So space I don’t care about. For a bolt - if I can get 2-3k off MSRP on a base with 500 incentive 7500 credit and possibly CVRP I think for sub 20k it may make sense to drive a few years and then pass along, though with interest rates being high maybe not…
I have had 3 bolts and totally fine with them and kind of like the EUV even.
I don’t know. The Bolt was a great option when you can get one for $5k one pay and there weren’t a lot of other options, but almost every single EV is leasing better than the Bolt. Purchase wise, I would just pay a little more for the Model 3 which qualifies for the same incentives but is much better in every single way.
Model 3 base is like 10k more I think? Maybe I’m missing something…
If you qualify for these two, then Model 3 would cost you like $25k.
But didn’t CVRP exhaust their money?
If you can’t get CVRP, then maybe leasing an Ionic 5 or 6, ID4, etc could be a better option with a one pay lease and possibly targeting effective $300/month. Even if you get $350/month, it is not a bad deal given the current market.
Ioniqs have gone up , so the ID4 is probably the best bet.
Idk anything about the Hummer but my neighbor has been looking for one. What is the year, options, and location?
I have a 24 in Cali and 23 in the Midwest. Text me if interested and I can send build sheets

Yeah, $10k gets you so much more. I don’t understand why anyone would buy a Bolt when you can get a Model 3 for only $10k more. I’m happy leasing. If they still had the $5k one pay lease deals, I would get one for my dog so I don’t track dog hair in my Ioniq.
anyone have experience with the hybrids from Honda? finally got the cr-v hybrid deal wrapped up and they took it out for a drive. when you put it in reverse it sounds like you’re trying to summon an eldritch horror. its extremely weird.
Hyundai must be next levels of stupid to cut discounts. No one is going to buy their electric cars without proper discounts. They already saw this happen and the only way they could get these cars sold was to get proper discounts on them. Combined with their out of the world dealers, I’m sure this will be perfectly fine.
Sounds to me like they’re managing production flow by introducing and retracting rebates.
It’s actually quite standard and accepted practice to do just this.
because buying a car is not always a purely financial decision. I know this is lease hacker and the goal is to squeeze every penny out of a stone, but sometimes a car is just not a good fit regardless of how cheap you can get it.
Generally speaking any EV with over 200 miles range will be aquetate for 80 to 90% of consumers for day to day use, yes probably want Level 2 charging at home. If you’re worried about road trips 2 or 3 times a year, just rent an ICE car. They are installing Level 2 chargers at my work, so it was a no brainer to go out and find a cheap EV lease(anything under $400/mo is cheap in this market), helps that Colorado is throwing $5k free money towards EV’s
I keep saying this too. In fact… if someone can do a really cheap 100mi car that could suffice (but then you get into diminishing returns).
We had 2 EVs that we L1 charge overnight… and now it’s 2 EVs and a PHEV but we use the free EA charging for the other EV.
Probably upgrade to an L2 when (if) we do solar.
Recently did a range test on an i7 50e and have to say I’m not unimpressed considering the car we borrowed was not optimized for range past pumping the tires up to 46 across the board. It also featured a less efficient set of wheels so that’s a factor.
240 miles on 2/3 of the battery.
Perhaps we may order one for the IAC Fleet!
Yeah the i7 is way better than the EQS… I feel like Mercedes needs to revisit what they consider top-end Sonderklasse. Especially that mega TV in the back lol.
And with the new loyalty leases they’re quite attainable for someone who wants a quality product that feels how it spends. The massage function (essential) are quite effective for those long hauls and the seats very supportive.
The jury is out on the theatre screen personally (I’d much rather have a secondary passenger side display like on the Taycan) but if you’ve got an extra $75/month to throw at it you might as well pick it up as a flagship feature.
It’s just too bad the i7 and the EQS look so damn ugly lol.
Hit me up if you think the i7 is trending like the EQS 450 sedans where a nicely optioned (non-strippo-loaner) 13 month lease can be $2k DAS with $650 after-tax monthlies.
If BMW ever does grey magno paint, I’m sold hah.
You really can’t compare the EQS to the i7 on anything but range TBH.
As for those kinds of terms, I don’t think we’ll be there for a while short of them offering a small battery option in a 40/45e trim.
