The Kia dealer that let me check out the EV9 was pretty good. I let them know off the bat that I wasn't buying today or in the near future and they just let me check out the car. No idea what the buying experience is like but they have pretty positive dealer reviews

I even offered up my Model Y and Polestar to people who don't want to run out to a dealership or a Tesla showroom. Complete silence. It actually makes me quite sad
Don't stress about it, people like what they like. It probably comes down often to what they liked about cars before EV's even existed.

I'm used to people not liking my interests or dismissing them before giving a chance(I like new Star Wars and the MCU, after all).

No, I get it. BTW, hated the new Star Wars, not a fan of the MCU, and don't get me started on Disney 🤣

May the Force be with you

Not a great deal. Lots onautotrader that are cheaper with lower miles and probably weren't thrashed like a rental.

Agreed. A friend of mine picked up a low mileage 2022 Model Y Performance, black for around $35k. It's in pristine condition

Yeah I don't have the room and that's not that big of a discount.

But more power to everyone else.

sales 'process' at my dealer is friendly but i definitely had to negotiate hard to not get ripped off. service is excellent.

ok but that's 10k more than the one AJT posted, so not exactly similar.

'thrashing' an ev doesn't make any difference.

You can make that 2. I would be driving one if they didn't play their typical BS games.
