Congrats! I don't see many of those around.

Nice.  What's the e-range on it?  How much did it cost?  How long will it take to charge?

Officially, 32KM of range but folks on C-Max forums have said they can get up to 48KM on a full charge, and doing well with regen.  The MyFord app has a neat leaderboard feature that shows how many gas-free KM's people have traveled and the dude in 1st place has gone 4094 KM on electricity without filling up.

Sticker was 37,000 or so, but with $7730 of incentives and Ford's employee pricing, and Costco discount it was around 28K. Out the door price after tax, trade and all incentives was 33K because we lost $$$ on the Jeep.

Charge time is 2.5 hours on a level 2, and 7 to 8 hours on a regular 110V plug.

Me neither. The dealer had about 25 of them a month ago and now they have 2 left. They said they sell C-Max's quickly, but overall, I don't think they sell a lot of these since the range isn't all that good.

Wow, so $10k cheaper than the Prius Prime that was just reviewed.  That's significant.  It looks a helluva lot nicer, too.

Congrats! I've driven three of these so far and liked them all.

There are tons of them in the Greater Montreal

[ltruong]

Congrats!! I will have to check those out

[carcrazed]

Congrats!  I saw one in dark grey at a local mall the other day.  It was a family of five that was getting into it.  I didn't get a long look as I was walking to my car because it was pouring rain that day.

What does everyone think about the new Nissan Leaf?

[Guy]

It should be a winner. Nissan already sold 9,000 of these in Japan and Europe. Will be available here Feb-March 2018.

Reports from local dealers in Toronto area, around 100 reservations at dealers across GTA according to redflagdeals thread feedback.

I like it. It'll be a consideration to replace the A3 when the lease is up.

One of the guys in my seniors cycling group just ordered a new Tesla S, with most of the bells and whistles.
He said it will cost him close to $200K.  Can that be true?

Very nice - I've seen a few C-Maxes around Ottawa.

WHY GOD WHY? 200k?? He could have a Miata, <insert extra desirable vehicle we always tell people to buy> AND a Corolla!

Port Hope Hyundai is now selling the Ioniq EV demo we asked about over a month ago. Dude's called twice and emailed twice since last week "we have a long list of people who want this car so call with a deposit before it's gone!"

It's listed for 39K, but I'm guessing since it's a demo it's not going to qualify for the 14K incentive. I think it only applies to the first registered owner, not demos or used EVs.

If the dealer already pocketed the incentive he should pass it on to you. You should ask what is the status of the incentive.

[EV Dan]

That's one shady, old school dealer. "Long list of ppl" FFS!

Should be 39k+tax less EV credits (14k?) and probably another 10k less for it being a demo AND because long range EVs are just around the corner, from Hyundai as well.
