With the discontinuation of the model, wonder of it will help or hurt its resale value?

Probably hurt. Used inventory on Autotrader has actually gone up since the announcement. Not a lot of people rushing out to buy them up. Whether justified or not, the fear of battery replacement down the road probably scares a lot of folks off.

I’d also be interested to see what happens to remaining inventory. I would totally lease one if they give a good discount.

Checked out the Toronto Auto Show today.

All the manufacturers went all in on EVs…maybe 40% of the cars was dedicated to battery EV…for ever one gas Escalade there was 2 Escalade EVs

It’s interesting, I would have thought the values would be stable or up as I thought demand would go up. Where else can you get a car with 1,000hp for so cheap? Once it is gone I am not sure what would I would get at its price point.

Doug Demuro did a review of that Caddy, Its available for sale at an astronomical price. It's also hideous to me.

i checked what a 40 roll is and google says: It is considered a dangerous, illegal, and high-speed activity on public roads.

(In other words juvenile, stupid, and reckless, and nothing to do with the video posted)

More to the point, it takes either an expensive sports car or a highly modified engine to start at 40 or 50 mph just to keep up or beat my family sedan 🤣🤣
