I tried searching it's just a bunch of rumor mills, couldn't figure out if there was anything concrete.

The original roadster had it-- Tesla claims hardly anybody used it, so they didn't include it after that.
It's likely going to be back with cybertruck though since it's more useful in a "worksite" environment and they said all vehicles will likely support some sort of V2G/V2L in the next 2 years because they tend not to want to have significant part differences if possible.... (ie if you're gonna have it on some vehicles might as well have it on all to avoid supply chain complexity and cost with different boards)
I rented a Tesla Model 3 for a week in Orlando, and drove it a few hundred miles, so I was able to make some comparisons.
1. I can't take the Bolt EUV on trips longer than 400 miles. DC chargers are too hard to find, and it charges at half the speed of a Tesla.
2. The Bolt Super Cruise feature only works on some highways. It's always deactivating even on mapped highways. It's free for 3 years, but I'd have to pay a subscription fee to use it after that. Self-driving on the Tesla works on all roads, not just supported highways.
3. Software is superior on the Tesla. Yes it doesn't have Android Auto or Apple Carplay. Navigation isn't as good as Google maps, but good enough. Navigation is also integrated with the charging software. When you're traveling to a supercharger station, the Tesla will automatically warm up the battery pack for more efficient charging.
I ordered a Model Y LR, and I will sell the Bolt EUV. Anyone who thinks the Bolt EUV is comparable is crazy. The Bolt EUV with all options is about 40k minus tax credit. The Tesla Model Y is 50k minus tax credit.
Because call me crazy but I hate seeing ignorance spread.
It's the same bullshit talking points parroted over and over that are completely incorrect, and worse yet originally created by legacy groups who are threatened by the change.
Weird and crazy
Both are more expensive than similar gas cars, aren't they?

...no?
My Model 3 costs about the same to insure as my Lexus IS350 did. USAA, and in North Carolina.
But insurance costs are tremendously YMMV involving a TON of factors... including things you might not expect (your credit score, your zip code, if you work from home, etc)
So you'll get one guy telling you his Tesla cost eleventy pepsi dollars a week to insure, and another telling your it's 2.50. And both might be accurate. Same as any other car.
A lot of the "Teslas are more expensive to insure" stories come from NOT comparing them to comparable cars.
When you actually do you find they're not really more expensive.

That's motortrend comparing Teslas to the most similar BMW models.
Their conclusions?
Model 3 was the same or cheaper on the high end to insure than the BMW 3-series
Model Y was within about 10% of the BMW X3s insurance costs (so slightly higher)
The S/X ARE more expensive (though not massively so for the S) but offer much better performance as well.
Somewhat more important to my mind is the Tesla has a significantly lower chance of my and my passengers being injured in an accident compared to any gasoline car though.
But that's not going to be an issue.
So, yes, it could be an issue. No one can definitely say one way or the other right now, though they will try to push their desire.
But battery mining and manufacturing, even today, is cleaner than oil.
That will only get moreso in the future.
Also Tesla announced their next-gen motors will use zero rare earths
Tesla has a very detailed report on this transition (not just their cars- but moving the entire world to sustainable energy in all aspects) with a lot of data if you care to look at it here:
https://www.tesla.com/ns_videos/T...Part-3.pdf
Only the RWD Model 3- after that it's $3750.
All other models that have $7500 today still have it after that with no end date.
You keep repeating this despite Tesla continually posting record sales quarter after quarter including the one that JUST ended.
It's like whatever reality is, you post the opposite.
