I also just pulled the trigger - late last night. Don’t have pre-hike pricing just a matter of cost; found a DM Standard+ with Forest interior that felt like the right balance between what I wanted and willingness to pay.
so, I have the VIN and a guide’s contact. I’ve waited so far to see if...
Especially in the R1S shop, I see there are additional incentives for leasing a Quad motor vs a Dual Motor. Has anyone noticed this or know what it could be? Just a higher residual?
Ah, max pack. Well good luck with everything! Hope it works out.
Also, I just did a quick check on the shop - there is a Forest Green 20” PDM Max in the shop. Have you tried calling the guide and asking if the wheels can be swapped for you? I hear (elsewhere on this forum) talk of color and...
Isn’t “until Sep 30” the notice?
also, not blaming you, but do you have a very specific config at pre-hike price? I wonder how many (out of total deliveries) have such hard to make configs…
huh, I was somehow thinking, “here comes another price hike”. Kinda makes sense to me that they’d rid of...
Apparently, they started making some of those configs and got put on the shop, per the rep I spoke to.
standard pack in general will be available for config in “anytime in 4-6 weeks” ?
What I don’t get is how can I not configure a Standard battery pack for myself but can pick what someone else presumably built but eventually gave up, from the shop?
meaning, the buyout after 3 yr is negotiable? Or safe to assume so?
this I agree 100%. Budget for a finance situation and go for the lease (at present rates atleast) would be my advice
what’s the “benefit” here? You are obviously paying up ahead of time in loan scenario.
isn’t that also for sub 80k prices?
In 8 yrs I’ve driven my ICE only 65k miles. 10k a year is sufficient for me. Will lower mileage mean lower rent/depreciation and hence lower money factor?
Yeah, I see what you mean. End of the day, despite the Volvo brand, the fully electric platform is new for any company and hasn’t been “proven” yet. I think that takes about a year and I will need a car before that
I think they are. Atleast that’s what my question assumed. All purpose and other modes always engage all the motors - which I think is what causes the lower range.
The DM is specifically designed to do that and engage in a smooth fashion, providing a torque curve as opposed to a bump when...
