Quote from ggapropros :
The AWD and range increase makes this a decently easy choice now, frankly these cars last forever, teslas ability to make the car an appliance means youll likely keep it in your family for years upon years, youll either give it to your parents, sister, kid, etc after 8 years. $4500 over 8 years is only extra $562. Its almost "regret insurance" at that point, if every year you get into a situation where you wish you had awd and slightly more range than youll kick yourself for not having gotten this. (I also think the LR has subwoofers and rwd doesnt... but someone would have to confirm that for me)
You're making a better argument for a Toyota Highlander than a Tesla Model Y

Everybody thinks they save money driving a Tesla, but nobody will tell you the cost of insurance negates everything

Quote from caycarem :
my wife loves Lexus (friend has RX350) way more than she loves me. After I got my model Y, she went for a model 3 and fell in love with it. no more Lexus for her. Keep your Lexus if soft/cushion drive is your top priority as Tesla Y/3 rides is more rough. Otherwise, Model Y all the way! Too many good things to list, and too much misinformation, but here are some positive things, in order of my own ranking:

#1 Safety is off the hook (frontal crash with Van, van driver died, model 3 driver walked out since no front engine. search you tube. or that depressed doctor who drove his family flying then rolling down a cliff in the model Y smashed to oblivion but everyone's got minor injury)
#2 Sporty drive and so fast. changing lane, merging into freeway, or just speed up at yellow light, makes it a lot safer and faster to get around in general. you have to own it to really know what I mean.
#3 save on gas and no hassle going to the pump, plug in at home like your phone
#4 Autopilot! relaxed driving on freeway. priceless for commuting.
#5 1 pedal driving! no need to brake at red light. also huge screen for backup/left/right camera. see everything!
#6 low maintenance, just the tires. oh, and no more keys or having to lock doors! or remotely venting/heating/cooling/defrost.

the cons are: rough ride, noisy, tire wear, and low battery if you go longer distance than 3 hours. all I can think of.

Had to drive a gas car in Hawaii on our vacation and I hated it so much. no more gas car for us. at these prices, Y/3 is a no brainer to me if you need a new car.
"the cons are: rough ride, noisy, tire wear, and low battery if you go longer distance than 3 hours. all I can think of."

Your electricity still comes from fossil fuel power plants, batteries are extremely expensive to replace, extra heavy weight does more damage to our infrastructure and releases more toxic tire dust while driving, battery + salt may equal huge fire that could burn down your house if in garage and will take 10k-20k gallons of water to extinguish, not good for the economy there. Also takes longer to charge than pumping gas for 4 minutes.

Quote from Ilker2000 :
Couple things need to be added, EV credit is not refundable so you don't get money back unless you owe tax money. Other thing is that insurance is about the double for any tesla.
You 100% can get money back. You just need a 7,500 tax liability.

Example: your tax liability is 10K. You paid 12K throughout the year. You will get 9.5K back.

The thing you need to see is if your TAX LIABILITY will be 7.5K or higher.

Unless you keep your cars for 12-15 years. Then ICE is the king. No $8,000 battery to replace
The decision is really on battery price? Assuming 20 MPG and $3 gas (which it is not). 8K would get you around 55K miles. Yeah you are not replacing a battery that much.

Quote from MadPup :
They still have HW3N
That was true until recently. Giga Shanghai has updated HW4 plus a bunch of other goodies like ambient lighting not available in the US as of a few days ago. Plus quality control is actually a thing over there.

My insurance is about $1,100 a year. That's about the same as a ICE car.

Nope. Full coverage $500 deductible 100k/300k plus added extended warranty with Geico. Also have Umbrella insurance for another $3 million for $450. That's why I needed 100k/300k coverage.

Tesla recently removed their parking sensors so the front parking distance is broken. I'm sure they saved a few bucks, but they replaced a reliable system with something broken. Rear seems to be ok. Personally I trust radar and ultrasonic combined with vision over vision alone.

I refuse to buy another car without parking sensors 🤷🏽 ♂️. I understand humans used their eyes for 100 years before those became commonplace; however, USS is superior as it works in pitch black environments.

Plus it's available on virtually every other car on the market, from the $17,000 Kia Rio to the $170,000 Lucid Air. Life's been good to me — I'm not going backwards on luxury features if I don't have to.

I am considering this but live in an apartment with no charging infrastructure. I might be able to charge at my work but I'm not sure. I see a few teslas in my apartment parking lot but haven't talked to the owners. Does this make any sense for an apartment dweller ? I can't imagine taking car to a charger every 1-2 week for charge and sitting there for a few hours for full charge.
