This is great if you want to set yourself up with a FDRS system like I did. I've sold my MME so it's time to find a new home.
Comes in original box. Photos below...
I just traded in my MME for an Ioniq 6 SEL yesterday, so it didn't trouble me too much. More a commentary on how the EV manufacturers are all still figuring this all out.
I am hoping the fact I renewed for the $600 deal will increase its resale value when I trade it in soon. Because of some new travel distance requirements, I need to get something with better range options than what my Select offers.

Hopefully by the time kids are driving, recharge times on the road requiring the driver to actively do something will be equivalent to what pumping gas is today. Most level-headed people don't deny EVs will become the norm, they just bicker about the timeline.
I really wish there was an external indicator that a Tesla was in FSD mode. As a rule I will generally avoid being near them on the road if at all possible. I do not want to be involved in their multi-ton beta testing.
I believe they are talking about hybrids, which I know many people personally who are planning to buy as their next vehicle type. Too much anxiety (warranted or not) about range and fuel availability/charging time on the road is a major, major factor in their decisions.
That's a really good point, and I agree with it.
The Cybertruck is definitely the CEO's folly, has distracted the company image, and definitely seems out of place with what would have been the ongoing march to bring EVs to the masses.
Lots of wariness out there about vehicle range, charging infrastructure for road trips, and massive losses of resale value exacerbated by price cuts.
I don't regret buying an EV personally, but there are definitely aspects (such as drop in value) that I didn't properly account for.
