    • I am looking for a good starter car and am thinking of a 2009 Buick Lucerne super. Is that a good starter car? if not, any suggestions?
    • Took a look at the details in the recommended setup from PSE (Puget Sound Energy) and they say the typical house uses 20 to 40 kW over night and then having a battery pack equal too plus 10% for EV charging. PSE is recommending a 150 kW battery pack of storage so that I would not pull from the grid. Tesla FAILURE, Promise, Promise, Promise, and never deliver. Roadster 2.0 with huge deposits and still no car. Tesla promised a Roadster with 0 - 60mph in 2.4 seconds. BYD, sexy as hell as they deliver this roadster sexy monster! 0-60mph under 2 seconds. BYD Denza Z: 1000hp electric hypercar convertible unveiled
    • The 2009 Buick Lucerne is an absolute SLEEPER car, but $18,000 is a bit much. A better price for one of those bad boys is about $3,500-$9,000. The super is also a MUCH better package as it has everything a cxl has, but with a 290 hp v8
    • It sounds like it all depends how big the storage is and how much you need to charge. It is possible you wouldn't have to pull from the grid though.
    • I'm 14 and looking for a good year round car to drive that still has potential to go sideways when I floor it. I'm thinking something like a 2009 Buick lucerne super that I can turn into my own little project car. Does that sound like a good starter car? If not, any suggestions?
