Does anyone, EV fans have any idea what those cars are that I posted? I hate that I couldn't follow them off the exit bc I wanted to see why they were stopping. But I was 3 lanes over.

It seems clear to me that they are Lyriqs.

Yep. They were cleverly covered up. My first thought was some Cadillac.

The Polestar 3 looks to be pretty similar in size.
What would you choose?

I would go with the Polestar.

Lyriq Dimensions: 197″ L x 78″ W x 64″ H
Polestar 3 N/A yet

Saw a Tesla today with some curb rash on a rim, it is very noticeable when the rims are black.

I was walking out of the hardware store and an LS500 parked next to me, she gave me a sec to get into my truck. The cooling fan on that LS was crazy, crazy loud. By the sounds of it, I doubt engine heat is a major problem.

That's disappointing. At one time Lexus went with a severely over designed but great hydraulic fan system is was infinitely variable and yes quiet. Also no vibration.

Yeah that curb rash looks bad, I would get that took care of if it was my car.

Also, driving around on tires with minimal tread is a saftey risk to oneself and others too.

As long as the engine noise is appropriately muted on the inside I don't really care. I've had a few vehicles over the years that sounded like F18 fighter jets outside on a really hot day with the fans running.

I would be embarrassed to drive a flagship model and have it sound like a Hyundai Pony.

I had a Ford E350 with 6.0 diesel, the fans in that thing must've been the same as the ones used on 18 wheeler engines, louder than the engine itself.
