Quote from gooruma :
I bought a Tesla and most Tesla buyers don't tell the truth about EVs. YouTubers say only good things about them and they don't tell the truth.EVs are really fun to drive and faster than any other vehicle I drove. Technology is good too. But, 1. Phantom drain 1-5% battery drain per day just like any smartphone. You don't lose gas when an ice vehicle is parked. This is really bad when you forget to charge and you park your car at the airport or family or friend's home, where every mile counts. If you use sentry mode, you can lose 10+% per day. 2. Glass top really gets hot and you need to have the AC running while the EV is parked, which uses the battery a lot. 3. In the winter, the battery loses the range a lot. 4. You will have the charger connected all the time because of 1 2 and 3. Once you buy an EV, you will know. So, is it really saving money when it's plugged in all the time? And super charger is expensive.. same price as gasoline. 5. When you travel with an EV, expect to add at least 1 hr time to 3-4 hr trip for charging and getting to the charger. If you really want an EV, buy also an ICE vehicle.

Although you make some good points. Some are a bit inflated. Supercharger charging is not as expensive as gas, I've never seen an example where it's close. If you run sentry or climate all the time yes it does use up some battery but if you ran your gas car for similar features (if they had them) you would see similar losses. Those things can be shut off if you don't want them running. Depending on your battery size and how you drive will dictate how much you need to stop to charge on a long trip. If you have the smallest battery then yes you will need to stop more similar to if you bought a car with a smaller gas tank. It takes about 4 to 5 times as long to fill up a Tesla as similar range gas vehicle. But at superchargers it's .34 a KWh so even if you charged from 0-100 (nobody does) a model 3 LR for example would cost $25.50 if you charge at home it's likely 1/3 of that depending on what you electric rates are. To clarify the math the 3 LR has a 75 kWh battery

I paid MSRP and so have many others. I've never seen a $7000 markup. Usually $2-3k, and if you don't like the markup you just go to a diff dealer like myself and many others have.

But I do believe your $7k markup comment was purposely inflated and exaggerated for whatever reason...
It is the case in NJ with Chevy and Toyota dealers.

I decided to rent a Tesla over the weekend just to see how it is. It is definitely a learning curve and it drives way different than an ice vehicle but the charging infrastructure is simply poor depending where you love. There were none in Clarksville,TN. I didn't have the adapter to use the electrify America chargers. Nashville has 2 super charging stations. Dickson TN which has a population of 16k people has a super charger. Murfreesboro where I live which has a population of 157k people doesn't have one. Manchester,TN population of 12k people has one. I'm not sure what the procedure is for charging locations but recharging has definitely been a bad experience for me.

Learning curve depends on driver. My wife and I test drove to the MY for 30 minutes. We didn't use brakes entire time. We didn't bought the car though because I can settle my mind for the price šŸ˜šŸ˜

So much nonsense here. I have a 2019 Ioniq from the legendary EV deal a few years back. Charging was never an issue since 95% of the time I charge at home. If I do travel far it can be an issue but I make sure to take a few mins and scope out a few different fast charging stations along the way and hit one for 5-10 mins (time enough for bathroom break) and top up. Also after a while you learn how each of the different charging payments work and rarely have I run into cases where every single charging station is broke. (Maybe 1 might be down ) but it's been fine/

No issues even though it has 120 miles of range. And over 4 years almost no degradation. Looking to sell this and pick up a model 3 now.

But if you don't have a place to charge at home I would not recommend any EV . Just a giant pain unless you have a grocery store or something with fast charge nearby

Is it time to change my prius to Tesla? Prius dont stand a chance for a mile to Tesla. May be, if it was not paid off, have no issues on last 150k and I drive less mile/year now, couldnt justify break even or money 'wise'.

Are there tax credit too? Some friends booked last month to get all combined.

Quote from Chlamber :
My issue isn't that I love Tesla, hell I own BMW M-cars, the problem is that the criticism generally is inaccurate or worse yet completely false. I strongly believe there is a strong disinformation campaign against Tesla. I work on enough vehicles to know that every manufacturer has issues but Tesla's are always highly publicized and generally overblown. To make matters worse there are false reports constantly like fake vehicle fire or FSD crashes that get a TON of media coverage and then are later determined to be false. There is never any follow up "we're sorry for lying" story by the news outlets, they just move on to the next fake news. That is happening constantly, and read through this very thread and you find that it has false influences public opinion. That's an issue.
Elon said I could accelerate to 100MPH and climb into the backseat without turning on autopilot. It's his fault.

I thought Elon dropped the prices to meet the credit since the credit threshold dropped below Tesla's prices. Or is the entire program going away?

Only Model 3 RWD will lose half of $7500 tax credit after April 18. Other eligible models will stay the same.

I am glad that you decided to give Tesla a try and yes it is way different from an ICE and if you like technology and minimalist features and appreciate the fact buying any EV will support the environment is a good sign. As for the charging infrastructure, Tesla is ramping up superchargers at a rate much faster than any other company every year. As for Nashville, I just checked the supercharger map and there are three V3 superchargers in Nashville which is the fastest superchargers out there. The below superchargers are also scheduled to open this year

https://www.tesla.com/findus?v=2&...percharger

1. Target Nashville in Q2 2023
2. Target Hendersonville in Q2 2023
3. Target Nortonville in Q2 2023

Apart from the above, I can also see existing superchargers in

Bowling green, KY
Kuttawa, KY
Dickson, TN
Beaver Dam, KY
Mt Juliet, TN

I have made several road trips in my Tesla in the last 15 months with total distance for each trip ranging from 500 to 1500 miles and I have never ever faced any issue with Tesla's charging infrastructure as they are located in very good numbers along every single interstate. In addition to this, there are also Tesla Destination Chargers, located at hotels/vineries/coffee shops/museums etc which offer free charging if you visit or stay there during day or night.

Tesla just had another controversy, I'd be cautious buying one.

You are extremely naive if you think buying an EV somehow supports the environment, sorry.
