Ooops:​

The cheapest Tesla now costs less than $40,000​

Apr 19, 2023
Ooops, just checked latest Tesla Cut.

• Tesla's entry-level Model 3 sedan now costs $39,990 after the company's latest price cut.

How much does a Tesla cost? Price ranges of Model Y, X, S, and 3

Tesla prices vary, from the Model 3 at the low end to Plaid models at much higher cost. There are also battery and charging considerations.

Really? When Biden kills off the western entire fossil fuel industry, HOW are you gonna charge your your Tesla? With a fleeting and unreliable sources like wind and solar? China meanwhile, doesn't give a rats ass about the environment an builds record numbers of coal burning plants and ignores western environmentalist. And the contribute like 85% pollution. And dumping 90% of plastic into the ocean. Plastic straws up turtle's noses, China doesn't care. Stop enabling China with this faux environmental garbage.

Biden cashes his checks in Yuan.

 

[petro]

Not interested.
None of those vehicles have the towing capability, distance, power, or room for my tools.

If they work for you, great. But I will stick with my Hemi.

 

[petro]

What's to disagree, coward?

I buy what I want, you buy what you want.
That's how a free market works, pinhead.

 

[petro]

abu afak doesn't believe in the free market and only proves the point that they wish to force electric vehicles on the population while denying they are doing it.

 

[MarathonMike]

Cool. Get a "cheap" EV so you can drive 100 milles and charge, drive 100 miles and charge, drive a hundred miles and charge. Then spend $15 grand to replace the shitty battery, if it doesn't catch on fire.

 

[petro]

I see the link still talks about tax incentives.
Why the hell should EVs be subsidized if they are so great?

Make them stand on their own merits with consumers.

 

[DGS49]

The magic numbers are 250 mile range, $35 grand, 30 minutes to charge from 10-80% at a public charging station. Until those metrics are met, EV's will be a niche market.

Thus far, the stories of 5 year battery life and $15k replacement costs are anecdotal and generally false.

""8. 2023 Kia Niro EV Wind—$40,875​

KIA

• Car and Driver rating: 8/10
• EPA-rated driving range: 253 miles

Those determined to own the cheapest Kia electric vehicle will want to take a look at the Niro EV, which stickers for $40,875 in entry-level Wind guise. The Niro EV has a front-mounted 201-hp electric motor and a 64.8-kWh pack that affords it an EPA-estimated range of up to 253 miles.
Besides its ability to accelerate to 60 mph in just 6.7 seconds, the Niro EV Wind also comes standard with niceties such as a 10.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, in-dash navigation, and a proximity key.

So, basically, paying $30,000-$40,000 for a little tin can shit box death trap to squeeze into when for 1/10th that price, you can get yourself a gracious, comfortable, feature packed midsize luxury internal combustion in great shape with power out the ass which is very cheap to maintain and operate.

I'll pass on an EV.

When everyone is driving EVs and it is working out just great with most people thrilled with buying them delighted with the new "electric" car craze, I'll consider buying a USED one (with new battery of course).

Hey, you can go to a restaurant and get a meal to kill that hour while you wait to charge up!!! You'll eventually get there someday!

No one is stopping you from buying one.

Why do you wish to force others to buy a product that may not fit their own preferences?

WTF.
You have been an Obnoxious Crackpot throughout the thread (5!), obsessively bashing EVs.
The post was as much informational as anything else, and certainly NOT "to FORCE Others." WTF!
Precisely the Alarmist we see here. Just like SkookerASSbil's two Identical threads near the top.

ie, Many people will probably buy/are probably buying them as second cars, mainly for daily usage. The ranges are plenty good to shop, dine, visit friends.. and do that for a few days without a charge. I put very little mileage on my car, maybe once a year (maybe not) more than 200 miles in a day.

And no one is making better/more economical use than me.
I drive a 2006 Toyota Highlander (6c, AWD) with only 76,000 miles, mostly as a City user and driving out to the beach for the weekend. Now live on the beach in S Fl and barely have to go anywhere but for a seasonal trip to to avoid hurricane season.. oft by plane back North. Probably a few Million of us seasonals in this state alone. Many ship their cars back and forth when they fly.
I could easily get an electric for my needs but love my old Highlander.
Perhaps the next car. We'll see.

PS: EV sales doubled in 2022.

No thanks.....No over-priced, overly heavy electric shit-box for me.

You are one to talk of being obnoxious as you swing your red thumbs at anyone who doesn't jump on your green bandwagon.
Ironic that you don't even own one.
Short of the subsidies I said nothing negative about EVs. Just that they didn't fit my preferences or lifestyle, but you felt the overwhelming need to swing your negs around as usual.

I suggest you buy one and give us a driver's report.

If you have a specific case you would like to discuss in this section ("green bandwagon")... I'm in.
But please search first as I'm sure it's already been elucidated by me and Not refuted by you... since you noted my position but, as I recall made your usual frivolous one-line replies as you have no knowledge of the AGW topic. (I tried to cover all the Pillar issues as thread starts. Many still on the first two pages)
take care. Or try me. bye
