I was looking at those little Ford Maverick hybrid trucks, which would have been waaay cheaper than this MYLR of mine. They run around 25 - 28K and although they have an ICE engine, they have beds too, which would eliminate my current gas guzzling pickup as well as well as my ICE car. They get around 42 city and 33 mpg highway.
Now Ford prohibits dealer markups on ordered vehicles (or so I was told), but it was the wild west on pre-existing vehicles. Problem is, I couldn't build one and order it anytime this century. They simply weren't available. Instead, I was bombarded with e-mails and texts every time one showed up on the dealer lot near me, telling me to "come get it right now..it won't last", yadda yadda. Of course, that was with like a 10K mark up. And sure enough, they'd be gone the same day they appeared too. They sold like hot cakes. Not me!
Next, I was also looking at the Kia EV6. Those also had a healthy mark up and prices were around what I got the MYLR for (maybe even a bit more), without the tax rebate. That and the limited headroom + low seating position kept me on the sideline.
Enter the price drop.... and it was GAME EFFIN OVER!!! I was actually hoping Tesla would do something but MYLR at 2020 prices which even eliminated 8% inflation? WTF? I couldn't believe it. Ordered mine the same day I found out 1/13 and gave the middle finger to those dealer$$$. Tesla made it so damn easy and I loved the way they displayed option pricing that would take you outside the Tax Rebate. Now my answer is "stop contacting me, I bought a Tesla!"
What sale did Tesla ruin for you?
