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.

At high speeds, wind noise is the primary driver of sounds, followed by tire. In this way, it's as quiet as any other non-luxury brand, but if you're coming from Lexus, BMW, and friends, it'll feel like driving a Volkswagen or Chevrolet
I *could* drop 40-50K out the door for a Tesla, which would mean 800/yr registration, 200+/mo insurance, having to deal with a charger at home, or even worse out in public for 4x the time and hassle. The interest and return on my savings pays for my gas. However, I could go really really fast in this Tesla but that's the last thing I ever want to do because it's dangerous and I value safety for all things around me. I'd also rather reduce and reuse by buying used which is good for the environment.
So who are these absolute morons embarrassing America daily?
You should have a way to charge the car at home since it really adds to the convenience.
The current price is nowhere close to that. Price of Model Y will definitely go down for whoever is worth considering it.

Even lower when the newer version releases this fall. Tesla China is ramping up to release it by this year

Anyways I bought mine in late Feb with the extra $1k off. I feel like I got a great deal and love it so far. Very fun and fast car to drive!!!!!!!! If you are in the market buy it now... I never understood waiting to buy something you really want just to save a couple of dollars. That only means you didn't really want it in the first place. Oh well my 2 cents lol!!!
Pricing also varies tremendously from one company to the next- a recent comparison (where they got quotes on a Tesla from like 15 different insurance companies- using the same person for each quote) varied from as low as like $1500 a year to as high as like $4500 a year.
Same car, same person, same location, same coverage-- just different insurance company.
My own insurance is about the same on my Tesla as it was on the gasoline Lexus it replaced. YMMV of course.
Only if you often drive significantly more than 40-50 miles a day would you need to bother putting in a 240v plug for faster charging... (and many places already have one for their dryer, hot tub, or higher end shop tools).
But yeah if you routinely drive like 100 miles a day or something it's a factor to consider... if your fuse box has space and available amps and is near your charging location it's still going to be under 1k for electrical work most places... but if you've got a weird/complex setup it might be significantly more.
Why doesn't the truck count? Currently they're selling founder editions, which is basically "If you want to jump to the front of the line pay an extra 20k" and demand is so high they're still getting takers on that.
Elon hasn't sold any Tesla shares since 2022.
You seem to have a lot of inaccurate and out of date info.
Over the cradle to grave lifetime of a vehicle an EV will produce FAR less emissiosn than a gas car.
And the batteries don't go to graveyards-

You waste considerably more time throughout the year fueling a gas car than an EV.
Again this is flat out false, total emission over vehicle lifetime- including MFG emissions, are much lower for an EV than a gas car.
