great post! only issue i see with collision prevention braking like that is if there's a car behind you they might hit you because you stop so fast. thankfully that's never happened to me.

oh and i'm jealous of your eqs suv... love it.

Get one while they're still whoring them out like we did

Do they have any pretty ones? Oh, you meant EQS...nevermind

WAY nicer looking than a model Y.

your is black which hides the frumpiness.

That's why I specifically got it in black. Also, changing the Aero covers changes the look. I see a bunch of Y's on the road with custom rims, which makes them look cool...IMO of course

agreed black and covers help... li'l photography tip though... always take car pics from further away and zoom in if you want closer, or the camera distorts the shape. your car looks like a blob in the above pic, but here's a similar angle but looks better.

AMIRZA786

I'll keep that in mind. I'm going to be test driving an i7 soon and I'll try to get better looking pics

Hey hey hey now, Model Y looks great in blue too 😁

(I actually find Model Y to be a really good looking car. Between the Y and EQS, I find the Y to be the “sexier” one of the bunch. It’s taken me some time to warm up to the EQS styling but I like it now)

I think it looks great in blue. It's the Long ranges stock Aero cover for the 19" wheels that gives it that weird look

I think white looks the best with the 20" wheels. The factory aero covers leave a lot to be desired.

yes, worst pics are standing close and taken from higher pov (like holding the phone in front of your face).
much better pics if you go way back (20-50 yds) and maybe zoom in if you want less background. and try taking a shot while kneeling down.

How's this pic? Just took it to the car wash

Elon Musk On Rising Ford F-150 Lightning Dealer Stockpile: 'Wow'

Rising prices and other factors have over 8,000 Lightnings waiting on dealer lots

An interesting report has emerged this week, indicating that there is a relatively high number of new all-electric Ford F-150 Lightning pickup trucks available for purchase right away from dealers in the United States.

According to CarEdge, there are more than 8,000 Ford F-150 Lightning listed - 8,128 as of writing this article - in various versions that are marked as new. For reference, the number of used vehicles is below 400 (398 to be precise).

Through the end of September, Ford sold 12,260 F-150 Lightnings in the US (up 40 percent year-over-year), including 3,503 in the third quarter (down 46 percent year-over-year). The cumulative number is 27,877 units.

If we combine the numbers - vehicles sold (27,877) and listed by dealers (8,128) - then it turns out that the total is over 36,000. This provides us with the production numbers since the beginning of 2022 and indicates that unsold vehicles account for 22 percent of all vehicles produced. Well, the share might be lower if there are vehicles at the manufacturer's parking lot/in transit to dealers.

The report about those numbers was shared on the X platform, owned by Tesla's boss Elon Musk, who posted a comment "Wow," which we can interpret as a surprise. However, the original post from AJ (@alojoh / X) wrongly indicates that roughly 30 percent of the vehicles ever manufactured remain unsold. That's because the author divided 8,012 units by 27,877, instead of by the total.



Anyway, it's an interesting data point, potentially indicating demand issues for all-electric pickup at the offered prices. The Ford F-150 Lightning is a new model with a long queue of reservations, so we would not expect thousands of vehicles waiting for customers.

Let's note that Ford lowered prices this summer quite considerably (Elon Musk said at the time that the Ford F-150 Lightning is a "good vehicle," but "somewhat expensive"). Later, the Flash trim was announced, and a new wave of discounts emerged (up to $15,000) in October. Meanwhile, Ford is experiencing further production issues at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn, Michigan.

On top of that, yesterday it was revealed that General Motors intends to delay the production start of all-electric pickups at its second EV plant (Orion Assembly), mentioning demand among the reasons. We can't be sure, but perhaps there is a billion-dollar question here as to whether OEMs can attract a high number of customers at the anticipated price point.
