Also, I have to laugh that CR got kicked out of the vehicle. When I was at the show, I saw three different parties of attendees just move the barriers out of the way to get in the vehicle and the Jeep reps came over every time to tell them to get out. Kinda funny that CR did the same. I guess...
The only hope for this vehicle will be if Stellantis' captive finance arm decides to set the residual artificially high for lease deals to keep them competitive. No third-party leasing company is going to want to take a chance on getting burned like they are with all the 22/23 EV leases ending...
I think you're in the 99%. The two Recon models at the NY Auto Show this week show a $65K MSRP and knowing the current depreciation trend with EVs, I don't know anyone who is going to buy one at that price unless it's the EXACT vehicle they were looking for (who is that even)?
The real question...
