    I never would have guessed. I just assumed a smaller payment for the lease would save you money while the car is depreciating no matter what while I "own" it, somewhat regardless of the miles put on it.

    Interesting to know that, great find! I wonder if that 13% includes the regeneration from getting back down to pedestrian speeds. I know it's kind of splitting hairs at that point.. but not really as it's an electric vehicle that you can't just go to the gas station just outside of the track to fill up for the drive home. I also think that scale should say "hundred thousands" not just "thousands" at the bottom. It's a misleading graph as-is.

    I'm curious what kind of range depletion there is when you go balls out for just 1 0-60 run or 1/4 mile pass in a car like this.

    How did that not get totaled out? That had to be like 90% of its value if it was fairly base and a few years old.

    Completely agree with your second part. Auto makers are making vehicles to the point where average joe can barely touch his own car because it's just so complex or difficult to get to certain areas of a car. Then there are hybrids with insane electricity "flowing" through them that you have to be extra careful with.

    Hahaha right?! Pretty absurd price jump if you ask me.. But they must know people are willing to pay the difference.

    I would love that! Lol

    I have to have them fogs on any vehicle I own. Something about them I love irrationally.

    Jeez 7500 miles???? That's a little ridiculous, IMO.

    Yeah leasing properly can really benefit somebody. For instance, if my mom OR dad leased one of their two vehicles they'd probably save a munch of money. They both live only 3 miles from work but they di visit my sister a handful of times a year in IA so they would still surpass the minimum mileage on ONE of their vehicles. Then again, my dad keeps their vehicles for ~7-8 years so they do get their monies worth from them as-is. Similar situation for a buddy of mine's fiancé. He said once her car is paid off they will likely lease her next car because she puts so few miles on it. If you can fit into the bottom two rungs of a lease mileage-wise it can be pretty beneficial.

    EVERTHING falls at some point. Look at ANYTHING, EVER, AT ANY TIME in history and tell me it never changed or fell from leadership to peasant at some point. A good organization/company/country will sustain it longer but let's be honest.. nothing ever lasts forever. Period. That's just the way she goes.

    I probably should have clarified as well that each battery jump is NOT equal. 60kWh -> 75kWh = $8500 75kWh -> 90kWh = $15,000 90kWh -> 100kWh = $43,000(But this also gives no RWD option, only AWD)

    Do you already know their packaging for the Model 3? It might not be as bad as you think. We know larger batteries and all wheel drive will quickly drive the price up(and driving range). The jumps from battery packs and AWD alone are massive on the Model S. 60kWh -> 75kWh = $8500 60kWh RWD -> AWD = $5000 Base model -> 75kWh AWD = $13,500 There aren't a whole ton of options that jack the price sky high other than batteries and AWD. Yes, there are cold weather packages, their nifty air suspension, and then their Premium package but other than that Autopilot has been said it will be standard on the Model 3. Premium Package= $3000(most of this is junk like HEPA air filtration, LED interior lighting, lighted door handles...) Air Suspension= $2500 Cold Weather= $1000 Point being... They don't come stripped down and there isn't really a reason one must assume a 20-25k option list is a must on a Model 3.

    Yeah same here...

    Bye then

    FINALLY an engine exclusive to Lincoln AND something that should please just about everybody... Lincoln is ditching the "EcoBoost" naming and just using the "T" on their turbo engines. I think that alone kept them too close to Ford.
  17. ccap41
    Lol you're kidding, right? Why even post here if THAT get's deleted? Wtf was wrong it that?
  18. ccap41
    So it is more of a Subjective decision rather than an objective decision? Gotcha. Let the fairness fly!
  19. ccap41
    Legit question, Why can some get away going completely off topic and talking about posters in threads? Yet, other posts get deleted and/or edited? Sincerely yours, ConfusedPoster

    I don't see any issues with Cadillac(or any manufacturer) having a little radical concepts. That's just kind of what they all have always done. Every car gets watered down come production because of a multitude of reason. Some are financial, some are government regulations, and some just aren't functional. This concept actually looks pretty close to a production vehicle and that's impressive to me because there are manufacturers like MB who released that Vision-something-or-whatever that looks fake as F. Nothing about that will be production.

    You're not forced to add 20-25k in options on the Tesla. They're still expanding their charge network and improving the technology for reduced charge times.
  22. ccap41
    Nice to see the expansion of their 8spd getting put to good use. I heard the epa ratings are more stringent for 2017 but even if this doesn't change, that's an improvement.

    I read this the other day and I see no reason for any commercial use truck to not attempt EV or at least hybrid-ness. The only one that I didn't understand was the top one where they replace the bed with solar panels..but then it's basically just a useless single cab truck.. I would really like to see large companies like FedEx, UPS, USPS going more and more electric if their routes allow for it. I think that would be a big push in going more and more electric and on top of the vehicles themselves just getting more humans behind the wheels of them will benefit the other civilian EVs like the Bolt.

    ^ It's so glorious! If only it had a V8 to go with the awesomeness of it all.
