Is the 2024 Rolls Royce Spectre Worth $500k?

The 2024 Rolls Royce Spectre is Rolls-Royce's first electric vehicle, this ultra luxury sports coupe is powered by a 584-horsepower dual-motor electric powertrain and a 266-miles of range. It offers a silent and luxuriant ride, but has some drawbacks in terms of performance and driving range. So is the 2024 Rolls Royce Spectre worth the $500,000 price tag. Lets take a closer look.

The marque’s Ultra-Luxury Electric Super Coupé balances exhilarating intensity with spectacular comfort. Experience the spellbinding feeling of its unmistakable presence and spirited dynamism.

The Spectre is an Ultra-Luxury Electric Super Coupé. Spectre is more than a motor car. It is statement of intent and symbol of our bright, bold future as we progress into an all-electric era. It's the spirit of ecstasy updated. The relentless pursuit of perfection with even the smallest details. This is what Rolls Royce is all about.

Charles Stewart Rolls, one of its founders, believed in the electric car and its perfection. He dreamed of electric cars in 1900, because there is no smell or vibration. Today we see his dream vehicle and take it for a test drive.

#Spectre is a Rolls-Royce first and an electric car second: no concessions or compromises in terms of interior space, comfort, performance or ride quality have been made– indeed, all have been refined and augmented by the car’s underpinning architecture and engineering. No two Spectre clients are exactly alike, customers choose each piece like a piece of art. Its purely #bespoke.

Special Spectre details brand's signature starry-night headliner, the Spectre's door panels rock a similar twinkle with tiny LED lights sparkling in the area surrounding the armrests. Plus an endless array of personalization options and material choices.

Where have you heard the name Spectre? Spectre is a 2015 spy film and the twenty-fourth in the James Bond series. Daniel Craig returns as James Bond in this action-adventure thriller, where he investigates a cryptic message from his past and uncovers the existence of a sinister organisation named SPECTRE.

Price starts at: $422,750, as tested $560k

Tesla Cybertruck Debuts to Cheers and Boos

It’s two years later than intended, but Tesla made its first deliveries of the Cybertruck to retail customers yesterday. Public reaction ranged from cheers to boos. Some people loved it, while most can’t get past the radical styling.

Like Ford’s Lightning and Chevy’s Sliverado EV, pricing for the Cybertruck is coming in significantly higher than initial announcements from the company. The base RWD version will have a starting price of just under $61,000 before destination charges and any incentives. But that truck won’t be available until 2025.

The first versions to launch next year are the AWD model that starts at roughly $80-grand and the Cybertruck, which comes in just shy of $100,000. No word on battery sizes just yet, but the RWD model has an estimated 250 miles of range, will do 0-60 in 6.5 seconds and have the ability to tow up to 7,500 pounds.

AWD bumps range up to 340 miles and towing to 11,000 pounds and drops 0-60 to 4.1 seconds. The 845-horsepower tri-motor Cybertruck has 320 miles of range, will do 0-60 in 2.6 seconds and also has 11,000 pounds of towing capacity.

When Tesla first announced the Cybertruck, it said it would have over 500 miles of range. But in order to get close to that figure, it’s also offering a range extender, which is an additional battery pack that takes up about ⅓ of the Cybertruck’s bed. It’s estimated to boost the range of the AWD model to over 470 miles and the Cybertruck to over 440 miles.

Elon Musk says this is intended for long trips or when towing. One of the most important aspects of the Cybertruck that I think too many people are glossing over is that Tesla switched to a 48-volt system for its power electronics, meaning things like headlights and interior components. A system like this allows you to send a lot more power to those electronics without raising the current, which means you can use much thinner and lighter wiring.

It’s estimated that Tesla could cut the amount of wiring in the Cybertruck by 70%. Another first for the company is bidirectional charging. This includes the ability to send power to your home or another EV, which can also be done through a set of plugs in the bed that put out up to 9.6 kW of power. Rounding out the highlights of the Cybertruck are a new steer-by-wire system and 4WS as well. When trucks finally hitting customer hands we will get more comments.

The Battle Begins: Car Dealers Challenge Biden’s Electric Vehicle Mandate

A coalition of almost 4,000 auto dealers nationwide sent an open letter to President Biden, calling on him to "tap the brakes" on his administration's aggressive electric vehicle (EV) push.

The coalition — which includes dealers located in all 50 states and who collectively sell every major car brand are taking aim at the Biden administration's tailpipe emissions standards released earlier this year. These are the most aggressive federal regulations of their kind ever issued. Under the regulations proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the majority of new vehicle purchases will be electric within a decade.

These dealers wrote in their letter to Biden on Tuesday - QUOTE - "These vehicles are ideal for many people, and we believe their appeal will grow over time... The reality, however, is that electric vehicle demand today is not keeping up with the large influx of BEVs [battery electric vehicles] arriving at our dealerships prompted by the current regulations. BEVs are stacking up on our lots."

"Last year, there was a lot of hope and hype about EVs... Early adopters formed an initial line and were ready to buy these vehicles as soon as we had them to sell. But that enthusiasm has stalled. Today, the supply of unsold BEVs is surging, as they are not selling nearly as fast as they are arriving at our dealerships -- even with deep price cuts, manufacturer incentives, and generous government incentives."

Even used electric vehicles prices, are down almost 34%, according to iSee Cars.

It’s important to note that a few states like Illinois, California, and others, have actually run out of incentive funds to purchase electric vehicles.
