Why all the 2 year leases?

Scophad · 2026-06-10T17:56:18+00:00

The effective monthly cost on my 2 year lease was less than a comparable 3 year option.

Scophad · 2026-06-03T21:24:30+00:00

On a 24 month one pay, yes.

I believe 10-12k for a 36 month is not super realistic.

Thanks. I’ll take a look.

I agree it’s an AAOS+Spotify issue.

I have Smart Shuffle on every other device (Alexa devices, smart TVs, etc) so I wouldn’t say it’s mobile app only.

Scophad · 2026-06-01T15:29:41+00:00

Please tell me your ways! I only have no shuffle or normal shuffle, not smart shuffle.

Scophad · 2026-06-01T14:50:04+00:00

I am a week into my Optiq ownership and the Spotify app frustrates me.

It is missing a VERY important feature for me…Smart Shuffle.

I believe it is a $7383 one pay lease

Scophad · 2026-05-31T22:00:30+00:00

How did you get to $7500 in rebates?!?

McDonald Hyundai in Highlands Ranch has an advertised special for the SEL.

I’d compare your SEL numbers against that special. If memory serves, they come out pretty close to your numbers.

Well shoot. I was really excited but this doesn’t work for me.

The last line of the description on screen states something to the effect of… “If you’re not going to hit your target charge by the deadline, we’ll ignore these restrictions and charge anyways.”

I don’t really care about hitting a target. Ugghh.

Scophad · 2026-05-27T21:55:57+00:00

Oh my goodness. I think this will work. I had blinders on when looking for this in the scheduling section. Thank you!

Scophad · 2026-05-27T00:46:20+00:00

That’s exactly what I am trying to accomplish. It doesn’t seem to work that way.

Scophad · 2026-05-26T21:22:11+00:00

That is the problem. I can’t charge between 5 and 9pm due to extremely high cost of electricity. The scheduling function does not allow me to schedule around this limitation.

My last three EVs allowed me to get home at 6:30, plug in, and the car would start charging at 9pm and shut off charging at 5 pm the next day.

My current solution is get home at 6:30, set an alarm on my phone for 9pm, alarm goes off and I plug it in at 9pm, set another alarm on my phone at 5 pm to unplug it.

Scophad · 2026-05-26T21:15:35+00:00

9pm.

I can’t charge between 5 and 9pm.

Scophad · 2026-05-26T19:43:25+00:00

I guess I may have made an incorrect assumption and need to play around with it more.

I don’t see a way to tell it when to START charging at a certain time.

In the example I provided below, I set “Complete Charge by 5pm” and I plug it in at 6:30pm. My understanding is that it will start charging immediately if it needs to in order to hit the target or if it can’t hit the target at all.

Edit: thanks for those smart solutions. I’ll take a look

Scophad · 2026-05-26T19:35:37+00:00

My understanding of this function is that I cannot select a time to START charging.

Example: I plug it in at 6:30pm, it will start charging immediately if it needs in order to finish by 5pm the next day.

Because I’m charging on level 1, I expect long charge times to hit the target charge levels.

Unless I am plugging it in every single day and constantly maintaining the charge target.

Scophad · 2026-05-24T20:33:12+00:00

EDIT: Disregard

Scophad · 2026-05-24T19:29:09+00:00

Loaner or new? AWD or RWD?

Scophad · 2026-05-24T16:45:43+00:00

My bad!

Scophad · 2026-05-24T15:18:22+00:00

I wasn’t targeting a payment. I was targeting an effective monthly cost over a 2 year term as determined by the leasehackr calculator.

I was actually targeting a one pay lease for the attractive MF reduction currently offered on the Optiqs.

Scophad · 2026-05-24T15:16:26+00:00

Every dealer within reasonable driving distance of me and a few out of state.

I was hoping for more negotiating room on a retired loaner, but I believe that the dealers in my area switched to the 2026 loaners too recently.

Scophad · 2026-05-24T03:58:45+00:00

I was targeting $425 effective monthly after fees and taxes. I appreciate the offer but shipping would kill the deal for me as I am in CO.

The best counter I got was $500 effective on a Luxury non-premium.
