Been through this more times than I can count as someone super financially conscious. If you really wanted it and it's financially feasible go for it. You're clearly not impulse buying, that tells me that you wanted this bad enough to do a long drawn out, researched purchase; with pricing at the...

I’m a long time WSJ subscriber, and felt they were the most objective and stats driven. However, I’ve noted in the last year or two a move to more sensational and “click bait” type articles that to me water down the brand. Not even taking into account the multiple hit pieces on Musk. Anyway, I...

Some people really do live in a bubble. I like making the occasional unsuspecting sheep a little uncomfortable. I don’t own a Tesla—I drive a Sierra EV—but here’s an example: I was working on my rental property when the neighbor, your classic golf course community mom, came over and...

I don't get an opportunity because outside of Superchargers, all the ones I see are on the move. On the other hand I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of drivers were reluctant just due to the unfortunate negative image that's been impressed upon CT owners. I know if I owned one, I'd be a little on...

I feel I've heard or read about that bump stop. Kyle from Out of Spec on Youtube has frequently mentioned how he likes the way the Dual Motor drives better than the Beast. I don't own one obviously, but if I had to guess the beast has a stiffer suspension to manage the added power, and maybe...

I'm on here enough that sometimes I forget I'm not driving one. I still feel some kinship and excitement when I see one locally. Made sure to give an owner a thumbs up as I passed him on the toll road the other day. Either there's a higher number of owners due to proximity to the Tesla...

You think you're getting a kick out of this? Should have seen the guys on the drilling rig when I was forced to charge of one of the on site 32kW diesel generators for a couple of months in the middle of Kentucky. They were having a field day with me. :LOL:

I feel like people automatically think EV's depreciate massively against ICE cars. Some are not taking into account that you need to add the tax credit to typical depreciation, because a large portion of buyers will qualify for it. That means your true depreciation calculation should begin with...

Good to know, thanks! I thought it was what it was on the site. I'll give it a shot.

I was mostly asking because pricing depends on the location where the vehicle will be registered. I found that out on this forum a few weeks ago. So it makes sense that in place where the CT is more polarizing, or trucks are generally less popular, like CA and NY; prices will be lower than Texas...

What state are you in? Least expensive new in the Texas area is $77.6k, with tax credit $70k.That $64k price is about where I popped in to buy the Lightning ($80k MSRP).

Lot of experience negotiating, IMO it's not looking soft, not to mentione trade low-balling comes into play. @hemiarch has the right idea, need to hear some real world examples. If they were rock bottom we'd have seen some boasting on these forums by now. I know I was stoked when I paid rock...

Sounds like it may be easier to get a deal on a Beast than a Dual Motor. basically the DM is propping up Beast values and maintaining a floor on bottom pricing. I'm guessing demand is holding at the $70k level and top end is weak. Tesla offered me $60k on a 2024 Sierra EV which is similar in...

Just wanted to thank you for taking time to write this informative response, I know you didn' have to. I love replies like this and unfortunately their appearance are few and far between.

For all of the doom and gloom reporting, people saying they can't get $60k for them in the market, and claims of the inevitable demise of the CT; I don't see any deals out there for used CT's. The least expensive are $69k, and I'm sorry, but that's not a deal when you can get a new Dual Motor...

To me it's still pricing. It's not competitive enough against the competition which is lower priced equivalent capable ICE vehicles, cheaper Ford EV truck alternative, or better equipped to handle truck duty competition from GM via better range and charging. Currently they are trying to convert...

Insane, my guess is drinking and flying. The fact no one appears to have died is crazy... but a great selling point.

I don't need the full use of the larger battery when I'm home, but there's no loss in charging time compared to a lower range truck. You get the same 320mi everything else has in the same time, but you can keep it at a lower SOC and have greater range last minute, or yes add time for added range...

I've said this repeatedly. These EV trucks need to make their way to normal people outside of urban areas so that these owners can share their experiences with their neighbors. I take my Sierra EV (previously a Lightning) on drilling rigs in rural areas. I'm usually the first person they have...

I just hope this means a bigger battery version. I dodged a bullet by not buying one initially as I was banking on the extender. I've driven the 320 range Lightning and now have the 440 range Sierra. They need to have a big battery option, it's a game changer. Keep one 320 version, and add the...
