Tesla Model Y standard range available for $39,990, 7 seat config released as $3000 option
$39,990.00
There is a more affordable variant of the Tesla Model Y available. Now starts at $39,990 ($2k price cut) for a RWD 244 mile version. Those in CA will get $1500 additional off at time of purchase bringing it to $38,490 from Clean Fuel Reward (no income limits).. Some may also be eligible for the $2000 CVRP rebate but there are income limits. For those out of CA your state may also have additional incentives, I believe NJ had $5000 off (expired for now but may return) and you aren't charged tax on an ev making it an even better deal. The 7 seat config has been released as a $3000 option.

Checked this vs a comparable small SUV (this and the MachE are basically cars with fat asses that are wannabe SUVs), and the cost per mile driven would be exactly the same for me (7 cents/mile, and that's with home charging - superchargers would make the EV more expensive to drive per mile than the ICE). PBP is infinity.

The pack size also affects the charging speed. Meaning if you have a 100kw pack you can charge each cell at the same rate as the 75kw pack, but as the 100 pack has more cells it will charge faster which means back on the road in less time for the range you need to get to the next supercharger.
The good news is they're software locked so you/future buyer can unlock the range for a fee
Is this possible with a Tesla? How many charging stops will I have to make?(and how long?)
Thanks!
Tesla has been profitable 7 of the last 9 quarters.
And could be even without tax credits.
In a couple weeks they announce Q4 earnings- they're likely be -extremely- profitable on top of said credits....
They were profitable ex credits (if you do the math honestly) in Q3.
They sold an extra 41,000 cars in Q4. With a gross profit per car of $12,200 (based on Q3 gross profit, probably higher in Q4).
That's 500 million dollars of additional gross profit Q4 over Q3.
That day was a couple of years ago.
Tesla has largely been reinvesting the profits into the company to build more factories and scale up though.
That's how growth companies work.
Amazon didn't post much profit at all for like 10 years when they were in hypergrowth- but their revenues were exploding, and once they had built "enough" with them their profits were likewise phenomenal.
Same thing here.
it's one of the reasons Tesla is worth so much more than other car companies.
They make 5-figure gross profits on each car they sell.
In contrast VW is losing almost $5000 for each ID.3 they sell.

There are a lot of variables in supercharging. Using absolute best case scenarios, even a V3 can only give you on the order of 25 miles/minute [motortrend.com] "refueling" (this is only for the initial charge.... charging is not linear, so as you charge more that average goes down). An ICE of comparable size is probably going to be at least double that, with more range to boot.
I would wait. Usually at the end of the quarter tesla adds perks to meet numbers. So right now is the absolute worst time to buy. Sure there is no guarantee they will offer perks, but historically they have like end of last quarter with 1 year free supercharging.
The other reasons are:
1) chinese model y have a few upgrades likely to migrate over to the north American model y soon like slightly better interiors and hepa filter.
2) tesla is still working out the issues with heat pump in harsh winter temperature. There have been reports the heat pump failing in really low temperature.
Can I ask what the slightly better interiors includes? Also, thank you for the recommendation to wait and the info about the previous 1 year supercharging perk.

Not knowing where in FL you are going let's pick Orlando for the hell of it. Performance model, 21hr 4 min, 1092 miles, 6 stops, 4.5 hours of that charging. LR doesn't really buy you charging time and ironically is telling me 7 stops not 6.
Same route in an ICE (the route itself looks pretty direct, meaning it doesn't appear you take any real crazy detours to get to a supercharger) you might skate with a single fill up, depending on your car. Bottom line is that EV's in general aren't great for long hauls because their range is relatively low and refueling rate rather atrocious. Not impossible, just you'll be spending a lot of time killing at charging stations.
Tesla took most of that margin and reinvested it into building new production facilities so they can continue growing production and volume.
if they'd just sold those 500k cars, and NOT also been building 2 new factories ((and other future revenue stuff like R&D, etc) then yes, you'd see massive massive profit THIS year.
But that's dumb.
If you're making 12k margin on every car you should dump as much as possible into making MORE cars for as long as demand exceeds supply (which is a lot of years into the future at this rate)

We want a Model Y and a 3rd row, but visually the car looks tiny!
