Tesla makes good cars if they sold them at 15k. That's the level of quality they provide. They match up with old Daewoos of the 80's
Owning any nice ICE car is a ticking time bomb, you have to get it off your hands before the engine has some $5000 repair bill that youre stuck with. Then you get into sunken cost fallacy, you put $5000 into the engine repair and want to keep it for 2 more years, and then other crap randomly starts failing on the car.
he was saying cars as an investment. do you need interweb validation for your tesla stock investment?
thats twice as long as audi/bmw
It makes sense, tesla can stand behind their battery with zero moving parts for 8 years easily. Audi/bmw/porsche know their 1000 moving part twin-turbo plastic pieces of junk dont last a day over 4 years.
For those interested, Lyft driver gave conflicting information - love the car, had to replace the battery, and had to get various repairs on his car 'many' times (his word). Which it contradicts his comment of minimal issues from an earlier point in our chitchat.
All this being said, I dont regret buying this. You dont really need the insanely fast acceleration but it is nice to have that instant torque available whenever you need, even at highway speeds. I did get the 3rd row option but that's really only big enough for small kids, which we have so it has worked out very well for us. Also the convenience of being able to just charge anytime at home is really nice.
Lot of polarizing comments in this thread. Wasnt expecting this at all! LOL!

at least tesla is more up front and reduce prices directly, where as other car brand will reduce the inventory price via things like dealer rebates, market incentives, zero percent APRs and other crap, and force consumer to do research and study for the latest promotion and spend hours to haggle the price. if you find that experience rewarding, then go ahead. but judging by the sales number. tesla's direct to consumer model seem to taking the dealer model market just like online shopping is taking B&M sales. there will always be market for dealership model, but i for one, would never want to go back
model Y with solar panels is a true investment.
People crying about the model X know that the car was never an investment. It has falcon doors for christ sake. Most people buying a model X did so as a flex on other people.
My older P90DL fared much better but had MCU (MCU1) issues which made me consider upgrading to MCU2 specs. But it's in Germany now.
Zero problems with paint quality, fit and finish. I wrap my vehicles though.
Quoted the MVPA from 8/27/2023 and updated 8/31/2023. Placed a new reservation as of 3A this morning as well for a White/White MX, waiting the call back to get the delivery to a closer service center.
Glad to help anyone else out who wants to know more. The 1st is a midnight silver on black MX (yoke), the second is a white-on-white MX (steering wheel).
There were three major price points though, $6K then an increase to $15K, and the most recent (last night) decrease to $12K.
So the phone queue is quite busy today, probably people confirming and changing things. 113 minute wait right now.
IMO, it's best to wait for FSD to actually go main stream. With the advent of HW4 and it still in beta (along with the SEC looking at Elon and his custom mode) there may be FSD issues. The traffic aware cruise control may be all most everyone needs, without even having the in-cabin camera disabling things if you sneak a peak at your cell phone.
Few would tell others to forgo buying a home though, just a question of how old, and where.
the lithium ion in model s and model x and some model 3/Y is NCA, its more expensive, but more energy dense

imagine buying a car that has no profit margin
Its going to be like owning a saab, what a joy to get repairs done 5 years down the road theres no parts available.
