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.

Yes, it's a phenomenal price for what you get, particularly the long range Model Y. We bought one. However, it's been at this price (and lower under some circumstances) for the past six months, so it's not a radical change of anything.
Total cost of ownership in years 4-10 is unacceptable.
This is true for leasing. Not true for ownership.
Buy a long range Model Y out the door for ~$42K (I assume 7% tax). Hold for 8 years (length of warranty) and sell for ~$12K. Average monthly depreciation is $312/month. Add some buffer for maintenance and total cost of ownership is about $340/
Is leasing cheaper than $340/month?
I ran the numbers on Teslas site and leasing the same car is $524/month plus maintenance. Ok, we don't account for the time cost of money, but we also don't account for the fact that lease costs will increase every 36 months.

I do not recommend buying a tesla for one reason. I own a tesla and love it. Last week, I had an accident, and the car will require some repair. You can only repair it at a tesla certified Collison shop. Earliest I found near me to get an estimate was 3 month away, I found one that is a bit far 45 days away, this is just for them to look at it, God knows how much time to get parts and fix it. If you buy it, make sure you get a car rental insurance with it. I live in the Seattle area

Looking like a hockey puck buying Tesla model 3 LR for $60k in 2018
Nah man, I did the same, it was phenomenal value at the time. No other product came close. The market is just moving very fast with EVs. That's a good thing. I traded up my 2018 Model 3 LR for a Model Y for only $16K out of pocket. Also phenomenal value.
