Does anyone have a good basic tip on how to buy one at a discount?

Buy used, they devalue like rocks

I wouldn’t call them super cheap though they depreciate a lot from the new prices. Lots of quality ICE cars of similar age at lower prices, i.e. they are still expensive cars.

You can get fantastically good deals on used Fiskers. The company is bankrupt but there’s a lively community of owners and getting stuff like repair parts isn’t hard. I’m slightly tempted but only slightly. What I really want is an EV conversion for an old cargo van, so it would have very few computers inside.
