There's a pattern with Tesla threads here. I don't care if you all wanna discuss the deal or the cars but it always turns into paaaages and paaaages of bickering back and forth and nobody ,except for the few involved, enjoy that or wanna wade through that. So cut that stuff out, please and thank you.
FYI just because it says "New" doesn't mean it qualifies for the 7500 tax credit. Demo models are new but do not qualify for 7500. If the specific inventory item qualifies it will directly say it on the site.

Thats not how it works. Tesla recommends 80% charging and you dont want it to go below 10% before recharging.
So 80-10 = 70% of 260 = 180 miles total range. In winter you lose 30% or more depending on weather. So you are SOL on certain days.
The standard range model y's rated 260 mile range is a result of a software locked battery. In other words, the 260 miles is close to the recommended 80% charge already
Every friend of mine that owns a Tesla absolutely loves it & they rave about how great it is all the time Like it or not EV's are the future & you'd think everyone would love saving tons of money on gas with top notch tech, but we live amongst absolute morons embarrassing America daily!
I don't like Elon Musk, but I know many people who own Tesla's and they all love them. They don't complain about them at all.

If it is true, this is a great choice. Just charge it to 100% all the time.
Realistically, long range will only go 200 mile, 2 mile for each percent of charge. Tesla did real magic to make it look like 300 miles

Incorrect. The standard range has LFP cells that Tesla says are fine to charge to 100%.
So 260 miles of range=260 miles of range.
or I suppose 234 if you never use the bottom 10%

Not true at all, it's an entirely different battery chemistry fine to charge to 100%.

Too bad electric vehicles are such big polluters...
Far less so than gasoline cars. Too bad people keep lying and claiming otherwise.
I'd be interested, but after being spoiled by Hondas and Toyotas, I have three concerns:
1. Reliability
2. Cost of Repair
3. Depreciation
What are y'all's thoughts on this?
Repairs are very expensive. And extremely slow. On top of that most of the shops won't touch it

While Tesla won't comment on the details of the standard range battery, multiple details point to the fact that it is indeed software locked.
As the charge is near completion, the car will still accept a charge rate of about 40kW. This doesn't happen in a truly full battery. After being "fully charged," regenerative braking still works (because the battery isn't actually full).

I have only one advice for you. Don't get into accidents and drive defensively. A friend of mine had two minor accidents already. Someone sideswiped him and the other he rear ended another car. Super expensive repairs and over $10k. As a previous poster mentioned that repairs are slow. He was without his car for almost a month he told me.

Current owners would often agree to Venmo you a few bucks for the 'points' they'd get in a referral.

You can change the zip to yours to search for the existing inventory.

The weight, the fact they tell you 100% charge is fine, and slower 0-60 all tell you it's an LFP battery that isn't software locked.
What would be the point in software locking a pack they only use in standard range vehicles?
Are you maybe confusing the current vehicle with the AWD 4680 one they were selling for a while but haven't sold recently?
You can get the credit via leasing, but can't buy it at the end.
