Any recommendations on service centers that offer life time wheel alignment for Tesla Model Y?

If you compare the dollar per mile spent on the gas of the Prius and electricity of the Tesla, you actually save more money driving the Prius
own a 2011 Prius and 2023 Y Long Range. The best thing about the Tesla is the auto steer (comes standard) which is the poor man's auto pilot. Aside from that there's not many advantages to me only that I hate getting gas (LA area) so charging at home overnight is nice.

Sorry, wasn't really commenting on your post, just commenting on lumping Google in with the others. My bad.

Also, yes there are alternatives but my point was the massive amount of effort and money it costs to bring, by orders of magnitude, better and more popular products than those you mentioned and the only exchange is your data (not a product purchase).

I don't think we actually disagree on anything, other than Waze being a competitor because Google acquired Waze years ago.
Hahaha my bad, I didn't know Google bought waze. I do understand Google's business model and understand their free products come with a price which is the data they collect.

I work with Google analytics data and actually privacy has increased in the last two years. We used to have access to Google's cookies, which was originally doubleclick. Now they are restricted. The cookies were only used to measure marketing effectiveness or retargeting, nothing nefarious

My point was Teslas behavior in regards to customer videos is reprehensible.

Quote from MoisesA7010 :
See bruh, you are exactly what many described here about Tesla owners. Never want to admit the negatives and making excuses for things.

BUY something when you already spent $50K+ on the vehicle when $20K vehicles come with it standard.

Making excuse for the lack being able to drive 300 miles going 75mph but telling us to just accept it and deal with it seriously? That doesn't solve the limitation. Seriously not everybody wants to stop 20-40mins

PGE will continue to raise rates in CA, NEM 3 is in effect and purchasing solar ROI is longer or not worth it. The gas prices have fluctuated, and when it dipped in the low 3s, all of a sudden the Tesla crowd grew quiet with that line you used. Yet electricity rates have and continue to go up. Supercharging rates are going up.

Your narrowminded view is showing your hurt by the truth of Teslas today and as more people are starting to see it and the boujee rep of Tesla is starting to diminish you are throwing outlandish reasoning and trying to use your acceptance as the view for everyone in the world?

Please bruh.

EV is the future but not now. It's still in it's infancy and its nice to watch you and the others do the preliminary testing of it. EVs wont be mainstream until it can achieve 500 mile range going 75mph in ideal conditions, because when its not, cold, battery degradation, accessories on etc, it will offset and still get 300 miles. Now getting 200-220 miles is the more norm for those who actually drive and use it everyday for all scenarios. And at $50K+ that isnt cost effective compared to ICE

If its your weekend warrior car for fun or quick sprints sure, i see that like those who have a sports car or something, but for daily driver--again for all occasions, ICE is still better
I mentioned some negatives. ICE is nowhere as good. Not even ballpark.

So you're saying full 360 dashcam, auto driving, remote app access/control, a 15" control touchscreen, panoramic sunscreen, visual parking assist, turn signal cameras, native app access, security cameras, ability to fuel up at home, wifi, and in-home service are standard? Because my Audi that I just turned in had zero of those things and cost $15k more, plus the added cost of gas vs. electric.

I know for a fact you don't own one and have never driven one.

I'm not in the cult. I hate that aspect of the car and almost didn't get one because of it. But at the end of the day, it blows any other car out of the water for the same or even higher price. I'm referring to the 3, dunno about the others.

That's a good question many Tesla owners live in liberal areas. We shall see.

The owner of the SF Giants is ultra right and people still go to the games. Although he's not constantly showing his a$$ like musk

Didn't those things spontaneously combust?
Hopefully not with you in it, because the fire department won't be able to open the doors and you will be burned alive.

But I'm wondering what happened to the $20k car that Elon promised.

Until electric cars are cheap enough for the mass market, ( and they should be because it's just batteries and an electric motor) they are all hype for people who have extra money to waste.

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

Only RWD with LFP battery because that's made in china by CATL.
The performance model 3 battery is made in the USA.

Quote from FabulousClover1087 :
Not disagreeing but over 40% of households didn't pay tax last year. If you have other deductions/credits which result in zero tax liability can you still get the credit?

In total, about 59.9 percent of U.S. households paid income tax in 2022. The remaining 40.1 percent of households paid no individual income tax

Sure- but only below about 40k in total income did a majority owe no income tax.

I'm sure there's SOMEBODY making under 40k but buying a $40,000 new car but I don't think it's a large enough # to be worth talking much about. But they would indeed get no credit since they have no tax burden to credit against.

The vast, vast, vast, majority of anybody buying a new car does not have $0 in tax liability though.


In 2021 the average amount of federal income tax paid nationally was $13,472- nearly double the size of the $7500 tax credit here.

Even going state by state the average was higher than $7500 EVERYWHERE including the "poorest" state by this measure- Mississippi- where the average tax bill was $7890.... and in about 3/4ths of states it was north of 10k.




Quote from WiseLeopard609 :

When did he do that?

He promised a 35k car--- which Tesla began delivering in spring 2019... (and a better version of which you can get TODAY in the RWD Model 3 with $7500 federal credit... even cheaper if your state has credits).

Can't recall him promising to have delivered a 20k car by now though--do you have a source for your claim?


Quote from WiseLeopard609 :
the fire department won't be able to open the doors and you will be burned alive..

Both the 3 and Y have mechanical door handles on the exterior that open the doors just fine if the car is unlocked like any other car.

Of course if the mechanical lock is damaged from an accident they'd need to break the window to get you out... again just like any other car.


But as mentioned before- EVs catch on fire anywhere from 10-100x times less often than gasoline cars, but much less a concern with one.


Quote from WiseLeopard609 :

Which they already are.

With the tax credit EVERY trim of the Y and 3 are now available below the average price of a new car in the US today.... as much as ~$15,000 below for the RWD Model 3 at the moment...(and cheaper still in states with EV credits)

Other EVs are even cheaper than that (some getting down to HALF the average new car price with the tax credit- though obviously they have less range, performance, and features than Tesla offfers)

Model 3 Standard Range only. The Performance and Long Range will still qualify for the $7500 tax rebate.

I bought my wife a 2023 Tesla Model Y LR. Had many issues but they took care of all issues. Would buy again. In California, u can get $2000 refund plus the federal $7500 credit. It's worth it with all discounts and save $ on gas. Let's see on things plan out after warranty expires for EV cars. Is it like BMW or Toyota cars after 50k miles?
Sorry, there shouldn't be MANY issues with any brand new car, especially one that isn't cheap. Tesla has shit QC. I hate that in any product, even a $10 kitchen tool. That's why I won't reward them with any of my money.

Tesla nickels and dimes you. You have to pay for mobile charger, charger installation, non-refundable order fee, extra delivery fee, etc. It adds up. Chevy doesn't make you pay for any of that.

So does Mercedes, bmw, Lexus, Cadillac..that's the luxury car sales model

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.

LOL not the same car. Not even close

Yes, they give you free installation of NEMA14-50 outlet. Also, the Tesla charger only works on Tesla unless you pay extra $$$ for an adapter to use on other cars.
Tesla has the best chargers and most robust charging system, bar none. Not to mention your talking about a $25 adapter.

Like I said, not disagreeing with you. There are some credits which can be taken advantage of with zero tax liability like eic. There are also rich people with zero tax liability in certain years, it's good they don't qualify. I appreciate the informed response.

But 😭😭 I pay way to much tax for someone who spends the majority of their time outside the US.

Tesla cars work great. Ask owners.
