  1. The 3 OR Y outsell all of Cadillac. Selling nearly 2 million a year is pretty much a sht ton when you can't get in one for under 50k. If your ONLY comparison to attempt to bring Tesla down is a cheap Chinese company, it's safe to say Tesla's are selling very well, better than any other electric vehicle. Also, just because BYD surpassed them in one quarter, doesn't mean Teslas aren't selling well. Again, just because you don't like Elon, doesn't mean people don't love his products.
  2. Yeah, but they're not the only ones who are almost exclusively an SUV manufacturer. Lincoln has gone ONLY SUV. Most companies sell so many more SUVs than cars that that's where their investments lie. Most people don't want cars anymore. I know you hate Elon and therefore hate his vehicles, but they sell a sht ton of Model 3's and Y's. Apparently, a lot of people are perfectly fine with the minimalist interiors of them. The 3 has been on sale since 2017 and the minimalist interior has not slowed them down one bit.
  3. There is zero proof you have that every one "sold fast". Half the engine options were extremely underwhelming compared to anything this competes with. a 2.0T and an n/a V6? C'mon Cadillac!
  4. I think that was the problem. It was a very popular car. If it were, they would have produced more and sold more.
  5. About as difficult as the EV Escalade. Probably impossible on both. Funny enough, it's damn near the same exact setup.
  6. So how did this get off the finalist list? 400v vs 800v? I definitely agree that I would use a different salesman. I HATE a crappy salesperson. Those people make me associate them all as sleezy.
  7. That's all I'm worried about. I'm not going to spend a sht ton more money having a 19.2kW charger installed for the 1 day every 3 years I empty the battery, get home for 2 hours, and have to again drive enough that I couldn't make it back home...
  8. I know what you mean but that's also A LOT of driving in one day. That's a pretty rare scenario to use nearly your entire battery then still need a considerable amount more in "a few hours" where 7.2/11 wouldn't suffice. Also, for 19.2kW charging, you need a dedicated 100 amp circuit. I'm not sure if many people have that available anyway. It'll certainly cost more than just a 50amp circuit. So, while it would be nice to be capable of that, I'm still not sure all that many will actually utilize that.
  9. The charger is L2 capable, i just don't have an outdoor 220v outlet. They give you two connectors with the charger. One is for your standard 110v plug and one is a 220v plug. I actually don't see any issue with 7.2Kw for at-home charging. I guess you may need more if you had a truck and actually drove 200+ miles a day and needed to fill a massive battery overnight. 11Kw is more than enough for something like this, IMO. If you completely drained the 96kWh battery, it would still be easily charged overnight in less than 9hrs at that rate. Plus, if you were actually trying to maintain your battery, you wouldn't be charging to 100% every time anyway so it would be even less time.
  10. Not sure. I think her vehicle is done, actually. It may be going away today.
  11. 13hrs on the slowest charger possible:
  12. Haha yeah, this is a pretty small town. I’m surprised they have one that’s not at a dealership already. The Walmart would be nice but I’d never use it, if I bought an EV. I’d already have a charger at home for waaaay cheaper.
  13. The Ecocharging is turned off. Yeah, I don’t think I could commit to an EV Until we built a garage and I could put a L2 outlet in there. Im just saying that L1 could work for us, if I really wanted to.
  14. Yeah, I juuuust plugged it in at 44% and this is what it’s reading. TUESDAY. 😂 it would honestly be do-able on a regular basis because most driving is short for us. We’d kill it over the weekend and multiple nights throughout the week we’d be full again.
  15. 62249 I’m going to rummage through the trunk and see if the charger that comes with the car can work or not with our situation. Well, it looks like the home charger can be plugged into a 110v outlet with an extension cord so I’ll have to do that tonight. We drove about 70 miles today and it’s at 45% remaining. Getting about 300w/mi in quite a mix of driving.
  16. I've finally gotten to spend a few minutes behind the wheel of an EV. My wife's G is in the shop again for the same exact reasons it was a couple years ago. We had a C300 4Matic loaner than got a flat Wednesday. They picked that up and dropped off an EQE 350 4Matic Sedan. It looks like crap. But I already knew that. It's super quick and super quiet, which I expected both of those already as well. The interior is 95% of the C300 with a few more menu options and considerably larger rear legroom, also as I'd expect from an E over a C. It's overall super nice and quite fun to drive and mess around with something so different. It's weird accelerating so quickly and my body/mind just expect a shift point and for noises to happen and they just don't. It just keeps pulling silently. I have no clue how long we'll have this for so I may only have those like 3 miles of driving it. I'd like to comment on the range/efficiency of it but we'll have to see how that goes. Oh yeah, we have to publicly charge it and that's going to suck total @ss. We only have 3 chargers in town, all level 2, with no way to plug it into an exterior wall outlet at home, that I know of.
  17. I don't care what it may resemble. It looks cool as hell.
  18. I love it. It's probably the perfect size for us and I still dig the soft boxy shape.
  19. It's nice to see these significant price drops but I have a feeling they'll just raise them back up in a couple months. That's just what's been happening.
  20. We once had Chargers all over the place now everything is an Explorer. I actually don't remember the last time I saw a Charger as a police vehicle, come to think of it. I'm sure I've seen them around still but everything around here has to be like 90% Explorers now.
  21. I actually assumed it was more about extracting more money out of a vehicle/platform. Brand new vehicles will spike sales, even with an old engine. Then in a year or two they add a new engine to spike sales again. Rinse and repeat.
