I had something similar with green energy suppliers. I did keep them for two years, because I try to be more environmentally friendly. Eventually it was just too expensive to keep paying the rising electric costs.

Maybe when I own my own house, I can put in solar panels and be more energy friendly that way.

How many people actually work there now?

My eyes have been opened.

So I opened this account early last year when I moved to the area, and I recall being transferred to another person to be asked questions about energy suppliers that I honestly didn't fully understand, since I've never had an electric company that asked me such a thing. So through my ignorance I ended up with this supplier somehow, completely oblivious to the fact that I could have just said no, fuck off, I'll stick with DLC.

I'll be calling DLC first thing Monday and ditching Nextera.

That's why you don't use the third party suppliers. I had to threaten to call the cops on one to get them to leave my property. Then they threatened to keep coming back until we switched and told me how my elderly neighbors already switched to them. They're nothing but predatory companies that bank on people (especially the elderly) not noticing the hike.

This has turned into a huge mess. Years ago when they started allowing this, the idea was that "competition would bring the price down for everybody." Didn't really happen that way.

Gotta read the fine print

This exactly happened to my friend. He switched to a “green” third party supplier as a feel good move and noticed after a few months that his bill had gone from $300 a month to $1200 with zero changes in use. Highway robbery.

The lot doesn't matter when they're building the vehicle for you, to your spec.

The $2000 off MSRP was a standard incentive they were offering at the time. $2500 off an enclave, for example. They actually tried to pull it when my car came in, saying they weren't running it anymore. I told them they could keep the car and I'd go somewhere else.

The real negotiation was the 0% financing.

The goal here is to pit the manufacturer against the dealership. Imagine getting in touch with Subaru and saying "this dealership won't let me buy a car from you".

It’s typical for these 3rd party suppliers to hike your rate after the introductory period. I just stick with DLC as my supplier. I believe they charge .12 per kWh. Just easier for me to not have to continually check my 3rd party supplier price to save $10 a month.

Yes and that’s why you could negotiate off of the msrp… for a car that doesn’t stay on the lot of more than half a day there is no negotiating at the moment

I was trying to get a rav 4 and it was impossible. I moved down the line of similar model types that I would actually care to drive. Next one on the list bit.

If you refuse to look at other SUVs and all you want is a rav 4, you aren't getting a new car any time soon.

So that means you have your build code already? What is it?

Pretty bold to say any method besides yours is incorrect when you don’t even know how in demand the car you were purchasing was lmao

Fuck if I know. Forester sport.

This is the truth.

Good for you. This isn't happening in 2023 at least in my experience.

Uh. Don't stick with them. This is the danger of 3rd party suppliers - They give you a teaser rate and then people don't tend to read letters like this and then next thing they know they've been paying exorbitant prices for months. Switch back to Duquesne Light. It'll be cheaper.

I just got some sheets of stickers and a couple of magnets when I went to the pharmacy for my covid booster!! Free!

The failed to raise additional funding in this environment , so laid off pretty much everyone but core engineering

They have multiple multi - year contracts in place with some of the largest carriers, if they can ever get over the finish line.

We are not shutting down,” company co-founder and CEO Çetin Meriçli told FreightWaves in an email late Friday. “We did reduce most of our non-engineering headcount in the face of economic headwinds.

“Unfortunately, we had an employee give an unauthorized and inaccurate quote, and despite providing further information, the original story ran anyway.”

Must not have been an in demand car then

I bought my Crosstrek 2 years ago at South Hills Subaru and it was generally a positive experience. At that point, we were able to negotiate a bit, but that was within the context of my brother and I both buying cars at the same time, and my sense is that that might not be as possible right now regardless due to availability of vehicles. My brother (also bought a Crosstrek) opted for the lifetime oil changes, which I kind of regret not doing.

I had a negative sales experience at the Monroeville Cochran as well as an abysmal subsequent service experience there, and would recommend against them.

Go to Ohio. I got my 2022 Impreza for 4k cheaper over there than anywhere I could find in PA a year and a half ago.
