Forgive me, sire; I hadn't $80,000 to spend on a luxury truck.

You fuck.

If you knew that he was referring to the purchase of a $80k Suburban in 2030 would that change your assessment?

[–] BromSwolligans@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I think you know very well I would never engage with this possibility as a means of self preservation. Good day sir!

So a $77-82k Suburban is good in your eyes then? How come? Why? Oh wait, you didn't read the quote.

[–] Phrodo_00@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Just because he compared it to a suburban doesn't mean that the Mitsubishi mirage and used Corollas aren't a thing.

And sure the Chevy Bolt is 26k, but that's still 5k more expensive than a new Corolla and has like half the range, and you can fuel the Corolla way faster.

A luxury truck with the ugliest headlights on a car today.

I love the front end of the Rivian.

And the fucking dangerous high front which is completely unnecessary on an electric car, why is it there. Not even the TESLA FUCKING CYBERTRUCK pulls that shit, say what you will about Tesla, but they understand how the differences between gas and electric cars can be taken advantage of.
