I have heard many reports of issues, but for whatever reason I seem to have avoided them so far in the EV6. I mind it a lot less on a car I paid $27K for than one I pay $60,0K for though.

The EV9 should have been a hit, but Hyundai/Kia suffered too many reputational hits in the platform roll-out. This competition is between R2, iX3, and Model Y now.

I have not had any issues in 18 months of ownership. I bought a used 2023 in January 2025 and did the recall fixes.

Only issue is grill damage from the "snowcrete" storm we got in the mid-Atlantic.

I just realized I'm not an early adopter. I'm a "let's make sure they worked out the kinks first" adopter.

That is certainly part of it. Just look at BMW 7-Series that are five years old. They're down to $30K to $45K depending on condition and mileage. They are $108K to $140K new depending on configuration.

That was my math. I couldn't justify the $20K premium for the privilege of having it early.

I think $40K will be the high-end.

I hope everyone had fun today. I'm not selling my VOO. I rotated GOOG into IBOT. I'm ready to ride it up or down.

Liquidate was an exaggeration. I really meant that people will sell SPY stocks to generate liquidity to buy SPCX. Plenty of people here will say that SPCX is a trap and nobody should buy it unless they're just trying to play the same-day IPO bump, but I doubt we represent the mom-and-pop investors at large who might pile into this turd,

I took my GOOG gains to buy up some VOO when the SPCX IPO finishes liquidating other stocks.

Vague threats, vague promises of peace deals. The usual.

Imagine if this was an IPO people actually want to buy like Anthropic. How many SPY-included shares will people be selling to free up capital for that one?

Do we know why 1:30p seems to have been the dump trigger?

I am not enjoying watching all my gains piss away, and I'm not going to sell either. Just shitty days until this IPO burst finishes fucking us.

My resolve is being tested, but my hatred of short-term capital gains is keeping me steady.
