Are you a current or recent car shopper who bought an EV and then installed solar – or who had solar already, making the decision to go electric easier?
OR
Are you a recent EV buyer (past 3 months) as a result of manufacturer incentives and dealer discounts on these vehicles, including year-end deals? Were you convinced to buy an EV after finding a good end-of-year deal, or due to uncertainty around which EVs will no longer qualify for full/partial EV tax credits in 2024?

    What is the adjusted cap cost, with the taxes and fees added in?

    I show the base MF as .00082, so the dealer is marking that up for extra profit.

    I agree with the dealer math; the markup is adding $26/mo to the payment.

    You can push for the base MF, but the dealer has the advantage in the negotiations, as there is so little inventory.
