Thanks for chiming in, FlyShacker! So sorry you felt dismissed—that's definitely not my intention. Here's our conversation verbatim and in full, in case anyone is interested. I've included the questions I've been asking everyone who was kind enough to DM me, of which the last 2 are directly...

The comparison to other cars is very useful, thank you. As for why I asked about people keeping them, it's because I've seen several articles in the vein of this one from Forbes, which specifically says that "many 'used' CTs are virtually new vehicles or nearly new"...

Can you link to the lie-containing articles, if you have them handy? Sounds like you guys have had a rough time talking to writers.

Thanks for the reply—let me know if you'd like to talk, here or over email. Cheers!
