What a novel concept! Automakers are finally catching on that electric vehicles might just be the future? Who knew? And let’s not forget the depreciation – it’s not just for houses anymore! It’s like giving away a ‘brand-new’ model on the second day. Tesla, Hyundai, and BMW? Must be their secret ingredient for longevity.

Speaking of which, have you seen the depreciation rates? They make even the most reliable ICE vehicles look like they’re on a diet.
