I rode in my first model 3 (first tesla, really) on Sat thanks to the uber driver who took me to the airport. It felt more like a regular car than I expected, but also noisier and rougher-riding than I expected, too. It was rather disappointing considering the cost, to be honest. I’m sure my opinion would be different if I was the pilot. But, as a passenger, meh.

No word yet from the Nissan buyer. Hopefully not a flake.

Same here actually. But I’m not sure if I’ve even ridden in a hybrid.

I've been fortunate enough to have short drives in both a Tesla Model 3 and the Polestar 2 - owned by @jpp75 and @breld, respectively. Plus my test drives of the XC40 Recharge and the VW ID.4.

I’ve ridden in several Teslas and my experience mirrors Q. I drove a Fusion hybrid as a rental a few years back. I liked it, but it was slow.

I find riding as passenger to be “meh” in most cars. But I’m also a horrible passenger generally and need to the the one driving.
Pretty sure the crashing over bumps would irritate me in such a pricey car, even if driving. And this one was less than 2 mos old, so certainly not worn in any way. It was a totally base model with autopilot, he said.

The tonneau I ordered arrived today and it was very simple to install. I’ll have to get back to you about the soft opener for the tailgate, as it got dark last night and I decided I’d reached a good stopping point.
Looks great! Can't even tell it isn't factory. Are you planning on putting some sort of bed liner in? Even if you just cut a piece of cardboard out or a rubber mat from tractor supply to protect the painted surface. It will scratch (and drive you crazy, especially you).

Just made payment 24 so a year to go. Wife hasn’t said but if it’s up to me I’ll be chasing a lease on something.
I’d consider another XC90 or a 60. Grand Cherokee is always a good choice as well. Wife would love a 4XE version.
————————————————-Question answered. You’re getting a 4XE. It’s always nice to have time to adjust to a major purchase.

You might get your 10K after all.

@nyccarguy Yes! I was going to get the Ford factory mat, but after getting the tonneau from Realtruck in only a couple of days (it helps that their warehouse is only 85 miles away), I think I’ll order one from them instead. My plan was/is that if the sides of the bed get scratched, I’d just have a spray in liner done at that point.

Back on the Nissan, the buyer emailed late this morn. He is in "south OH" and planning to fly here and drive back.

I'll take the E450 (or the X5 before that) when I have passengers, or if I simply want the more spacious and comfortable environment. And I drive the ZHP generally on weekends, when I'm in the mood for that more raw connected experience.
Ideally, I'd like to replace the Polestar with an EV that has the comfort and space of the E450. Could be the Polestar 3 or the Rivian R1S. Maybe the upcoming MB EQE. I also have renewed interest in the BMW i4, though that isn't necessarily any more spacious than the Polestar 2.

I’ve been with my wife since 2008. I don’t think I’ve been a passenger more than 5 times. She hates to drive.

Eh, don’t judge so quickly. Single young guy who has a 9-5 consulting job and decided to uber the weekends for extra money. He financed the tesla.

I was also told by an Uber driver there were incentives to having a new Tesla.
One of my Uber drivers was a Salesman who drove to multiple accounts per day. He would turn on the service in between accounts and on the way home to pick up some extra cash

I kind of like the new Caddy EV which seems like a legit value, and the quirky angular Ioniq.
Best to him and you!
And, honestly, that's what "ridesharing" is all about. Not these professional taxi drivers that call themselves rideshare drivers.
The thing about EV styling that I don’t like is the fact that there is no grill. I know it isn’t necessary, but I like to see holes in the front of a car!

I was surprised it “only” went for $12,1… though it does need a timing belt. If I had the justification and place to park an extra car, that would have been tempting as the time ticked down.
The real trick would be if he did it the other way around.

Anyway, got a brand new CLA as a loaner. It’s stylish looking, but I’m not crazy about driving it. Last I took the X5 in, it was nice that they had a 5-series as a loaner. No such luck at the MB dealer.
