Kablam!

I am all in on each person buying the car that they choose for whatever their reason.

We own a 2016 Nissan Leaf SL with 46K miles purchased in 2019 that is a Keeper and a 2023 Tesla Model Y with 30K that's a Keeper in part due to the AI version of FSD that really drives well. I have had FSD for 15 months and this Version 12 rocks.

I got the Leaf in 2019 when all major brands committed to stop selling ICE over the next two decades. Because the kids can't charge at their apartments both are looking at hybrids for their next vehicle purchase.

It is my personal experience view today for the working person in the market for a new car to check out Tesla options for value and function. I have been driving Nissans for over 50 years.

My first new car was the 1973 Datsun 1200 that lasted for 200,000 miles as my daily driver. My second new car is the 2023 Tesla Model Y Dual Motor Long Range. I'm still putting tags on 6 ICE vehicles because the kids being in college and our trucks so we are a 1/3 EV family today.

I do not plan to wait 50 years to buy my next new vehicle.

I expect you will really enjoy the Kia EV9. Most everyone that hangs out on this thread will sooner or later get bit by the EV bug.

Not us. For a daily driver we recently bought a Kia Rio "toaster". Inexpensive transportation. In 9 years another Hyundai or Kia ICE.
I just bought this which was more expensive, car #20. Never a battery car for us that I can ever see.

Sooner or later, some of your wealth will be used to buy an EV.
