- 2022 Mustang Mach e Premium
No EV6/Ioniq 5 have most features on the mid trim with tech package. The top trim gets you pop out door handles, a HUD, bigger wheels, sun/glass roof, different trim pieces.It still boils down to supply/demand/features. I looked at the EV6 and outside of the massively better charging, I think you're forced to get the Premium top of the line for any basic features like 360 camera. We all know about Tesla prices increases.
As for VW id4, the features are really really lacking with non-existent 1 pedal driving, bad display, no memory I don't think seats/mirrors, etc. Also, what's the supply/demand like? Remember, you simply can't find/buy any MME on dealer lots really at all. Not sure on other cars. I thikn Hyundai's are all sitting there, but there is a dealer ADM at all of them. But they still sit there.
I don't think the LFP will be in the 2023 model yet.
People who didn't think prices were going up by a decent amount for 2023 models were probably fooling themselves IMO. We all knew/stated prices were going to go up a decent chunk.
Pretty much all EVs (except for the Japanese brands) are in high demand. ID.4 is pretty well equipped base, screens aren't that bad just smaller, better UI design than the Koreans even (Though they've not been good at pushing updates). ID.4 is only really less equipped than top trims of Mach E or E-GMP cars (and has much better charging curve than Mach E).
they announced LFP for 2023 small battery pack, and the new order guide lists the 70kwh pack as having 150kw DCFC suggesting a change was made as it was 115KW before. Maybe that's not due to the new pack being in yet though it could be delayed but didn't see that stated.
Prices went up inexcusable high for not having anything new added or upgraded (in fact premiums had a feature removed despite the largest price increase in the lineup) and as stated before not all competitors did, some went down. I agree with others here this is more about cashing in on high demand than it is about actual product value.
It's also nearly impossible to find a Mach E on a lot without adm but some dealerships don't do it. Dealerships usually aren't exclusively one brand so that's not tied to the brands too much. Hyundai motor has also been outselling the Mach E (both models are at or slightly below the Mach E individually).I'm not so sure for the Korean brands. I follow some other car forums and it seems nearly impossible to find those without an ADM. I think they just make/bring over so few since they are all made in Korea I think that dealers just don't care.
