MF can be marked up by the dealer; yes, you should negotiate to get the base rate we quote.Sorry meant MF, is what you posted what to strive for in negotiations?

Re: Edmunds Members - Cars and Conversations
It is my opinion that the majority of owners who have problems don't do any research.
I've driven ours a lot recently and planned charging activities (even if I wasn't low) around errands or other things. If you are taking a trip look up where the chargers are!! It's not like you have to pull out the yellow pages we have Google and a host of other apps to help. There are at least five major charging companies Chargepoint, Electrify America, Blink, Tesla and EVGO all have apps. All tell you if the charger you are planning to use is operable and/or occupied. I'd also wager most if not all of the EV's internal systems have a charging database. My Mercedes does and it pops right up on the screen with the KW of the charger and availability.
Don't buy something new without learning how to use it properly.
I'm not kidding.. I would 100% jump in our EV, take a 1000 mile road trip in it and feel confident in both the infrastructure and my ability to plan charging. Even more so if I bought the Tesla charger adapter.

I'm not following it too closely... but it seems to me Nissan is having a tough time being relevant. Are any of their vehicles class leading at this point?
Definitely not like they used to be! It is a shame too, because they have some decent cars with a lot of potential that compete in very crowded segments. Like you said, they are class leading in nothing (power, efficiency, reliability, acceleration…)

Re: Edmunds Members - Cars and Conversations
That looks like just the type of stop that could occupy a good hour in a relaxing way, @corvette ! I don't know.... It is possible that I stopped at that very rest area back in 2016 when I was bringing my Passat home. Sadly, I arrived after dark and just did what was necessary to prep for sleep. I was back on the road before 0600, so it was still pretty dark that morning, and I just put away my supplies and jumped right back out on the road again.
If memory serves, it was somewhere about five hours of driving beyond my Costco stop in Indianapolis. I had lunch with @kyfdx earlier that day before heading toward home in earnest!
It was the only trip, to date, that I traveled that stretch of I-74.

Re: Edmunds Members - Cars and Conversations
Availability of charging stations is also an issue, especially on weekends/holidays. That's one of the reasons I seldom drive the Ariya beyond its home-and-back range anymore.

Re: Edmunds Members - Cars and Conversations
You do have a thing about broken chargers! Really hardly an issue any more. If you find a gas pump out of order do you freak out? No, because there are usually several more that are fine. Same with charging stations. And finding them is pretty easy too.A recent survey from Consumer Reports indicates that EV owners experience issues in about 1 out of every 5 charging sessions. Additionally, a study using AI models trained on EV review data found that charging stations in the US have an average reliability score of 78%, implying that about 20% of chargers may not be working. This highlights the ongoing issue of reliability within the EV charging infrastructure.
They are, on average, less reliable than regular gas stations, Asensio said. “Imagine if you go to a traditional gas station and two out of 10 times the pumps are out of order,” he said. “Consumers would revolt.”
