TIA
We are currently seeing the tip of the iceberg on upcoming massive price drops across the board, both for EVs and internal combustion cars and trucks. Demand for all has dropped to historic lows because of greedy pricing by manufacturers/dealers combined with high interest rates, tightened lending standards, and upside down trade-ins. Lots are overflowing nationwide, with even some new 2022 models still unsold. When the tipping point is reached in the next 6 months or so, 5 figure discounts off sticker will become the norm as dealers scramble to offload inventory in a buyer's market. Many dealers are facing bankruptcy as we speak unless drastic measures are taken to move cars that are costing them huge amounts in floorplan interest costs. It's time for them to pay the piper for the easy money they made during the pandemic.
Oh and I forgot to mention the underhanded, dishonest tactics and ridiculous add-ons from dealers. All of this combined has made the average car buyer detest the current "dealership experience". I'd love to go buy a new truck, but currently there is no way I'd set foot on a dealership lot with all of the above in mind. They can keep their $80,000 trucks; I'm not interested.
- have a charger in garage
- commute to work
Many people are missing by the term "fast charging". There's isn't such thing. There's is slow charging and VERY slow charging. As such, if you can't charge overnight in your own garage, it's not gonna be fun. If you wanna charge it on long trips, it will not be fun. Use it for daily commute, and that's it
All that said, they may have fixed this but certainly look into it if anyone is considering this vehicle.

How fragile the ICE-only guys are...
I have always been a car guy. I am not environment focused (I care, but enjoy my creature comforts) and EV's are great.
I rented a model Y for a week in Utah and had nowhere to plug in at my air bnb, so I had to rely on slow blink chargers and honestly, it wasn't that big of a deal.
Saying someone is an idiot for driving or wanting a EV is more about identity than reality.
A common theme is that their smooth brains can't grasp that most owners really will not be waiting around to charge your vehicle but a few times a year on a road trip.
95% of the time, you'll just plug your car in like you do your cellphone at night and you come back to an 80% charged vehicle everyday.
You cut the gas station out of your life.
We need fast charging and solid state batteries and all of that advancement, but what we have now is already more practical for most drivers.
Don't believe me, turo one for a week. You'll be shocked how easy it is to adjust your thinking and habits.
Don't tie your identity to combustion, it will eventually blow up in for face...
That would be especially good if you don't need it daily — you could use slower level 1 charging in your garage (ie the regular home outlet plug). No need to get an appliance (level 2) plug installed.
Even folks who drive daily can usually make do on level 1 (120v) outlets. I drove 18,000 miles a year on my Tesla P90D (average consumption about 375wh/m) and did it on a 120v 20amp outlet, which is an outlet most people have and not even realize it. Its the regular plug but with that horizontal dash on it, meaning it can take both a "regular" 15amp (nema 5-15) plug and 20amp (nema 5-20) plug. The latter plug lets you pull 1920watts from the wall instead of the usual 1500watts.
If you drive an average amount of miles a year (12,000) you can easily make do on just the "normal" 15amp outlet. Say you are parked 10 hours a day, charging at 1500 watts, thats good for an average of 40 miles driven a day (at 375wh/m which is rather inefficient by today's standards) which equate to to about 14,500 miles driven a year. Its all a game of averages. Hell if you have a more efficient car than my P90D, like a model 3 which can average under 200wh/m, you can drive over 27k miles a year on a "normal" plug. People really underestimate how far they can drive an EV just a regular outlet.
