Forgive me, sire; I hadn't $80,000 to spend on a luxury truck.
You fuck.
If you knew that he was referring to the purchase of a $80k Suburban in 2030 would that change your assessment?
I think you know very well I would never engage with this possibility as a means of self preservation. Good day sir!
So a $77-82k Suburban is good in your eyes then? How come? Why? Oh wait, you didn't read the quote.
Just because he compared it to a suburban doesn't mean that the Mitsubishi mirage and used Corollas aren't a thing.
And sure the Chevy Bolt is 26k, but that's still 5k more expensive than a new Corolla and has like half the range, and you can fuel the Corolla way faster.
Not with the $7500 federal tax credit, let alone (for CA) residents the tax rebate. It’s not for everyone yet but there’s plenty of people there Bolt is perfect for.
Source: bought one. Is great.
Same. Bolt owner checking in. It's fucking awesome and was - to me and my family- the obvious choice. It's not for everyone, but if you can afford it and your lifestyle allows for it, it's an easy decision.
Slowly but surely EV's will be the default choice. Prices will continue to fall, infrastructure will improve, and gas will get ridiculously expensive. The tide is changing.
A luxury truck with the ugliest headlights on a car today.
I love the front end of the Rivian.
Whenever I see these razor thin LED headlights on vehicles, my first thought is are those COB chips getting cooled properly?
It just comes across as very sus, a bit like form over function at the expense of headlight longevity
Those aren't headlights
I'm not even sure what my headlights look like. I never really see them.
And the fucking dangerous high front which is completely unnecessary on an electric car, why is it there. Not even the TESLA FUCKING CYBERTRUCK pulls that shit, say what you will about Tesla, but they understand how the differences between gas and electric cars can be taken advantage of.
