My wife loves her Corolla. Would like to have a new one. It’s over 10 years old though low mileage and great condition. Happy wife, happy life.

Way too many people are spending this kind of money, and don’t realize that they don’t really have it. They won’t be able to send their kids to school, retire, or afford the inevitable emergencies that come up in life. All at the same time that republicans are advocating to continue to erode social security and…

Supply and demand. The dealers ask for that kind of money because people will pay it. What gets me is how willingly people add another 800 to 1000 dollar per month payment to their lives, in this time of ever increasing prices for everything. Guess they are making a lot more than me.

You: The 18 minutes it takes to charge from 10-80% is too much time! CAN’T DO IT. UNACCEPTABLE

If you live in an area with heavy traffic, like many parts of California, the Cobra is probably not going to be much fun:

At less than 3 miles a cheap e-bike would work pretty well.

This is basically it, right? Trains are good for 30 years, airplanes are good for 50+, there’s no reason why a car should be disposable after 8 if it’s well maintained. 

Kinda shocking how many original cast members are no longer with us. :(

I get the reasoning for having something like this. Absolutely 100% get it.

Yes, that’s the exact point I was making?

Touring driver here. I’ve had my car for 2.5 months, and have put 2k miles on it so far. I love it. I chose the Lucid after doing lots of research. The Model S felt like an expensive version of my Model 3, and I wasn’t interested in spending double the money for small bumps in interior space and range. The EQS was a…

If I ever have $115k to spend on a car, this is it.

Absolutely. As an EV driver, this headline does not pass the smell test. Can’t believe the editors didn’t catch this, though they probably got paid extra to let it slip through.

That’s another myth. ICE engines have a finite life too. Modern it EV batteries last longer than the life of the car. There’s first gen Tesla’s still on the road with hundreds of thousands of miles on them. They may not have the full range they had when brand new, but usually they won’t have lost at most about 20%…

Engines have a finite life, and the replacement cost is usually very high as well. I have a 2014 Ford Shelby GT500. Grenaded the engine after 110,000 miles - something gave in the main bearings and now there’s metal shards in the oil. Point is, Ford quoted me $40,000 for a new longblock. (It’s rather rare.) I can get…

This is an anti EV thing that AEG’s been pushing for years, even Jalopnik’s sister site has an article debunking this https://cleantechnica.com/2021/10/26/about-that-scary-evs-cost-more-to-fuel-study-not/.

Uh, what? This smells like bullshit to me.

My Chevy Bolt uses about 29Kwh to drive 100 miles.
I pay .25 per Kw to charge at home. That’s $7.25 for 100 miles.

My gas car gets about 22 mpg combined, for 100 miles that’s 4.5 gallons @ $4/gal = $18 in regular gas for 100 miles.

People arent leasing right now because the manufacturers have completely stopped subventing lease rates and residuals.
