MrOnBicycle posted:If I'm reading this right and the lease monthly cost is $244... how is that even possible? If that's with zero drive offs, it would just be huge discounts. My guess is that it's full msrp, minus the listed discount, and a huge down payment. The lease terms are cropped out.

knox_harrington posted:Would wrecking the car on Day 1 not be covered by your insurance? I am guessing not, presumably due to shittiness of car insurance in the US, but it seems absolutely crazy from a Euro perspective. The lease agreements require that you get full cover insurance anyway. Yes you're supposed to have full coverage but generally you'll get diminished value because guess what, the car is used now. Most leases have gap insurance for this reason but even then, why deal with it in the first place? Also what if you return the car? If you do MSDs (multiple security deposits, aka buy down the rate) you get that money back when you turn it in. You don't get down payment money back. The same applies to a trade in...it's better to just get a check from the dealer and not let that money come near the lease.

Literally Lewis Hamilton posted:Here are some actual policy endorsements which stipulate what coverage actually entails. You may want to re-read the language on those. A carry-over balance is an unpaid balance on a different loan. If the money is financed as part of a new loan that has gap, the gap insurance covers the new balance. Where this comes up is during the time that your previous balance hasn't been paid off yet and you technically still have two separate loans.

Endymion FRS MK1 posted:I then was contacted the very next day by the dealer I purchased from last year wanting to buy up cars. Disappointingly, I go there and they say my Bolt isn't exactly a good candidate for that and pointed me to the buyback program. FYI this is a dealership scam as old as time. I bet if you wanted a Tahoe or Silverado they would have said your Bolt was a great candidate.

The prevalence of Tesla brainworms means that Teslas are considered aspirational purchases by the non-car enthusiast public.

TJChap2840 posted:I was getting the same thing. It was telling me to do Decatur or Knoxville. My local store is the Alpharetta/Roswell one. When I took delivery a few weeks ago I asked about the gallery store at the Avalon. He said it was supposed to be for test drives but they literally can’t keep cars there because Teslas are selling so fast. He also said they were likely going to close it within a year since it isn’t really able to serve its purpose. I guess I'll just buy it and if I don't like it, resell it to Carvana for profit.

Cinrac posted:The 360 degree camera requires going through menus to activate it, and it turns off the second you put it in drive so you have to turn it back on if you are trying to use it to parallel park. FYI you can drag the camera app in the app drawer to one of the bottom buttons that's there all the time on the screen.

Vegetable posted:I don’t think you need the screen to light up with a brake light indication but I do think the manufacturers generally haven’t communicated how brake lights work with regen braking. Brake lights are such an important signal on the roads and I think they could probably be speaking more to it. On my Bolt, it was listed in the manual.

priznat posted:Yeah that's one thing reviews rarely get a very good handle on, reliability. I'm not really keen on a PHEV either, seems like just more possibilities for issues than a straight ICE or BEV. I imagine with that turbo/supercharger it'll require the higher octane gas too. Volvo dropped the supercharger across the lineup for '23. Still probably requires premium.

SlowBloke posted:My use case scenario for CarPlay is navigation and emergency conference, so if the car infotainment can handle teams, webex and zoom maybe I could do without but I'm skeptical on long term availability of the integrations (like all devices that had Skype or Facebook hardwired in the os and were killed once the api changed). The Ultium vehicles will be using Android Automotive so I guess the big question would be if the Android Automotive app store will have them for download. edit: cruft posted:I believe their plan is to charge you every month for it.

Pork Chops Aplenty posted:Not in any rush to buy, but I want something reliable that I can plan on driving for 10-15 years with minimal repairs/hassle like my current 2008 TL... THIS IS JUST MY OPINION but... I would stick to ICE versus an EV if that's the case. EVs today are very much 1.0 products. If that timeline was 5-7 years, maybe EVs.

QuarkJets posted:I'm really not sure how Sirius XM is still a thing, their customer base is the intersection of people who are A) not happy with free car radio, B) too old to know how to use their phone for media, and C) able to afford a monthly subscription for car radio. How is this a successful business model? I don't get it. I know how to use a phone to play music, but I just like having someone else curate music for me. I'm a SiriusXM, Apple Music and Spotify subscriber.
