Mach-E was my first choice, but again I would have to deal with a dealership. I had a horrible experience FRAUDSHIPS in search for an ICE/Plugin hybrid, and stories that I read online made me decide otherwise. These dealerships are turning away from people to buy non-ev vehicles.

My friend was very upset after learning that the dealership charged him 7500 markup 2023 Toyota Highlander hybrid for $65000.

My colleague leased a Hyundai Santa Fe and they added 5000 to the lease if she wants to buy at the end of the term.
I should have added this to my post as well...

A lot of Hyundai dealers were asking 5-10k "Dealership fees" for their Ionic which also helped make the decision for us.

Tesla buying process was really smooth. We locked in the price when we paid the deposit and paid what we locked in the price at months earlier.

There are no options other than FSD to buy. There is no one breathing down your neck to buy paint protection and other gimmicks.

There are no games being played with the loan person at the dealership.

If you decide to finance through Tesla, everything is quick and online and clear as daylight to see.

We would have gone with Tesla finance but at the time we were able to secure a 72 month 1% loan from our credit union which is pretty much free money. Even this process was smooth and all online with Tesla.

You can literally complete all the paperwork for car payment and loan etc in a few hours or less and then go and pick your car up.

Not having to deal with the dealership is amazing.

It's been like this for the past couple of years. Just about all car dealerships add anywhere from 5 to $10,000 to the sticker price of most cars.
Don't buy a car now unless you really need to not want to!

If they called the bolt a "Model 2" and had a Tesla badge they'd sell millions per year.

In my case, I was a little too late to reserve Model Y. My delivery date was April-May. Then my friend wanted to cancel his reservation. He reserved the night Tesla reduced the price for the first time. So I asked him to assign it to me. He discussed with his family and decided to keep it. 10 days later, he called me and said we decided not to buy it. So, that Saturday I went with my friend and within 5 minutes they assigned his VIN for me and took the delivery of the Y a week later. All the customer service was so smooth, stress free, straight forward, and NOT SCAMMING people.

I took the Tesla loan initially, but a local credit union approved 2% rate. So re-financed thru the credit union. Not bad at all.

I don't even understand. Dealership lots are filling up now. They're just pulling this crap because they can. Imagine if most people could tell them to kiss their butts and just take the bus or train. They wouldn't be able to get away with this.

I cannot speak for Fisker but I have driven the Rivian and have a friend who owns one.

Rivian is a very good but I decided against it for two reasons:

1) Lack of access to Tesla supercharger. My friend always has range anxiety because of how crappy non tesla charging network is. He keeps hoping tesla opens it chargers to others but Tesla is only planning on opening about 5% of its chargers to non Teslas. Also non Teslas will be paying a lot more to charge their EVs at Tesla superchargers. Tesla is basically going to give limited access to their superchargers to non Tesla owners to let them know what they are missing out on.

2) Rivians are inefficient. They rip through kwh. Which makes concern 1 even more of a concern.

If lack of superchargers and inefficiency wasnt an issue with Rivian, we would have owned one.
Umm but tesla is releasing their supercharging to all other vehicles.

If you read the reddit askcarsales sub you can already see the heat. If the dealership is still doing anything above MSRP you have a good chance to buy at MSRP at another dealer an hour away.

Tesla nickels and dimes you. You have to pay for mobile charger, charger installation, non-refundable order fee, extra delivery fee, etc. It adds up. Chevy doesn't make you pay for any of that.
The same could be said of CHEVY STEALERSHIP. $5k markup on bolt and a slew of BS fees.

You think you have it all figured out, but your facts just ain't true. Tesla has been expanding their supercharger stations all across the U.S. - not just in Ardmore, Oklahoma. California may have its flaws but it's still a great place to live. And the Mexican restaurant that became a Chipotle? That's just the way of the world - it's called progress. But don't worry, there are still plenty of great Mexican restaurants around. And don't forget, California is a leader in the EV movement. So don't knock it 'til you try it - EV's are the future!

Quote from takoma20 View quoted comment :
That same Tesla that can't even expand their supercharger stations in Ardmore, Oklahoma off I-35 after 10 years? LOL.

