>>50162063
that's 100k and up. although it will retain its value, its expensive for a car that will likely breakdown every now and then. nothing is more embarrassing than breaking down in the middle of a busy street while with your gf. also such cars need special care and high maintenance

lexus is a very comfy brand to drive. my friend has one. but they arent unique where i live

>>50162081
dude teslas are so overrated and lame. i see them everywhere now. i dont wanna drive something everybody has. also have you seen how oversaturated tesla superchargers are now????

>>50162086
Hence why it's a make it car, honestly just keep on top of preventative maintenance and they're pretty reliable

>>50162121
maybe that's a lifestyle you'd like to pick up. i definitely see the appeal; but personally for me i dont think ill enjoy being a slave to my car - always being protective etc etc

>>50162146
That’s why if you get a car like that it’s expected that you own a daily, the rich typically are dailying Toyotas or teslas now

>Genesis
How well are these cars turning out? Seen a couple on the streets recently, look nice. However, they are a new brand so I'm not sure about owning it long-term. Want to place itself at the Lexus, Mercedes, and BMW range, and the interior definitely is luxurious.

>>50162183
they are the luxury brand of Hyundai. i did a google search on genesis and supposedly they're pretty reliable

Unironically for a Model S. I don't drive ever more than range in an EV. I don't haul things and if I ever do I know plenty of people who would be willing to help. I just want a super fun sedan sized car and having drove a Model S, it's dummy fun. Plus, I don't like paying for gas. Sue me.

>>50162226
>that put a chevy badge on their car
i already do this

>>50162245
All valid points, downside is that Tesla will rape your ass with all repair costs and you‘re forced to pay that. Also build quality isn’t there yet but maybe in a few years it gets better

>>50162245
That’s a 2014 model kek they have at least 25% less range now and the interior is falling apart

Mercedes Sprinter (high roof) for ultimate legroom. No sedan and no SUV can compete with Mercedes Sprinter (high roof) when it comes to leg room and head room.

I know a few Tesla owners that have had no issues with repairs because nothing has broken after the initial needing to send out someone to fix some weird thing after purchase. Luckily, that is all covered. The only thing they really spend on is brakes and tires.

>I know a few Tesla owners that have had no issues with repairs because nothing has broken after the initial needing to send out someone to fix some weird thing after purchase. Luckily, that is all covered. The only thing they really spend on is brakes and tires.
The battery change is the most expensive part of owning a Tesla.

>>50162105
>also have you seen how oversaturated tesla superchargers are now????
You should absolutely not get a Tesla or any other EV if you live in an apartment complex or don't have access to your own charger. Superchargers should only be used for road trips.
Side note, if you get a Tesla, get the white interior. It's unironically a pussy magnet.

good luck paying 20-40k for a new battery retard

>>50162548
assuming they don't blow up or have defects, they're meant to last about the lifetime of the car
the range just drops by like 1% a year
still wouldn't touch one with all the manufacturing problems and insane wait times for part replacements
the thing i'd worry about most is the motors, they don't run forever just because they're not igniting fuel
they probably end up delaminating from the constant heat cycling

>>50162455
Do you even know how much you would need to abuse that battery to ever come to a point where it would need to be swapped? Speaking like someone who has never used or owned an EV.

>>50162548
>>50162679
These people see a youtube video about replacing the battery and think it's something that actually happens to every car. Legit autism.

>>50162038
unironically probably what im driving now with a few touch ups toyota celica gen 6 with a proper 2 din nav gps (which i have), it effectively provides the most important part of what smart cars currently provide without the proprietary headaches. or perhaps a tesla would be nice

Imagine admitting to basing what you like/dislike based on what other people like/dislike.

EVs are shit because the batteries don’t last. 37 years is a massive fucking cope, and if they do somehow last that long they’d be so degrade you’d be lucky to get half the original mileage on a single charge. The mileage is already bad, good luck taking and out of state trips. When EV trucks start coming out good luck towing anything.

EVs have promise, but their biggest issues in competing with ICE vehicles is their mileage. They are not where they need to be in order to be a viable alternative for most people. And The kikes raising gas prices, putting sanctions on legacy automakers forcing them to replace their ICE car production with this shit in an attempt to force early adoption of this shit need to be gassed. The tech isn’t ready, I don’t want an EV.

hydrogen-ev hybrids will probably be where things end up
hydrogen cars are already just evs that mostly generate their power from hydrogen in real time
replace one of the tanks with some battery banks and you have the the relatively quick refuelling of hydrogen along with regeneration ability and harder acceleration capability of batteries

>>50163281
The issue is having a constant ready supply of hydrogen. That is why hydrogen cars really haven't caught on. Plus it's fucking expensive. Still has a lot of potential though for sure.

> Made-it cars thread

Pic rel is my car's model, very low consuming/high action radius for gas, everyone wants a ride in the open air.

Hardly any expenses if treated every year in the garage.

Old school love.

Been think of Lexus or a Toyota 4Runner. I want something that will last a long time. I don't want to fall into a boomer trap of upgrading cars every half-decade like how millennials upgrade their graphics card.

Been thinking of the Lexus RXh plug in hybrid to maximize fuel economy and be comfy also to do some light trail driving. It looks good, has decent luxury amenities and has space to have a family with.
The other option is the Toyota 4Runner. It's Toyota so it will last(but not as long as their older models). It's tough and can do some off-roading should I need to go off the grade. Has space for an expanding family.

Any other options should I consider besides these two? I was thinking of a Tacoma and F150, but I don't like the idea that some could knick items off the bed. Also with the F150, it rubs me how the shifter folds in. That's a point of failure I don't want to get and I know F150 aren't built like they're used and Ford caters to the Boomers need to upgrade every decade or so. With trucks I'd be aware of the fuel economy and I wouldn't want to worry. Ideally, I'd have two. A nice car and innawood car. But when it comes down to it, one car is really needed.

I don’t care how boomer’d it is, I want a 2010+ Camaro. They’re around $15k-25k and are reasonable repairs-wise. That’d be my A-B car, wouldn’t really have to care about gas consumption obviously.

i love quirky efficient cars

I love it. around 50 electric miles with fun torque, and around 45mpg for road trips. Can fit a full-size memory foam mattress in the back for camping, I've even fit an 8ft 4x4 in it. It's fun to drive and my premium trim has a lot of nicities.
It's the perfect 2 person car for me
I guess a Rivian or Electric F150 is the choice when I have more money/kids

So I've been both wait listed because I wasn't certain on being able to purchase at the time I've been on the list for 9 months now. One came up and tried to grab my local dealer had that markup I was talking about. MSRP was ~35,000, dealer made it 50,000 so a mark up of like 35%. Tried another dealer that had a mark up of 25,000 and all of this in the DFW, Texas area.

I read recently there was an F-150 Lightning (EV F-150) being marked up an additional 100,000, or making the truck double what the MSRP for a fully loaded one of those things.

I gave my brother $50,000 and he and his stupid whore girlfriend blew through it in less than 2 months. He isn't a junky or anything like that either. He just has nigger sensibilities and the truth is, it's hard to even be mad at him because like 90% of the population are the same way. The moment people see you with nice things, they start calculating.
