However, the lease deal fully qualifies for $7500 so the dealer has flexibility on lease payments - this should be awesome!

People who buy an entry level Lexus expect to pay $40K or so, and this car would be for the “entry level” luxury buyer who just got their first job out of law school or recently minted CPA, etc.

Can you imagine if it was built in South Carolina and got the full $7500 credit? $28K for this is so much better than the Bolt 

If this EX30 AWD was available when I purchased my C40, I would’ve ordered this one instead because 0-60 in 3.5s is just too good to pass up! Even after my $7,500 tax credit, the C40 ($59K MSRP) costs more than the EX30 by about $9K and my range is still only 210 miles - I might just trade it in...

This call will be replayed in a movie at some point in the near future - classic

This also happens if you pack your Model Y with 5 morbidly obese people and their snacks.

So we only have 2 choices: drive a crappy car to avoid ED or embrace ED and enjoy conspicuous consumerism? It’s tough living in this woke world - time to tear down those juvenile posters of the Diablo and put up posters of the bright red Leaf you didn’t know you wanted. 

The demand for premium $120K cars was awesome when you only had to compete with the Model S Plaid. Now, you have legitimate competition from Mercedes, Audi, Porsche and BMW, offering a diversity of size, form and performance. It’s not so much that Lucid is a bad car but rather, Econ 101: when you had the pie all to…

A beautiful car with enough “quirks” that those with the means would rather just get a Mercedes EQS and avoid the annoyances because if they wanted quirky, they might as well get a Ferrari.

“All of this worries me, because I like Volvo, the Volvo that was happy to toil away out of the spotlight.” ROFL really? You are essentially saying, “Volvo I want you to faill financially AGAIN, because selling low volume cars worked so well the last time around.”

Availability of the car I want without the dealer markup - I live in SoCal so it’s a fight for the popular models. I’m totally in on EV but I’m not just going to buy anything that’s on the lot. Other than Tesla, it’s impossible to get the right color/specs at any dealer for MSRP. We need direct buying from…

Overworked, over stressed, mind filled with things you have to get done when you’re in a 60 hour work-week deadline crunch - I’m not ashamed to admit I have forgotten my kid in the car although briefly (less than 10 minutes but yes, that alone could’ve been fatal in the wrong weather) but when I realized what I did -…

I’m just waiting for the follow up article about a lazy military programmer who just fed everything into ChatGPT without telling anybody - you all know this is just a matter of time. Laziness is the source of all human conflict.

2017 Honda Accord manual was my daily driver for 5 years - super reliable, never had to change the clutch, put over 90,000 miles on it, then sold it during the pandemic used car gold rush and got $19K for it from Car Max. 

3rd Gear: JLR’s lack of reliability should be addressed with an all EV system, but then again, software is hard, so hopefully they just fully embrace Android Auto (or Apple Auto) to make things a little easier. On the top of my short list for fun EVs are the Ioniq 5N and Macan EV. My fun factor expectations for the…

Hard to see when you’re taking a selfie andtrying to capture all the flashing lights in the tiny camera.

Honestly, first time I’ve ever heard of this issue. If this is a common risk (which it appears to be), then fire departments are doing a terrible job of communicating this to the general public. Went to school when drivers education was still part of the curriculum and never heard about it. My son just took his…

Looking back at the Bangle butt 7-series and I’m still turned off - time does not fix all things. 

Tom, if I have a deposit on a Silverado EV, would you then help to switch over to the “right” dealership to negotiate the deal because when making a deposit, I’m required to specify the dealership at the very beginning.

I believe most consumers don’t care much about Elon and his craziness as long as the Tesla is priced affordably. Cases in point are my friends and family who have recently bought the Model Y and 3 after all the price cuts. I asked them for their decision making process, why these cars and not the competition? All…
