The build quality (Cybertruck) is the worst I've ever seen, the owners are going to regret they dumped $100K on this nightmare.

I saw a poll that just came out and a lot of people now do not want an EV. PHEV's or Hybrids .. yes but not a EV.

So what’s gonna happen when companies like VOLVO ditch gas in 2030 ?? With other companies to follow ….

Cyber trucks are on dealership lots cause it brings in customers. It’s on a Porsche dealership people look , say wow then go right back to their Cayman order 😂😂

3 Fs of EVs….. Fanboys, Fires, Freebies ( government subsidies) and Free fall depreciation

The difference between this and your beloved German wagons is that for those of us who keep our vehicles, buying a BMW or Audi is a crapshoot. German cars should be leased, not bought. The Toyota will deliver service long after that Audi has lost a cylinder and now needs a new engine.

EVS ARE NOT CARS

Practical people do not pay 51K for a 35K vehicle. Toyota's greed is going to sink them as they should be.

Do you think the fact you went solely to politically conservative states played a role in excess EVs?

19:20 everyone is most certainly NOT going to agree we want clean air. In fact one party leader is running on actively making it dirtier. You have to know this.

16:27 who is forcing anyone to buy anything? You make it sound like I can’t go to ANY state in the union, and buy the filthiest diesel burning truck TODAY. Tell me specifically how the “government” is trying to keep me from buying ICE today. I can’t wait to hear your examples.

GM's Ultium disaster will be a business case study for generations to come

I just assume it's 90% CZcamsrs buying the Cybertruck and the rest are celebs and other non car people.

All of the car bloggers who have some liquid assets will get an advantage getting cars earlier than you and me and flipping them when it suits them.

Spot on MM!

Congrats! I love the name Ava! Pussy Galore sounds very heteronormative.

The best use of an electric motor in a car? That would be the BMW B58! I'll take mine in the m440i xDrive .. It drives like a sports sedan ........................................ because, IT IS ONE! And is as practical as any mid-size SUV .. It may cost more, but ....................... as they say; YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

I actually like this format better than most of your interviews with other people. With just you talking, I learn more and in less time about what’s on your mind. Please do this more often. You are the expert and your opinion of what’s going on is very informative! Thank you MotoMan! I agree with you about the Lyriq. A very good first effort by Cadillac. They need to keep the momentum they achieved with the current Blackwings. The rear quarter of the Lyriq doesn’t match the attractiveness of the front 3 quarters. It is a deceptively long vehicle bigger than most mid size SUV’s. And I can’t stand the center mounted rear brake light. Every other exterior light is that distinctive vertical Cadillac look except that one. It’s a weird square that looks like someone stuck it up there as an afterthought. Gross!

It’s flippers trying to make a profit and the market is calming down now. By the end of the summer the “Foundation Series” will end and regular production and regular prices >$20K will start. I have one on order and I will happily wait for the prices to go down. I have two Teslas already and I know the game.

Great episode, a couple of more things, inflation is in the real world is 20 plus percent and dealers sold cars way over sticker and burned bridges with many customers! Insurance cost is gone through the roof, my truck insurance went up $500 per year and that was with me writing a check for year in advance! Thank you for telling the truth, they jumped out way too far on all electric market and now they are paying a hefty price!!!

I was so distracted by the beautiful car. Wow.

Um...1900 kg, NOT 2,900... It's under 2 tonnes...which is lighter than a BMW i5.

I feel that vehicles that spend a majority of it's life in the city should be electric. Semis should try both ways. Some electric some hybrids. That would make the most sense. VW has even pulled back on its rush to electric. Let the delivery vehicles, the emergency vehicles, city vehicles, and "taxis". That needs to be said to the heads of these companies.

Whenever I see someone with a Mach-E. I chuckle to myself.

I mean a tacoma cost you 60k so is this price is bad?

Who on their right mind buys a CT? That vehicle represents everything that is wrong with the automotive industry today.

The goal of the global lockstep EV agenda is not to replace ICE vehicles with EV's. The goal is to radically reduce private vehicle ownership and maximize the number of people living in cities. The goal is population control (in every sense). People living outside of cities owning private vehicles powered by PORTABLE energy source are much harder to control than people in cities who don't own their own vehicle or who own EV.

Pretty even handed and thorough assessment of the EV segment. We own an S and X and thought about EQS and R1S, whether EVE or not please do research first then make the purchase that makes you happy

I think Toyota were right to stick with hybrids and PHEVs. I couldn't justify the price of an Ioniq 5, even though I really like it. We ended up with a Venza. My own car is a 2011, and I have no interest in replacing it for at least another five years. We'll see where EV tech and charging infrastructure is at that point, but I may cave and buy a Toyota Century (I really want a V12!).

I saw four Lyric’s in a row yesterday in Bellevue WA. Looked like a dealer move. All different colors. They did look big

You’re spot on, this is a great video!

eff gm and ford

Why are you talking about EV's & the Lyriq while continuing to gesture at a supra? Strange

New camry due to price hikes seems not so affordable anymore.

the drive axle hump when there is no drive axle annoys me

Now I have something entertaining to watch besides cat videos.

Why that caddy looks like a supra

I actually like the hockey stick design. It reminds me of older Cadillacs with wings back in the day.

MISS: The month of “May brought Hyundai its best month ever for the IONIQ 5 crossover, with sales up 82% over the same period last year.” HIT: Lyric is a porker like all GM/Ultium/Honda EV’s. MISS: It’s not Miata light but my IONIQ 5 AWD is quicker, quieter and a much better ride fitting five than the Miata and honestly other heavier ICE vehicles you’ve reviewed. Narrow the brush and stay in the lines with weights and sales numbers. I don’t need the Porsche experience but it’s a HIT on the $51K I paid thanks in part to the $1K Gravity Gold Matte paint. It’s not for everyone like the N isn’t but unless it gets cheaper and plugs double in abundance with IONNA it’s not going to gain popularity. MISS/HIT: Cybertruck flipping has been going on for while and many have made a fast buck initially. Yes people deep on the waiting list are being called because most aren’t going to kiss $20K for a foundation that can’t keep a lane on autopilot let alone be missing completely the FSD they paid for. Beta testers aren’t being found in abundance. 20:45

4200lbs = 1905kg

My cyber beast is getting delivered next week. An interesting vehicle - and will still be fun for awhile - hard to take your opinions about design taste after what you did to the interior of your GT3…..

I couldn't agree with you more! I wanted to buy a Tesla so I waited for a BMW I4. I liked it, but not it's 10K market adjustment! Now I'm questioning if I should get a hybrid instead?! The market will dictate where cars will go organically, not some government mandate...

Arrivederci SoftTex. I cannot disagree with the decision to jettison the pleather.

How does it compare to the Volvo wagons? Those are much closer in price point than the Audi or Mercedes-Benz.

Tesla is losing money on each cyber truck. They probably are fine right now with decreased sales.. until they get the cost down and figure out another iteration on what people want.

Can’t believe you didn’t mention many people put deposits down on cybertruck with intention of flipping. People are flipping them for a profit and dealers are using them as a prop to get people to stop by. The dealer will pay over value and use it as a loss leader to increase the overall sales. I’m not fan of the cybertruck but the tech is great. Ie 48 volt architecture and steer by wire.

Why is the Supra front and center as you discuss the Lyric so much?

It's the downfall of virtue signalling. People are too broke these days to act on an agenda.
