There's a cheat code out there right now: Toyota bz4x. At full price, they're not a very good option. There's plenty with better range and charge time. They also fucked up some of the features, like one pedal driving.

However, first year depreciation is hitting them hard, and then they look much better. So much off that the downsides can be overlooked.

Haha, those things are like 15k off. I wonder what the hell happened there?

Bad range, bad charge time, a bunch of little things that aren't up to snuff. Toyota didn't half-ass it as much as the Mazda CX-30 (which should go on the Wikipedia page for "Minimal Effort"), but it's not great.

Once depreciation hits, though, it's suddenly looking good.

That's just hilarious. Enshittification really is coming for cars.
