Tesla Model 3?

I'll stick with my 15k Scion xB at 30mpg. If I were to paid 45k for a electric car That's 30k I could use for gas. That would get that would put me with 300k miles On the car.
I'll stick with that vs electric.

I can't afford either anyway. The most expensive vehicle I ever owned was my 2010 Rubicon when you add in the ~$7K of modifications done.
Currently deciding what the buy when I get the new job. Seeing some nice deals on leftover 2018 Challenger R/T Shaker. But a 2019 Challenger Blacktop with V6 is a little better on gas and the wallet.
Also looking at Mazda MX5 convertible. A nice compromise to feed that part of me that wants a motorcycle but can't ride anymore. Tail bone issues.
I realize many of my peers at my income level think $60K is the minimum they would spend on a car. But to me, that is 2 cars worth.

If you don't plan on having more than a passenger look at the c7 Corvettes. Low mileage c7s can be found from 38-45k. The driving experience is a lot better than the Challenger.

Challenger is more comfortable on long highway trips, even better when factory tires are swapped for Continental Control Contact A/S. Corvette is way to low for my wife. might have a hard time convincing her on the MX5.

It's definitely lower for sure. A/S make a world of difference for cars that have summer run flats.
 
I had a company car that was a Prius. Model year 2015. 45mpg with mixed highway and city driving.
At $28k with the features it had, I found it to be an exceptional value and car. If I was to get a new(er) car,
I'd buy the Prius Hybrid in a second, without hesitation.
 
Friend has a Tesla (I couldnt tell you the model, apologies)
Bought it used through a Tesla dealership and it comes with FREE Tesla charging for as long as he owns it.
So when you talk about electricity costs...he has none. He lives around GSO and several of the Sheetz stations have Tesla chargers at them.
He drove us from Wendover in Greensboro (not a full charge) to PNC Arena and then back to Burlington where we had to stop for 20 minutes and that got him well over 100 more miles of driving.

I liked the interior - real wood.
The huge tablet center console had all the information and options, easy to navigate.
I liked the car

My biggest thing with them is if you needed to reapir any part of the car you can't, it will have to go back to Tesla. They also do everything in there power to crush any one who tries to work on the property that they legally purchased. Documentary on a guy that is heading up the repair movement

I like this guy's attitude
 
Co-worker has P100D performance and the 0-100 is just absolutly stupid... ever got on a roller coaster that use magnetic to accelerate? It's that but with the same accleration but only you, strapped to a seat. I couldn't stop laughing because of how awesome it is.

That's actually well funded in most companies nowadays before you'd need to raise equity and at a higher valuation. Also, a company with negative ebitda can still fetch a 10-15x multiple depending on their TAM.

They just raised 2.2 Billion. Like I said if they do not get someone in there that knows how to build cars they are going to fail. Once some like VW group catches up to Tesla on the tech side which they will Tesla will go under IMHO.
 
Speaking of cars, raising money, and going under...havent seen a post in a while about the 3 wheeled 'car'/vehicle that one of our members invested in

I’d rather the race for EVs be won by an American company.
