I'm curious how do you get 15K profit in this trade. Myself also got a good deal on 21 45e( 65K for a 82K fully optioned). But even if I trade in now, the value will likely be about $70K ( so $5K profit here). Then to buy a new 22 45e, I can no longer get the old deal - including 7.5K federal tax, I need to pay 75K for a similar config ( paying at MSRP). So basically for the same SUV ( though from 21 to 22), I end up paying 5K more ( though I do get one more year of warranty). I can understand you might get some % off MSRP for 2022 as well - but $15K profit seems too good to be true for me.
