I haven’t heard that it’s high risk either, merely that it’s usually miserable. Part of me wants to know what that feels like though.

Honestly, hats off to those who enjoy it

I’ve long been interested in this and dph for the large number of “don’t do it” stories. Same with h, but that one tends to be “don’t do it because it’s so good”.

Don’t think I ever will, but stories like yours always give me a tingle.

What? A Model 3 starts at 42k (without the tax credit) or 299/mo for a lease. That’s below average for new cars in America, or significantly below average if you qualify for the tax credit. KBB says the average for a new car in December 2024 was nearly 50k.

And sure, not everyone can afford a new car, but very few Tesla buyers are “that kind of income” wealthy.

One thing I really like about the Lucid Air is that the big screen retracts. Makes it look and feel quite different, almost like an older car without the big screen.

Important controls like seats, temperature, and volume/pause are physical. So you can have the big screen when you want it, and it goes away when you don’t. More cars should do that, though the additional moving part probably isn’t great for longevity.
