Shirasho ( @Shirasho@lemmings.world ) 26•4 months agoOne problem is I don’t trust the asshole drivers around me to not damage my expensive vehicle. The other problem is that I don’t have $800/m to throw away on a vehicle that loses that much in value every month.
I don’t need all of these fancy features. I need a basic bitch car that gets me from point a to point b and has enough trunk space for groceries.
Nomecks ( @Nomecks@lemmy.ca ) 2•4 months agoSo what you’re saying is you won’t buy any new car, EV or not. What is the point of your comment?
Semi-Hemi-Demigod ( @Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social ) 2•4 months agoI have two cars and both those payments combined are under $500. I’m not paying $800 a month for one damn car.
SaintWacko ( @SaintWacko@midwest.social ) English3•4 months agoRight?! I pay $380 a month for my car, a very comfortable and efficient Kia Forte. Sometimes I take a look at other cars that are around $30k, only $5k more than I paid for the Kia, and somehow the car payments are $600 a month! Not even sort of worth it
Flumpkin ( @Flumpkin@slrpnk.net ) 3•4 months agoWhat I’d really like is an electric car that is a bit larger than a podbike. Or classified as a L7e or motorcycle. Something ultra light (<100kg) and can drive up to 80km (50mph).
Or alternatively allow bicycles / velomobiles to have pedal assist driving up to 50kmh(30mph) and 500W motors.

Churbleyimyam ( @Churbleyimyam@lemm.ee ) 1•4 months agoThat’s because of inequality. It’s the same in most industries now - if you want to make money you have to be in the luxury market. Working people have been bled dry.
