My whole point is people looking at Mercedes and BMW are also looking at Tesla. It's in the same class. It might not have the fit and finish as the others but it is the cutting edge of tech.

Not sure why a NHL team owner was living in Nanaimo of all places, and raising his kid and having them go to school there as well....

Saw one in the wild today

At first glance I was like hmm.. actually looks better in person

The thing that totally caught my eye instantly though are there are lines EVERYWHERE

I don’t really know how to explain it but obviously when every body panel is a square flat face, it’s going to look like this, but I was like man this thing looks bizarre, and the idea that there is nothing else remotely close on the road rings true. All the flat edges and panel gaps stand out so much when there’s no roundness lol

Ya know there’s a difference between drawing attention when it’s beautiful and drawing attention when it’s so fucking alien and weird looking that people can’t help but stare.

This is the equivalent of a rolling sideshow. Like the bearded woman or the 20foot tall midget

I know and I like all of those things.

In the 500 feet I was behind it this thing turned more heads than a neon Aventador spyder driven by a chick with her tits out

Until every 1/10 Tesla on the road is one anyways.

JDMDreams 12-29-2023 05:17 PM

Are those the production wheels? Doesn't seem to match the rest of the car

Yes, but did you see more smiles or scowls?

It's missing the hubcaps.

More like confusion

Yeah that's the thing. When a Cybertruck passes by me, my brain gets blown out like "what the hell is that?!" and I'm on alert, similarly to how I'd react if a piece of metallic debris went flying down the highway next to me. I just don't have the neural pathways built up to process a giant steel monolith whipping by.

It commands attention, that's for sure. Does it matter if it's positive or negative attention? Maybe not, for the people buying these things! Plenty of people out there getting bright purple chameleon wraps; I would think there's a lot of overlap there.

Edit: lol! someone's avatar on the Rivian forums:

Agreed, this does look better.

Average Cybertruck buyer

I keep telling myself that's how I will justify driving my teenager looking hot hatch as my daily... :pokerface:

Badhobz 12-31-2023 07:08 PM

Man they’ll just think your some kind of a gen xer trying to relive his glory days.

Prove them right by stepping out of hot hatch with a boom box and cassette deck

That’s fly man. Word up

I’m assuming he’s talking about Len Barrie.

He lived in Victoria because he’s a shiesty motherfucker who built bear mountain etc.

Not sure he ever lived in nanaimo by the looks of it though..lol

It obviously just depends on the model. Luxury SUVs and Luxury Sedans get wrecked because the people who want them want new ones. If you can't afford a new one then you're better off getting a new 2nd tier. If you want value then you get a used 2nd tier or below.

Resale on EV's is abysmal. 49% depreciation in 5 years on average.

https://www.iseecars.com/cars-that-h...ir-value-study

Maybe this source is garbage... I haven't seen them before.

This is what gets me. I looked at a model S the guy was going to get $38k for a trade in on a 2018 I think it was. Thats over 60% depreciation in 5 years. That is a lot of gas. I was all about a cybertruck when it was first announced but once I realized I cant pull my boat the distance I need to with the electric trucks I will just stick with my F150 and keep driving it.

The depreciation of the EV I cant see how it breaks even with ICE maintenance costs. There must be studies at this point to show the differences. It seems new ICE cars these days need very little done to them in the first 100k and I dont see the cost savings of EV vs gas balancing out the depreciation.
