2024 BMW i4 eDrive40 — would a major price cut make you worry about resale?

A manufacturer cutting MSRP or adding huge incentives is great if you're buying now, but painful for recent buyers. How much do you factor future price cuts into EV/luxury-car decisions? Appreciate any ideas on what to check first.

Low-voltage gremlins will strand you even with a full pack. Try a second charger before blaming the 2024 BMW i4 — site sharing and pack temp change the curve a lot. Then you'll know the next fork. This is from a 2024 BMW i4 in Portland. Have you gotten a second quote in writing? I've seen both outcomes, which is why I'd test instead of assume. If the story changes I'll post the new data.

It did would a major price cut make you twice this week, both times after sitting. No change in mileage feel. I keep a notes app thread for this now.

Don't clear the alert just to make the screen pretty. Leave the alerts on the 2024 BMW i4 so service can see what you saw. Then you'll know the next fork. This is from a 2024 BMW i4 in Portland. When does it actually happen? Next check is the cheap one I can do in a driveway.

Charge curves lie if you don't match starting SOC and temp. Match starting SOC and battery temp if you're comparing 2024 BMW i4 charge sessions. Then you'll know the next fork. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' I'd rather pay for diagnosis than a second guess-repair.

I'd treat 12V warnings as a no-ignore. On the 2024 BMW i4, I'd get the 12V/DC-DC side checked even if the traction pack looks fine. That's where I'd start. On “would a major price cut make you,” that was the fork that mattered for me. This is from a 2024 BMW i4 in Portland. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.
