Need some advice as to what to do with potential Bolt equity. I swapped a few months ago, and am really not happy with the EUV. I also think it will loose value like crazy in the next year or two. I checked online today, and it looks like I have about 12k in equity at the moment. If I were to sell i…

[image] johandkoh: I don’t think I’ll owe more than 10k in taxes this year, so another tax credit would not fully apply Seems like a Tesla or Toyota EV/PHEV would be the first to come to mind. Do you not like them? My concerns with Polestar would be value retention. In 3-4 years I’d expect t…

Interesting! What are your reasons behind your Polestar assessment? Not a big fan of Teslas and I’d like to stick with fully EV rather than PHEV. Volvo XC40 ReCharge maybe? - though I heard horrible things about their software. If I could choose any car, it would probably be an EV6. But Kia doesn…

The only EV’s that are passing the $7500 along are the Chryslers and Older EVs like the Niro or the XC40 Recharge. If that’s what you are looking for, well a Jeep 4xE is in your future…lol I don’t think the Polestar is passing it along.

Put the profits in ethereum (or other investment of your choice) and get the cheapest car that gets the job done for you. This is not an economy to spread your smart dollars thin on an upgrade.

Toyota BZ4x maybe? The full $7,500 credit is around until 9/30/22 IIRC and then it’s $3,750 for the next one (two?) calendar quarters. Polestar is just a dud in the US market, mainly because of the price and the shape. The small segment of EV buyers who want a sports sedan go for the Tesla 3, and t…

“Small segment of EV buyer who want a sports sedan go for the Tesla 3” The Tesla 3 outsells every other non-Tesla EV combined…how is that a small segment? I bought a 3…never considered a sports sedan like a 3 series or A4. Nor do most owners I’ve talked with.

VW has $7,500 in lease cash on ID.4. The money factor is horrible, but perhaps you can buy it out early and finance with alternative means. Downside is the wait will likely be 6+ months. They only started production in Chattanooga, USA, recently. I do agree that Bolt values (and therefore your equi…

Couple of dealers around me gave me a year eta on id4. Hopefully Chattanooga reduces that time frame soon.

Thanks! Maybe the thing to do is to take Bolt equity now, and get a cheap “bridge car” to get me to next year, then order EV6 (or other with tax credit) in early 2023. I haven’t looked into ICE leases in a while, but maybe there’s a Forte / Civic / Elantra to be had in the $300/month range that is …

Polestar is passing 5k along according to their website.
