Don't believe any of the number by manufacturers. It is not just Tesla, every one of them is like that.
If you are doing 55 to 60 on a windly day with average 70s to 80s degree, then you do get close to that. If you doing 75 and on a cold day, you can forget about the range.
I wouldn't necessarily say, don't believe the manufacturers. In a closed test, those numbers can be pretty precise. Although, some manufacturers are understating the range, like Porsche Taycan. They clearly outperform stated EPA and manufacturer advertised range by far.

But, it is true, that cold weather and speed above 60mph will kill range. Driving above speed limit on the way uphill to a ski resort, a more realistic estimate of range left is half. Same thing when towing; cut your estimate in half. These are what surprises many new drivers with their first electric vehicle.

I'm also sold on the cooling seats. They're a necessity in CA.
Several random car models from a lot of brands since the 70s had an AC vent under the steering wheel to cool your privates. I don't know why that went away. Especially with average sperm counts declining every year.

I'd take that over cooled seats. Also, tinting a car does more than cooling seats but having both... nice.

The new Model 3 is coming out at the end of this year which makes it likely that a refreshed new Model Y will be available soon will be available. No need to rush to buy an old model.

I wonder if I should trade in my model 3 for model y. I hate all the interior noise from model 3.
Did that from the inventory and couldn't be happier. MY feels significantly stable and much more comfortable on highways. They gave a good trade in offer, much better than vroom, so I practically upgraded to LR MY for mere 8k additional.

I owned a Model X since 2017. Sold it to some poor soul last year. Besides the normal problems such as defective door latches trapping you inside a car(only able to leave from rear), rear door switches breaking, sensors not working causing the doors to not open, etc, there's a bigger problem where it tells me Tesla made these cars not to last a long time: the eMMC decision in the multimedia computer. It didn't come about until after the 4 year warranty expired. It was basically a stupid mistake of using subpar 8gb emmc memory with massive data logging in the car which causes them to fail. It was right at warranty end when this was known causing constant rebooting of the computer while driving. Why it wasn't a recall made it suspect at that time. They don't build their cars to last. Don't let the fan boys tell you otherwise.
Fwiw, there is a voluntary recall from Tesla to replace the eMMC. https://www.tesla.com/support/8gb...-questions

Same. My M3 insurance is cheaper than my 2012 civic

Clearly you were over insured on your Civic.

Did you carry comp and collision on a 12 year old civic?

Hydrogen fuel cells need very small batteries and use little cobalt.

Theres plenty of model S that are over 8 years old. Model 3 is 2017, so you have people with 200,000 miles on it, which is close enough to 8 years/120,000 miles. Its NCA battery chemistry like the first model S. Ironically this is more time tested then most gasoline engines in a new gasoline car.
I can attest to this. We just sold our 2013 Model S P85. We were still able to squeeze 215 miles per charge out of it.

You and me both. Not sure I am getting a Tesla again though. My friend's Model Y is noisy too.

Mach-E or Ioniq 5 are my front runners for replacement.

The Mach-E should get most, if not all of the tax credit as well.

I have had a Mach-EV for about two years now. The overall build quality as well as the tech seems better than Tesla. It has Apple CarPlay support which is awesome. And has Bluecruise hands free driving that is 1000x more reliable than Tesla's autopilot or FSD. Hyundai makes good EVs too. You may want to check out and test drive the non-Tesla EVs yourself to compare.
Mach-E and Ioniq 5 are both better than a Tesla.

Quote from Knightshade :
Do you know how gasoline is made?

it's FAR worse for the environment.

Plus, once they make a battery, that's it. You keep using it for a decade or more AND it's like 99% recyclable after that too! Every few hundred miles you need new gasoline, the old stuff having turned mostly into waste heat and pollution.


2) Under the proposed rules that just came out, the credit is now effectively refundable

#2 is a big one.

It means even if you don't have $7500 in tax liability for the year because your income was too low you get the full $7500 at point of sale and IRS will not claw any difference back.

That is unexpected, but great news for buyers.

Income caps still apply though-- if you take the credit and make too MUCH they'll claw the $7500 back in full.
If they have made $7500 a refundable credit, I wish that at some point they also scrap the income requirement.

And you should explain how the Petroleum is made, stored and transported. It will be good information for the ignorants.
