    If they had decent range ones for just a bit cheaper…

    It’s minimum like $30k right now and that’s just too much for most

    Plus a lot of people still don’t have anywhere to charge them.

    Otherwise I’d have liked to have gotten one

          Am wondering if the new ones can actually fit someone who is 6 feet tall in the back seat without them having to hunch over

        Really? Can you actually get them at MSRP in any decent amount of time?

        And is that federal? I thought Chevy ran out of their tax incentives…

          Not as of last January when I tried to buy one. I was able to test drive one and found it acceptable but it was the only one available, it was significantly over MSRP (it was Premier trim, so >$35k) and I could order one but they flat out told me I’d be waiting a minimum of five months.

          GM did run out, but the rules changed in 2023, so there is no more cap. GM and Tesla get the incentives again.
