Model Y is noisy also.
Get a Model T instead. You can get it in any color you'd like, as long as it's black

I just did a 6 hour road trip yesterday and drove myself 100% of the time. Why the hell would I want my car to drive itself? No thanks, I'm good.
Why would I want to keep pressing on pedal for 6 hours when I can have car do all the work and I get to arrived destination not completely exhausted? And try driving that at night on local roads. The point is I have option to let car do the work, and you don't.

Why did the 35K Model 3 have a $3750 tax credit? Is n't it $7500 alll across the board for a new Tesla.
In 2023? Sure.

The 35k model was only sold in the first half of 2019, when there was a completely different type of credit that phased out as a company sold more and more cars, and for a while in 2020 when there was no credit at all for Teslas.

Teslas allocation of $7500 credits ended Dec 31 2018-- months before the 35k version of Model 3 went on sale... the cheapest Model 3 in 2018 that could get a full $7500 credit was the MR RWD for $45-46k before credit.


It was $3750 first half of 2019 (the 35k model 3 went on sale Feb 28 2019) and was cut in half AGAIN to $1875 July 1 2019, then went to $0 on Jan 1 2020....and the 35k stripped down 220-mile range Model 3 stopped being sold entirely in 2020 as well- leaving the cheapest version the SR+ RWD for 39-40k at the time with no tax credit at all.


The only reason there's a tax credit NOW is they passed an entirely different law that kicked in Jan 1 2023 that, other than being $7500 max, works entirely differently and does not care about how many cars you sell.

So today you can get a much better spec 272 mile car, with a heat pump, newer driving computer and newer media computer, etc... for about the same price after tax credit as that stripped down 220 mile 35k one 4.5 years ago.

Honest question, is the build quality any better with this model? I held off on a model 3 because two of my friends both had issues. Large panel, gaps dashboard not lined up correctly, missing paint on certain parts. I thought it was a fluke until I see how common it is. I was holding out for the F150 lightning due to the size until the prices almost tripled from what they were supposed to be.

That was for marked down take-what's-sitting-here inventory cars my dude-- Not the actual MSRP if you want to just place your own new order where you get to pick options.

The lowest brand new order MSRP price for the Model 3 in 2023 was $38,990.

Which is... the current price.

Let's face it, most of us spend less than 1 hour at a time in our cars running errands or driving to work.

Dis you?

Quote from crazymonkey1208 :
Hours long road trips aren't the daily norm, which makes depending on a self-driving system look even more lazy sloth-like.
I literally replied regarding YOUR claim of taking a 6 hour drive and not understanding why anyone would want to automate that.

You're gonna throw your back out moving goalposts this fast man!


Quote from crazymonkey1208 :
And driving in flat straight highways is what cruise control is for.
Unless yours will also steer, change lanes to pass slower cars and follow your route, and take exits and interchanges for you too you're just showing off your ignorance of how much better good ADAS system is to "cruise control"

Yeah, you make no sense. Yeah, I made a 6 hour road trip on a holiday, which is out of the norm.
Then it's weird it was the only example you originally gave at all.

Even weirder you acted like it was strange someone would reply with something specific to road trips since that was literally the thing you brought up

I agree someone ain't making sense, you're just mistaken about whom.

Doubling down with the "everyone who prefers not to do a ton of unneeded manual labor is fragile" nonsense isn't a great look either.... but it makes my churning butter question funnier, since I guess if you go with store bought you're too fragile to make your own, so thanks for that! LMAO

I guess if you're insane you think you make sense while everyone else is laughing. Thanks for the chuckle. I'm sure someone else will be along to reply and you'll have a short novel to reply to them with like you did with everyone else in this thread. Hopefully it's just as comically confusing as this exchange 😂🤣 what a 🤡

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)
The car uses same Tier 1 suppliers who build parts to last 10 years. Li-ion battery will go bad in 10 years just like your iPhone does. Salt in Midwest winter will corrode everything in 10 years…And many more…
Nothing will last forever, eventually Entropy wins.

Couple things need to be added, EV credit is not refundable so you don't get money back unless you owe tax money. Other thing is that insurance is about the double for any tesla.
No longer true. It's a straight credit of $7500 without worrying about tax owed

Hard to say. The competitors have over 100 years experience perfecting build quality. Tesla is focusing on performance versus build quality. It is your preference. None of the competition has anything remotely close as far as efficiency of the internals is concerned. If you see Sandy Munros comparison of Tesla vs the Mustang, the latter has miles more electric wiring to perform the same function. This adds inefficiency and weight. If you want the best electric car, Tesla is it. If you prefer fit and finish, then Tesla may not be it. In any case, with these rebates, Tesla is a much better deal than any comparable ICE car provided you have the charging capability.
