half of it’s original sticker price after 2.5 years of ownership despite its gas-powered engine.

That only matters if you want to resell it quickly.

Are you asking why a perpetual energy machine doesn’t exist?

There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

I think we are missing the real answer with the sea of cars.

CPO Mazda 3 is the correct answer here. The very DEFINITION of “luxury-ish”. Even the turbo ones have decent fuel economy. The hatchbacks aren’t the EASIEST to park because those C-pillars are enormous, but that’s a small price to pay for such a complete package. Maintenance and repairs should be pretty reasonable…

I’m looking forward to Rivian’s smaller models, particularly the R3. If this thing nails it on range and cost I’m going to be mighty intrigued.

Pretty much only one car fits that description: the mid 60's Mercedes S class convertible:

I just have to be honest....

Chrysler PT Cruiser GT Convertible?

I was thinking a Volvo V70 Convertible or Saab 9-3 Vert would be a good solution, too. 

If you’re going that far, you might as well recommend the Beetle’s squashed cousin: a 996 cabriolet.

That honestly just makes me want it more. It’s like the Cybertruck for liberals 😂 

Just a reminder that the burn rate for ICE cars is 500x that of electric cars.

Yeah gloves are off. Everywhere.

The logic of “he said they don’t need subsidies to sell cars, so Tesla won’t get them” is the kind of hard line I wish more politicians would take.

I’m not sure what reason Newsom is using to exclude Tesla, but I’m fine with the criteria being fuck Elon Musk because he’s a Nazi douchebag.

I am originally from rural TN and had to go back there recently to visit my family- who are thankfully not trump supporters, hate his guts, yet live in the middle of it. I hated every second of it. Every time we went to the grocery store or out in public in general I knew that most of the people in those places had…

Boycott red states, all companies based there, and all products that come from there. Don’t move there, don’t travel there, don’t buy anything from there. Boycott them all.

Agreed....buckle up. Although I still have a sliver of hope in that there will be a select few in the Republican party who will push back, Matt G dropped quicky for AG...just a sliver of hope I say ;) Mid terms can’t come soon enough!