Also, California has NEVER been a litmus test for anyone. It is a state full of affluent, artsy environmentalist wackos, liberal when it suits them. It's a HORRIBLE state. Once upon a time, it used to be a lovely place to live. Went in the nineties to San Diego, it was just gorgeous. Went back in the 2010's, it was horrible. Middle class communities and restaurants in certain parts bulldozed and gone, replaced by multi-million dollar housing and restaurants for the rich. Vibrant communities replaced with $24 parking or GTFO. A great Mexican restaurant I went to basically became a Chipotle, ROFLMAO. Los Angeles is seriously dystopian, security guards and cops everywhere, people stealing left and right, homeless everywhere.

"Let's all go EV by 2035 guys but screw you if you need a place to live and aren't a millionaire!"

I'm supposed to take these people seriously?

I have to respectfully disagree with your statement. It's not accurate to generalize an entire group of people based on their political beliefs. Just because someone identifies as left-leaning doesn't automatically make them incapable of having a reasonable discussion or admitting when they're wrong. I believe that open and honest communication is key to understanding different perspectives and finding common ground. I'm not sure what you mean by "the whole water thing over there." Can you clarify? And as for electric vehicles and heat pump water heaters, I think it's important to embrace new technologies and make progress towards a more sustainable future. It's not "nonsense" to prioritize the health of our planet and future generations.

Quote from CyanCorn8418 View quoted comment :
Hey man, I think you've been 100% correct on every point you've made.

I think you've learned like myself, you can't argue with left state people. They will insist on their correctness to the point they know they are wrong and will ultimately know their wrongness and cry a river about it and get bailed out eventually. Then they'll continue the downward spiral they've been in because their whole existence is inflated to begin with. Let's not even get into the whole water thing over there... They are lucky to exist in the first place with what they have, it's going to catch up to them eventually.

The EV nonsense might be what finally breaks the camel's back but watch, it'll be something super stupid like heat pump water heaters instead.

Agreed. Dealers that mark up over MSRP or force buyers to buy packages and add-ons are money grubbers. Elon hasn't done everything right, but eliminating dealers from the equation is a win in almost every way.

You really need to get with the times and stop living in the past. The Bay Area has flourished since Newsom and Bonta have been in office, and crime is down significantly. The commercial RE vacancy rate is nowhere near 40%, and Coldwell Banker has been proven wrong on their assessment of The City. And if Nancy and her husband are moving, it's likely because they've made a fortune off of their investments in the Bay Area, and now they're ready to move on to the next venture. So, you need to stop spreading false information and accept the fact that the Bay Area is thriving.

Quote from norcal007 View quoted comment :
Guess you have not visited the Bay Area or SF as we have a very serious mess here. Companies left and leaving. Crime in Oakland/SF is off the chart. Look at the recent murders. Very sad and so predictible with Newsom and Bonta letting the thugs free to steal, loot, car jack, etc. Commercial RE is expected to hit 40% vacancy by years end and Coldwell Banker says The City is now at 34%. Dems opened the door wide for the Trumpster. Even Nancy and hubby are moving as I saw a RE for sale sign on their house in Pac Heights.

If I made $300K a year, I'd buy a Tesla for kicks. As my sole vehicle, that's suicidal. It's a freaking golf cart.

What a load of nonsense! It's clear that this person has no idea what they're talking about. First of all, electric vehicles are not a scam and there is no evidence to suggest that the person pushing for them is a liar. In fact, many EV drivers have done extensive research and are very knowledgeable about the technology.the idea that wars could be fought over lithium and cobalt is equally absurd.this person's claims are unfounded and based on misinformation. EV technology is here to stay, and those who embrace it will be the ones who benefit in the long run.






Quote from takoma20 View quoted comment :
Doesn't help that one of the biggest scam artists of all time is pushing for EVs. He's been outed as a liar over and over again. He's made promises that are never kept, hires an army of shills to lie on the internet. My favorite one is that electric cars will put mechanics out of work. That's great. Only a 12-year-old that's never driven could believe that. One of his guys tried to claim "no wars would ever be fought over lithium and cobalt", ROFLMAO. Another guy on here was literally using chatGPT for his counterarguments against me on here. I'd always suspected people were hired to shill online, that they were using information provided by the company to respond, but now they're apparently using chatGPT, which is wild. I'm guessing some people lost their jobs for that experiment.

And I'm not someone that hates new technology or couldn't be bothered to learn about them. I've done the research, watched several Youtube videos with EV drivers...I don't know why anyone would touch this. Really and truly.

Most EV drivers, when talking to each other, admit the flaws the cars have and are either rich enough to have gas cars so they can ignore it or put up with driving it long distance to prove a point. Dirty Tesla on Youtube comes to mind. Hate that guy.
