Tesla Sees 20,000 Model Ss Being Sold In 2013

Having driven a pickup truck for six years straight, and a string of sports cars before that (although I had the TDI Jetta) it's really nice to just drive a comfortable sedan. But then again, I am sixty damn years old. 

Agree on Delta.  Lesser of two evils.   

Like you the EV is good enough without all the complexity of having a generator built above the rear axle/electric motor for added maintenance. Based on my current experience with my EV9 I would have to say that not having a Legacy dealership is fine as maintenance is pretty much nonexistent. Repairs / replacement of worn-out parts as long as there are some places to take it, then I do not see an issue. I honestly think Scout will do what Tesla and Rivian has done and will have contracts with companies that cover not only warranty but any other service needs. An example of this is EV's Republic of California. Tesla Maintenance & Repair Services by EV’s Republic There are also a number of other companies that have contracts to cover service and as such can be found here: 3rd Party Tesla Service: Independent Repair Guide 2025 | Recharged Rivian is also signing agreements to expand their service / warranty network.

The EV9 Wind AWD with average transaction price of $62,500 is as close as you can get to a Telluride in the SX-Prestige X-Line trim with average transaction price of $54,200. Yes a difference of $8,300 which gets you a larger auto in the EV based on length and width. Telluride is taller. EV9 has more interior space. Yes the savings has not crossed the full cost of the auto but then the maintenance has not been figured in either, where Kia says every 7,500 miles for a proper synthetic oil change. As such, that would be 4 1/2 oil changes and here they average $100, so add $450 to the gas price, so approaching $5,000 pretty much I will be break even by the end of 2026 in how I see it. The benefit of never having to go to a gas station, no maintenance, it is still very simple for me and if you have no problem with used, then you can save a tone on a certified EV or certified ICE. I am seeing 2yr lease returns with very low miles at way less than the 2yr lease ice return. Thank you for the Tire info, I forgot when I just quickly looked at my paperwork from the free inspection they did and did the dumb stupid math of converting 6/32 to a percentage which is NOT how I should have done it. @Drew Dowdell Made a big mistake in tire life. 60% tire life left based on the new tread depth versus current tread depth. Just looked on the Hankook website for new tire information: Hankook iON evo AS SUV 275/50 R20 tire has a tread depth of 10/32 inches

Per Scout's own support site: They only address Apple Carplay   So I hit the chat button and they responded with the following: So at this point, AA/CP is not supported till they state it imo.
