I hope it will be a Lexus again. We need you here.

My guess is a BMW. m340i or M3 perhaps, maybe even a 5 series? Though I have seen you rave about the 300h and previous hybrids, so....i4 M50. You've made the jump to EV. Final answer.

I almost cried when I turned my LS430 lease in. I still think about that car at least once a week nearly two decades later.

Im going with you getting a Tesla S?

Good guesses. Tesla Model Y long range! I was a skeptic until I saw one and drove one in person. it was nicer than i expected. It won't have Lexus build quality but looking forward to the car as an overall technology package. Love all the cameras and stuff.

Good luck - we will miss your company for sure.

That's too bad, you got sucked in. Tesla the cars are a hoot, the company blows though. Good luck if you need service. You got a California Camry, you're going to have trouble finding your car in a parking lot now, especially if it's white... let's see what else I have LOL!!

HD radar is coming back to Teslas soon, there is currently no parking sensors, I would definitely avoid a Tesla until these two things are in the car (HD radar was supposed to be installed by now so your car may have it already but not active??).

As a two-time Model S owner, R.I.P. quality. No offence, but a BMW would have been more of an upgrade than a Tesla. The latest JD Power numbers just came out today:

Hope you love it, the performance to price ratio is pretty great. I was tempted but the siren song of the ESh was too powerful to resist.

I have my eye on a Taycan as a reward if business is good in 2023, but that’s going to take a pretty good year!

Yeah, I feel people who are buying Teslas these days don't really understand what they're getting into or didn't really look into other options. 5 years ago, sure. But in 2023, idk. You're just setting yourself up for trouble.

I already knew it was Tesla before I read your post. I hope you have a good experience with them 😊 Are you gonna lease it?

Check out the fart feature. The quantity of cameras always "gets em."
