All the good stuff.

saw this today. Sharp looking. Smaller than lyric.
Is this the Lyric V? I started watching a review video on it tonight. I believe it has a 105kwh battery. 10%-80% in 41 min (could be faster) on a 190ish kWh charger

My wife has the Cayenne this weekend so I can’t take that so it’s either the Tucson or the Plaid but I put in the Tesla Go Anywhere trip planner and it has me going a little past Penn State and charging for 40 minutes. I don’t really want to do that so I’m wondering what alternative trip planners that are better. If the supercharger was on campus it would be ideal but going out of my way and charging for 40 minutes is just annoying.
I saw on the news there is supposed to be all kinds of flash flooding over parts of the northeast today and tomorrow. Not sure if that impacts your trip or not, but they are acting like it is going to be a mess.

Legacy ev might not have the best in class powertrain or features, but they are really good at multi prong product launches. Just yesterday the only ev caddy on my radar was the lyriq, but damn gm is hard at work churning them out at all levels.

Just saw kia munro live launch of their ev entry sedan.

Weather looks good Saturday so hopefully Fridays weather doesn’t impact me.

The depreciation is waaayyy more than I expected! $27k?!?! MB EQS. Granted it's the cheapest one, but plenty in the low 30k range.

As expected, i have been intouch with eqs mania owners, and dealers are dumping them once grounded. The residuals were hyperinflated but hey good for used car buyers granted they are aware of whats goes with buying a car that originally retailed at the 100k market.

Not click bait when I set the expectation of what is at the link and I say there are plenty others 3-5k more. What else do you need me to say?! Hahaha!

Ya, just never realized they were down there in price already in the used car market, even though I should have expected it to be considering the well documented lease steals. Hahaha.

They are not an attractive looking car in my opinion, but I can be convinced to drive one for 17k in a year or two potentially. Lmao. That's a lot of car for even the current used price.

I personally think this benefits the EV market. A lot of people can't afford a new EV. For $30k, I would drive off with an EQS with no hesitation, as long as I had enough drivetrain warranty left

Here's one that is less "clickbait-y".

https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...ckType=listing

Under 35k and 17k miles. Considering dealers want these gone, Is it safe to assume that one can negotiate that down to 30k?

There's about 20 others available for 35k or less too.

Agreed! If everything checks out after doing due diligence, why the heck not?!

So...... That EQS is......... A lemon buyback. It has a lemon branded title. And, for good measure, unspecified accident damage reported. At one point the damage is described as "major", but there are no details.
