That's nutz! More than a Tesla ... more than the car parked beside it.

It’s a great baby hauler. No complaints. 60+km ev range is great. I drive a lot and was paying $100 a week on gas so this definitely helps a lot. I’m still not used to all the tech these new cars come with and the car being silent on ev mode. Overall, would recommend.

I’m sure regular hybrid is fine but the wife wanted the pano roof and only the prime tech package came with that.

For my lifestyle, I would never go full electric

:hi:

What makes you say that?

I suggest https://cieloelectric.ca if you're doing this for the whole TH strata.

I guess if you want 1 car that could cover most of the 'trends' nowadays (EV, Overlanding, baby hauler) then the RAV4 Prime is a top candidate. But dropping 60k+ on a rav4 must be a hard pill to swallow...

Assuming you are keeping it for a while (like most people do for Toyota's) I don't think it would be hit as hard with depreciation.

The downside to all of this is that technology changes pretty quickly so you'd really have to commit to this to reap the benefits of ownership.

I hate waiting for things and my time is way too important to me (or I’m just way to impatient). Things happen in my business where I need to be at certain places at any given time so the thought of not having enough charged is not something I want to deal with and just thinking of having to find a place to charge and plan my time around that gives me anxiety. I’m also really spontaneous due to my schedule at work so I could literally drive to say Seattle at an instant with no planning.

Also, IMO Tesla’s are ugly as balls

but I mean, you're not going be driving 24/7 right? With a level 2 charging station at home, you will always have 80%+ range when you aren't sleeping. IMO, anything with over 200km of daily range is plenty.

And all the plastic you get with a 60k+ Toyota lol..

I agree with what you said, but my lifestyle and work/life balance is nothing like 99% of the other people out there. It just wouldn’t work with full EV. But for the regular commuter it’s probably more than enough

Are other brands using gold or platinum?

Is it possible to get an aftermarket used car warranty on a Model 3 after the basic 4 year warranty runs out?

The new 2022 Tucson looking pretty nice too! Love the front headlight set up

Kudos to Musk on SNL. Courage to share that he has Asberger's syndrome.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-57045770

Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has revealed he has Asperger's syndrome while appearing on the US comedy sketch series Saturday Night Live (SNL).

The 49-year-old told viewers he was "the first person with Asperger's" to host the long-running programme - to loud cheers from the audience.

People with Asperger's interpret the environment around them differently to other people.

It is thought to be the first time Mr Musk has spoken about his condition.

i thought it was pretty good and witty, he looked nervous, his mom even more so...

in reading reviews, i saw an article saying he 'erased' dan ackroyd b/c he stated he's on the spectrum too ... can't please everyone.

Ford revealing the F-150 lighting tomorrow. Lets see how they do the pre-orders. Biden visited Ford and they had one on display.

I hear Teslas are no longer eligible for federal incentives?

off topic, but I miss having gold badges and emblems. Makes any econobox look p r e m i u m

Looks great, has the room I'd want, and the mid level 313hp model would have the performance I'd want (maybe not the handling though).

Where did you hear this? I haven't heard of anything about that yet.

The Model 3 is still listed here: https://tc.canada.ca/en/road-transpo...r-izev-program

In the US, Tesla no longer eligible.
Tesla has sold over 200,000 eligible electric vehicles, and all of its federal tax credits have been phased out.

in Canada, Tesla Model 3 SR and SR+ still qualify for Canadian Federal incentives
