Hey Bisco, thanks you have been fantastic if not the greatest contributor, incredible wealth of knowledge !
It’s awesome BTW !!! Consider the RWD LFP, one I got. Also the new model 3 highland should be announced and day. Unless you have a CT on order
From what I read, he went with a Bolt instead. @bisco, just curious, what made you choose a Bolt instead?
The Tesla was an amazing vehicle, and the price was right at 31k after tax credits. But my driving didn’t really call for it. I do 8-10 miles a day on average, with a 30 mile trip on sundays. We use the hycam for Florida, so I just couldn’t justify the Tesla as a garage queen. At 22k for the bolt, I thought it would be a good foray into all electric driving. I also like the hatch style but couldn’t justify the model Y. Honestly, if my pip engine hadn’t blown up, I would have kept it, as it was the best car I ever owned. If they hadn’t made the new prime into a sports car, I probably would have bought one.
The bolt is incredible value in some Instances, I hear you can pick it up for under 10k in some states maybe Colorado not sure tho.
There was a deal awhile ago starting at 27k iirc, but demand jumped the price up on top of ending current production to retool for the ultium line. If something better comes along in the next few years, I’ll trade up. Maybe Tesla will make a Prius sized hatchback, or Mrs b will be willing to drive to Florida in an ev, she loved the Tesla
You know it’s coming the highland replacing model 3 rumoured to be cheaper, so call model 2 will be up to 50% cheaper when they come out of giga Mexico inflation pending lol
I was hoping for a cheap gen5 prime to replace my elderly Volt but the pricing of Bolts vrs $50k for a loaded prime makes my decision easier. Ah well
yeah, toyota has followed only one direction, up. and the loss of tax credits hurts too. and the lack of production. is it still the most reliable car on the market? i don't even know anymore after owning a gen 3. don't get me started
Yes indeed I share your comments , I'm in your age group , and I will hold on to my PPrime 2022 as long as i can . It serves me well and is OK for my EV needs.
