The alternator went out on my 2016 F-150 a little while ago. It did not make me whine about Fords. I got it fixed and went on with my life. My brother has a 2018 Tesla Model 3 that runs well with nary a problem, other than reduced regen on very cold winter drives. He bobsledded into Duluth one day and got a ticket for 70 in a 55. HA! If I buy an EV it will be a Tesla or something else with access to the Tesla DC charging network.

Tesla cars can be left unattended with a dog in them. They can be set to run the air conditioner to keep the car's internal temperature in a safe zone and the LCD screen in the car states that the air temperature in the car is degrees and the dog is listening to . Anyone who comes across a dog in a Tesla displaying this image on the LCD would be hard pressed to explain why they broke open the car to rescue the dog. Any other car that does that gets my vote over Tesla.

seriously? is that thing made of pot metal?

3 years ago | Likes 16 Dislikes 2

If I were to make a guess, I'd say cast aluminum. They pour molten aluminum in a mold and it takes shape however you like. It's light, cheap, and fairly strong. Unfortunately, if you don't cast aluminum right, it forms voids in the cast called 'junk' and losses a lot of strength. Many of problems with modern day car engines (Kia and Hyundai specifically) can be traced to poorly made cast aluminum engines. It's also why modern day engines are nearly impossible to repair because you can't weld it.

Similar to why I say it’s still okay to be impressed by SpaceX landing rockets. I suspect most of the engineers and rocket scientists that did the real “magic” are not wankers.

That's because of 73 years of automotive safety. The first gen Microbus/Combi/Transporter (also called the Type 2) was still in production in Brazil as late as 2013.

I wouldn't trust Ford to make anything. Maybe their trucks, but I'm not a truck guy. The Mustangs I've driven all go loud and sorta fast if going straight in dry flat road. Maybe I just need to try the Shelby's, but for that price there's much better choices

Drive the Ioniq 5, too! Super fun and minimalist interior that I loved

They've solved it since, but 90s Subarus had bodies that just dissolved. Engine and drivetrain were rugged though.

Although, at one point (can't remember which years) Subaru did have cylinder head gaskets issue for their engines.

If you have time, check out the Toyota bzx4. Terrible name but same car as the Solterra with slightly different trim, software, price, and color options. Not sure on my preference yet but maybe in 2 years I'll be ready to make a decision.

I just want a newer car with the one of the neutral colored exterior paints.

Priced like a Porsche, built like a 90s Kia

Porsches aren't exactly the pinnacle of reliability either though

That's why they said *PRICED* like a Porsche.

A 90s Kia has a more well built gas pedal…

It really seemed like they were much better built in the past.

Well, a base Taycan is the same price as a Full Model S Plaid. So, the Tesla is quite a bit cheaper.

And a base Taycan feels likes its actually built well and not held together by paper clips and Musk-hype. I’d take a base Taycan over a Tesla for the interior alone.

Huh. In my country, Teslas are by far the best value EV when considering space and horsepower. You're almost forced to buy one if you value performance... not that most people actually need 450+ horsepower for their crossover, of course.

I feel like that is an insult to 90s KIAs

No, KIAs are pretty dogshit. But I can appreciate the sentiment.

Eh not really. Priced like what a lower middle class person THINKS a Porsche is. Porsches are more expensive.

Exactly. Most Porsches are knocking on the door of six-figures (in £). Sure, some people buy the base marques, but everyone at the country club will know you cheaped out...

In my (limited) experience, the expensive country club set is more likely to be driving a 15 year old Volvo than a new SUV.

3 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

That's true enough, but those Volvos were also quite expensive when new. Top of the range XC90 is about $80,000. It's like the difference between driving Range Rover Evoque and an SV. Lots buy a new evoque with its economical diesel engine to keep up with the Jones' - but old money still hoon around in their ancient HSE with the massive V8 petrol and think nothing of it.

A base model Porsche SUV is about the same as a Tesla SUV.

A base Porsche Macan is £53,000 (about $68,000). A base Cayenne is £67,000 (~$86,000), though most marques sold are about £80,000 ($103,000). A base version Model Y is £44,000 (~$57,000), with a performance model at £59,000 (~$76,000).

Go feature for feature and compare models with comparable models. Tesla does have some more expensive models but the bulk of their offerings are noticeably lower than Porsche's. They aren't comparable.
