The DMC-12s have held up pretty well over 40 years or so but I'm not sure if that's just survivorship bias from obsessive DeLorean owners cleaning their cars regularly and not ever taking them out.

As someone new to the whole thing, what exactly is the nominal appeal of the cybertruck? It doesn’t appear to be able to do any truck-stuff outside of (possibly?) some pulling, and it looks like it came out of the bad kind of sci fi b movie. Who is the target audience for this?

Most car manuals don't say "your car is entirely unpainted, not even a clear coat, all visible scratches are in the panel itself" and lots of dealerships try to upcharge you on additional protection for the underside and paint.

DMC-12s get painted a lot because the stainless is a huge pain in the rear end to keep looking nice, also the Cybrtrk is made out of 301 stainless, which is slightly less corrosion resistant than the DMC's 304 stainless.

Also DMC-12s are not supposedly a truck and expected by morons to do truck things. Which often involves driving through a lot of crap! There is a DMC-12 in my area and I have seen him driving it in some gnarly weather but I imagine when it's snow/ice/salt he keeps it parked in a nice garage. Looks like it is in good shape!

Hyundai's current promotion would drop one into my price range I drove the Kona EV for several months and it was pretty mediocre, I've posted about its issues itt as I was discovering them. I can't say that it has any major issues, just a lot of little annoying ones. It was like the design team's goal was to make the driver slightly annoyed in one thousand different ways.

ilkhan posted:Yeah but they make money on service. They should welcome having more orders come through at near 0 effort. That's the big issue. The assumption is that EVs will require significantly less service than ICE cars, so when someone buys an EV instead of ICE that's a loss for the dealership. On the other hand, couple weeks ago I read an article that EVs are hoped to help with the acute lack of mechanics. Tinkering with an EVs may sound more enticing for youths to enter in the business, than being elbow deep in engine oil.

I didn’t realize piss enthusiasts was the EV target demographic. I’m tired of everywhere I go people just assume I’m into piss and talk to me about it. I just wanted an EV for the cost savings!

I saw one today at the dealership, the interior is much better and has more space. The exterior on the other hand... I bought it used 2021 Kona ultimate after driving model 3 for almost 2 weeks. I found Kona to be an improvement in many ways.

Rabid Elon Musk fanboys who just want something that looks all futuristic and stuff, I would imagine. Or just Elon Musk himself. Though I have heard speculation that the Cybertruck is being used as a test bed for technology (48 volt architecture, steer-by-wire) that Tesla will put in the new Model Y. Out of curiosity: Does anyone in this thread personally know anyone who has any intention of purchasing a Cybertruck?

Consumer reports reliability on cars is usually suspect as thy rate it on peoples opinion and people treat cars like poo poo, never read the manual. According to consumer reports our previous car was a money pit but in our experience it was only a money pit if you didn't maintain it

Doesn't consumer reports also count some of the most trivial stuff on the level of "user doesn't know how to turn off the dome light" or "the floor mats get dirty and are hard to clean" as a reliability problem? I seem to remember reading some article where they rated some vehicle as the least reliable and through the entire list of problems they said it had none whatsoever prevented the vehicle from starting/driving for thousands of miles/getting prompt service/etc and multiple examples across all the vehicles tested amounted to the operators failure to read the manual. It was like them saying a WiFi router was unreliable because they forgot their password.

They split out powertrain from the rest in the actual car review, so it's pretty easy to ignore "unreliability" in fit and finish.

If I lived in a butt cold place I’d just get a hybrid. From an emissions perspective the most efficient hybrids are pretty close to BEVs. Depending on your state’s energy mix they are sometimes even greener. You don’t get the sickass instant torque but you save some money.

Correct me if i’m wrong but almost all hybrids mean CVT, and as a traditional car guy that’s a bridge i refuse to cross If i’m hearing an engine it needs to not sound like it has a badly slipping clutch ICE or BEV, there is no in between

ROFLBOT posted:Correct me if i’m wrong but almost all hybrids mean CVT, and as a traditional car guy that’s a bridge i refuse to cross The Kia/Hyundai hybrids have a DCT and it's not exactly a big win, even though its not quite as bad as Fords DCT... I hope. I own one. The feeling of downshifting during regen braking is weird as hell, DCTs need more maintenance than Prius-style CVTs, and there's currently a recall where fluid leaks into PCBs can cause fires. I just got the letter that the repair is ready and I need to schedule it. My understanding is that a lot of the reason the Ford Power shift exists, and why the Koreans are using DCTs in their hybrids, is to avoid patents on CVTs or traditional autos.

ROFLBOT posted:Correct me if i’m wrong but almost all hybrids mean CVT, and as a traditional car guy that’s a bridge i refuse to cross No the Volvo PHEV has a really nice setup with a pretty torquey rear electric motor with ICE driving the front wheels through an excellent 8spd transmission. You can even do the semi manual shifting! It’s really loving fast for a midsize sedan/wagon/crossover. And 40mi pure electric range for just toodling around. Straight pipes guys just did a review of the v60 version it’s basically identical to what I got in November and I love it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2C-KVqQgz4

Also in a driving appliance, hopefully everything is super quiet and you’re hearing very little/none - which is what everyone wants in a cruiser anyway. Every dct pretty much has some sort of issues and clunky at very low speeds. But Mazda should have ATs in their upcoming hybrid cars.

I’ve got a Lexus HEV and the engine+CVT is barely noticeable sound wise. Not sporty by any means, but you get the electric motor kick when accelerating and its pretty efficient at 45mpg. Unless you drive pretty aggressively the CVT should no longer be a dealbreaker imho.

Is there a consensus on whether it's better for battery longevity to charge back to your preferred max (e.g. 80%) every day or to run the battery down to 20% over the course of a few days then recharge? I know it's a hot topic but I haven't found a consensus. Maybe that's my answer - there is no consensus and it's not worth worrying about? I read my EV9's manual and it gives no recommendation.
