Mazda’s 6-speed automatics have enjoyed pretty legendary reliability, if your Mazda is new enough to have it. Can’t remember the year cutoff.

I have autopay on the mortgage but I STILL choose to get mailed a paper statement every month. I like looking at the paper. I like seeing a six figure principal balance go down $700 every month. My second bank recently notified me that they won't mail paper statements anymore, lol Edited September 14, 2023 by That One Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a long time at all. Get that down to 50K and I'm interested. Maybe. Because charging availability on the road, and charging times still aren't there yet. LIke, If I'm going to drive 600 miles on a vacation trip, that's what, 2 charges minimum? How long does each take, and how vulnerable am I sitting in some place for like an hour with few options for alternatives. I drive A LOT, and getting stuck somewhere is my biggest fear. The tech and prices have to get better before the average person will buy into this promising stuff. I'm going to try to squeeze as much life out of my current 3 year old ride as I can.... and in 5 years look to get a hybrid. To be fair, that's 90 grand for a sedan that is nearly the fastest vehicle of any type on the planet, backed by an 8 year warranty. Remember that few gasoline cars carry a powertrain warranty longer than 5yr/60k miles. They sell a 75k version that isn't so hyper fast. They sell smaller vehicles that are cheaper, like the $42k Model 3. The Model S has about a 400 mile EPA range. EVs are most efficient at lower speeds. If you're hauling ass on 85mph road trips, you won't get 400 miles, and you can't really do a 2% to 100% charge (trickle charging from 90 to 100% is slow). Generally road trip charging from 10% to 80% is the fastest way. Most newer EVs get about 200-250 miles in that 70% of the battery, and it would take 20-40 minutes if the charger can pump out enough power, depending on the EV. This is all to say that EV road tripping has gotten solid, totally doable for the typical person--but no, not good enough for those that road trip constantly, or have very frequent 400+ mile driving days like yourself. Hyper roadtrippers are a fringe population that will be served last in the EV revolution. But it is getting better every year. Price wars have started happening but more attractive prices still need another year or two. If you factor in the federal tax credit, a Model 3 is cheaper than a comparably equipped Camry. Same story with the F-150 Lightning vs gas. There's a lot of good hybrids on the market now, you will be well-served on your next purchase. Toyota 4x4's are going hybrid and I'm fairly excited for that. They estimate that the new Land Cruiser may get an EPA rating of 27mpg combined. My 2023 4Runner with a big old (and I mean OLD) V6 is EPA rated 17mpg. Edited September 14, 2023 by That One Guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That One Guy Posted September 14, 2023 Author Share Posted September 14, 2023 Haven't spun Presto in years. Immediately takes me back to 2012 me exploring offroad alone in my 1987 4Runner for a couple weeks. Presto was frequently playing during that personal odyssey.

Riiiiiight. Yeah I don't care about the context. It's an armed public servant on duty, supposedly expected to operate at a professional level, finding it hilarious that his fellow officer drove 74mph through an urban intersection and murdered some woman in the process. Yeah dude, super duper funny, joke about it on the clock while you're driving the same vehicle. If I publicly laughed and joked about a person getting killed by a civil engineering project that had structurally failed, I would be risking my licensure for unprofessional conduct.
