GMC has significantly cut the price of the 2023 bolt. Hopefully, the orher manufacturers do the same.

Wow. I need to check this out. Along with Trudeauā€™s planned $8000 electric car credit, this could make me reconsider. I like the Bolt EUV. Not crazy about the base version.

I agree on the euv.

No wonder their prices keep going up.

My guess is he wants to lay off a bunch of people and having them resign is easier.

I think thatā€™s pretty clear. Elon is a dick.

Mandatory subscription to onstar for new gm products. They will add it to cost of purchase price. Probably a bad move. But it is GM, so no surprise.

Remember this? 3 years ago. Iā€™ve heard nothing. Iā€™ll pour seawater in my car if they want.

Iā€™d get a plug in hybrid but buying a car with battery only that takes 3 days to charge probably wonā€™t have much value in 5 years.

Toyota has been the smart ones. They are banking on solid state. Better for infrastructure and the environment and much more convenient.

BMW announced they are requiring an $18.00 subscription for heated seats.

This gmc is $1500.

Sorry, I didnā€™t read article. It shouldnā€™t be difficult to believe but it is. Vehicles are unaffordable already.

Good. I can see parking like that if you drove an audi or bmw.

My sister just bought a 2014 bmw 320i. Good god. I hope she didnā€™t get rid of her toyota. Toyotas are so cheap to take care of. I wish I had known. I would have told her how dumb that was. Now, there is no point in telling her how dumb that was.

I do wonder if it is her boyfriend and his jeep failed inspection. Buying a jeep is as bad as buying a bmw, so Iā€™m hoping it was him.

I canā€™t see parking like that even if you own a Rolls Royce (and given that said ownership would probably indicate that youā€™re an idiot, you might well park like that).

I actually agree that BMWs are horrible to maintain, even though Iā€™ve owned a bunch of them over the years. They are fun, though, at least some of them. I admit none of the new ones appeal to me at all, motorcycles or cars.

I visited a Toyota dealer recently and they told me the waiting list for an electric Rav4 is 5 years. Their current cars just donā€™t move me at all either.

Really, Kia is the only maker of electric cars that I am currently moved by. I like their electrics. The price is a bit shocking, though. $67k for the one below.

She still has the toyota. Phew.
