Folks from CA, any additional tax incentives on top of the federal $7,500?
Search for cvrp and for your local air district.

The cvrp is the state sponsored rebate. Funds are drying up (wait list only now), but it can't hurt to apply.

Each air district does its own thing. Monterey Bay had $2k but that ran out in July. San Joaquin Valley is still $3k. Not sure about the others.

Why doesn't title say long range? So basically they got rid of the awd standard range and want people to pay extra $2k for long range if they want awd.
You will want the long range. Because Tesla's run about 70% of their marketed range in real world use.

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.
I have almost the same insurance for $460 for 2 drivers per six months. Went with 2.5k collision deductible and 1k comprehensive. Insurance was only about 120$ cheaper with a 2011 civic we traded in, that was only worth a few k
Tesla insurance would be 90$ a month

I wonder about this figure. My Chevy Volt was greatly impacted by a/c or heat use. It sort of policed your take off and brake pattern to increase your range about 5%.

I don't understand car drivers who brag about putting 100000s miles on their car.

While you are saving money, you're also driving an old car with old tech and old safety. I won't even talk about worn out surfaces and smell...even a new car at three years starts getting a little gamey.

Driving a new car is almost always nicer, so who cares how many miles a car will last...it's like talking about my iPhone. I'm getting rid of it within three years or less...

This is Slickdeals...not frugal living or the pennypincher.
maybe you're just a grimy person. my 18 years old car is definitely not grimey. its very clean and has no smell to it.

the eff... slickdeals is the meaning of frugal living....we are here to find deals. if deals aren't frugal living. then the heck is it?

people brag about their high mileage is saving money in itself.

Boy, LOTS to cover from overnight posts Smilie


Quote from Nattefrost :
https://www.caranddriver.com/news...-revealed/

New Honda Prologue if you can wait

why would you wait for a rebadged GM you can already get today that doesn't get any less crap by having a Honda badge slapped on it?



Quote from koge811 :
you do understand tires and brakes wear out
Tires sure.... Brakes, thanks to regen, frequently go 100-200k miles before they need any attention at all.


Quote from koge811 :
and parts like windshield damage would cost 1000 to replace because of sensors and brand.
So same price as the replacement on my ICE Lexus IS350 was then... just as my insurance rates are about the same as the Lexus was.


Quote from cashisking1 :
Unfortunately, Tesla dropped the standard range LFP battery from the Model Y a few weeks ago...allegedly to allocate batteries for the Cybertruck.

For now, the only Tesla available with the LFP battery is the Cybertruck.

None of that is accurate. You are confusing the 4680 cells (which are NOT LFP, and are made in the US) which are what was in the no-longer-sold standard range AWD and what is expected to go into the cybertruck.

LFPs appear in the current RWD 3 and Y.

Quote from cashisking1 :
For 2023, Lexus now has an all-electric RZ which is a similar size to the RX.]
But has hilariously terrible range and other specs, especially for the price... They're barely selling any of them because of how awful a proposition it it.



Quote from TitusP :
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.
Good news then, since EVs are far less likely than gas cars to actually catch on fire.

Hybrids are worse than either of course.



Quote from TitusP :
Serious Also ready where Toyota is developing different battery tech. How would those compare?
Toyota has been "developing" that, and promising it'll be ready in a couple years, since 2009.

Every 3 years they repeat the same claim about how it'll be out in a few years.

And it never is.


They are way behind pretty much everyone in the industry in the EV switch- so they keep repeating the same "BETTER MAGIC TECH FROM US IN A COUPLE YEARS" to scare people into not buying current products.

Don't fall for it.


Quote from crazymonkey1208 :
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.
Again do you not have electricity at home? It's where most EV owners charge and it's vastly more convenient than having to stop as gas stations all the time. Cheaper too.



Quote from drgka55 :
"Tesla is accelerating transition to sustainable cars"

By which measure? Any time I did any analysis on EVs and Teslas I see ZERO sustainability.

Where can we read your "analysis" since it's counter to every one I've ever actually seen published?

See also below for more debunking of exactly this kind of FUD




Quote from linesplice :
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.
Your bottom line is grossly false though.

https://www.motortrend.com/news/e...n-engines/


In an ICE vehicle In total, approximately 75 to 84 percent of the original gasoline's energy is lost.


Ah but some power plants use dirty stuff to make power you say? Yes-- but even THEN it is far more efficient to burn it centrally and turn it into electricity for cars.

Even if the grid were entirely fueled by coal, 31% less energy would be needed to charge EVs than to fuel gasoline cars.

And of course only about 20% of our grid is coal- most is even cleaner and more efficient than that.



Quote from linesplice :
There isn't good math for all the mining and manufacturing for the batteries.
Except, there is. It'd be VASTLY cheaper to switch to all BEVs than continue the cost of a fossil fuel economy.

You can see all the math, over dozens of pages, here:

https://www.tesla.com/ns_videos/T...Part-3.pdf

Quote :
building the manufacturing infrastructure for the sustainable energy economy will cost $10 trillion, as compared to the $14 trillion projected 20-year spend on fossil fuels at the 2022 investment rate



Quote from linesplice :
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.
This, too, is flat out false.


Lithium is one of the most common elements on earth.

The US is home to what are believed to be the world's largest lithium deposits after those in the so-called Lithium Triangle region in South America

It's just currently CHEAPER to get it from Australia and other places, so we do.

But we've got PLENTY more than enough locally if we wished to mine it.


Quote from linesplice :
Electric vehicles make up a small percentage of all vehicles in the world. If that changes, so too will the economics and politics.
It's already changing. EVs are a majority of new cars in some countries, and worldwide just under 20% of all new vehicle sales already- and growing quickly.

https://cleantechnica.com/2023/08...00%20units.


Quote from linesplice :
Where I live, I still can't get an electric vehicle because there are not enough reliable charging stations that actually charge quickly.
Does your home not have electricity? That['s where most EV owners charge.



Quote from linesplice :
All that said, I will never purchase a vehicle that can be disabled remotely
Which is a ton of cars nowadays--- Onstar can do that for example.

Unless you're using it to engage in crime though why would you care?

Quote from yujie :
I own a Model 3 just because of the look way better than a model Y. Anyone agrees on the look department?
Both models look pretty look pretty bland to me but I guess that happens when there are so many and all basically 1 of 2 models. Interiors are more bland than the exterior. I can charge for free at work but I find nothing compelling to either the model 3 or Y. Then again gas is by far the smallest monthly expense I have so couldn't care less a few dollars less per week.

See a lot of YouTube videos on Musk is a con artist. Could never buy anything he owns or recommends. Inferior products. Toyota and Honda and Subaru are better.

Why all the down votes for speaking your opinion on your own vehicle?
