ZDX end of year sell-out

[Billj]

Here in Austin the ZDX has mostly sold-out. I was at the dealership yesterday to get a portable charger and they said they (and the other cross-town dealer) sold a ton in December. Seems everyone knows the $7,500 tax credit is likely to be yanked soon, so people were getting the car now. Nice to see, but first-quarter 2025 sales will probably revert back to the normal slow pace of sales for this car.

That's awesome to hear that it's selling well in Austin! Makes sense people are jumping on it while they can still get that $7,500 tax credit. It's good to see it's doing well, it's a pretty cool car. Hopefully, Acura keeps the deals coming so it doesn't slow down after the tax credit goes away.

Thanks for the info!

Why do you say that? I like to believe the tax credit wasn't the most decisional buying factor.

Well the dealer seems to think so. The threat of the cost going up $7,500 would certainly entice fence sitters to got and buy, and it did. Now the question is what happens next? As much as I love the car (and hate the lack of official SuperCharger access) we have to admit it is not selling in large volumes. And I wish that wasn't true.

It’s interesting how tax credits drive such a rush..Did the dealership mention if pre-orders for other models also spiked due to the looming change?

Why would pre-orders on other models spike? The tax credit applies only to the ZDX.

True, the tax credit only applies to the ZDX. I was curious if the change sparked more interest in EVs overall, not just the ZDX.

Unsure if it sparked interest in the other EVs, but would expect it to. I know a friend started looking for his second EV last month specifically because of this issue, but he did not buy anything.
