Today on Doug DeMuro, Kenan and Felipe engage in a riveting discussion about the unpredictable world of EV depreciation. 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.

They marvel at the used bargains available in the Macan market, particularly the early turbo models that offer a compelling blend of performance and practicality. Kenan and Felipe express their admiration for the Macan's design and driving dynamics, comparing it to other iconic Porsche models they've experienced, adding a touch of automotive nostalgia to their spirited conversation.
