Because most people didn’t see it as a “masterpiece” and still don’t, and comparing it to Van Gogh is ridiculous.

It looks like ass imo, heavy boy racer modified with a body kit vibes, cost way too much for what you got (it was slow compared to cars that cost half it’s price), and not even the 400 they sold were spoken for at launch unlike every other “super rare exotic”. The only thing it has going for it is sound, which is a shit reason to choose it over the competiton. It’s also a Lexus and the badge is only worth so much to the rich people who would be buying one of them.

The only reason they sell for so much now isn’t because they’re a “masterpiece”, but because rich people who like cars want to be able to say they have one. It’s a car they only made 400 of and it’s a good car, but not nearly worth the money it costs even back at msrp.

Lol this is like the guy the other day who’s post said “The Real Cost of Ev is $17/gallon” or some dumbass shit from some Texas study. I pointed out the “study” was done by the following organization:

Report is by the Texas Public Policy Foundation

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Public_Policy_Foundation

“Projects of the organization include Right on Crime, which is focused on criminal justice reform,[4] and Fueling Freedom, which seeks to “explain the forgotten moral case for fossil fuels”[5] by rejecting the scientific consensus on climate change.[6]”

“Donors to the organization include energy companies Chevron, ExxonMobil, and other fossil fuel interests.”

People are talking shit on EVs non stop. The amount of times I’ve seen people call Teslas and other EVS shitboxes (there’s a guy like 3 comments down saying this) that break non stop and cant even hit 100k miles, or think they burn a house down or catch fire while driving, or they think they only get 180 miles and have to charge for 45 mins before going another 180 is insane. The amount of misinformation is crazy.

Btw, the mods left that article up and just attached the “misleading” tag to it, so you can see where they stand. Mods shouldn’t be letting bullshit “studies” about EVS be posted from a group like the above, but instead they left it up so double digit iq idiots can point to it as another reason to avoid EVS while quoting that article.

I feel like the Mahindra Thar is a super weird choice as a car to import since it’s basically the exact same car looks and use wise as a jeep wrangler except cheaper and not as nice. Other than it being cheaper I just don’t see why you’d want to go through the hassle of importing one vs some actually weird car you never see over here.
