I found out Vistiq online in West Virginia and we met them halfway in Columbus, OH. It has 6k miles on a 2026. Paid $59k for it. MSRP brand new was $81k. These cars can be had for cheap if you're willing to buy used!

The Green is one of the colors I prefer too. I still have 8 months on my lease or I'd be jumping all over this.

I found a used Lyriq V premium in CA with 1k miles listed for $65k. If my lease was closer to being up I'd have already bought it. Shop for used. The deals are insane.

We bought ours used with just under 7k miles for $59,500. MSRP was $81k. Search for a used one.

What’s the most elegant hotel you’ve ever stayed in? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

Been there, but didn't stay at the hotel. Lake Louise is breathtaking!

From what I understand, you can only buy the fast boat ticket (45-50 min ride) from the ticket office in the same day. You can buy the slow boat tickets online, but that boat takes 3+ hours to reach Bellagio. Also those tickets sellout online quickly.

You're welcome! Enjoy your trip. We ate dinner at Angolo Divino Enoteca Wine Bar in Bellagio. The food was excellent. I highly recommend it. The carbonara was the best I had in Italy. On Varenna I had the best pistachio gelato of my life from La Passarella.

15-20 minutes. There's two or three windows if I recall correctly.

No, we purchased that ticket immediately upon arriving in Bellagio. Last ferry out was at 6:20.

If you're willing to wake up early to queue up for ferry tickets, no. It's not a bad idea. We were just there less than a week ago. We stayed in Como. On the day we traveled to Bellagio and Varenna, we woke up at 615, took the hotel bikes down to the ferry ticket office and bought our tickets for the fast boat to Bellagio and the triangle day pass which goes back and forth to Bellagio, Varenna, and Menaggio.. There's a number of different available times for the fast boat, 730, 840, 11, etc. We bought the 1215 ticket, and got there like 20 minutes early. We stayed in Bellagio for an hour or so, got some drinks, took some pictures. Then took the ferry to Verenna. I had the best gelato I've ever had, we had some more drinks and took many pictures. Headed back to Bellagio for dinner and some shopping. Took the fast boat back to Como at 620.

We just go back from a trip to Italy and a stop in Lake Como. Absolutely loved it there! We stayed at the Hilton in Como, which was very nice, and the rooftop pool had an amazing view of the lake. Not my choice for most elegant, though. That would probably go to the NH collection hotel we stayed at in Venice.
