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.

I really wanted an EV but they do have limitations.
No trial, case is already settled.
FWIW of the few such cases that did ever go to trial, it was found to be driver error every time.
Don't trade in at Carmax, check Carvana or others. I can get more for my model 3 now than I paid 4 months later with thousands of miles.

$53,990 sticker
$ 1,390 destination
- $5,400 price adjustment
- $7,500 federal
- $4,000 employer EV reimbursement
No NJ sales tax/registration ($2,700 savings)
Came down to a comparable cost to buying a $36,000 ICE car.
Fast forward to early 2023 and watched that $20-$30K fly out the door.
I can't complain about the car itself…a fun drive for sure. I can complain that the continual PG&E rate hikes (to cover CA wildfire payouts) drove my monthly home charging cost through the roof.
When I saw that Hertz off-loaded their entire Tesla fleet a few months ago, I decided to get something for mine while I still could.
Leased an ID4 with free 3 year charging. Where I live, the EA network is mostly reliable, although never as seamless as the Tesla Superchargers. VW gave us just enough $$$ to payoff our Tesla loan. I saw that they ended up selling it for that same price two months later.
I'll wait to see how the EV market stabilizes over the next three years before taking a next step. I'll be watching the Dodge Ramcharger PHEV to see if the range is as predicted.
I see more and more teslas out there for sure. It struck me as a good car. HOWEVER, after my Tesla experience I always look behind me before I bend over! 😝😝

However, the Institute found many of such systems available on the market to fall flat of its strict guidelines.
Like its crash tests, the IIHS issued one of four ratings – Good being the best score, followed by Acceptable, Marginal, and Poor. Surprisingly, 11 out of the 14 systems tested were given a Poor rating, including Tesla's infamous autopilot and its optional $12,000 "Full Self Driving."

"Many vehicles don't adequately monitor whether the driver is looking at the road or prepared to take control. Many lack attention reminders that come soon enough and are forceful enough to rouse a driver whose mind is wandering. Many can be used despite occupants being unbelted or when other vital safety features are switched off."
So it's all based on the driver not paying attention… not a thing to do with the actual system. Just another shitty "test" by a shitty organization.
And in same article: "Hyundai had its best first quarter ever after EV sales surged 100% in March. The IONIQ 5 set a new sales record with 6,822 units sold in Q1."
Conflicting reports out there.

But I would tell everyone to avoid any of their cars from the first year of model production. Model 3 and Y took about a year to really reach "acceptable" / "design complete" - same can be said about the Cybertrucks people are getting today.
That said - these cars, with incentives and our driving habits - made perfect sense. They've both proven to be very well made cars, with no panel gap issues to speak of.
However everyone I've known with a 2018/2019 Model 3 or 2020 Model Y has talked about the thousands of dollars of "Free" warranty work their cars received to reconcile issues due to immature/incomplete design decisions.
