I'd be thrilled to see a Macan EV being a $50 - $60k car if it is only 1 - 3 years old.

Those hilarious taycan bricks so often that dudes can’t even get in their own cars. It doesn’t recognize the fob being present so you can’t even drive it. What a wonderful experience VAG

It's not like the US were really gungho about lock downs or anything either, I would say it's just the US manufacturing just isn't as good. If you've seen Chattanooga VWs you'd think they were made in a fourth world country with rocks as tools.
The early 50e had software issues which would brick the car but those have been solved it seems. I'm not a fan of the staggered setup, but it seems more than half of them are staggered. Air is surprisingly affordable and replacement struts are the same price as regular stuff.

From anecdotal experience, the covid and pre-covid BMW SUVs have the same build quality. The covid-era X5 had missing features though - no soft-close, no powered tail gate, orange-only climate display etc.

You’re starting to see this in Canada with Teslas.
I think is just supply and demand.
Way more EVs than buyers in US.

WOW 374 mi / 602 km US rated range.
Why is the price barely different though, $47,250 for the 250+ or $49,800 for the 350.
22 min (10-80% SOC) on a 92kwh battery (85kwh) also insane.
That's 190+ kW average, double what Tesla is doing.

I'm still not sure who the buyer for cla is, it's so small and cramped, the proportion looks so weird like a short turtle with a tall shell. Cla shooting brake is better but we don't get that here.

For me, CLA EV hits every requirement while the Model 3 Highland doens't.
Electric version is way bigger than gas CLA (around 4 extra inches of shoulder room), slightly larger than Model 3.
Ride quality, refinement, and tech are also huge for me. The Highland still has a choppy ride, slow AF charging, and self-parking that only works if you pay for FSD (and even then barely works).
Not saying the Model 3 is a bad car - it just doesn't work for me.

Aren't they gonna come out with a EV or hybrid c class? I think that would be the minimum. The new e53 wagon looks so nice, much better than that pig m5 and it's not even 63 yet

He's right about the warranty, wrong about which part
The Audi E-Tron and MB EQA/B/V motors all fail within the warranty period.
Terrible design from ZF!

I have two out of warranty German cars right now. Not bad as they are old and full ice. One is at the shop now.  | |

Also I still feel like if you are buying anything electric unless it's Tesla, you are still kinda buying 1st or second Gen tech with a good chance that it might be an orphan. Ford ev, Nissan leaf, vin fast, lucid, rivian. All the Germans still have huge software, reliability issues, look at Taycan, eq build issues, id, Toyota is half ass about it with their bz4x and same thing outdated tech. Even BMW orphans their cars after 1 Gen, i3, i8.

my wifes EQE had a intermittent cooling system malfunction error, took it into service and they just refilled coolant, now the message is on non stop 
SA says if the message comes back on, we should head back immediately... call back within an hour and they book me in for Dec 4

I think hoovies had a similar problem with his eqs it was sitting at the dealer for a while waiting for parts. That's why he sold it.

EQ is actually getting a second gen. They’re just going to stop naming them EQ for the EQE/EQS third gen
