Holy crap!!!! The $65000 RZ450e AWD with 20" wheels only does 172 miles on the highway. EPA range says 196mi. Meanwhile the $48500 ($50500) model Y AWD with 20" wheels does 286 miles (EPA range estimate is 279 miles. BEATS EPA). Not a single tech blog will write an article about how this is highway robbery (pun intended as this is literal
A quick look into reviews indicates a much better luxury trim, a lot less road/drivetrain noise, and supple suspension. A quick look also shows an equivalent size / range.
If that last sentence ruffled feathers, I'm proving a point- comparing to this car because it's better than the worst aspects of Telsa ... isn't looking at the integral whole of that balanced tradeoff / compromise.
Back to the RZ450e for example of a totally mixed message/balance - they added a fighter-pilot yoke steering wheel. By itself, perhaps soft butts that hate lateral-Gs might want some fantasy-coolness factor. But alas, it also includes about 200-degrees lock-lock (non-proportional) steering (cuz doing hand-over-hand on a yoke is ... shhh, don't tell them). Yo, Toyota, the yoke stays on your TA-1 ... killing your panic-oversteer buyers is bad for business.
Dont have a pony in the race - I have a '02 Jetta and '05 CR-V. Sure, Tesla occupied a plant 100x bigger / ill-fitting at building their EV, while taking its roadster design to the masses by slapping SUV / luxury labels on multiple lines with barely a stable TQM process.
But that was then, and now sales reflect a balanced design with value when compared to (past?) competition- which is no saving grace to those that bought - to the point that people still buy -with the trim (known to commonly) come slipshod?
I got ruffled when two called the Tesla a Ford Focus - a mundane point A-B car. I'm now thinking its meant to reflect on the control systems as being utilitarily embedded (much like hidden CGI)- perhaps we finally domesticated the computer.
Model 3 is $250/mo with $4500 down. 10k mile limit.
You can't buy the car when the lease is up. This is only for the 2 year lease term and only good till Dec 31st, 2023 as the tax credit for leases get cut in half and is in limbo in 2024.

So the car by default comes with Wifi and you can pay MyQ for using their app in your car to open MyQ doors.
Homelink, the old RF thing, requires additional hardware- it's $350 and they'll send someone to your house in install it in the car included in the price.

If you're wondering why they don't include homelink HW by default in every car- they used to- but Homelink charges them a license for every unit installed regardless of if it gets used, and data from the fleet suggested enough people weren't using it (either no garage, too lazy to program, or they had a MyQ they preferred using) that it made more economic sense for Tesla and for customers to leave it out and just offer it as an option to those who still want one.
If your income is much LOWER this year then it's potentially tougher to tell... but broadly speaking you should have a $7500 tax burden if you earn (after standard or itemized deduction) roughly 54k single or 69k married filing jointly.

it's actually not.
The EV credit, if you qualify, would be one of the things you add up to get the # going on line 20- which is the sum of non-refundable credits from schedule 3, which combined with line 19 is the total number you subtract from what appears on line 18. If that is 0 or less, you enter 0 on line 22.
Line 24 is line 22 plus what you enter on line 23.
Thus line 18, which is what you start with before applying the credit, is the place to look. By the time you get to line 24 you've potentially added other things into the math AFTER where you'd apply the EV credit.
(I suppose you could make a decent argument for line 22 though if you're in the rare situation of having multiple OTHER non-refundable credits or something)
You must've not being in a Tesla or driven one for such an ignorant comment.
I just took a 10 hour road trip yesterday that's mixed of highway and local roads where Tesla FSD did 99% of the driving. Tell me your Honda Civc, or any other car on the market can do that.
