Expect either price drop (or limited time $ off) at the end of the year. Tesla needs to sell 1.8M cars. They need 490k this quarter to keep pushing the stock up.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm an extremely analytical person and I have, in minute detail, calculated my ROI on my solar panels and also my EV vehicle. If someone drives 1500 miles every month in a city then an EV is a no brainer. And for that purpose buying a 50k Tesla is also useless. Get a Chevy bolt out leaf or another cheaper EV; invest half of the money left over by not buying a Tesla into adding rooftop solar panels; save in home electricity as well as gas; thank me later.
Ohh and BTW, I didn't even mention the federal credit here for both buying an EV and installing solar panels.

Perhaps the accounting works amortized over 2 decades ...free though is a misnomer, and certainly doesnt account for the human toxicity factor of your transportation system

They're not as bad as folks make it out to be. Also being an EV, noise issues are amplified
Just do a through walk through of the vehicle once delivered. Apparently once you go tesla, you stay with teslas. I'm tempted to get into one as well with all the glowing praises from numerous friends and family

Go with Hyundai Ioniq 5. A bit slower than Tesla, same range and much better interior and feel for driving. It even charges faster than a Tesla if you have a EA 350KW charging station near you (free charging for the first 2 years).
I had one for a month and then my wife claimed ownership over it. I am driving a similar priced Acura... Ioniq 5 for the win
Downside is, I am still paying for the Ioniq 5 lease, goes to charge the car 2 times a week and pay for gas every other week... so if you do get an Ioniq 5... you may not be able to keep it

At this rate, if I wait a few years, I might actually be able to get one of these for 25K lol. They're trying to push Q4 numbers really hard. I wouldn't be shocked if the price drops more as they get more desperate as they hit the holiday season.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some ppl like ikea furniture some antiques. Just like I would not comment on how beautiful your food choices are, because it is personal.

I couldn't agree more. Minimalist interiors likely won't appeal to someone who likes blinged out button laden ones and that's ok. The same goes for vehicle exteriors.

I personally think when comparably priced vehicles (30-40k after tax credit) are benchmarked the model 3 and Y are extremely nice.

Last forever? LMAO

Found the Tesla fan boi.
These things come new with steering wheels that fall off, brake pads not installed, etc.

You probably never of Ford who has been in the business for years and still has the highest amount of recalls. I own one, and in three years 4 recalls. I'll take my chances on a Tesla

"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.

Right now in the US, 30 percent of all electricity is generated by alternate sources, so the electricity is not necessarily from fossil fuels. If you have evidence of Tesla's burning houses down more often than ICE vehicles, please post a link. Even ICE engines can catch on fire in a garage, which is why here in Michigan it is against building codes to have a furnace in your garage, but an EV charger is fine. I have never owned an EV, but find the biases on both sides interesting.

Tesla is going to price out the competition. Not a fan of Teslas due to the cheap feeling interior, but you can't deny the price, EV range, and leader in EV.

At some point, competitors will have to drop price.

Wow. This type of thing kills me. I've had one for 6 years. Know several with an ev. Way more reliable than gas. Less maintenance. The list is endless.

Don't get me wrong. Solid state versus ICE is a far better solution... but implementation is the issue. Generally you don't see ICE cars blow up when they're rear-ended - and before you say that was a fringe occurrence, one time is too much for me to trust my wife driving a car that probably won't do that, but might. Just too many things that concern me. The good thing is we have pretty much every car company doing EVs now, so I think things will get much better in the next 10 years or so.
