I have colleagues who bought new EVs and made money selling them one year later, because the market was so wild back then. For a while you could still add some deductions here, some credit there, sell an old car and “girl math” your way to a “free car”. Now people are surprised pikachu when the bubble has burst.
I know of someone who sold their _place in the queue_ to get a new RAV4 Hybrid and made 8K on the deal, while actualy delivery of the car was still tow months out.
