Based on how I read the article the $47k price is for a base fwd 2lt model, coming in 2024. So the Tesla is less expensive when comparing what they are calling highly contented “Launch Editions”. The Model Y seems to maintain a price advantage with its standard AWD, but it doesn’t seem that chevy has abandoned the…

Yeah, I feel the Aryia vs Rouge is like someone looking at an Acura complaining it’s more expensive than a Honda (maybe not the best comparison but still).

So you are a credit customer?

Isn’t that a bit misleading? Considering a model Y starts at 47k same as the 2lt Blazer listed? As well Chevy seems to still be offering a 1lt model later let alone the Equinox EV that should be had for cheaper. Competition from super cheap Chinese brands seem like an interesting development, what kind of parallels to…

Jeep: We have traditionally been popular with a lower tier credit customer so to increase sales we are raising prices…by a lot.

Heard that Ford slashed Mach-E prices/was giving good incentives and that dealers had unmoving inventory that they were keen to move. Looked at my local dealer website and saw they have 6-8 Mach-E. 3 were GT models for 67-70k and the rest didn’t reach below 45k. I laughed and noped so hard I didn’t even look at…

If I remember correctly, the current production facility is slated for the new Ultium battery vehicles. So since the Bolt is using older tech it’s getting the axe in favor of launching what will probably be their volume models in the Equinox and Blazer. There probably is some tensions with supplier ability and…

Agreed! I want one but with the current model being popular and slated to end production I am not sure I’ll be ready to buy before they are gone and have to wait for this  supposed replacement.

Given the quoted comments and need for swiftness I am guessing they are going to focus on working Ultium batteries into basically the same shell as it sits. Probably a visual update to look like the Equinox EV and Blazer EV, similar to the styling update from gen 1 to gen 2. This would allow for less engineering…

Wa already charges you more for heavier vehicles via yearly registration. So unless they make changes to the weight fee as part of this then Hummer EV people pay per mile and pay a “penalty” for having the mass of a school bus in the shape of a full size truck. One thing I am interested in is how they account for…

A not insignificant problem of our capitalist system as it stands is failing to price in externalities. Capital has for many years pushed the external costs of choices to the people/government. This short term profit loop would be much different if the government forced capital interests to clean up their messes every…

Feels like it used to be “this thing drives on rails, feels like virgin wool and is a piece of craftsmanship” now it’s “when I spin my finger in the air the volume is supposed to change”.

My wife desperately wants one…pray for me

It seems Tesla has done a lot of work on their overall QC. The bigger issues seem to revolve around parts availability, service and the seeming ability for minor damage to make them insurance write offs

Car and Driver are reporting the new base price around $50k. Basically a 25% increase in base price alone. Looks like they may be able to keep the higher prices a bit more stable, but everyone looking for a bottom barrel model under $50k are out.

I was excited to see the original base price but also understood that was announced without the vehicle being immediately available so increases could happen. Also anyone seriously thinking GM would give you big battery range from a base model has a screw loose.

Short answer is yes. The gov can set a whole slew of rules to follow if a company wants the money. Long answer involves if it becomes useless due to so few companies using it and if executives would insta-nope out of there upon first glancing at that clause.

125% is high but if you are a person that finances taxes and reg fees you could be within spitting distance without much effort.

I guess I should ask for him to give a list lol. To me there is a difference saying Honda and Toyota are commanding markups vs Kia, Hyundai and Nissan. In a normal market paying MSRP or very close to it for a RAV4 or an accord made some sense due to their overall value and ability to command higher resale. Paying MSRP…

Designer: if you have to ask you won’t get the explanation.
