Car Advice

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I am thinking of a new vehicle.

I am thing medium-sized SUV or a nice saloon.

Can anyone make a case for buying domestic on the sedan?

Jeep Cherokee served my family of four quite well as a medium-sized SUV. Smooth ride, enough cargo space, good in winter, affordable. Got mine used. Only had to get rid of it because the family got bigger and you can't fit three car seats in it.

I love my smallish SUV, and I cant think of a domestic sedan or saloon left I would take.

I got a Hyundai Tucson, get about 26 MPH mixed, nice room for the kids, I have used it to haul stuff a couple times now, and really do like the car.

I know as ex military you are a bit more manly than I am, but personally I don't mind driving a chick car, lol.

Did you forget about the roof rack?

Teslas are the safest cars on the road.

In the 1st quarter, we registered one accident for every 2.87 million miles driven in which drivers had Autopilot engaged. For those driving without Autopilot, we registered one accident for every 1.76 million miles driven. By comparison, NHTSA’s most recent data shows that in the United States there is an automobile crash every 436,000 miles

With more and more of the latest generation buying not homes, and thus not having a garage, how exactly are people expected to recharge their Teslas? I myself would be interested if they become anything other than a luxury car but I have no way to charge it. Do i just move close to a Sheetz?

THIS IS AMERICA!

But really; buying a car, tried and true, buy what you feel comfortable in based off of your test drive and research.

You'll get a lot of people who say things like, ____ makes a shit car, etc. In reality, the quality of your vehicle is going to be largely rooted in how you maintain it.

you can plug into regular outlet and add 5 miles of range per hour of charging. So if you plug it in 12 hours/day, 7 days/week, that's 420 miles of range.

Can also charge at the many Tesla chargers all over the country, including 13k superchargers

And the car comes with an adapter to charge on non tesla chargers.

But who is able to park near an outlet if you don't have a garage?
