Tax credit removal

Around here they will just laugh in your face and say, "Thats fine. The next person will buy it."

At which point I just tell them good luck with that and leave. Last sales engagement I terminated like that was in December and it gave me great pleasure seeing several voicemails on my phone from that guy trying to make a deal. No thanks, already bought something else.

I’m just so glad I don’t have to deal with any of that with my Scout. Thank goodness.

I was expecting it would get removed anyways. The only thing I'm weary of is if another administration comes in and introduces them again after I've purchased (this happened when I bought my Tesla in 2022) which would be very annoying. It currently says $50,000 with incentives for Traveler and $51,500 for Terra so I assume now it will be $57,500 and $59,000 with the credits gone. Only thing it might impact for me is the spec I end up getting. I'm hoping to not spend more than $70,000 if I can help it which might mean a couple of things I want may need to be sacrificed, time will tell.

100% agree on all your statements. Glad I’m not the only one worried I’ll get hosed out of money right after I buy a Scout

I hate stuff like that, I've used a configurator before where there was one additional thing I would have wanted but I could only get it in a package that cost over $6,000. Another thing on a similar topic, I also really hate when I pick an exterior color that I like and then when I go to pick an interior color I like it says not available with the current paint selection, so I either need an exterior color I don't want, or an interior color I don't want, why can't I just pick the colors I want!

Same boat. Despise that approach

If yall are patient, maybe a lease would be a better avenue when Scout makes that available.

That way you dont take that hit of depreciation if there is a political shift and EVs get subsidies again.

I am going to purchase mine because I am not as concerned about resale value. Whatever I buy is going to be driven until the wheels fall off. I have 4 kids and they will be inheriting my wife and I's hand-me-downs.

As a first year member I hope that translates to an early edition or a launch version and I will not want to give that up. My goal is to be buried in my Scout. But as mentioned the other day. If someone thought mine was amazing enough to pay me $10-$15K more than I paid I’d have to consider it. That would pay for my Karman Ghia convertible . But if launch is special and limited I wouldn’t want to miss out on that

I’m sure there are people on here who would like to lease. That’s isn’t me. Im planning on keeping my Scout till my kids take my keys away and then my kids or grandkids can have her.

It would take a lot more than $10 or $15 for me. Double I might think about it. But if she’s a special launch color or something then nope double isn’t even enough. She’s mine.
