If you want to unleash the true power of Tesla, go solar.

With solar panels and level 2 home charger, the sun powers both my EVs and both cars are charged and ready to go every time they leave the garage, and they use the power efficiently while driving.

And when I need on the fly charging, tesla Supercharger is always available within 10-15 mins of wherever I am but more importantly, they will be working when I arrive at the location.

Get a heat pump as well. Plenty of federal and state incentives on those and once again run it off Solar.

I have a Chevy Bolt EUV, so maybe mine is different. Yes, best car I've ever had, and I've had 20+ ICE cars in my life. Some were fairly nice and well over my EUV's ($34K/loaded Premier) price point.

I don't notice any inherent battery drain. Unless you live in an area where it is super hot (>90F) or very cold (<10F) and maybe the battery is managing temperature, small lights etc. (when off) run off the 12V accessory battery, just like an ICE car.

I have an actual openable moonroof in my EUV with a retractable shade, but yes the fixed roof with no shade sounds stupid in very hot sun, but I've heard you can ceramic tint that glass to block much of that.

Yes, when it is below freezing you will lose between 15-30% depending on how cold it is. I live in NH, lowest my range gets is around 190 miles. And that is when it has been hovering around 5-10F.

Having said that, I will usually charge a few times a week, mostly the days I have driven 100+ miles for work. It is not difficult. This car replaced my last ICE vehicle I thought I needed to keep around for longer range trips. I didn't. The average person drives 40 miles a day; a 200+ mile EV should be more than enough for most.

But, I don't road trip and I charge at home in my garage. They make planes to fly long distances (if you're in a hurry) and I installed solar panels (in my field) to further bring down my costs. You can't make your own gasoline in your yard, unless maybe you're in Texas living on an oil field…Having said that, charging an EV (especially at home) is much cheaper than gas, even without solar. And electric rates are much more stable.

EV destroys ICE all day. But I wouldn't buy a Tesla.

Are you Kara Swisher? She never stops talking about her Bolt.

Quote from Eagles89 :
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
The $7500 tax credit has been "going away" and "expiring" for the past 4 years. I purchased (and still LOVE) my Model 3 LR in 2018 and the annual threats of this tax credit is still available, for whatever reasons / excuses / incentives, yet, in 2023, here it is. Although I paid about $7K more than today's price, out the door, I will say, my 3.5 year old car is much "better" today than when I first purchased it (thanks to software updates). There are plenty of admirable BEVs out now but after 3 years of the competition & real technology availability, dollar for dollar, not many, if any, car companies can claim, nor prove they've got a better vehicle and support infrastructure than Tesla. They're still ahead of the curve.

I have a 2023 MYLR and 2022 model 3LR. being said my honest opinion is range is not 100% what they say but I charge both cars monthly my electric bill was $183 in Texas. I used to pay $200 in gas for each of my gas cars previously. There is savings on gas monthly. Car insurance is not that bad. Tesla customer service is the worst thing possible on phone and dealership level is like a headache. If you want luxury service at the dealership Tesla is not for you. Then again you won't be at the dealership doing $100+ oil changes every 3 months. Or paying hundreds of dollars for differential, transfer case fluid exchanges, transmission services, or oil leaks. Tesla does not require fluid exchanges except brake flush. Wipers suck on model 3 in heavy rain. Model y rear windshield with tinted glass you can not see out of rear view mirror as it autos dark. Tesla vision on 2023 models is horrible need updates. Get black seats! You can tint roof glass cheap on model 3 expensive on Y. I paid $290 to install charger and fast charger is $200 when you order a Tesla with a discount they send you. Not paying for gas has paid for it self already. Not having to wait at Costco to get gas is also another plus. Overall a better deal then most 40k cars. Camry and accord are about 38k now when you buy at dealer.

Very similar experience in my EUV in MN. I don't think battery management really kicks in until around low teens. I park in a garage at my home in an unheated garage. I follow the ABC advice, keep the battery happy at 80% charge, but when I am away from home I don't see any battery drain until we are at single digits above zero or maybe low teens. I previously had a Nissan Leaf and will that going from a vehicle with 80 miles of range in ideal weather to one that goes 200+ miles in the worst weather is a night and day experience. Range anxiety has not been a thing for me in the EUV.

Do you realize that after fed tax credit & state incentives a model3 would be as low as 31k. Seems pretty reasonable?!? For the safest vehicle on road🥹

Safest vehicle on the road, if fatality statistics mean anything, is any minivan. https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/...813152.pdf. If you are worried about dying in your car, don't speed, don't drive under the influence, wear your seatbelt, don't text and drive, and buy a minivan or SUV.

Mine got adjusted from &55k to $53k automatically by Tesla, didn't had to reach any customer service.
Agreed, because we were not invoiced yet, when we submitted our docs, the price got updated. However, if one was invoiced, adding that when we called Tesla Customer Support, they seemed to indicate, if not yet delivered then updated price will apply.

unlikely, these drops are to pump sales figures so that the stock price stays high. Honda is in it for the long game

Quote from pidge :
I don't get the hate that Tesla's get with regards to looks. I feel it is the best looking EV or at least right up there. If you are going to go for most efficient vehicle, the car bodies will all end up looking similar to each other. I do understand though if some people do not like the look of the interior.
I think ppl don't like that the exterior is never updated...most manufactures update the style every few years...cost more money to do that tho
