Was This Finally “Peak Insanity” in Used Vehicle Prices? And all other crystal ball questions

Or Tesla/X/Space X/Starlink or whatever

If Tesla wanted them or needed them they’d have already done so. :man_shrugging:

That being said, they’re actually fairly similar products in the field down to the flawed thermal situation and production hell that few will admit to.

Tesla did not need or want Twitter, but that didn’t stop Bizarro from moving on it

Twitter.gov was patently worse than the X of today, almost worse than Reddit really. At least on Reddit you could still find cool life hacks.

That being said, it’s good to see less mainstream (establishment if you will) perspectives being shared. Abstract thinking is important.

Twitter (was) and X (is) a morass of bots, hate speech, thinly-veiled marketing, phony discussion, self-aggrandizing and garbage that the world can live without.

There are lots of ways to share your perspective without having to dip your toe in that cesspool.

I just like the inconvenient community notes to poppycock narratives. :grin:

Or Bezos injects more cash. They are building his delivery vans after all, which I see everywhere now.

If worth it he could just buy the entire company quite easily. I bought some stock in it just for the hope of a $40/share or so buyout.

My moneys on this happening. Jeff loves that Rivian.

Their R2 series may end up saving them just like the 3/Y helped Tesla.

In SoCal, Rivians are just as common as Teslas were a few years ago, and I see more R1Ts than Lightnings… but Lightnings aren’t as distinguishable so that may not be accurate.

BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Lucid, and Rivian may face challenges due to the recent decrease in prices from Tesla.

You ever even driven one for more than a test drive?
It’s actually a quite nice vehicle at it’s price point.

As an iX owner I take offence to that :joy_cat:. After driving it for a week, it is actually quite nice and impressive SUV if you get it in black.

I’d rather buy the Tesla at that price, you can nearly get a plaid once you start optioning up a Lucid.

With Tesla newest price drop, Lucid will have to follow. Before long we should see an Air GT to starting at $89k

We all noticing that lease pricing is getting better since last year , we are still far away from pre COVID prices and most likely never going to be there again thanks to our president and they way car manufactares used COVID to blame for all shortages and sky rocket prices. What’s your opinion where will we see pricing in next couple of month to a year?

I don’t think people care about the speed. The Lucid gets more range and is luxurious, compared to the Tesla.
