Mine at 100% charge gets 175 miles of range (don't turn on the climate because that knocks it down to 160 miles), dealer says they are working on a fix. But won't look at the car.

You may want to look at the Hyundai Ioniq 6. Rated for 360 mile range on a 100% charge, and Hyundai's been doing $7,500 cashback to offset the ineligibility for federal credits. And if you're really lucky, your state won't charge sales tax—NJ didn't for mine.

Too bad insurance on this would be another $200

People cant comprehend the idea. They fixate on the what if situation and get wrapped up in it.

I have gas cars as well as electric. If I want to go on a long road trip, I would rent a car to avoid depreciation/wear of my gas car and put the thousands of miles on it.

Why would I drive my wife's X5M on a road trip when I can rent a Sienna for 50 bucks a day and put the 2k miles on it. Same situation as my Tesla, I've driven from Missouri to Chicago, took one stop each way for about 45 mins. My hotel in Chicago had a charger and I left with a full battery.
So you booked a hotel which has electric car charging option. Point is people don't want to spend that extra time looking for these options and would like to wait until it is normalized.
I'm not criticising, but just presenting that info. Getting electric car means, you will have to plan bit more carefully when going to for a long trip.

You're not listening, they're saying don't take the EV on long trips.

I can't replicate this deal in So Cal. Best I got so far was about $2,800 down and $289/month.
I don't think a Subaru is in my future. It's misleading. At least with Tesla the payment is exactly the same except the tax/registration part.
Curious about the Nissan Leaf I read in this thread though.

With EVs, the battery is the weak point of the purchase. It goes down to almost zero value at some point. I have 1998 Z3 and a 2002 Civic, both drive great. But an EV at that age may not do well, not matter the milage.
That at my two friends with Teslas have had the suspension mostly changed out after 40k miles. Luckily under warranty, but I warned them to maybe sell now or risk it happening again.
Civic suspension never changed a thing.
Z3 though did get new shocks and struts at 30k miles but that was because I wanted a smoother ride. lifetime warranty on them.

I contacted a couple of dealerships in my area and looks like the price is $329 per month

Seems like I read somewhere that it was 35 cents a KWH or so there, which is crazy. I pay 12-15 cents a KWH. And honestly, I haven't seriously considered an EV purchase, so I've never researched electricity costs per mile. I'd love it if a current EV owner could comment on operating costs.
CA resident here. My off peak cost is 48.84¢/kWh and my peak cost is 51.68¢/kWh.

Two years ago it was 37.37¢/kWh & 39.01¢/kWh respectively.

Until they make an EV which fully recharges in 15-20 mins (this is the time taken to refill gas, use the restroom and grab something to munch on while I'm on long trips) I'll be avoiding these for now. As it stands, Toyota's hydrogen engines look more promising.
It's not even as much charging time as it is places to even charge these things. If I am on a trip I can pass a gas station every few miles. These cars are okay if you are just putting around town but not for long road trips.

99% of the continental US population lives within 50-100 miles of a Tesla supercharger...and the lowest range of any car they sell is 260 miles.... barring some really edge cases like the hinterlands of Montana is pretty hard to find any route you can't easily find chargers along the way for any given road trip. I agree the Subaru in question is primarily an around town car- not so EVs in general though.

ICE drivers plan their trips based on attractions.
EV drivers plan their trips based on superchargers.

Congrats on reaching exactly the opposite conclusion the facts proved!

Kia/hyundai can do that already for the most part.

This deeply misunderstands how most people use cars.

99% of the time you're NOT on a road trip.

Which means you have to waste 5-10 minutes a week (or 10-20 if you drive a lot- or more if you fuel at costco ) hitting gas stations to keep your car fueled...and multiply that by 50 weeks a year spent locally.

While an EV owner wastes 0 time detouring anywhere, they're charging while they sleep at home (and for a much lower cost too) always waking up to a fueled vehicle with plenty of range for all their local driving.



The couple times a year a longer trip happens, they're still typically not doing more than 500 miles in a single day. Which a longer range EV can do with ONE stop of 15-20 minutes--- about the same as you'd make in a gas car to not just fuel, but get drinks, use the restroom, etc.

Even if you're a marathoner who wants to do 700 miles in a day a second 15-20 min stop gets you there (or a single longer stop when having a sit-down meal, as most folks travelling 10+ hours would do anyway)


And either way thanks to the local time savings, over the course of a whole year you waste far less time "fueling" an EV than you ever will keeping a gas car fueled all year.



Again the road trip stuff applies to most EVs sold these days- which have 250-350 miles of range out of the gate, and support real, fairly ubiquitous, fast charging.... the Subaru in this deal is not that and really is a throwback good-for-local-drives car because Toyota tech is so out of date... but applying that outlier to EVs in general is to simply ignore the reality of modern EVs (of which this isn't really one)
look at the time wasted while waiting for a tesla van (gas powered too..ha) or AAA to arrive and change your tire...oh wait, Tesla has no spare tire. Hello flat bed tow truck. Nobody wants to deal with no spare tire on board.

This might be the worst car on the market right now. It's not worth free.

Fiskers are being given away because the company is out of money and will shortly be out of business. Who would buy a nearly-new car with 0 warranty, parts availability, or anyone willing or able to ever fix it or do anything with the software?
Sorry, I meant to say Polestar, and they are owned by Volvo.

Or actually I could have said that I meant to say Ford F-150 Lightnings, for which $120K new MSRP Lightnings with 500 miles on the odometer as shown by a recent popular youtuber the best dealer offer cash purchase was for half of that, making it one of the highest depreciating EVs available.

2022 Tesla Model 3s have massively dropped in value as well, leaving people on the forums fuming about how they are upside down.

Point is, EVs have horrific resale value right now, so while a lease is also fine, check the used market as it is insane how much they depreciate.

its not that there is zero EV demand, EV sales are actually increasing, its that every manufacturer HUGELY overestimated EV popularity. Mercedes has EVs with 380 days of inventory available, that's pretty crazy. Meanwhile, try to find a Ford Maverick Hybrid or Rav4 Hybrid or Prius Hybrid and you'll pay over MSRP if you can find one. They underestimated hybrid demand and overestimated EV demand, its that simple. Ford CEO just admitted as much two weeks ago.
