It's all stupidly tech-bloated garbage now, with no longer-term reliability. Just a big money-pit from start to finish.

[@Villani_AV]

The reliability factor is the craziest part. Even if the engines and transmissions are physically no less reliable, the electronic systems are awful. They're extremely expensive to repair/replace, and a lot of them can't run or pass yearly inspections without them. Even the systems that aren't related to the control of the drive train or emissions can brick a car or cause a failure of inspection. Yet these cars are extremely expensive, and even used they're absurd in price even with well over 100k miles. So you're buying a highly used car with systems that are failing

I wouldn't buy a car that sells my driving habits to my insurance company AFTER paying it off.

[@Villani_AV]

Yeah that's fucking nuts

[@bsgvlog5640]

I did , when I purchased my car there was a written disclosure if I wanted to allow them access to my telemetrics so that a third party could evaluate my driving habits and offer me insurance offers. I didn't care because I'm a safe driver. Didn't think anything of it for a few years until I switched insurance carrier. I got a decent sized discount based off of my driving habits and I now pay ridiculously low rates for my insurance with my limits at 500K. I actually went back and dug into my own data to see what the insurance companies looked at, kinda interesting.

Everyone wants to be Cadillac, but not everyone can be. "Somebody" has to cater to the other classes, because there just aren't enough rich folks to support every last carmaker.

If the manufacturers want to only sell a few cars per year at a higher price they can just store these and just title them when or if they sell. Mothball the factories and just start them up if they need too. After all, most plants have less and less employees all the time.

I think one other thing skewing the data is trucks. Trucks normally have higher days supply than cars, and the shift by Ford and Stellantis to going heavy on trucks/suvs and virtually dropping all cars has pushed their brand average up. I've been looking at some Lincolns, the company doesn't seem to have any awareness that they have an oversupply based on their weak ass incentives.

[@Omizuke]

Some manufacturers make cheap cars without bells and whistles. I see them on their sites or revews. Yet no dealers ever carry them. You gotta order them or something complicated like that. So you cant even sit on it before you decide to buy it. Im talking cars without power everything. Smart things, touch screen which I absolutely despise. Automatic functions. Like seriously. I want something like a very old car where most things are mechanicals and analog. But build now with new recently made part. Remeber years back, my family Pontiac broke something, electronic related. My car did some thinkering, bypass the computer entirely. The car went back to working with no issues for years. Now days, a completely unrelated to engine or transmission sensor start acting up and your car wont work. And try as you might you cant by pass one thing without another breaking, and a complete chain of. You NEED to replace that stupid sensor if you wanna use your car. I come from a family of mechanics, I myself am not, but I at least had no problems with working my car if needed. And with the latest cars. I dont even wanna touch them. And with all the electronic dependencies. There is no long term. And with how crap they are been build. Nearly all cars are disposable. As soon as warranties are done, itll become a mony pit costier than a new car.

[@flolou8496]

2000.00 a year in gas = 14,000 in gasoline/fuel cost in just 7 years. But over those 7 years, the fuel efficiency of your car is also going down much higher relative to the batter degradation in a EV, now electricity cost for an EV is not free, (unless you have or invest in solar power for your home) but as a rule of thumb the price for residential electricity is generally 75 to 80% less , than the cost of gasoline expenses. Another point to consider is that, you really get only the best efficiency and lower carbon depost build up in your ICE car's when you pay for the higher premium gasoline.

[@matthewgaines10]

And in 7 years, the battery in an EV is degrading. Most of what you said is false. Some engines don't reach full peak fuel efficiency until after 10,000, 20,000 or more miles. Most engines don't require high octane and won't return any benefit if you use it. Even some turbo charged, direct injection engines don't even have maps for higher octane levels. That is common with Kia and Hyundai cars. The age demographic most likely to adapt to EVs are least likely to be home owners. Unless you don't travel outside a 150 mile radius, a home charger isn't going to help you everyday. Interest rates and the high costs of buying a house is making renting rise. Good luck getting that home charger installed in an apartment.

[@dave3657]

I have a 25 year old Toyota with a V6. It’s run on 87 octane since new. Gas mileage is the same and consistent. I keep the maintenance up, and replace wear items as needed. Yes gas and maintenance costs money, but let’s see how many 25 year old EV’s there will be. And even Solar isn’t ‘free’ because nobody is giving Solar panels away. Insurance is more for an EV because if damaged, an EV battery cannot be fixed. Then there’s the problem of recycling the lithium batteries, which isn’t being done now because of the high cost and environmental impact. EV’s don’t become ‘carbon neutral’ till around 70K miles. By the time you recycle the battery, an EV is worse than an ICE vehicle.

[@aoeuuaoaou]

@matthewgaines10 Battery degradation does NOT increase fuel consumption, doesn’t even affect performance in street use. If you track your car you'll see the normal HP with SOC droop a bit sooner, but it’s a fraction of a fraction of people that track their cars.

[@aoeuuaoaou]

@dave3657 The two decade+ EVs will only be different in that they’ll have a lot more miles on them. 🤣

[@Villani_AV]

Fuel consumption doesn't change much if you follow maintenance schedules 👍 also battery degradation is a real factor in state of charge/discharge. Batteries absolutely do need to be replaced/refurbished after a certain amount of use, charge and heat cycles. This is true for engine components and electric motors as well, but they tend to last longer, and are typically made from much cheaper to produce materials

Jag absolutely needs to unwind the morph into 'we look like everyone else'. The sedans just looked exactly like the other brands' sedans - the XJ hasn't looked like a Jag in the least since, what, 2009? The last XK was still gorgeous thanks to Ian Callum, and a GT car available with a hatch or a droptop still felt appropriately Jag. While the F-type is cool, IMHO it isn't big enough to be a proper 'Jaaaaaag' . And ok, if it's a given that they need an SUV, there's got to be somebody out there that can design one to look the part. Plus they already have at least the one electric platform to work atop. My brain has always stopped me from buying a Jaguar, but my heart still loves the pretty ones.
