Tesla is no longer delivering new cars with charging cables

I wouldn't go that far, they are decent starter cars that last forever. My first Toyota was a 1995 Corolla LE with a 5 speed Manual...maybe that's why yours didn't drive well, Corollas have horrible automatic transmissions. Anyway, my Corolla was passed down and finally put to rest in 2016 when my nephew traded it in for a Prius plugin. Had over 200K and was still running strong. Body was not doing well though

I haven't test driven the new ones but the one we had was a rental due to a small fender bender on my wifes car and they gave us a Corolla for a week. Hated it and couldn't wait to get out of it. The Mazda 3 we have drove much much better. Its obvious the people that blast the Model 3 haven't even driven it.

Thats a different beast. That thing looks like it would be a fun little hatchback. I hope it sells out so it encourages Toyota to bring more fun stuff.

I could see it in my yard as a weekend car, but I would have to hide it and sneak out with it because my neighbors would think I was having a crisis. I hope it sells good as well

well if you think corolla is garbage you would be surprised if you something like a doge avenger.

l earned to drive on a 1970s corolla with a stick. It was such a fun car. my dad onwed it for like 30 years and it still worked when he upgraded. I dont know if any new car especially a Tesla can last that long

To get back on topic, the Tesla mobile connector that came with the car is better than most of the other manufacturers. It has the ability to do 110V or 240V and is pretty rugged with many adapters (can do dryer plugs, electric ranges, etc...). The Ioniq 5 one that comes with the car is junk. Only does 110V so only capable of 5 miles per hour of charge.

Not really. Like I said, put a 4 cylinder in the 3 and it's a direct competitor. That's why I said glorified. Just a 4 door sedan econobox with electric drivetrain, except the Corolla is probably better built.

So if I put a 4 cylinder in my IS350 that also makes it a glorified Corolla and direct competitor? Oh, you really, really lost me there....

It's not about need for sure. It's about convenience and if I'm to charge my car everyday for the next 5-8 years, $500 is a pittance to any level of increased convenience.
Also turns out that the increased cable length of the Wall Charger allows me to get another EV and not have to move my car. Bonus
