most expensive hoise in seattle on redfin is 25 mil
5 car garage, so fill that up with a rimac nevera, a singer 911, some sort of koenigsegg, some kind of bugatti, and a sensible daily like a turbo gt taycan wagon if they ever make one
a few watches from the insane seven-figure watch brands like richard mille, jacob & co, whoever the fuck else
not even halfway to 100mil and I'm already tired of this thought experiment. yacht and jet i guess
I had a 2017 BMW i3 for about five years. Absolutely loved it. No other EV like it out there, and there should be plenty of them out there in good condition for under 20k. As long as you're ok with the range (70-110 miles depending on model year) and slow DC charging (50kw) Same story with a used Nissan Leaf - evem cheaper and solid car, if range is good enough for you.
VW e-Golf or Ford Focus Electeic would be fun choices too, probably with similar limitations tho
Chevy Bolt is also a solid choice with a more modern range, tho DC charging still at 50kw so not the best for long roadtrips.
Otherwise anything by Kia or Hyundai (Nero, Kona, Ioniq)
Dunno about no smart features, that's a tall order regardless of powertrain, unfortunately. But otherwise, what's your budget and can you charge at home easily?
I enjoy either the free will or the illusion thereof not to torment myself with such unanswerable questions!
Firefox has been perfectly capable for the entire time it has existed. What are you talking about?
I'd've thought mustn't would be broadly cherished, not reviled!
Hyundai is killing there too, tho. The N cars look awesome
Taycan has excellent steering feedback, for what it's worth.
Yup!
Two track days in my Taycan - one at Portland International Raceway, and one at Pacific Raceways.
One rallycross event at Dirtfish in a Fiesta ST
Two day AWD rally racing instruction at Dirtfish (their owm WRX STI sedans)
Several track days in a Cayman at Pacific Raceways and one at The Ridge
And awhile back, track days and autocross in RX-8 and Genesis Coupe. Even a winter autocross in the RX-8 once, which was interesting and challenging.
I totally agree that driving cars for enjoyment which have engaging qualities like three pedals can be that much more enjoyable. And I agree that the Ioniq 5 N offers a really compelling feature for folks like us in their simulated gears - I REALLY wanna try that and I hope the concept spreads to other sporty EVs!
Edit: to answer the start of your post, I can hear which tires are losing grip, which can mean a whole bunch of things, like if the fronts are squealing in a corner I could lift off a tiny bit to shift weight forward and give them more grip, or remember to brake earlier before I hit that same turn on the next lap. Nothing I don't already intuit from steering wheel feedback and the "butt feel" of inertia, but it's another dimension of that awareness
Are you sure that's true for the Taycan?
Why would anyone think that thought is unique to humans? Seems absurd to a frightening degree.
