Got the model Y because of the previous thread here at Slickdeals. Back in June

Fantastic car. Feels luxury.

Things I wish I had known:
Insurance is expensive
Charging can be annoying and expensive (cali)
You'll want to drive more

How can you say a car that's only been available for four years last forever? Have you heard of battery degradation. In 10 years from now your batter range will be closer 200 miles.
Good, at that rate they'll replace the battery for free. The average battery loses 12% of it's original capacity after 200,000 miles.(322,000 km)

Model S has been sold for over eleven years and Model 3 over six years. Both models, along with the model Y, have the highest customer satisfaction of any cars. Tesla tops the list of most satisfied customers in the entire auto industry.

In addition, Eon Musk says that they built the Model 3 to last as long as a commercial truck, a million miles, and the battery modules should last between 300,000 miles and 500,000 miles: Model 3 drive unit & body is designed like a commercial truck for a million mile lifespan.

I love this car but too bad i don't qualify for the rebate because I make way more than that. I'm not boasting but i just wanted everyone to know that I make way more than $150k as a single person.
Crazy they want people to buy EVs but don't give tax credit to those who have money to buy EVs responsibly unless your married to someone who makes less. I know a lot of Doctors that won't buy an EV because they cannot get the tax credit. They don't need it but no one likes to feel like they pay more. Gas cars are still attractive. I also don't like they have such low limits on Used EVs. Should be high, but only once per car every 10 years to discourage people from cheating.

While I love my model 3 and want to upgrade to Y, some annoying things deter me like the air intake filter gets horrible odor every summer and needs replacement. Interior is noisy and rough ride. Tesla insurance was good until recently, they changed to Beta 2, and premiums rose significantly. I personally feel the seats lack in aesthetics compared to other brands.

Hoping other manufacturers to ship with Tesla port sooner. More reliable options only then.

From whom?

This is a US price cut-- where Tesla is outselling the next 19 car brands combined in EVs for the first half of 2023:
https://insideevs.com/news/689106...s-h1-2023/



Tesla is lowering prices because they can and because it's LITERALLY THE MISSION STATEMENT OF THE COMPANY to accelerate the transition to sustainable transport.


https://www.tesla.com/blog/secret...you-and-me

That's Teslas master plan.
Published in 2006.
6 years before Model S went on sale. 11 years before Model 3 went on sale.

It has 4 steps:

Build sports car (this was the roadster)
Use that money to build an affordable car (this was the S/X)
Use that money to build an even more affordable car (this is the 3/Y)
While doing above, also provide zero emission electric power generation options (this is solar and storage)


And that's exactly what they've executed against.

Tesla keeps getting more efficient at building cars, and they keep lowering prices to increase the # who can afford them as a result- all in direct service to the mission statement and plan published many many years ago.


Yet people keep acting surprised or pretending they're doing it over some imaginary "competition" that objectively does not exist (especially in the US market)
"Tesla is accelerating transition to sustainable cars"

By which measure? Any time I did any analysis on EVs and Teslas I see ZERO sustainability. Heavy batteries, poisonous components and rare earth metals are in those batteries and is completely unsustainable compared to gas which is extremely efficient and more abundant.

Moving on to energy sources: Renewable energy sources absolutely cannot replace the power demand and they are additionally really bad for natural habitats despite being touted as the opposite. This applies to solar panels, windmills, dams and offshore anything.


I'm just saying why are we blindly rushing towards something that may not be better at all than current evolving tech technologies of ICE cars and in fact may be worse for the world.

The only real solution I see that can maybe cut on the environmental impact is nuclear. But of course whatever the data suggests to be beneficial doesn't seem to get anywhere with the plebs and their masters.

Depends on what ICE.. unless it's a Toyota or Honda, don't even bother. Also, I have a pilot, and it gives me 18 mpg. Since my wife got Model Y, my gas bill is down 80%. Idc about save the planet BS, all I care about is that I save shit load of money driving this SUV over Pilot. Y fill up costs me $13.
I've driven nothing but Toyotas for 20 years, haven't had a car payment in 10 years now. My commute is all highway miles, I use approximately $40 a week in fuel. I'll take that and the convenience of having dozens of gas stations along the way versus searching for charging stations every day of the week.

If the day ever comes that some dingbat politicians go California on us and force us to buy electric cars, I'll probably just shift to leasing them and beat the everliving 💩 out of them. I'm set with glorified golf carts.

lastly, read some of the comments from the EV cult here such as "my smart boomer friends love EVs, the rest don't buy them" this type of conceited, stuck up. snobbish attitude doesn't exactly excite me to join the battery cult.

I drove a Mach E at my local ford dealership the day they announced the lower prices. My local dealer is selling below msrp and offering 0 percent financing. Compared the model Y the Mach e did feel more comfortable and it had familiar ergonomics but driving dynamics and sheer acceleration were better in the Y

Are Teslas built that bad? I'm considering an electric car.
The 3 feels like a Corolla, but people are upset because it costs more.

Quote from smart84 :
If folks think it's a luxury vehicle
It's not only high end luxury, but the most technologically advanced as well, beyond any other "luxury" (but lesser) vehicle. Teslas are also the safest vehicle by far. Luxury also means safety, like Air Force One for example - the safest plane.

Teslas are also the fastest cars in the world at various price points. Luxury and performance!
