You are probably right, maybe I haven't paid much attention to it.
My crappy 1960s LA house has the freaking meter in the back yard lmao. The washer and dryer are in the garage but there's no 220v line lol.
That said, I think it'd still be painless enough since there's a subpanel in the garage... and Teslas here are super duper common now. I used uber twice today and both times ended up in a Tesla (which is weird since that's never happened before!)
What I _CAN_ say from that experience is I think the model S rides a lot better than the model 3. The model 3 is almost as bouncy as my jeep wrangler lol.
So it makes sense then that they can lower the price again to what it was 3 years ago, especially as the R&D amortization on model S and model X be almost zero at this point.
Labor has stayed pretty much the same in fremont for past 3 years, but im sure all the material costs for interior/exterior/seats/screen/glass/etc was out of control past 3 years, feds raised up rates, everythings cooling, so the price comes rocketing down.
Charger installation costs vary greatly depending on how far the garage is from your panel. Also if you need a panel upgrade it will be much more.
In many places, the utility provide may have rebates on charger purchase and installation. Example where i live SMUD [smud.org]has some major rebates.

Thanks for the info!

That actually does speak volumes about the quality on these things.
The Mach-e subreddit has 90% fewer active members but is filled with their cars having issues. Quite interesting.

Plenty of people who can afford these cars.
Go to college, get a tech job in ai. It will change your life.

Because there are lots of drag cars that'll do much quicker. But at the same time, ok, 0-60 in under 2 seconds in a straight line. That's the only thing it has going for it, fun wise. Useless on a track. No engine sound. Terrible steering wheel. Terrible QC. Yeah, electric will be even faster in the coming days, but there's nothing particularly exciting about EVs. Everything about cars that made people, 'car people' are gone with an EV.
Have you even driven one? My other car is a fun e93 BMW convertible. Drives great. Amazing balance. Fitted with Pilot 4S tires, the thing carves the canyon roads by my home and the switchbacks. I love the car and it carried me across the country on an epic road trip on route 66..
However, I find myself choosing the Y every single time as my daily driver. It glides. The accel is instantaneous. It is so quiet. It is comfortable and easy. Is it a P51D Mustang? Nope. It's a 747. But when you're stuck in traffic or doing a daily commute, what do you want - a seat in an ear splitting Mustang? Or a business class seat on a 747?
