That’s just new cars, drivetrain be damned

That’s true, which is why I’ve become less keen on new cars in general.

Right!? Our last ‘new’ car was a used one for $15,000 that we financed through our credit union. The payments were the most we felt we could comfortably handle. We’d love to get an electric, so hopefully we can find a decent used one when the time comes.

Used ones can be really cheap at this point.
