this exactly, there isn’t an EV I could afford without a massive loan, in the United States, really interested in seeing how the Slate turns out tho, I have high hopes and low expectations.
Comment on Used EVs break records while sales of new EVs plummet

Sales are plummeting because everything got out of hand and is priced too high for a whole class of consumers.

I bought a used EV, and the loan is massive and more than I can afford (but I didn't have a choice - my area is car dependent and I go many places too far for my bike)

That’s all cars right now. Even 24 year old shit boxes are going for $3000 grand these days. The car market is completely fucked regardless of the engine/motor type.

facts, I was looking to buy a used pickup, I’m seeing pickups from the year 2000 going for 8000-11,000, granted these are the high end with low miles for their age, but they are still ancient by vehicle standards.

Umm, someone appears to be pumping and dumping the whole economy. Nobody wants to spend money in our class when the class two or three orders of magnitude above are thrashing the whole damned econ about like a ragdoll. Even people one order of mag up aren't too keen on investing when there is so much uncertainty, supply chain and otherwise.
