I have a 2019 Tesla that has under 30k miles on it. Working from home so I drive like 1 mile per day mostly. I'm hoping it last another 5 or so and it will be my kids first car, but we will see. I was hoping it would just be driving them around itself by the time my kids could drive but Elon went bonkers and bought twitter instead.

Do any of you auto aficionados have any experience with the Chevy Traverse?  Mrs Schreds is looking at buying one.

My sister in law has one and she likes it. I had one as a rental last year and it drove nice. I’d probably buy one if I needed that kind of sled.

I know a couple people who lease the Buick version every couple years religiously.

Yeah, I have a 2018 and while I finally got the heat replaced here in Canadia, having it go out really soured me even more beyond just ol Musk. I really want to see what the Ford T3 is, or if they'll make like an electric Maverick. Or I'll go with a Kia EV6/similar. With Tesla opening up their supercharger network/winning the NACS vs CCS, while a great move for everyone, also to me takes the last sort of advantage they had. And that is with their Highland Model 3 getting actually good reviews on build quality/drive quality improvements. I'll almost certainly be going elsewhere when I make the change (2025 or 2026).

I will also say though, their service center in Saskatoon kicked ass on helping me with getting the heat fixed, I am very appreciative of them.

This is timely.  Oldest just turned 16.  He’s busy enough with practices and work that we’re sick of driving him around.  What do we get?  Preferably something good enough to last him through college or to pass down to two other kids.  But he’s probably going to wreck the thing so nothing super nice.  Just an old Toyota I guess.  He’ll hate it.

Just get a used camry or corolla and it will last him through college. A bonus is that you don't have to worry about him trying to race his classmates or driving like a fool because.... well he's driving a camry or corolla.

I'll prob look elsewhere as well, but I don't have any complaints with my car outside of the jinx I just gave myself. I'd love to go Rivian, but I just can't bring myself to spend that much money on a vehicle. I'm def staying EV so it will just depend on what else is out there. The main appeal to Tesla for me was that they built a normal/good looking car as opposed to the other companies that think an EV needs to look like my kid designed it from a lego set or a sci fi movie. I'm convinced none of the other companies want to sell them so they put out these shitty looking things only to say they tried. Just make a normal looking EV you dumbasses!

I plan to buy lil sd a wrangler when he turns 16. because I deserved one at that age and got completely mumped out of it by my bad person parents. Golden rule like the Bible says.

The Wrangler kid is both loved and hated.

Reminds me that I bought my son an '88 Jeep Comanche in 1999 and he loved it.  I bought my daughter a '02 Kia Sportage in 2004 and she thought it was something gays drove. LOL

Words to the wise...don't let your ass decide what your mind will fight you over as time passes.

I'm going to pretend we're not counting cybertruck in all of this.

Rivian R2 just announced for 2026. I might put an order in. 2 more years on my 2019 Tesla and closer to battery warranty. I'll most likely still have very low mileage so who knows if i'll pull the trigger. They look pretty sweet though.

Looks like they use the same marketing and design team as Apple. Just put a lower case i in front of Rivian

[Pete]

Very cool tech. Still likely going to buy a hybrid until they can give me 5 minute charging and 800 mile range.

The R3 is perfect for me

We will just have an electric and gas until this happens. The charging isn't a big deal as I just plug in at home. Its a minor annoyance when traveling, but the superchargers are pretty fast. I've only done a couple longer trips that required supercharging and its never been much of an issue. A couple of times it has worked out where the hotel had free charging which absolutely rough ridin' rules.

It’s definitely the right thing for the planet.
