Nicely done




Toyota’s electric SUV appears to rank fourth. Toyota sold 2,769 bZ models in January, which is more than the Hyundai IONIQ 5 (2,126), Ford Mustang Mach-E (1,040), Kia EV9 (674), Honda Prologue (664), and Ford F-150 Lightning (647

Be interesting to see how it all plays out. I don't have a problem with the first-time EV buyer requirement, it's specifically intended to grow EV adoption and incentivize an EV purchase instead of ICE. Anything that helps in that regard is alright by me.

If you look at the lease numbers manufacturers are replacing the tax credit themselves. The lease deals are still there.

Some, not all. Not that Im specifically looking at Tesla but will use them as an example. No way we will get back to a $299 M3 lease without the credit. I think I got an Email from Tesla advertising $399 on the base model

Tesla I can't speak to, but BMW has a $7,500 rebate on their EVs, thats still very common. Tesla prices things dynamically and it changes all the time.
