At least 3 guys ordering the same config Tesla on the same day all pay the same, clearly spelled out, price with just a few clicks.
Send 3 people into the same BMW dealership on the same day to get a price on a car and they'll get 3 different answers depending on who the sales guy is, how knowledgeable the buyer seems, and how hard they haggle with em about it.
That second method seems like a lot more work for inferior results.
My last new car shopping was 5 years ago, I still recall one dealership offering a price then not honoring it when you reach there with a printed email.

They are like Mafia and heavily protected. Not going to be easy getting rid of them.
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.
What's absolutely disturbing is how it's become politically incorrect to criticize EVs with many message boards and social media sites shadowbanning or blocking you for providing evidence why EVs should not be mandated and why the adoption of them is likely being encouraged because of greed and blind zealotry. Directing anyone towards Youtube and tiktok videos by multiple channel owners demonstrating the serious issues EVs have is also met with hostility, insults and dismissal.
It really seems these people have to learn the hard way and are going full steam ahead with that plan.
EVs have lots of problems and not the future?
And yet, every single car manufacturer is shifting towards EVs?
I guess no one got your memo lol
Sounds like a great idea except dealers marked them up by 5-10k. Unless your preorder comes thru…
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.

That's your red flag there.
Also, many of the major car companies are just going along with silly, idealistic government mandates or looking to boost the stock price like Tesla did, hence the constant announcements that "WE'RE GOING EV BY 2035!!!"
I mean, I told everyone I'd be a billionaire by 2004 in 1995, you think that ever happened?
If you can make a claim that you can go all-EV by 2035, you should be able to do it the same year. I'm 40, have read all the Popular Science and Mechanics magazines in the nineties and early 2000s, kept up with Engadget and the Verge...most of the tech that actually works isn't plastered all over the media. It quietly gets released and transitioned in. The stuff that gets the big press releases never sees the light of day.
A laughable example is the Boeing Hypersonic Cruiser which became the 787 and the the US military's Objective Individual Combat Weapon, or HK's G11 caseless rifle.
OLED, ok, that actually happened and I own two OLED TVs, but it was actually new tech with a high ceiling for improvement. And unless you're a big home theater nerd, you probably don't know anything about it or even think it's a gimmick. OLED's pitfall is burn-in, but I've never owned an OLED product that's had that issue and I can live with it. EVs have too many dealbreakers.
Seeing owners gush about them, followed by "I don't dare take it on road trips" is just silly. If you're Jay Leno and own a bunch of cars, EVs are great. If you can only have one car like 95% of the world, forget it.

aid not perfect but you don't have to pick a side. It doesn't have to be the right or the left. EV is perfect for daily commute while keep a second diesel car for long distance.
Cybertruck production is starting this summer- you can see the gigapresses being installed for last month it here:
https://electrek.co/2023/03/21/te...roduction/
Next-gen vehicle will begin production late 2024 at the new factory in Mexico according to the governor of Nuevo Leon- but they likely won't be ramping in serious volume until 2025.
They are like Mafia and heavily protected. Not going to be easy getting rid of them.
Something has to give. Every other country has proper mass transit. Just compare Detroit to Windsor. It's like freaking night and day.

Dude, not everyone can afford two cars, LOL.

That might be the most ignorant claim I've seen in a massive thread full of ignorant claims.
Where do you magically go from 0 batteries to hundreds of gigawatt hours of batteries ready to go the same year?
That volume of spare batteries simply does not exist, and would require a bunch of factories to be built, supplied with a volume of refined minerals that also don't exist, supplied by mines and refineries that also don't exist.
They WILL exist over the coming decade, but they don't now. Much of what is holding the ramp of EV production back is exactly that- lack of batteries--- and many many billions are being spent to address that but it can't happen overnight.
So no, if they say EV by 2035 they CAN NOT do it "the same year"
Those comments have primarily come from NON owners posting out of ignorance though. I've taken mine in plenty of road trips and it's a total non-issue in a Tesla.
it's pretty garbage in other brands due to lack of a decent charging network though.

Also check what wheels are on the thing-- like all cars bigger wheels with thinner tires will ride rougher... so test drive one with 18s if you can rather than 20s.
It'll be like trying to resell your Blackberry or flip phone years after the iphone came out.
900 miles in a single day is rough though- I personally fly if needing to travel that far in a single day... but my suggestion would probably be something roughly like this:
Drive 250-300 miles from home on your initial charge.
Stop for 10-15 minutes at a supercharger, use the bathroom, drive another 150 miles
Stop at a supercharger where there's food nearby and do a long charge while you sit down and have lunch. By the time you're done at the restaurant you'll have another 300+ miles of range- jump back on the road.
Do one more 10-15 minute stop at a supercharger, use the bathroom, grab a drink, go drive another 150 miles.
That ought to get you ~900 miles down the road.... and take no real extra time compared to a gas car unless you never stop for a sitdown meal on your normal 900 mile drives and pee in a jar enroute.
Obviously if driving in the hinterlands you might need to adjust this some, but if you're near major highways any significant amount of the time, even away from the coasts, it should be quite doable.
I'd be a buyer of a new 77" 120Hz LG OLED at $999 too but that's also probably not happening.
