Default Anyone else put deposit on 557 hp Blazer SS EV?

I like the way it looks and 557hp has to be pretty fun. I have been driving a 363hp dual motor 3 series and it is damn fast.... excited to haul stuff and have 550+ HP.

I have a fairly early reservation on the dual motor Lyriq for the wife. Basically same-ish car as the Blazer SS, i believe.

Scot, You could have just hung on to your previous Blazer SS.

The rush to build the biggest, fastest, most pointless EV and for goobers to always buy these things is really obvious proof how useless EV are as a response to climate change.

Hopefully TN has more supply in their electrical grid than California, so you can actually charge the vehicle lol.

No. Chevy quality is gonna be just as shitty quality as ford. My Mach E quality is absolute garbage. It's funny because people talk about how bad Tesla QC and build quality is, but forget that all the American car makers have even worse build quality and horrible service centers. Warranty work was a pain in the ass @ Ford. I'm happy I sold it (also made about $15k selling it).

But can't complain about values. EVs are holding value really well. You can basically drive any of the newer EVs for a year for free.

Good to know I haven't heard anything either way about the Mach E quality. I'm not shopping for an electric car but being a car guy people always ask my opinion. I tend to recommend the Prius unless someone is looking for a large vehicle.

But Teslas are luxury vehicles so they're held to a higher standard.

Also note that I don't consider Teslas to be luxury vehicles so I find the above statement humorous.
