    The EV rebates are a joke though. I would imagine the lions share of new electric cars wouldn’t qualify.

      Uhhh… I got like 14k off the sticker price of my EV (Ioniq) in 2020 because of these… humourous(?) rebates.

      If you scrap a gas guzzler and buy a new EV, you buff your barter stats and end up maxing out your inventory space pretty quick.

      It’s possible they nerfed this hack in the latest release though.

        That’s actually awesome!

        The max MSRP for a car or SUV is $50k to qualify. I don’t think there would be a lot of SUV EV’s that would come in under that price point, especially with vehicle prices right now

          That’s excellent context, I’m 100% sure that due to the price reasons, I could not expect to have the same experience today that I did then (ie: end up in a car I wanted, and get a decent rebate).
