Best thing for kids these days is to find something you enjoy doing, work hard and more importantly smart and continue to learn. And by enjoy I don’t mean your hobbies necessarily because work can ruin a hobby for you. More something that interests you.
I know that 75k number seems low for some (depends where you live as well), but I think too many people make more money and hate their jobs.
Sometimes more money means you buy more shit you don’t really need.
But back on topic. I think it’s simple. If you need a car the Gen 2 or Gen 1 will work out just fine. The essence is very similar and the Gen 2 is more refined and improved in stock form, particularly power.

75k a year lets you get a gen 2, so there's that. But it doesn't get you a condo with a stellar ocean view in a Maui resort.
