I like the MILF license plate

Tail happy
Questionable handling
Cones clearly representing pedestrians / innocent bystanders

I'm glad the Mustang formula has stayed the same regardless of body style and electrification

Hertz just placed an order for a 100K Tesla's. If Elons robo taxi service dream comes true guess who is going to rake in the money. They already have all the infrastructure.

does that mean that we'll get to buy used EV's for cheap when car rentals try to get rid of old fleet vehicles?

Not sure if this has been brought up, but is anyone noticing a large number of used one year old Model 3's that are at MSRP? I know used cars have a COVID tax, but I am seeing a ton of used Teslas in my neck of the woods. Owners must be buying them for the $8k rebate and selling/trading them in after a year.

On a side note, does anyone know of a good Toyota dealership for a Prius Prime allocation? The wait times are pretty nuts.

Tesla still has the limited range Model 3 which allows it to utilize the federal and provincial rebate.

Limited range? Are you talking about the standard range plus?

No sir

It's one drastic step below the standard range plus, only 151km range

It's Tesla's way to qualify for the rebates for the standard range plus model

Yay...essentially it's a SR+ with software to limit the range to 151km. Starting at $46389.

Yooooooo they finally revealed this, 7 seater too, bigger battery, larger motors front and back. If pricing is similar to what it is now with 0% financing and rebates I'm interested.

2023 Toyota bZ4X

https://www.motortrend.com/news/2023...t-look-review/





Don't understand why people are literally trying to reinvent the (steering) wheel. Regular street driving is not Formula 1 -- it's OK to turn the steering wheel more than 180°.

On the other hand, the steer-by-wire system looks very interesting. I know a lot of planes -- mostly Airbus, but also the newer Boeing -- runs everything by wire too. But planes have a ton of redundancy. So what kind of redundancy would this bZ4X have?

On the other hand

^Thats including destination fee of $1390(was not included before). Also you have the 19” sport wheels selected($2000 option). The standard range plus was designed/priced to be eligible for the incentive.. it still is and most likely always will be so MSRP for Tesla Model 3 SR+ is $54990 cad before incentive. Even if you add on sport wheels,fsd,ect it will still be eligible for the incentive.

The estimated wait time was 2-6 months around 2 months ago, so its anyone's guess. Not sure if its true but the Rav4 Prime wait list is supposedly 3 years.

^ Goddamn, that bad eh?

Its funny, because when I got my prime in April. Openroad Toyota Richmond had all 3 trims in stock, every color except for WHITE (lol asian thing?).

Destination Toyota had both the base trim and highest trim in stock in every color except for white again? They only had Dark gray, silver and that teal/blue color for the middle trim though.

But I was told that there werent any more shipments coming in (My wife really wanted a white one). So we settled for a dark gray one.

I guess I was super lucky then?

Almost losing just about >$100 on the Hyundai Ioniq was what prompted the vehicle change. The trade in $$ offered was literally an almost too good to be true moment....
