I'm interested to revisit these predictions a month from now. My priors of "Bret is wrong about everything always" have been pretty reliable so far

I just like the cars. And I'm not really sure where your bias is coming from. Did you get rear ended by a Leaf or something?

Nope, that’s not how EV batteries work. I have a 3 year old EV. The range is basically the same as when I got it (300 miles).

For sure, I’m just saying that the big benefit to a $22k EV is that in 5 years you’ll be able to it buy it used for less than a used Corolla. That’s a big deal for EV adoption.

$22k is the same price as a Toyota Corolla. If you can’t afford that, you probably shouldn’t be buying a new car. The used car market exists for a reason.

Honestly, the 2018 Apple buyout is probably the only reason it *hasn’t* been enshittified. They don’t have to worry about appeasing shareholders with “Shazam plus”, now it’s just another iPhone stock app rolled into Apple’s stupidly big bottom line
