Was at locally Chevy Dealer this weekend looking at Colorados. Asked about the 10 Blazers EVs on lot and how they are selling. Salesman said “they are paperweights on the lot”. He mentioned how the local Cadillac dealer has 60% Lyriqs on lot. I checked the dealer and their inventory showed 21 Lyrics which was about 30% of their inventory. Ouch
You are right that EV sales are still a small slice of the market, but good news is good news.

"multimillionaires" likely won't qualify for any EV tax credit. There is an income threshold.

Lyriq is either #1 or #2 best selling luxury EV. I don't think the Blazers do nearly the volume. I've been watching the EV Blazers on the local lot and they tend to sit. IMO, there are lots of compelling EV choices out there and I feel like the EV Blazer is landing kind of like its ICE cousin did. It's just not a good value for the money?
