Remember when the electric Dodge Charger launched and everyone said, “Nice car, but absolutely not at that price”? Yeah. About that. Right now, you can buy a brand-new 2025 Dodge Charger EV for $28,935, which is less than half of its original MSRP. Sitting on a dealer lot, with less than 200 miles on the […]
Woof. They drive really well, but the market just isn’t ready for a $60K+ fast car.
Ioniq 5 is $65k for the fully specced version. How do I know? I own one. Nobody is buying base model anything.

Not really any good response for the last one, besides watch a video and decide for yourself. Articles might say something is good but then a video shows an entirely different story.
For buying the base spec cars, Troy Teslike reports on that (i know more about Tesla off the top of my head, been doing research, their new average sale price has been cratering), and Tesla’s most popular models are the cheap ones. That’s important to folks like me because it kills profitability and so is newsworthy.
No judgement, that’s just the cards as they lay. I like knowing things, I’m a bit “special” that way, particularly for statistics.

Most folks don’t buy self-driving anything. It’s about 12% for Tesla, and Tesla probably has the highest uptake rate: https://carbuzz.com/12-percent-tesla-owners-choose-full-self-driving/
