I dig the Lightning of all the ones I've driven the best. Two year old examples can be had for $40-50K in Lariat or Platinum trim.

I'm seeing a lot more Lightnings lately. I wonder if my local dealer is finally matching other dealers deals? They were $6k more than I wanted to pay given the average sales cost at the time when I looked at an Extended Range XLT. Now I'm happy to have not went with a truck, but I was prepared to buy at that time.

I feel as if the dealers are still high on these. Not sure why they want to keep paying someone to spray them off with a pressure washer.
My figures come from auction results on cars and bids.com.
Yeah I think you're right. I think at the time an XLT Extended Range was just under $52k out the door at most dealers and they were just under $57k. Sticker was $75k. It was just still more than I wanted to spend. I personally think I got a lot more for my money with the Model Y Performance at $43k OTD, but it's not a truck if I wanted a truck.
Few wealthy won’t buy it in 5% will buy it. These will be bought by those who finance
Remember, GM is spending billions to expand its battery production capacity. Profits from these vehicles are funding that effort.
They'll be corporate leases.
I could be wrong because I didn’t follow it that closely, but I believe Cadillac will be General Motors luxury electric vehicleline.
With that said, I believe on September 30 the electric vehicle market in the United States is going to get crushed! If someone thinks not giving people $7500 to buy a car and then taking away that incentive is not going to kill sales, well, I could be wrong, but I got a bridge to sell you.
The thing is with the Cadillac luxury vehicle line. It should not affect sales and I believe they will continue to prosper.
Who knows but it’s going to be a lot of fun watching how this all pans out starting October 1!
I can’t wait until 2026 to see the fourth quarter electric vehicle sales number in the United States
