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.

so cal edison is 33 cent a kwh
pg&e in nor cal is 45 cent a kwh
so in california, owning an EV cost 7 cent a mile. owning toyota hybrid cost 4 cent a mile. which one is more of a slick deal?
If you charge at certain SCs, the cost is also lower than PGE. Three come to mind: Tuers Rd (by Dennys) in San Jose, Elk Grove Blvd (by Walmart) in Sacramento, and Palladio Pkwy (by Victorias Secret) in Folsom.
Guess which one is a favorite?
Side note, what's really wild to me is that, if this thread is anything like the last several Tesla threads, it's going to get down voted to hell..... All the while, the near-bankrupt and very buggy Fisker Ocean thread has 144 TU as of this posting....the kicker being that the lower/cheaper trims are hardly even available to purchase in the US.
I might be slightly biased as a recent MY owner but I'd hardly consider myself a fan boy... It's still just so interesting reading all of the reasons why people would never own a Tesla. I'm not saying it's the perfect car but at the end of the day, we're talking about a vehicle in the same price range as a mid-trim Honda Accord. For this money, you're getting a very American-made, tech heavy, fast, reliable, maintenence-free, insanely safe car...quite a bargain IMHO. 🤷🏻
Edit: Whelp, as I typed this, it looks like this post deviated from past trends and is getting a good amount of positive attention. 👍
Also, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) are currently looking into a safty matter regarding doors not openning.
Fisker could be gone, wait and see. Tesla is here to stay, deal with the "deals" as they come and go.
"New" cars will ALWAYS have miles on them in the USA as the government requires the dealships to test drive them before they place them up for sale.
Cheers,

Change cabin air filter every 2-3 years
Test (but only replace if it fails the test) brake fluid every 4 years.
Replace A/C dessicant bag every 4 years.
Rotate tires routinely.
That's it.
(oh, and clean/lube brake calipers every 12 months if you live someplace they put salt on roads in the winter)
No oil changes, no coolant changes, no transmission fluid changes, no differential fluid changes, no spark plugs or wire to change, no fuel filter to change, no engine air filter to change, etc.
Nobody knows that- primarily because it's not true.

433,371 produced, 386,810 delivered. Not even 50k difference let alone 100k.
And at least a chunk of that gap is cars that are still in transit because due to the Houthi pirate stuff they need to take a longer route delivering cars from China to Europe.
Days of inventory, even if the longer transit times wasn't a thing, is still vastly lower than any other car company.
As to Chinese pressure---I think you have that backward- BYDs BEV sales dropped more QoQ than Teslas did.
Without solar, PG&E charge cost is higher than gas.
