I'm in a somewhat similar situation, however I haven't received a pick up date. I have not received an adjustment on my order yet either. I texted the Tesla service advisor just now and they confirmed the price will be adjusted when the VIN is assigned.
Here are the terms.

Basically, if your panel can handle the additional draw they will install a 40a breaker, line, and outlet it in the same structure that your main panel resides in. Or 1k of credit for "non-standard" install. I used that 1k and got a 60a breaker and the electrician hardwired a EVSE I bought. 11.5kW home charging, on Chevy FTW.
Warranty is 8 years/100k miles on the SR (higher on the LR) and guarantees you'll still have 70% of original range by the end of that period.
You're claiming you've only had it 3-4 years and 49k miles and only have 150 miles of total range (150*.8=your claimed 120) meaning you're under 70% of original range and would be entitled to a brand new battery.
Also as an FYI to others- they don't even use that battery pack in new cars anymore-- RWD Model 3s in the US use LFP cells now and have since late 2021.
I've had that fee show up as an estimate they want you to approve after you make the appointment in the app. But you can just ignore/not approve and they will still do the service.
It's there so they're covered if it turns out your problem isn't actually something the warranty would cover, but they don't not check if you don't pre-approve it.
Have you tried Hertz? They have model 3's for rent. It was only $45/day when I rented one.

As to the car itself, it works well for our situation (wife commutes 70 miles a day twice a week; I don't have a commute; charging station at house). The ride is noisy compared to prior luxury cars but just turn the radio up. I have to say the car does not feel as nimble as the Model S we rented in San Fran 4 years ago but steering is quick. The technology is not flawless. The lack of ultrasonic sensors in the bulbous Model Y requires a cautious approach to parking. Windshield wiper comes on when car is put into cruise control. Still working on solving that issue. But the seat and steering wheel warmers work quickly. Range is not an issue for us (no road trips yet) but if you follow the advice you effectively get 70% of the advertised range at best (don't charge above 80% for day to day driving and don't let the charge level fall below 10%). In the real world, I never let it get to around 10% anyway. When it gets below 35% or so, I will charge it back up. Better safe than sorry. Definitely don't miss the gas station.
Eliminating fossil fuels for vehicles is a very long term aspirational goal. Don't see us getting there over the next 10-20 years. The current range limitations of these vehicles (including sensitivity to cold weather and how fast you drive) makes this an impractical choice for all users. Also if 40% of the car buyers in the US switched to electric, I don't know whether our grids could meet the demand nor what impact on electricity prices all that demand would create. However, it is nice to drive something that is making a dent in the fossil fuel train. (More people driving a 55mpg 2023 Prius would also help.)
I own a Chevy bolt euv I bought last year new. Good little car so far with 15k on it. Sits me and the family, decent space. I just don't know about longevity but it cost 15k less than a Tesla at the time.
And unless you drove 200-300 miles AND forgot to charge, it's an utter and complete non-issue.
Still pretty easy to fix with 10 minutes at a supercharger on the way to the airport.
Or I guess if you're going away for 3 months just leave the car home and take an uber to the airport.
Sentry uses about 1 mile of range per hour. The shortest range car Tesla sells anymore is 272 miles. Most are in the 300-400 mile range.
But unlike the Tesla, there wasn't a hyperefficient HVAC system so I just had to deal with returning to a super hot car.
With the Tesla I can keep it cool (or just 3 minutes before I'm getting in, use the app to precool it to 70).
4. You will have the charger connected all the time because
Come home, park, plug in, forget about it.
This way the car is always ready to go next time, and you don't have any of the "forgot to charge" issue you describe.
"Plugged in" is not the same as "sucking full power constantly"
Stop when your battery is fairly low, then spend 10-15 minutes there, which will add ~150 miles of range, then get back on the road.
Assuming you left full, that'll get you ~500 miles of total travel in a day with just that single stop. ~600+ with a second 10-15 minute stop if you're driving an unusually long distance in a single day for some reason.
There's no reason AT ALL to stop for a full hour during a road trip in a Tesla unless you're stopping for some OTHER reason like a long sit-down meal.
Exactly the same as all of 2022s average.
And virtually identical to the average a couple years earlier.
Legacy car brands on the other hand average almost 60 days of inventory... with the BEST companies (Toyota) having "only" ~30 days- still double Teslas number. And the worst (folks like Jeep) having over 100 days of inventory sitting around.

Exactly. I didn't even want to get into the details that make it a better EV. It's easy enough to see how it justifies the price from simply running record acceleration from a production sedan let alone competing with cars magnitudes of order more expensive.
