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.

If you figure out how to generate more power from the motion of the wheels than the amount of power it takes to get those wheels to move, you will win a Nobel Prize and become fabulously wealthy.

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

1) If you put an alternator on a gasoline engine, you are stealing a small amount of power that the engine could have used to move the vehicle forward to power the 12V electrical devices.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

14,000 mile Polestar2 at $26K has entered the chat.

Look around as I was looking at 05ish xjr. Car was fine, dealers were scammers. Poor guy wasn’t told the rear barkes were 1/2 the traction control thus the poor lifespan of rear brakes the dealer just installed.

Car and Driver did a long-term test on a 2014 V-8 F type. In 40,00 miles they found a glitchy infotainment system (that was fixed with a recall), those motorized pop-up air vents had issues, and a rear taillight cluster failed.

Uh huh. I’ve got a 2016 XF with that same ‘shit’ V-6 that returns 30+ mpg on the highway, doesn’t use a drop of oil, pushes a 3,800 lb car through the quarter in the low 13's, and is just as refined as the V-8 in my R129 Mercedes.

Most of them are, at the cell level.

Without any kind of due process, I might add.

Found the second incel living in his mom’s basement.

Found the incel that wants Musk to take his virginity.

It’ll at least make a fun gotcha question for MAGA nuts.

Apply the law.  I am so fucking sick of billionaires and celebs and uber rich assholes pulling shit that the rest of us get the book thrown at us for.  He lied on his form?  Pull his citizenship.  He knew he was lying....then his political contributions are illegal.  Prosecute him.

Didn’t Saturn also start out as no-haggle pricing?

The only one I see regularly that actually makes sense is Lexus, and their entire point from day 1 was to make their dealership experience actually not suck and to avoid everything people generally dislike about dealers.

You can’t expect pissy little infants throwing tantrums to have any sort of logic.

I thought most of the articles I read about dealerships and electric vehicles was that they hated selling them, to the point they were sabotaging their own electric car sales. Now they’re mad that they’re being cut out of the process they cratered.
