Quote from ElatedSpaniel543 :
Nissan Leaf's have a truly hardcore following. I can't understand why Nissan haven't built a bigger range of EVs, like a mid-size.

They have Aria from this year on.
But I agree that the buttheads at Nissan couldn't capitalize on the EV lead they had. They had an EV on road 12 years back and never built on it.

It's very popular in Europe as well and they could have easily gained a big market share in Asian countries with marketing and consumer education.

I bought bolt recently and it sucks all the dealers are adding markups of $3K minimum.
Even if you are going for lower LT trim, it is base: $27800
Delivery $995
Minimum options I would go for comport, convenient and confidences packages which cost almost 2-3k
And sales tax varies for each state

If you want to go for higher premier, it costs
Base: $32000
Delivery:$995
As it includes all the LT trims optional packages and bird eye view
But no dealer has the base premier alone.. they add the sound package which $2500 and super cruise package:$2000

Additional the dealer stupids will not let you buy the car without additional dealer installed accessories costs minimum $2000

Comparatively PREMIER model is 90% tesla model3 now. And personally I feel Tesla better here because you don't need to bargain with dealers

Quote from DC13 :
Their margins are boasted by slave labor in China. People have no idea how cheap it is to make them over there. The margins will be gone because they are dropping prices at record levels in China as well because they just can't keep up with the likes of BYD or GM mini-EV over there. I suggest not buying one ever since the company will be declaring bankruptcy in the near future.

You should not accuse other country without evidence just because you are doing sex trafficing and slave every day in your country.

Quote from InRainbows :
ICEs are much better for long road trips though. Even simply waiting to supercharge sucks compared to just filling up and going.

Ideally, it would make sense to have 1 EV and 1 ICE vehicle so you can drive around town without blowing money on gas but could also go on longer road trips without waiting ti charge. I know this is probably not economical for most though.

This is very true. Going out on a long road trip with an EV is an hassle since one would possibly have to stop every 3 to 4 hours because the range is limited by highway high-speed driving.

If you want to extend the range to make fewer stops then you got to drive at 60 miles an hour which increases the time. And then charging takes about 20 to 30 mins. I don't think it's viable even in the future.

Own a cheap EV for city driving and a nice luxury ICE for road trips. If you never take a road trip then own a cheap EV. Leaf, Bolt are cheap and great. There will be more options about 2 years from now by year 2026. I would think that most daily drivers would be EV vehicles and most interstate driving will be on gas vehicles.

Do you feel better that they just lump those exact same charges into the final price? Either way you're paying them sparky.

I saw a podcast earlier this year where the presenter predicted at least another price drop by Sept of this year. Tesla still has a good healthy 30-40% profit margin. It's trying to price out the other EV competition.

There are also rich people with zero tax liability in certain years, it's good they don't qualify.
Very funny. It's like they can't sell appreciated stocks to create tax liability.

It's likely M3 RWD gets another price cut after Apr 18 when 7.5k tax credit is reduced. And possibly another before the Highland Refresh with HW 4.0 (which will make Autopilot/Park Assist work better with Tesla Vision) in Q3.

TSLA stock drop incoming too
That'd be pretty weird.

The last across the board price cut was Jan 12....stock is up about 50% since then.

Almost like people are smart enough to realize Teslas margins and manufacturing scale/efficiency are so good they can crush any other brand in a price war.

They do have great margins I agree. But I think they'll lose market share to others

I ordered Y standard on March 3 and delivered on March 18th. Now it is 2k off.
Is there anything I can do to recover my losses?
Thank you, All

Quote from superslickz :
Except, wait....some people might actually care what their car looks like???

Yes, i guess so are just so above all of us, huh, not caring what kind of car you drive at all. Good for you.

Edit: I am not crazy about the looks of a Tesla either. I get it, it's polarizing. There are some people who love it and some who don't. But at least it's not a Bolt. Don't get me wrong, a Bolt has its place and purpose. A good-looking stylish car, it is NOT. I think every non-Bolt owner (and probably many Bolt owners) will agree to that. I think if you are in a professional building parking lot, being seen walking out of a Bolt would be downright an embarrassment. Ok, some of you are above looks and materialism, good for you. The rest of the world doesn't operate that way. You can potentially find the president of a company drive a Tesla, but you are not going to find one driving a Bolt. Not the president of a real company with 50+ employees (unless he/she is so big and rich he is doing it just to prove a point like Bill Gates). Let's be real hear.

Comparing a Bolt to a Tesla has to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard. They both have their merits and their weak points, but they are COMPLETELY different types of cars for different target audiences. It's like comparing a Bolt to a golf cart. Both do their jobs well, just meant for different purposes. So stop with the stupid comparisons.

"It's like comparing a Bolt to a golf cart"

Correct, Tesla being the golf cart here... Maybe a golf cart has better materials than model 3.

Did you really think getting out of a model 3 is less embarrassing than getting out of a Bolt? Hmm, time to wake up.

Tesla has a slight technological advantage than other cars, but for the money you spend on a Tesla (including all the stupid upgrades which may start working in a few years if Elon feels generous), you can get other cars that have similar features and better build quality.
