Quote from Knightshade :
Curb weight on a model 3 varies from ~3650 to ~4250 depending on trim.

Subarus EV (the Solterra) is a hundreds of pounds heavier at 4365-4505...while still offering vastly inferior range and performance to the Tesla.





That why they are useful.

They present the facts on the brand as a whole rather than "one anecdotal story from a guy"

Tesla owners, as a whole, are more satisfied with their cars than any other brand.




Why did you accept delivery of a car you weren't satisfied with?





Range anxiety isn't real unless you're routinely driving 5-10x more miles a day than the average driver, or you're also anxious about being hit by meteors.







LOL.

Rivian lost 6.8 billion dollars last year... and still only managed to deliver a little under 8000 trucks in Q1 of this year (which is about how many Tesla delivered in under 48 hours the same quarter).... and sells their trucks for less than it costs them to make them.


They're legitimately nice trucks but there's a very real chance they won't even be in business in a few years- they've done a horrible job with the actual "running a business" part of having a car company.

Hah, sometimes you feel it when you use it for longer than just test drive. Most of it is just hype. And now you will say, Tesla don't do marketing and sponsor those surveys. Sure.

They are lowering prices because nobody wants a Tesla..

Then it's really weird they just posted, yet again, a record quarter for sales and deliveries.


You seem to post a lot of demonstrably false stuff my dude.


BTW since you asked where the 4680s are, Tesla just, today, opened up general ordering of the standard range AWD Model Y.

Which is built in Austin, with 4680s.

Which means production has scaled enough they can throw open the order books for em.

Thanks for asking!

The only one slow is you.

The fix isnt in the battery. They are literally replacing it with same faulty battery.

Enjoy the cycle

Good luck

You are applauding a company selling you faulty batteries and then instead of fixing whats wrong with the battery itself, giving you another battery of the same. What went wrong with your first battery is going to go wrong with you replacement battery.

Dumbo lol

Actually I'm way further along when it comes to saving money by buying a Bolt and investing the 40k saved. How's that car payment? I bet you tell your friends about your shiny toy.

Well, yes, sure is correct.

The surveys are from people like Consumer Reports, JD Power, Edmunds, etc....

So no, Tesla does NOT "sponsor" those surveys.

On the contrary, the OTHER brands that came behind Tesla are the only ones who actually spend $ with the people who did those surveys. Tesla- as you correctly point out- does not.

So you get 2 choices really...


1) Believe the surveys are objective and ignore who spends $ with them. In which case Tesla coming in at #1 is useful info and tells you owners are quite happy.

or

2) Believe the surveys ARE influenced by the people who spend $ with those doing them. In which case Tesla coming in at #1 is AMAZINGLY good since they're not paying anybody for it, and is extra embarrassing for the brands who DID pay a bribe and STILL not score well enough to win!

I dont have to buy a cheap car with faulty battery that was replaced and rave about saving money. You didnt even know Chevy fleeced you by selling a car with bad batteries.

I own several cars including Teslas and ICE and have a lot more invested.

I am not sure what your point is lol

Also, for the record, my two Teslas have over 60,000 miles combined and never needed servicing while yours has already needed one battery replacement and many more to come. Yeah smart buy bubba.

Model S Plaid price is getting more attractive each week, but my m3p trade-in value is tanking hard. This makes it harder to justify the upgrade.

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.

well. it is available in China (33.8k) , in fact, model Y standard range in china is about 38k. so it is really has to do with import / export tax than anything else.

End of the day you have a Tesla. Embarrassing. Do you have Russian flags on it as well?

Btw my Bolt never had any issues and the battery is great! Thanks

Put the money on Cybertruck instead. It will be a fun drive especially the quad motor version.

I have one on pre-order and delivery is slated to start end of this year or early next year.

Tesla does not import cars made in China to the US.... all US sold Teslas are manufacturing in California or Texas. China made cars are sold domestically in China, and also are the primary source of cars exported to locations other than North America (though the Berlin factory is slowly replacing exports to the EU over time with those cars being shifted to other, new-to-tesla, markets- for example deliveries to Thailand began recently)

That said, and as others have pointed out-you've been able to buy a $35,000 Model 3 many times over the years. At retail from Tesla without tax credit considerations from early 2019 through late 2020 for example. And now once again from ~Jan 1 to April 18 of this year with the $7500 tax credit.

You are driving a Chevy and talking about embarrassment? lol

At the end of the day you have a car with batteries that catches fire.

YOLO I guess lol

Tesla, Made in USA. One of mine manufactured in Texas, other in California. Proud to drive American tech that is revolutionizing EV industry, not just in terms of cars but manufacturing in USA as well.

Tesla manufacturing in next level. So much so that Toyota lauded it. But I wouldn't expect you to know because you are ignorant about most things including the car you drive.

Funny how Tesla owners defend their cars to the death even though they are at the bottom of the list of reliable cars. Just google it.
