As a Sierra EV owner, can confirm. I prefer being able too lift the seats up and have a big, flat, open interior space like the F150's cabin versus the mid-gate.
From there, there's tons of trade off's depending on manufacturer. I wish I had CT's lack of doorhandles because it makes it harder...
Back to getting in and out of buying your vehicle quickly. I agree. There should be a dedicated standby person for anyone who wants a tour of the vehicle. However, I feel that at least every other person wants to walk in, grab the keys, and go. So really they just need to make sure the care is...
Agreed. IMO it will stop distorting EV MSRP's. All it does is give the manufacturer an incentive to increase the price. It will also encourage more efficiency at companies with bloated unions and administrative costs.
I'm not sure how you did that. The 300 mile trip required two stops in my Lightning ended up adding 30-45 minutes. I think you're confusing the difference in range with another truck. The GM product gives me 120 more miles of range than the CT. Going the more frequent but shorter stops add time...
My assessment is based on experience for my use case. I've experienced the 320 range. For 10months and 20,000 miles I drove a triangle between Kentucky, Louisiana and Texas before getting my BAB EV (Big A.. Battery). I'm home maybe 30-40% of the year. The rest of the time I'm in hotels and...
I did, and aside from primarily steering and the tighter suspension that I did appreciate in the CT, I personally did not find it a crazy different driving experience. Acceleration was roughly the same to me, in fact the seat of the pants meter the Lightning gave a sensation of stronger...
I have to disagree with this. The lots are full, there's deals to be had everywhere. I purchased my 100k MSRP EV for $88k. I negotiated my runner up option, the RST with $96k MSRP, to $86k MSRP. The new Chevy LT EV can already be had for $5k off the $75k MSRP in some places, minus $7,500...
I think it would have been 50/50, and would have probably decided based on price. We're a family of 5, we fit more comfortably in the Sierra, but I think the CT is awesome. I really don't know. I personally think the Sierra interior is much nicer. I am a car enthusiast though and know at some...
No kidding. Over 50% of the reason I was swayed to the Sierra EV over the CT was range. I'm not going back to "320" range, and now that I actually own and experience 440 range, I'm convinced that I'm never going back until charging speeds double the current fastest speeds AND the infrastructure...
After pretty extensive research I went with the Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit. There is a little risk here because I didn't get the credit at the point of service, I have to file it with my taxes so I hope it goes smoothly.
Key Points:
Tax credit is taken via a form you file with your...
I think she's implying as I was that a member here shouldn't get tempted to create an LLC with the sole purpose of capturing this credit because it won't work.
Hopefully, I stand corrected. Obviously everyone needs to check in with their CPA. The reading I did indicated that it couldn't be split. I'm no CPA though.
Okay, so let's say it costs me a half hour of extra time, I'm still ahead by nearly a half hour and two less stops in places I don't want to stop at. I don't know how it is in California, but between Colorado and KY and the states in between I've never had a charging issue. Well, except Taos NM...
Crissa, I'm not following. I literally plugged in CT and Sierra on ABRP. You clearly save nearly an hour and two stops with the BAB. How are you losing time charging? I'm struggling to understand.
Also, If your'e taking trips to destinations within 2-3 hours from home you may even do it without...
This needs to be clarified. Assuming your business has $7,500 or more in tax liability you can file for the credit with your business tax return. If you just created a business to get the credit, but have no tax liability, you'll get $0 back. If your liability is less than $7,500, then you get...
I think you're missing the point. Let me simplify. I want to have the longest amount of untethered driving time as possible between forced connections for charging, regardless of cost and efficiency. Aka...prior LER ...yesterday's trip required going speed limit and 2 stops. With my BAB (Big...
