I’ve been on the waitlist for a while now and it is about ready for delivery. I’m not sure that I’m ready (or that the world is ready) for all electric. Should I keep it, try to flip it immediately, test it for awhile then sell if I don’t like the hassle of charging, or tell them no and lose my deposit (at least $100 of it)?

Don't wreck it, or have anyone else hit it.

Can only imagine what insurance is on those.

Don’t go chicken shite and bail now. You decided to bite the bullet and jump on the woke EV bandwagon. Might as well see if you like it.

I am not a fan of EVs for their purpose (climate bullshite) or their practicality (lack of miles+charging time), but

this seems like the right answer for this particular vehicle. Give it a try. I believe the resale market holds these close to purchasing price

This reminds me of a few years ago when a bunch of dudes on social media put down a fully refundable $100 deposit for a Tesla Cybertruck and claimed they “bought a new Cybertruck”.

Also, get ready for EV bad because Libturd

Im not an EV guy but I bet you'd like it if you kept it. That said, I bet you could also sell it and make a little profit

That’s one of the best looking vehicles on the road. I’d drive it.

Looks pretty damn cool. I bet if the battery is low, like in most EVs, it should handle pretty well too.

Guy down the street from me has one and he absolutely loves his. He said that thing was fast as shite. Scary fast.


He pulls a pretty good size boat to the gulf with it as well.

I think my price is around 83, other folks reselling have them listed at 92 or so.

not yet, but I think they lose 30k for every vehicle sold - Lucid loses like 300k per vehicle sold.

Just looked those up.

At least Rivian looks good.

Lucid looks generic as hell.

I like how you strategically hid the queer af headlamps in that pic

it's like a chick who would be hot except she has a HUGE honkin nose
