Still probably better for most of them than leasing.
We may consider a lease, given how little we drive.

Always kinda wanted a Bentley.

Electric Cars Are Far Less Reliable, According to Consumer Reports (roadandtrack.com)

I'm not at all a fan of CR and their methods.  Anyway, this likely is true.  

I read some of their reports on things I knew a bit about and they were at a HS science project level, really not good at all, ridiculous techniques.

Like.....who approved that design?  I really need to know.  

I mean, it didn't have to look like this, surely.  

Looks like somebody in upper management said "Hey Bob....make it so it looks like a Mars rover."

I figured they were going for "unique" and maybe it appeals to folks who want to signal they are just that, and have no real interest in having a truck.

Pretty sure it was Elon who wanted it to look like this.
