Are Teslas Basically Corollas Now?

The Lucid cars are beautiful! I saw one on 495 recently and had no idea what it was. I had to Google Lucid when I got home to check it out.

The Lucid models are around $10k more than the Model S but they look like they're about $30k more in terms of sleekness, tbh. I was surprised to find out the Lucid was under $100k.

This post shows how stupid you people are and are blinded by your Musk hate. Lucid? Really? The trash car backed by Saudi interests? Oh how ironic, you left loons crap on Teslas because of politics but then push a brand like Lucid that is backed by Saudi Arabia. Total hypocrisy.

Newsflash: Lucid are $100k+ piles of dog excrement. So many users report getting bricked. Multiple instances have been reported of Lucids driving forward when the car was out into reverse to back out. Lucid is so bad they fired an internal safety engineer who tried to whistle blow to federal agencies that the company was not reporting their safety performance accurate.

You people are dumb. We get it, we get it. Elon BaD! AnYThInG BuT TeSlA! Enjoy you $100k brick/lucid death machine.

It's like you're Elon himself, given the crazy way you're talking, LOL!

No, crazy is crapping on Tesla then turning around and pumping Saudi backed lucid with these kinds of safety issues streaming out from drivers:

Going to a gas station is like 5 minutes once a week even for heavy usage. 4 hours of your life for a year's usage. Meanwhile a couple of roadtrips and they are spending that much time waiting for it charge. Not to mention plugging in at home...

Until you go home and plug in overnight and it's ready to go in the morning. So awesome!

Great! Try taking it on a long highway trip without stopping several times an hour each time every few hundred miles. No thanks.

That isn't a thing.

I don't know a Leaf range, but I was only stopping every 300 miles in my Y.

+1. It’s nuts, they’re nuts. Also the angry and aggressive Tesla stan. Car brands sure bring out the crazies.

Really glitchy Corollas.

Doesn't Nissan have an EV? Anyone know/heard how it is?

So owning a Tesla is a political statement and to be cool and not to save money on gas or save the planet? Funny how people out themselves.

The price has come down on the base model so more people can afford them. That doesn't sit well with the elite.

Huh? The "elite" are buying electric Volvos, BMWs, Lucids and ID.4 Pros, all equal to or more expensive than the cheap Teslas. If wanting to think you're "elite" is the issue (and you're stupid for thinking that's top of mind for many or most car buyers), anybody can achieve "elite" status without buying a bland Musk-mobile.

On another note, I used to drive a Camry wagon my ILs gave us. Its styling was about as bland as a Tesla.

+1 Wealthy people aren't buying Teslas. They are buying Lucid, Rivian, other "prestige brands". Tesla is very middle class, maybe even lower middle class at this point. A Tesla Model 3 costs $20K less than a KIA EV. Think about that.

LMC here and I can testify that we are not buying Teslas.

Would love love love for teslas to be the equivalent of corollas - no nonsense cars that require minimal maintenance and refuse to die. My last corolla outlasted my mortgage. We have two teslas, solar panels on our roof, and I hope to be driving them at 500k miles. I have paid less than $100 this year in charging costs to drive 12k miles.

Corollas are much cooler cars than Teslas. They are qualitatively better. Elon Musk has done a lot to destroy the brand. But Toyota generally makes pretty good cars. Whereas Teslas tend to be problematic

And then there's the douchebag factor

Rich people drive the Model X. The wing doors are baller!

Rivian and Lucid, really? I don't know anyone who has one who actually likes their vehicle though I like how Rivian's trucks look.

The Mustang Mach-E is the car several of my rich friends have and really like.

I actually like the Mustang Mach-E, but rich people who want to telegraph their taste drop $$ on an electric Volvo, BMW or Lexus.

Tesla's are for fanboys and think they are elite with their cheap plasticized cars that die at a big puddle or a fender bender. I LOVE my Rivian. I loved it so much we got the truck to go with the other one.

How do people get tricked into spending soooo much money on a horrifically ugly looking car? Boggles the mind people spend money on Rivians with their stupid Dyson fan looking headlights.

You can always rent a gas powered car if you want to take a long road trip. EV’s are good for daily commuting.

Along same lines but instead of renting bought a traditional gas-powered minivan that's the "haul kids and dog around town" vehicle, plenty of room in the back for fido and kids to change clothes between ECs and haul all the equipment and so on... as well as pack in luggage and have a more comfy ride/environment for long weekend road trips to neighboring states, etc. without to manage the logistical constraint of charging times/locations. Could substitute for a mid+ SUV if minivans rub your ego the wrong way, but we're more practical about function over style/status.

Smaller (non-Tesla) EV is wonderful and cheaper for commuting, running errands, and so on around town. This two-car combo is perfect for our family until/unless AVs are able to fill in some of these needs at some indeterminate point in the future and/or the kids become drivers themselves (still years down the road).

Corollas don’t depreciate like this
