So I have always hated Tesla and don’t like that they’ve in a lot of way tarnished the name of electric cars. The second you say electric cars every person and their mom says OHH you’re getting a tesla! Quite annoying.
Anyways, I’d like to hear from some of you folks some models of electrics you like. I have always been a gearhead deep in the gas and oil, and I still enjoy my cars, but an electric would be fun and a cost savings for me, especially since I have a ton of roof space for solar panels if I wanted to.
It sounds superficial but a big reason I used to hate electric cars is they are for the most part, hideous. Then again, to me, most new cars are hidous, the designs are just not good. But I think i can look past that.
It would also be a huge bonus if there were any models out there with the least possible features. I prefer cars with manual locks/seats/doors and no screen, which is of course impossible with current cars (sadly). But the less digital garbage the better.
They all devalue badly.
Shop used right now to take advantage. Low mileage EV’s are crazy cheap. We saw ‘used’ vehicles with less than 30 (not thousand) miles for half off, straight from the dealer, full warranty. Much cheaper than a combustion counterpart.
At the price we paid, even if the car is worth $0 at the end of five years, we’ll have done alright.
Which I don’t understand really.
The only think about the VW I don’t like (I drive one for work), is that it uses your phones internet to connect, so if you want to use Wifi and connect to your car…you cant.
That may be an optional setting I haven’t found yet, but beyond that I like the car.
I’m waiting for it to get the id.Buzz. I want one of them badly. Can’t wait!
