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?
Tires sure.... Brakes, thanks to regen, frequently go 100-200k miles before they need any attention at all.
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.
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.
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.
Good news then, since EVs are far less likely than gas cars to actually catch on fire.
Hybrids are worse than either of course.
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.
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.
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
Your bottom line is grossly false though.
https://www.motortrend.
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.
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:

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.
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.

Does your home not have electricity? That['s where most EV owners charge.
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?

Build quality is pretty bad for a 50k car. If you are comparing to another luxury segment vehicle quality of build, road noise etc are noticeably worse.
You will never get the range they advertise. It's pure bs. Think 10 to 15% less in normal conditions. Worse if it's not ideal conditions or you got a few ppl or towing anything.
in general since it's heavier you will need tires sooner.
battery replacement is insanely expensive if you need one. over 10k. maybe it gets cheaper with time.
tesla service centers are your only option for repairs.
pros:
the charging network and no need to go to a gas station. depending on driving habits lotnof savings in gas.
no oil changes and tune ups etc.
it's really fast if you like flying around the road
eager to get my cyber truck. Been a REALLY long wait...
Here is my recent experience. Not sure if this is unethical customer service practice.
We want to buy basic Model 3 Rear Wheel Drive vehicle and on Tesla.com and in new vehicle inventory page, for my zip code I found one available for faster pickup and is listed for $37,120 (New Model 3 Blue 18" wheel). I added charging accessories and submitted the order with $955 including $250 fee. Received text message to signup for the account and next steps. Also received email with invoice showing price adjustment of $4100.
We are excited to complete the next steps. We signed for Tesla account as instructed.
Then when login to account we see "Accept the updated terms and proceed to delivery" message. On this page we see a new price of $41,240 in very small font and grey color. Below that long message that a technology change that now cameras will be used for sensing and decision. Without realizing that this is changing the price, we accepted by click OK and continued to the next step where now we received new updated invoice of $41,240. We did not see any option when accepting this change. After we accepted and getting new invoice, then only we see Cancel option. We cancelled the order as the final price is $4100 more than listed price.
Then we contacted Tesla support on chat and first the agent acted like we are made mistake by changing the vehicle in the process but when we repeated the whole detail agent said I understood but I do not have detail on your order so I cannot say anything. We provided reservation number and vehicle configuration details. In few seconds the agent simply agent simply ended the chat. Then we submitted request in contact support page. Received a text message and an email. Responded to both and no response even after few days now. We lost the order fee $250 also in this process.
We see multiple problems here with Tesla advertising/listing/customer support etc.
Why would tesla list one price but then change it on the fly without properly displaying and explaining the price change. Why would support act like nothing happened and they do not care about customers.
Any similar experiences or we totally missed on how Tesla work?
model 3 base price $40xxx + white pearl multi layer paint $1000 = 41xxx
But price adjustment should also be there. Your total is $41xxx before adjustment delivery fee and tax...
2 Drivers seemed really interested in getting Model 3 and asked for a referral link so that they can save extra $500.
Also just like a computer, it's probably best best to upgrade your Tesla every 5-6 years to get the latest hardware if you want to take a full advantage of FSD.
