Quote from WittyShow176 :
I agree with everything people say but just like when smartphones came out, a lot of people including myself were still blackberry fans. Once you make the switch to Tesla you don't / can't go back. As my wife says it's the best car for a woman as it needs no maintenance at all!
Tesla has no dealers, so they can do anything they want with the price. Go to any dealer, they mark up the price anywhere from 3-10k over the MSRP.
I know what you mean I love my Teslas. Do I like how they look? not really, is the interior cheap? Yes. Everyone has their reasons for buy ing a car but mine was simply my hatred of dealing with car dealers shady sales tactics and wasting time waiting for over priced regular maintenance to get done at the service center. I'll be honest I would rather have another make that looks better but at the moment no one else comes close. I think time will eventually even the playing field though.

Quote from osideplayer :
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 if it still works. On top of this you aren't exempt from bearing replacement, tie rods, control arms and bushings. We have no idea how long these will cars will last.
My Porsche Taycan service bill will be nothing for 10/years. If I just put back the average $2K, I'll have $20K banked for a battery fix in 10yrs. The warranty is 8, so if I'm seeing issues at 6+, I'll try to get it under warranty.

Now yes, your average Chevy doesn't cost that to maintain. But Tesla's they've practically discounted some by the price of an entire battery replacement.

FYI you can save an addition $250 + 3 months of full self driving if you purchase with a referral code. Per SD guidelines I can't post mine but you can easily google one. Which would really just cancel out the $250 order fee.

Never buy a product based on future promised features.

Bought 2 this year M3P, MyLR. Ithey are like driving a laptop… slightly less expensive than a new Camry. There is nothing particularly special about them, fast, quiet, about 270 real miles of range, good stereo, build quality on both was fine - but certainly plain (not luxurious). We like them, blend in with all the other hundreds of them that we see on our daily commutes. They are plesent to drive. I came from a Scatpack, and a 5.0GT. My wife from a Pilot. No regrets. We have no plans on doing road trips in them (We have a Diesel Ram 2500 for that). Daily stuff, quick trips, and 3-700 mile sprints to other cities is great when having a home Charger and lots of access to level 3 superchargers. Insurance is more expensive, it is about $300 more per year (per car) than I was paying for the Scatpack, or Mustang GT. Go drive one. They give you the car for an hour, leave you to try it out on your own. Buying process is painless. Click through the app, schedule your delivery day, drive down, inspect car, select accept on the app - door opens and drive away. Best buying experience ever.

I've been driving a Tesla model 3 120 miles a day, 5 days a week for almost 6 years.
What do I want to say about my car? I am still loving it!

Just shop around. Amica and Progressive have been the cheapest options for my Tesla. Roughly the same monthly cost as my old Hyundai. But they slowly jack up the rates till I have to switch insurance companies, typically a year between having to swap.

I have seen a few places who don't want to insure a Tesla (or aren't setup to insure them), so they give crazy prices like you saw - 3-4k for a 6 month term.

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)
Serious question. I live in the country without fire stations close by. I've seen where batteries burn up. What causes that. My fear of electric cars are for the car batter to catch on fire and then burn my house down.

I drive 150 miles a day…. So I want a battery car. Just worry about above. Also ready where Toyota is developing different battery tech. How would those compare?

Quote from SplendidSquirrel285 :
For those with noise complaints would it make sense for a stereo shop to remove all the interior carpet and use fatmat/ dynamat for sound deadening? Surely it will cost 2500$ to do the entire car but would it be worth it?
I was thinking the same. If the noise problems are that bad, I'd guess a few pieces in the right spots would go a long way. I'd start with a few pieces on the inside of the door skins, firewall, and a piece under the carpet where you put your feet in front of each seat.
I've added a form of dynomat to every car I've owned, and I do it over time based on where it sounds like the noise is coming. A little goes a long way.

Just let your house burn down.

Sometimes I forget for a minute that - lot of Slickdeals folks are territorial weirdos who fight with each other over their preferred brands and the politics of the site.

Not often, though.

Quote from SirMarvinHaggler :
This is demonstrably untrue.

Given a two premium brands at the same price range, the Tesla will cost an average of 25% more to insure.

Google.
Not for me. I swapped my Infiniti SUV for a MY and despite insurance costs going up across the board, my insurance is flat for my first payment post swap

The battery vs ICE argument is old shoe. The bottom line is, it's only slightly more efficient to "burn" electricity stored in a car battery vs. Gasoline after you factor in all the transmission, conversion, and storage losses, plus the more efficient power plant generation. There isn't good math for all the mining and manufacturing for the batteries.

The cost of lithium and other battery tech minerals and metals is regulated by the open market, just like oil. One difference is the US (tha ks to fracking - like it or not) is one of the worlds largest suppliers of oil, but we don't have much lithium. So, China and other nations will soon have a strategic stranglehold on the materials required for electric cars.

Electric vehicles make up a small percentage of all vehicles in the world. If that changes, so too will the economics and politics.

Where I live, I still can't get an electric vehicle because there are not enough reliable charging stations that actually charge quickly.

All that said, I will never purchase a vehicle that can be disabled remotely or have functions and features disabled remotely by anyone after I purchase it.
