I love the Bolt, but the problem is it’s a $20k car priced at $40k. Even with the recent massive incentives it’s still too expensive to win the average non-greeny away from a similarly priced ICE car

Ferrari has made a successful business model out of this.

> It’d probably be about 1 hour of work and maybe $75-$100.

I bought a Schwinn World Sport new in 1989 with my own money.  It was fine for its day but I have no desire to ride it again.  I did not bring it with me when I moved across the country.

LOL at the people giving me grief for pointing out what a pain old bikes are. Don’t spend $150 on a 30yo bike people. For $30 it’s disposable and worth a shot. At $150 you’ll feel like you keep having to throw money at it. New parts won’t often fit, so you’ll be spending more time and money tracking down overpriced…

Ab C8 seems like the only correct answer.

“Do you actually think the leasing company is going to lose money on the deal?”

The X7 exists for a reason. I'd rather focus my ire on the X4 and X6 "coupes."

The base V60 starts at $40k and looks good in the base trim. I have one, the only thing it’s really missing is a manual transmission.

I’m much less worried about driverless cars who would generally be part of a maintained fleet than your average living paycheck-to-paycheck commuter.

Right totally unnecessary because we know all drivers check their tire pressure regularly. And even if you do, that doesn't mean the drivers surrounding you car.on the street do.

Yep, I ruined a tire because I didn’t notice a nail until I compromised the sidewall.

Hopefully I’m getting solar this month (contract signed). No powerwall because even though I’m in California I’m thankfully not in PG&E territory

Hopefully Ford will have a good low-end version for fleet and tradesmen use priced LOW.

Read The Martian and tell me ICE will be better for the apocalypse.  No spoilers, but solar panels + batteries can do quite well without civilization.

“If I close my eyes, and think about a Mercedes Benz, I’m thinking about a dramatic, two two coupe — maybe a ragtop.”

I had them all as well, just a smaller budget :)

This should not be pending, got I hate Jalopnik’s comment system.  Sweet ride.

Congrats from a plain old V60 owner (2020 T5+Polestar tune). I couldn’t find any dealer willing to budge on the sticker for a Polestar so my lease hackr nature couldn’t take the plunge.

Don't really get the Tesla fixation, but it's possible both companies are on the way up.  Tesla's financial position is getting better every year.
