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.

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?
I'll share coming from a Toyota Highlander Hybrid (2007) and Model 3 RWD LR (2018).
1) Reliability - Toyota is known for this. With most ICE cars as long as you keep up with maintenance you're typically good. If I had no place to charge I would drive a Toyota.
Tesla (Model 3/Y) I haven't had any major issues in the past 5 years, my 4 years of standard warranty resolved whatever issues I had (nothing power train related). Except the 12v battery which mobile service came out to fix under warranty during the pandemic.
Tesla's are reliable, enough where it was our primary and only car for a few years.
2) Cost of Repair - I did pay for a heater core for $900. I haven't heard of this surfacing for other model years except 2018-2019. Outside of that windshield washer fluid and cabin air filters which I do myself. I'm on year 6 of ownership.
One of the good things about repairs on a Tesla is the transparency of what is being replaced and cost. Since if people had their car serviced they typically post how much it costs in labor and parts. For typical ICE vehicles good luck finding a good mechanic.
3) Depreciation - Toyota's are like the iPhones, still worth a decent amount in the used market. Even if it's an older model you know what you're getting, something that works. But all cars depreciate, also as Tesla continues to scale in efficiency when building these things comes down in price.
The market is finally coming back down for consumers and personally it's great for used car buyers.
Having driven on ICE for over 15 years and PHEV/EV for the past 7-8 years. I can never go back to ICE. People who generally argue EV's suck have never driven both. Most EV drivers have driven both types of cars.
I would do it again, especially with today's used prices I think it's a steal along with the improvements they've made with the car over the years.
I paid over $60k in 2018 with FSD. You can probably find the same features on a newer model for less than 30k on the used market.
Oh I can also say this car never feels old to drive. My 2018 can drive itself and this wasn't unavailable until end of 2022 beginning of 2023. It's like waking up to a new car with every update.
I also use to do my own car maintenance with oil changes, spark plugs, whatever you can do in a garage. I don't miss any of that. Including going to the gas station. My time is worth more and an EV saves me that.
I know tesla objectively makes the best ev at the moment but others are catching up. I would be in a model 3 right now but I refuse to line the pockets of a man child billionaire . So I'll wait for toyota to offer something worthwhile
I'm still trying to see where others are catching up. If you mean Ford and GM users are trying to figure out how their information is getting shared with their insurance companies sure.

I have a Hyundai ioniq 6 and it's a great car. Check out the reviews on the ioniq 5,6 and the Kia's like the new EV9

Of all the big makes hyundai seems to be caught up in the same segment as tesla. that lease deal in the ioniq 6 is a steal and way better than this tsla deal. Gm had the formula right with the bolt, cheap and good enough but as typical with gm they axe a good product prematurely. Ford needs to update their mustang and f150 EVs and work out their bugs badly

We have and ended up getting a used 2020 Model X for under $40k, our 2nd EV next to Model 3.
We leased a 2018 Kia Soul EV in the past with rarely any issues but decided to stick with Tesla. Also Kia/Hyundai has no NACS support. Superchargers for those road trips because of family.

Model Y LR owner. Happy with car city driving, in fact, it's near perfect EV for it. But disappointed with long distance like 200+ mile trip on TX highway. Know that you will be adding 1+ hrs to your travel because of charging stops. And to make matters frustrating sometimes superchargers are expensive ($0.31+); a typical hybrid will cost about the way, a best hybrid will be less … but no stopping to charge.

TPTB hate Musk because he makes them look incompetent.
Figure 1: nationwide Supercharger network that literally forced everyone off a standard that already existed because it was simply too good, compared to the Inflation Reduction Act-funded NEVI charger program that's nearly three years old and has installed a grand total of around ~20 already obsolete CCS chargers, on orphaned charging networks, in places where they'll never be used.
Figure 2: single-handedly destroying United Launch Alliance's/Russia's stranglehold on orbital placement capability. Imagine how mad you must be as a Lockheed or Boeing executive, already penciling in 50 years of lucrative government contacts for delivering near-nothing, then this PayPal a**hole comes in.
Figure 3: Friend/enemy distinction. He makes people I don't like angry, thus, I like him.

You sound like a very sad person. I hope this Tesla brings you more joy.
Talking about EVs I have suddenly started noticing quite a few Vinfast EVs in my area. Never heard about this brand until recently. Interesting a Vietnamese brand made it here in the US.
