Am I missing something, because I haven’t found much under $70k in the used market and msrp is $79k. Everyone knew the 24 FS would plummet based on the FS premium once non-FS models came out, but 10-15% depreciation in 1-2 years is better than most vehicles.
This is pretty funny. I'm an ex-Ferrari owner and spend a lot of time on their forums. It's already a tough crowd when it comes to any EV, and it's been a rage fest, borderline riot, for the first 24hrs after the unveil.
As a CT fan, ironically, after cooling off and letting my incredulity die...
It’s a tough one. Biggest attraction to EV for me is driving experience, one pedal, frunk, tech, less moving parts to service and low energy costs to operate compared to fueling up with gas. So I’d take this over going back to ICE if I really needed the range, which sometimes I do. However I...
It's been pretty insane how well these CT's are holding their values.There's no such thing as a bargain CT from what I can tell. They're all priced close enough to a new one, that it doesn't make sense to go used.
That’s weird, I have a 2024 with 22k miles and I’m still showing 440 or more miles when I charge to 100%. No loss whatsoever. However, it had a big mix of use and charging types. At home it gets charged to 80%, and usually keeps an SOC between 40-80%, and 48amp charging. On projects I top out at...
Might actually sell more by doing this. What do all the “cool” big time villains drive? Range Rovers, G Wagons, Mercedes, BMW. Might actually be interpreted as the CT making it to the big leagues.
Amazing. Seriously, to me it fixed the charging and range issues that I had. For the long trips, the stop duration isn't much different than a smaller battery truck, just less stops. For example, our TX->CO was much less stressful than the prior year in the Lightning and didn't feel like our...
Around town I agree, but long distance driving once on the highway, Super Cruise is good enough. My recent Texas to Mississippi trip was about 90% hands-free driving.
Honestly, not a fan of the splash and dash. That’s one area where I’m happier with my Sierra EV. However, I’m frequently on long trips so I get that I’m an outlier.
I've got the Sierra EV, 440mi range. I've done the detailed version before, but to keep it short. It's great if you travel long distances, tow, spend long periods of time untethered to a charger, can't overnight charge, spend time in rural areas. If you don't want as much attention, also good...
It will be interesting to see how many fulfill their order. The problem with this one week deal is it incentivizes people to place the deposit and then make a decision later. I stared at that page until 1a cst deciding whether it was worth it at least placing the order as I wouldn’t have minded...
Only because they haven’t proliferated enough, not because they were meant to be flashy. With legacy I have to wear a bunch of chrome on every top trim, and I don’t like chrome. Also, I’m about to head out to my next drilling project and I’m going to roll up on the worksite in a flashy Denali...
We've had similar vehicle ownership. My trajectory was 22 Sierra Denali 6.2L -> 23 Lightning Lariat ER -> Ford Buy Back replaced with 24 F150 King Ranch Hybrid -> Traded for 24 Sierra EV Denali.
Sierra range (440mi) was a game changer for me, along with it's faster charging. Weekend trips and...
I will say one thing about the higher resale prices at dealerships. It’s my understanding that since Tesla isn’t a traditional dealer experience, they lowball the heck out trade-ins. The used dealers may be facilitating entry into the CT for those who can’t/won’t take the hit and don’t want to...
Don't think I've seen this answered, but say Tesla is doing this deal to get rid of extra parts. Are the is the non-air suspension used on this truck shared with any other vehicle or manufacturers? There weren't a lot of RWD CT's sold, and if this is a parts bin fire sale, wondering how easy it...
I've actually read of this happening fairly often across different forums. Honestly, part of the reason for my "Short-term ownerships" thread on this forum, was because I was thinking of having parked at the house so she might end up driving it and liking it. However, it might backfire because...
I wish my wife liked it. I offered a new Y a year ago, or a 2015 Odyssey with 130k miles and she chose the Odyssey. Again I offered this CT as her daily, and she opts for ten year old high mileage Odyssey. SMH
She's really against the CT design, and refuses to get into an EV because she says...
