OMG. This video hurts. I’ve definitely had exactly this meeting

These shortages ended a couple for months ago. Dealerships are going to need to move cars pretty fast in the short term if they don’t want to get left with too much debt and depreciation

This is powerful circular logic. Literally something that hasn’t been done must not be profitable because they would have already done it in order to discover its profitability.

But how do you think they would know that it’s profitable if they’ve never done it? Do you really think they’re that much smarter than you? Because they do “market research”, which is why GM has never made a bad car before?

Maybe just recognize that they have no clue like the rest of us; they’re just the ones with control of the decisions being made.

The current bolt does have CarPlay. That’s why #3 is the best part of this plan

Counterpoint https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head-up_display

A head-up display, or heads-up display

Also, this company called their own product a heads up display https://hudway.co/drive

“heads up” is an expression. It means “pay attention”, not “articulate your multiple heads”.

You’re comparing apples and oranges with the sales numbers. In the US the Ioniq 5 doesn’t qualify for the federal EV tax credit, but the id4 does. IIUC Canada doesn’t have the same protectionist (and kinda racist tbh) policy.

There’s no diminishing returns; it’s a linear relationship. Double the speed is double the speed, unless you’re comparing cars with different sized battery packs. The Ioniq 5 and the id4 are similarly sized though.

Here’s an article https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/electric-car-charging.html#table. In that test the Ioniq 5 gained 100mi of range in 08 min 54 sec, and the id4 did the same in 15 min 09 sec.

OTOH, if you don’t always find an 800V 350kW charger then you may not be gaining as much.

This. Why is the model X OP’s first choice? There’s so many EV SUVs. Basically every brand has at least one. If OP were asking in good faith, they could like at VW, Chevy, Hyundai, Kia, Genesis, Volvo and find an EV with a lower starting price.

We also don’t need to do a California smog inspection with an EV, so it may even come out about the same.
