And just on the news: the new administration is planning on cancelling the EV tax credits. I assume 2024 purchases would not be affected.

I am surprised that there isn't more interest in purchasing EVs given all indications that tax credits will be eliminated in the new year. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/15/...-trump-tax-credit.html?searchResultPosition=1
Or, is the i3 a niche EV given its range/size/price?

In SF Bay Area, there seem to be a lot of CPO and other off lease 2021 models available now. I think the 150 mile range deters BEV novices, as do more general newbie worries about battery health. Also Hyundai at least is offering some dirt cheap leases on their latest EVs.

I think people who have the money and/or needed a new car already pulled the trigger earlier this year (we did, going all electric by replacing our remaining ice car. And the constant negative media narrative on EVs has deterred a lot of people. Generally people aren’t buying cars of any kind as much currently. And awareness as to how cheap leases are currently seems to be low.

Still... hoping to find an i3 aficionado who will enjoy this spirited car.
