It's nuts. I know someone that bought a fully electric Escalade. Sticker on it was $209k. MSRP was what he paid. I can only imagine the resale value in a year or so.

My daughter likes her hybrid.
Just stop at any large truck stop with charging stations out in the country. You’ll see full charging stations that take a long time and a lot of others waiting their turn.
Without a sense of urgency, nothing ever happens.

No desire for a new truck. Can't work on them and they are stupid expensive now. Rat holing that money for a piece of hunting ground and a boat. I don't care what people think about the truck I drive anymore, especially materialistic women. No need for flashy things and BS, past that.

I think keeping a vehicle until it dies will become the norm. Between houses and autos, I don't see how younger folks can afford to accumulate anything. They will never be out of debt if they have to finance everything for a long time. 40 year mortgages and 10 year car loans will probably be the result. It's a bad trap.

So, the guy complaining about EVs is trying to sell electric bikes in the middle of his video? Sorry. He lost all credit there.

I think keeping a vehicle until it dies will become the norm. Why wasn't it already? It's not like vehicles became overly complex overnight. I have a 2003 Yukon Denali with 184K bought in 2008 with 66K, 2005 Bonneville with 115K bought with 80K, a 2009 Saturn Vue with 148K bought with 135K, a 2007 Sierra with 181K bought with 77K, and a 2014 Chevy Equinox I got for free at 171K that has a 177K now. They're all paid for. Out of those five, I financed the Yukon for 5 years and paid the bank off in three. Financed the Sierra from my Dad on a three year but paid him off in one. The other three were cash. Between houses and autos, I don't see how younger folks can afford to accumulate anything. They will never be out of debt if they have to finance everything for a long time. 40 year mortgages and 10 year car loans will probably be the result. It's a bad trap. 40 year mortgages and 10 year car notes are already the norm. I have one more kid to buy for in the next two years and I will consider replacing my wife's Yukon. She has been driving it for 15 years and it was five years old when I got it. The dealerships deserve every bit that's coming at them. The manufacturer should take by far the greatest blame. Dealers are just franchises.
Pass the gravy.

This is penance for all the dealer "market adjustments" people were dumb enough to pay for.....that was not on the manufacturer. Certain dealerships were not charging extra because people are impatient and gullible.

As was the case when high gas prices resulted in SUV's collecting dust on sales lots across the nation, the American taxpayer will eventually provide another bailout.
