Available models:

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.

and home charging is so expansive in cali.
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?
How are you calculating the hybrid getting 4 cents a mile?
How are you calculating the hybrid getting 4 cents a mile?
They're not, just making up numbers.
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.
That's a fair criticism that their "Demo" models are listed with their (actual) new inventory. But just an FYI, inventory/discount availability depends significantly on location. Your area may only show demo models for the OP price but I hope you can find a new one relatively close to you.
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. 👍
You lost me at reliable and maintenance free. You do know there are maintenance needed right? You do know these cars break down very early in its life?
Fisker has not filed for bankruptcy yet and are in talks with Nissan as an investor/partner.
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,
That potential Nissan deal has been terminated since March 25
I would expect a deeper discount given they over-produced about 100,000 last Q, plus the price pressure from the Chinese EV brand (although not as much in the US as we have a free market economy here

It's disappointing that some people paid $10-20k more for these cars. While they may be worth it, Tesla should at least compensate these buyers in some way.
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.

And if the price goes higher, should the people who bought it cheaper compensate tesla..?
Went and test drove the Y a couple of weeks ago. Almost threw up afterwards. The car has nice acceleration but that stop and go feeling made me nauseous. has anyone else experienced this? I also test drove an Ioniq 5 and Ariya but didn't feel sick. Even after turning down the regen brakes, I didn't notice a difference but maybe it was locked out from being changed on their demo cars. Anyway that motion sickness is really the only thing holding me back from going with a Y
I have family members who say the same thing about tesla. I don't have the problem. They always avoid driving with me because of the car sickness 😬
If you charge at home with PG&E, your price would be about 50 cents per kWh, your cost per mile is 16 cents. Suggest you look around for super charging. My Tesla super charge station costs 14 cents per kWh after 8pm. Even peak is just 29 cents ,way lower than PG&E.
Without solar, PG&E charge cost is higher than gas.

Maintenance free meaning no oil changes, no break changes (if you use regen breaking effectively), most we do is windshield wiper fluid refill and thats not even considered maintenance.

Guess which one is a favorite?
