1970 Datsun 240Z — would a large MSRP cut make you wait before buying?

1970 Datsun 240Z, about 202,000 miles. Price cuts and incentives are good for new buyers but can hit recent owners resale hard. How much do you consider potential manufacturer price moves when buying a newer EV or luxury car? I would rather test this logically than replace parts.

Don't clear the alert just to make the screen pretty. Leave the alerts on the 1970 Datsun 240Z so service can see what you saw. I'd do that before spending real money. Did the worksheet show tax yet? If the story changes I'll post the new data.

Asking because it changes the advice: Try a second charger before blaming the 1970 Datsun 240Z — site sharing and pack temp change the curve a lot. Then you'll know the next fork. I'd want that in writing, not as a promise. Not driving it hard until I know more.

Charge curves lie if you don't match starting SOC and temp. Match starting SOC and battery temp if you're comparing 1970 Datsun 240Z charge sessions. I'd do that before spending real money. Just my two cents from doing this recently. This is the version I'd tell a friend.
