Woof. They drive really well, but the market just isn’t ready for a $60K+ fast car.

    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/

    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.

    Yeah, it’s a matter of taste on this vehicle being nice. Honestly? I’d get a lightly used Ioniq 6 for the same price, I like the Charger body shape, but if it’s equally fast, I think the 6 will be more reliable.
