I don’t mean to contradict anyone but I am going to step in. I have leased several cars for about 20 years. Usually I have out nothing down because it doesn’t make sense if the car is used for business. I have made a one pay lease for personal car business I didn’t want to bother with...

I Just an email from lucid yesterday: For me, I would rather change my order without the HUD to get it sooner. It’s not in my time frame worth to wait to the fall to get the full technology package. The one thing I am curious about….why can’t sanctuary mode work without HUD hardware or does...

I agree….Purely looking at down payment difference…not for the whole lease calculation

Just looked at lease calculator with $40,000 down payment and the difference in payment from zero down is $1235 per month. Plugging that into calculator shows over 3 years it comes to about 7.5% interest. I know this isn’t exact but it is at least a baseline

I had the BMW IX for about a year and just sold it because the Gravity is coming and I still have my Air. In my opinion the BMW was very nice but It didn’t handle all that well to what I hear from the early reviews. It doesn’t have a frunk and technology not as well laid out from what I have...

Range is more important factor for me that is why I am getting the smallest tire combo

I think unfortunately many people focus on the negative versus the whole package. Thanks for laying out your list that really helps frame the whole package.

I am open to selling my performance dream edition to make room for Gravity

That is quite good considering the conditions. I think sometimes people have unrealistic expectations. In my opinion to average 3.5 used in bad weather is exceptional!!

I got the same invite being a current Dream owner and to me the extra price difference isn’t worth the rough $18k Additional cost

I do agree with your assessment to some degree but I still think depreciation will be a problem but maybe not as bad as Dream

Yes that is why the only way to protect yourself is lease…wasn’t an option with Dream. Now buying used already has huge depreciation built in (like 50% for me for very few miles). The choice is of course yours…I will list my car in this forum and decide at that time but I know I need an SUV.

I am in DC and I was thinking $85k…which is about 50% of initial price paid…I love the car but am SUV works better for our family situation

Got it…I can circle back when my Gravity will be ready…by the way where are you located?

No lease…bought it 3 years ago
