Funny thread; most posts are in one of two categories: 1) Clueless Tesla haters breathlessly spewing misinformation. 2) reasoned responses to #1 from Tesla owners setting the record straight (or at least pointing out the BS).

Sure, if you have $48,000 in cash laying around and can buy next week. I personally would go with the bolt. It's almost $20k cheaper and pretty much the same car.
Understatement of the year.

No doubt Bolt is a real value for money. And I've had 2 bolts in past.
But it's not "pretty much the same car", when compared to Tesla. But everyone can have their own opinion.
And why 100% cash, that's good enough time to get approved from Tesla finance and then re finance later
Why would one buy a car with the finance now and then refinance later mentality? There is no guarantee of lower rates in the future.

There's another $5000 in state credits available to low- and moderate-income Oregonians.





It's not.

It is, for ONE specific trim of the Model 3, being reduced to $3750 because the rules for qualification changed a bit.

For all other versions of Model 3- and all versions of Model Y- it remains at $7500.

Note many OTHER evs are losing at least $3750 (or all $7500 in some cases)--- the Mustang Mach E for example loses it across all versions of the vehicle.
Thank you. You're very knowledgeable.

Quote from IndigoCrowd556 :
The model Y did not have price reduction, That is a new model with smaller battery

I agree with this statement.

They just reduced some battery packs and created another option for $49,990.

Haha, nice to see another popular post about Tesla. I own a Model Y LR, I don't feel bad for the changes of the price. I kind hope Tesla keeps reducing the price, so that I don't have to pay as much when I get my next one.
Tesla is not the best car, but definitely decent EV. If you want to get a Mach-E/Ioniq5/EV6/ID4..., once you get to the trims that are equivalent to what Tesla offers, the price might be even higher. And you will have to deal with the car dealers who will ruin your excitement of getting a new car (and scam you lots of $$ if you are not careful).

I'm very much enjoying the comments here, all in the comfort of my ultra-luxe Audi e-Tron while charging at 150 kW in a warm San Diego afternoon. Keep 'em coming!

It's absolutely is. Name another 9.2 second 4 door sedan for the money. Hell, name me another 10 second sedan for that amount. There's nothing that touches its performance for the money.

I guess there are probably use cases for the delta between a 9.2 second 4DR sedan and a 14.0 second 4DR sedan, but I'm not sure whether any of them apply to many people.

Model 3 dropped $1000 BUT the $7500 tax credit is going away, so not really a price drop unless you have cash to buy one before April 18
You just need $1,000 and it's yours brah

Quote from garsh :
The credit is expected to drop from $7500 to $3750 for the RWD (base) Model 3 due to its battery coming from CATL.

All other versions of the Model 3 are still expected to retain the full $7500 credit, as their batteries are made in Nevada.
That's what I understood to happen as well.
It's that battery they use for the base model. (LFP I think?) It's from china

Quote from spec2 :
I wish that was true in a selfish kind of way, but it's not in my experience. I've been trying to buy a BMW X5 45e or 50e for a few weeks now but dealers are not budging much off MSRP because of supply/demand for those model & because the 45e still qualifies for the tax credit until the 17th. OTOH the gas-only X5 models can be had for 6-8% off MSRP.

I started looking at the Tesla Y because it seems like a better value vs an MSRP X5. Im not a fan of the Y's interior options. That, not $, is what holds me back. Also, unfortunately, the avg car costs $40-50K now out the door. $50K doesn't get you luxury anymore. Maybe near-luxury, but certainly the Model Y isn't luxurious like a Model S or X.

Why people keep saying 50k is avg price for a car, my prius prime was 32K. Here are some other cars you can buy for 32k that are reliable, great on gas, cheap to insure and wont take 30 mins to charge.

Toyota Rav4
Toyota Corolla
Honda Accord
Honda CRV
Mazda, etc…
