Can you feel it drop? My setup isn't anything like this but it drops at 68MPH and I always notice it, it's kind of neat.

 

The fear and concern is real tho my friend, nobody who is in the market for used and living on a budget want's to unluckily get stuck with the car that needs a new battery at 205k. Lol

At which point the car may be totalled but I'm not 100% sure on that, just speculating.

 

There have already been tons of data published that Tesla Model S and X with the older battery packs can go 300k and beyond. My boss who has a 2017 Model X is probably around 130k, 85 percent battery.

By the time my Y reaches 100k, it will probably be 9 or 10 years, by then I'll most likely be retired and moved on to my next car, which will quite frankly, probably be my last

 

I can't feel it drop but I can tell that my sightline is lower and it feels like I'm sitting lower to the ground. It's also noticeable when passing other cars because in normal ride height it feels like I'm sitting up higher than most cars but when it's lowered it feels like I'm the same height or lower, which adds to the more sport sedan feel.

 

Anybody buying a car at 200k miles is taking a massive gamble.

It really is amazing isn't it? The faster you drive the better it feels. All MBs with air suspension exhibit the behavior you outlined.

I have found in my car, sometimes on a long road trip I will put it in Sport, in my car it doesnt lower AGAIN in Sport after 75 MPH, it holds the same ride height. I find in Sport the car is more solid and doesn't waft around as much. On a long road trip I will use Sport suspension mode (in Individual, Sport Engine, Suspension and Comfort steering and ESP) especially if its a good smooth road.

 

Do not try this at home!

Keeping it plugged in? Preconditioning?

They must have some pretty powerful toasters out there

 

The outlets are all different overseas, FWIW.

Dumb people all over the world, not just here lol.

 

Why not hold on to it like your Sienna?

 

That story doesn't add up, toaster has a heat dependent timer or possibly an electronic one either way it won't stay hot for more than 2-3 minutes.

 

I may just do that. I tend to hold on to cars for at least 10 years. The things is, in 10 years the battery tech will probably be totally evolved. I can imagine a battery half the size with twice the density with quick charging. Right now our Ioniq 5 can do 10 percent to 80 percent in 18 minutes, I can see that cut in half. On the other hand, I'll be 66 in ten years. Ugh

 

Doesn't add up to me as well. If it was able to burn down an EV, would you want to put toast in that thing? And aren't they on timers? Kind of fishy sounding to me. I've read a lot of BS from Jalopnik, who seem to have a hardon when it comes to being anti EV

 

66..that’s still young. This past weekend I met a 66yr young gentleman at the race track driving a Rush SR. He’s still having a blast.

 

I certainly hope so, as 10 years is just right around the corner.....

 

The future has arrived
