They ponder the floor prices for luxury EVs, such as the Lucid Tyon and Tesla models, questioning when these high-performance machines will hit a price point that levels out the depreciation curve. The team contemplates the reliability of high-mileage EVs and the impact of actual performance on their market value, comparing them to traditional internal combustion vehicles.
Shifting gears, the conversation steers towards the Land Cruiser Heritage market report, highlighting the enduring appeal of the final 200 series Land Cruisers.
