I have a feeling that there will be so much change happening in the automotive industry over the next 5 years that buying something right now seems like bad timing.

For me buying something right now would be bad timing anyway and I'm hoping to make my current vehicle last long enough to have my mortgage paid off before I start thinking about a new car. Still, I think things are changing in a big way as Ford and GM are becoming serious about electric, and Volkswagen and Hyundai and others are already bringing out more electric models. I think electric vehicles have hit critical mass and it's going to snowball from here on. I'm very interested to see what kinds of things will be available in 5 years.

There is one thing that's standing in the way of EV's trajectory.  All the apartments and condos built prior to 2015 have no capacity for them so it rules out a good segment of the population, and unfortunately, of the demographic that would want an EV.

ETA - Kia is coming up with a fast-charge, long range EV6 which you can charge once a week or two.  Something like that would be a game changer for the condo dwellers but the price range will be 55-70K from what I've read.
