Mach E totaled....what do I get instead?

[locks66]

Hoping this will start a conversation with those in the forum who have either swapped to something else or have another EV in their house


I'm a real estate agent that drives 3,000 miles a month.

Since buying my mach e gt I added a toddler to the mix..we also have 3 dogs. MN winters and a road trip to Chicago a few times a year.

Currently leaning slightly used EV9. They aren't dropping new ones on the market until the 2026s and that's supposed to be second half of the year.

R1s is hard to find a decent price used and all the 0% is on the 100k version.

Lightning they are dealing left and right on as the sales have plummeted.

Thanks in advance!

Personally, I'd get a Rally.

However, your requirements seem to be pushing you to a larger EV. I'd look at the new Hyundai Ioniq 9. It's like version 2.0 of the Kia EV-9.

If price is no object, the Lucid Gravity.

An EV9 would be at the top of my list, although I haven't investigated further.

We've been pretty happy with our Telluride after almost 100k miles, so the EV9 is on my radar. That said, I don't personally know anyone yet with the EV9 to give an honest review. I do know people with Rivians, and their feedback/reviews really make me want one.

If there was a financing deal on a gravity....my god.

Yeah I really want a rally, but my wife's car is a cx-5. We need at least one bigger car in the house these days. A stroller eats up the entire trunk

I think @generaltso picked up an EV9 and likes it a lot. ??

Yep, it's true.

I turn in my second Mache in June and I have the refreshed Model Y on order that should arrive before I have to return my car. I have loved both of my Mache's (Premium and GTPE) but I'm ready for a change. I'm pretty excited about the Tesla and the full self drive.

Yep, it's true.

I knew it had something to do with tasty chicken! ?️?

Korean EV depreciation is ROUGH.

Then again so are most EV's in general.

Yeah, that’s certainly not limited to Korean brands.

I heard from a buddy that GM is giving some incredible discounts on the Silverado EV right now. He said he leased one with an MSRP of $95,000 for only $15,000 down and $500 a month.

Since it's a lease, Chevy must be claiming and apparently passing on the $7,500 tax credit, but still, my Mach-E was $15,000 down with $450 a month with an MSRP of $51,500 (not counting $7,500 federal tax credit) for four years.

If trucks are your jam, I would strongly consider it.

Not typically cross-shopped against the Mach-E, but a EQE SUV seems like a nice "real estate agent" EV. The EV9 and/or Ioniq 9 being recommended above is probably a better fit for your toddler and dog needs. Volvo EX90 might be worth looking at.

There are some tremendous lease deals on GM EVs right now. Unfortunately OP drives 3,000 miles a month so leasing isn't going to work for him. The way GM structures their leases they definitely do not make good buy-out candidates.

An EV9 would be a better candidate for buy-out. Kia is offering $13k cash on certain leases and dealers are frequently taking 8%-10% off, so roughly $20k off MSRP looks possible depending on timing and negotiation skills.

That's what I did.
