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.

Gonna be honest, Teslas are the only car I frequently see on the side of the road..
I drove to Big Bear while it was snowing. I saw 6 Tesla's on the side of the road and abandoned. No other car was stranded.
I really wanted an EV but they do have limitations.
I do not know on what basis you consider this is best car. My story: Got in March 2023 after taking all credits the out of door price was 47,500. In Jan 2024 went to carmax and Carvana for check trade-in, they came with just 36K for having 9,250 mileage with clean history and excellent condition. Come March 2024 went to trade-in, final offer was given 31,000 with same mileage. Insurance cost is high and luxury inside is crap
The fact that prices have come down only benefits current buyers.
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.
I am very tempted. Its great tech and is why its #1 … but the future is uncertain … just in …

I can not resist a slick deal. We don't "need" a new car but we've been watching for model Ys to come down in price while federal and NJ incentives are still available. We didn't need long range since our Model 3 SR+ (250m) has plenty of range for us but just pulled the trigger on Y LR:
$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.
That would be me……bought our MYP Jul '22 for quick delivery after watching gas prices start to hike that summer in CA.
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! 😝😝
And here I was bichin about rising rates here... 26/27 cents this year per kw delivered

As others said it was cheaper last month with charging credits. If you can wait you'll get a better deal. Especially with news reports that ev sales slowing, I'm guessing they will finally drop it back to precovid prices soon with low demand and glut of supply with their dynamic pricing model, and they definitely have margin to go back to $40k model y pricing.imho
This will depend on inventory, right now it's all time high for Model Y, but on the other hand read today that Hyundai is planning production in Georgia in October this year, this may put more pressure on Tesla as both ionic 5 and 6 should qualify for full tax credit, making ionic 6 way cheaper than Model 3.
Recently, the IIHS began evaluating partially autonomous driving systems – a feature that has become a major selling point for automakers like General Motors and Tesla, as it promises effortless driving to its customers.
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."
I have only one advice for you. Don't get into accidents and drive defensively. A friend of mine had two minor accidents already. Someone sideswiped him and the other he rear ended another car. Super expensive repairs and over $10k. As a previous poster mentioned that repairs are slow. He was without his car for almost a month he told me.
Just gotten in a rear ended with my Y. I can tell you have experience that's repair time with the Y is pretty standard. The time frame was dependent on the insurance adjuster. There are more tesla certified shops now.

I'm no FSD or Tesla fan… but, FFS dude, did you even read what they "graded" the systems with???
"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."
I own two 2023 Teslas - and a decent amount of Tesla stock.
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.
I have a 2019 Model 3 SR+ with about 60k miles on it. Battery at 95% and the only work I have had to do was replace the 12v battery and a set of tires. No squeaks or rattles and it was doing so good I gave it to my daughter. I think they sorted the Model 3 out by 2019. Out of the 3 teslas that I own, they have all been problem free and it does feel really weird that the Model 3 and Y hit 50k basic warranty and had never seen a service center since I picked them up new. My normal ICE cars were going for an oil change and some warranty work every 7500 miles (BMW and honda).

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.

Conflicting reports out there.
