I would probably go the C&B route. People seem to not treat sellers quite like punching bags there.
I just emailed the salesperson at the dealership where I bought my Supra a couple years ago. We’ll see.
DM me when you cut it loose.

Oh you would’ve hated me on the go kart track yesterday. In my group, the fastest lap was right around 60 seconds. My fastest lap…90 seconds! 😀

90 seconds !! Were you pushing that go kart or pulling it.

For whatever reason, I didn’t get the mass email that was sent out by Ford this week to people who had ordered a Maverick (I got the last one they sent out in March). I chatted with a Ford rep online and she found my order, said it has not been scheduled, but also said she didn’t see any constraints, which is an odd statement given that I picked the CoPilot 360 package that has been under constraint for a long time.

I'm kinda shocked they didn't reach out to you first!

We’ll see how it goes. They were the ones who discounted heavily my Supra when others wouldn’t, the sales manager stating that as cool as it was, it was still just a car and he wanted to make a sale. But that was two years ago.
More recently, I had spoken with them about the new GR86, and they had no markups.
So I have hope, but not counting on it.

Logical answer I guess, is don’t try a long road trip!

MSRP can’t only be sacrosanct one direction!

If you don't mind me asking, was this the one on Arapahoe, or Broadway?
The tradeoff seems to be to charge quickly to 40-50-60% and hit the next charger 50-80 miles down the road, and repeat ("charger hopping", it's called). Plus, finding chargers next to the highways.
One video was a trip from Chicago to Orlando.
Not sure I can see us using the VW for a long road trip.

ADM is not illegal, it's all a part of the game. But the dealership mentioned before, who were turning over their new cars as used cars so they could charge more, that to me was sleazy. I'm sure not everyone would agree with me on that, but that is my viewpoint.

BMW got in hot water for putting cars into their loaner fleets and counting those as sales.
and I often do that trip at night (doing it tomorrow) so leaving here at about 6:00 PM. and I know I won't have any desire to be trying to find a fast charger at 9:00 or so. x10 if the weather is bad! and then have to worry about it again as soon as I get there.

Nice looking S90 btw. Once upon a time there were smokin’ lease deals on those.

I’ve heard of more than a few people getting to the table and telling them they’ll pay MSRP but no ADM and the deal gets done. If they don’t move on it, I’m reasonably sure there’s another dealer not far away that will.

I'll have a 3 hour drive from SD to my hometown north of LA, then roughly 17-18 hours from there back to Colorado, I'll have plenty of time to get acquainted with the Sonata. New head unit with CarPlay is being installed on Saturday (thanks, sis!), so that will help.

Hey doctor @andres3, most doctors preach just the opposite. But then what would you expect from slow poke doctors?

I think @roadburner could do a transcontinental trip with ease.

@kyfdx, are you trying to tell us you got into the car flipping biz while on vacation?

I’ve done all that, although not all at the same time.

Well, you’ve given us a lot to unpack.

"How to prolong your electric car battery’s life
1. Don’t overcharge it: constantly topping up your electric car to keep it fully charged can actually damage it. Laptops, for example, lose battery capacity if they're plugged in all the time. It's better to let the capacity run down to 10 or 20%, then recharge to around 80%."
Car and Driver found that maintenance costs on their long-term Model 3 were not far from gas cars once you include tire replacements at 30k rather than 50k. At the end of 3 years the battery of their long-term tester had lost 7% of its range.
https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a30209598/2019-tesla-model-3-reliability-maintenance/
"The Model 3 has minimal scheduled service. However, one regional requirement that applies to us is lubricating the oft-dormant brake calipers every year or 12,500 miles in areas where roads are salted during winter. Those three lubes each cost oil-change money, totaling $306. But our car's minuscule brake wear over 40,000 miles suggests the pads should last well past 100,000 miles. The Model 3's all-season Michelin tires, on the other hand, were used up after just 30,000 miles, partially because the Tesla version of this tire has less tread depth, probably for a slight boost in efficiency and range. A new set was $1157....Like a cellphone battery, the lithium-ion packs that power today's EVs lose their ability to hold energy over time. The big questions are how much and how quickly. Two things that accelerate the falloff are lots of fast-charging and charging all the way to 100 percent, both of which we did quite often. Using third-party software called TeslaFi, we could nerd out on all kinds of data about our car's driving and charging, as well as monitor its battery loss. At the 20,000-mile halfway point of our test, our car showed about a 6 percent loss, or a 19-mile range reduction."
If longer road trips are required, we take the Subaru or rent a car, as necessary. At $50 every week or two for gas, we can save $1000/year on fueling costs.
