But they do! 
Polestar just ran a $25k discount on the Polestar 3 over the last two months.
And I had a $20k preorder discount on my R1T.
The key is to be better at bargain hunting than the next guy, so that you can stay ahead of the depreciation curve!

Well, perhaps you should put your world-class negotiation skills to use by telling Carney to step aside and overcome Trump’s whack-a-mole economics and political policies.

needa bigger vehicle: should i trade my small ICE in for a depreciated EV?
or sell it then lease one; are dealers trying to move volume as the US tax credit is expiring? does that impact our market quite a bit?
ex30 left such great driving impression; does anything else drive like it? maybe just slightly bigger haha

Just gotta keep an eye out.

Small overlap so when you are getting a loaded CRV, you'd think oh I'll get a RDX instead. But a base RDX is going to be missing some niceties and they'll want to spend even more.
That just a little bit mindset is hard to beat, that's how I ended up in a M3

- $6k Costco rebate
- $10k US federal EV rebate
- $1.4k San Mateo county EV rebate
- $1.1k PG&E power company EV rebate
=$35k in discounts
So the depreciation was only $5k over 5 years, which means EVs do hold their value!! | That's still $40k in depreciation, you just only had to eat $5k of it thanks to the discounts.

1. How much you plan on using this vehicle per year
2. Whether you can charge at home to cover your everyday use
3. How long you plan to keep the vehicle Quote:

I think the only exception we got here is/was the 500e. Quote:

If it's acceleration, I think the Model Y Performance is the next closest thing in Canada, or an EV6 GT that I've seen hovering around $50k.
