New estimate car

I think it would be more accurate to say they are ‘developing’ electric trucks. Not actually offering them. Along with every other manufacturer who says they will offer something in the vocational (work) electric truck market. I’ve been eagerly awaiting this for several years :) really looking forward to purchasing the right work truck when it exists.

hmmm. Well, their website misled me. It appears you can order one today, but I haven’t gone through the ordering process, so maybe they take your money and deliver the truck years from now? I don’t know. @deevo , sorry to derail your sweet whip thread. Get on with your e$timate$, will ya!?

The electric vehicle market is riddled with the carcasses of companies who took deposits, made promises, and didn’t deliver. I’m as excited as you all are for an electric vehicle future, but I’m waiting until the trucks have been out a few years and proven viable and reliable.

Heard that loud and clear, and I’m with you. I know of too many horror stories of the public being the paying guinea pigs for unproven designs…emission system equipped diesels being the main hang up in their early days.

So cool. I was actually on an estimate with a client that owns one. I saw the car parked beneath a White Oak that he wants to preserve. I asked him how he likes his car and he didn’t skip a beat. He said “It’s amazing. Do you want to drive it?” I said “Uhhhhh, ok!”

I pulled out of the driveway and he says “now just put your foot all the way to the floor.” Again, I said “Uhhhhh, ok!” I was in disbelief. I’ve never been in anything faster. It was after that when I saw that PACCAR (Kenworth & Peterbilt) are now currently offering electric trucks. I wondered if I could go 100% electric.

Do you know what he had? My first was a Model Y, my current is a Model S.

I've given a bunch of rides in mine, but only a couple people have driven the S.

Have you found something to flat tow?

I have a 2003 Chev Tracker 4wdAuto. The Suzuki-made vehicles are a bit cultish especially since they’re not imported to US.

Has anyone got a Kia/Hundai that they’re concerned about? I’m thinking that ignition kill switches in my Tracker and camper would be prudent

Mine got hit in the rear and totaled out in December
Mostly important no one got hurt
but
Bummed me out no payments 39 mpg on 87 octane heated and coooled seats with leather all gone
ordered a bronco almost 10 months ago and still waiting
 
Wondering how a smaller car under 6,000lbs can compare to a over 6,000lbs pound suv/truck for tax purposes. Any body know the difference. Looking to buy/lease a company vehicle for my brother but I want to take advantage of the tax benefits aswell.

Thanks!

As far as I am aware, the weight should not make a difference if it is bought and owned by and used for only business purposes.

Call your accountant for a more definite answer though, he should know.

for income tax purposes, I think you are correct. However for registration fees, depending on the state they may increase for heavier vehicles.

I see. I guess Section 179 tax deduction got me confused. I'll talk to the accountant and get the low down. Figured you guys and gals have been there done that!

Thanks for the response.

I haven't. Since I'm already on a blanket overload permit, the permit office said I'd have to have a different permit and it would cancel the first. You can only hold one at a time. If I wasn't towing I'd be noncompliant with the permit and eligible for a ticket.

The law says if the company gives an employee a take home care, that gets valued as income and is taxable for the employee. They take that benefit and convert it to income and add it to your total yearly income.
