    What do you mean? I’m saying they should have added BSM indicators to the mirrors- on all of their vehicles

    Debating on adding ceramic or tinting the windshield a little.

    Savagegeese had a good review of the Ariya. Basically saying that it's priced higher than a comparable ICE vehicle with poorer performance/convenience. You'd be buying it just for the EV aspect. Same with the Mach-E.

    Yup. 6 figures for a vehicle is a hard "no" from me. I don't like what I paid for my Tundra and Tacoma, but I could have bought a cheaper trim on the Taco.

    Yeah. Seems like every time I move to a new employer or position or get a good raise, everything just gets more expensive and quality of life and spending power never seem to go up. Ten years ago if you told me what I'd be making what I am now and I'd be stoked because I could start building on my property. Nope. Everything just outpaces any raise or position change I've made. It's burned me out and now I just want to have enough to get by and hope what I have doesn't breakdown or fall apart.

    Not bitching mind you. I am blessed and grateful for it.

    That’s why (one of the reasons) we want out of this state. Take my money much further. I bust my ass and should be able to enjoy it more.
    Also, kids are expensive too :bananadead:

    like others have said...take away the "credits" and what do you have?

    I suspect ~20% less sales.

    damn shame. Gov pushing Consumer sentiment. and consumers dumb enough to take the bait.

    would any of the Big 3 EV's sell if no credit incentive?

    what is the demographic that buys an EV not made by a maker that specializes in EV's?

    The Big 3 are simply shitting out battery cars. Extreme disregard for quality & simple focus on Gov production mandates.



    I'll be prepping for an upcoming Board meeting, so my views will probably more spicy. I apologize in advance. sorta.

    TN, SC, OK, GA, OR.
    Our daughter graduates in 2025, and we can look for any state that has Kaiser in it. By 2025, I believe we have seven years where she can retire with full pension then we can move to any state. Right now, we are limited to just GA, and OR in 2025 as we are not interested in the other states KP is in.
    CO is becoming the next CA, over the damn weather, and the people. I will be fine with my minimal maintenance 1 acre property, RV garage (my derailing bay) and 5+ car garage because you can never have enough lol (currently have a 4 car).
