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

[DesignMatters]

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.

Good reco, driving a Kia folks will think OP isn’t a very good/sucessful RE agent. MB is much better. Used Taycan GS even better.

That's a great point, I would +1 the idea that OP should get a new or pre-owned EQE SUV or BMW iX for the image in a profession where that matters.

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!

Consider a car based on GM's Ultium platform: Chevy Blazer, Honda Prologue or Caddy Lyriq. Decently sized and about 300 mile range. You can get 0% financing and other incentives on the Chevy and Honda.

I have the 4 door MME. plenty big enough for our 3 year old toddler and us.

True in some markets. Not true here. Also I have a kid and dogs and my clients are always made very aware

I understand that the Rivian might be out of the picture based on $$, but as someone who left the MME and went to an R1T, I can't tell you how happy I am. I would strongly consider it over the Lightning if it's a truck you're looking for. I have my name in the pot for an R2 as well.

The R1T is one of the best vehicles I've ever owned. I doubt I'll ever go back to Ford. My M3P is better than the MME in my opinion. There's quite a few members here who have switched to Rivian (I know because they used referral codes from me), and I don't think a single one of them would go back.

The hours, and quite possibly days, of my life that I've saved by not having to deal with a dealership is well worth every dime. 2 months ago Rivian called me and said, "we have a 12v battery that we want to proactively change on your vehicle based on data we received. Can we send a tech to your home to replace it?" The next day a technician came to my house, swapped the battery and I didn't pay for a thing. Ford would have waited until I was stranded, then told me they would replace it 2 months from now and make me pay for a loaner.

The hardest part with the Rivian isn't the payment of a used one (which I have found mainly on coasts) its that when I plug it into my insurance my monthly car insurance increases by $100 a month. (USAA)

I do need to shop my insurance this week as well.

I have $100 towards a scout. However I have no idea ow this car accident changes that timeline

Like you, I’ve had my First Edition since early February 2021. My son has been driving it since I bought a Silverado RST. The interior is huge and its 450 mile range is perfect.

I have the 4 door MME.

Is there any other kind of MME?

Rally not a 2 door? Never have seen those or the GT. Keep thinking 2 door. ??

I looked into a lightly used Rivian also, my insurance would have went up $138 a month....just was not worth it at that point
