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'm waiting for Tesla to add radar or lidar. Ive experienced the phantom braking of their camera only system on a hill driving into the sunset. Unnerving.
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.
Bruh. IIHS rates the 2024 Tesla Model Y as a Top Safety pick + The highest safety rating available.
But I guess that is just another shitty test by a shitty organization? Can't have it both ways
Absolutely false, you can filter the results on the page by what qualifies and what does not. Those inventory starting under 40 most certainly do not qualify.
Having a tax credit income limit is a great way to keep those with a higher income from buying an electric vehicle. I'm a higher income single filer, so that's the only reason I haven't bought one.
I've driven a '16 P90D Model S for the past year and a half. At 90% charge, it gets 202 miles.
I was only able to get 70-75% of the stated range. Mind you, with any ICE car I've owned, I've been able to get the EPA estimates for MPG. Often, more than the EPA estimate.
For the P90D, this resulted in a true range of 140-150 though it showed 200 miles after charging.
That was the con.
Everything else was a dream come true. Beautiful car. Drove amazingly. Never having inconvenience of getting gas.
For reference, prior to the Tesla, I drove a Lexus Es350H, BMW 640, Audi SQ5 and a Tundra.

Yup, don't believe that either…. Both ways, lol.
Point is your post is meaningless and the test says nothing about the quality of the system… what it is actually about is how much nagging does the system do to the stupid human.
Not sure how you don't see the difference here???
The test and articles are obviously click-bait for people like yourself to pull excerpts out of and say "FSD UNSAFE, RUN!!!!"
Just more fear mongering to add to the pile.
Keep up the good work!

I see no new ones under 40k WITHOUT the credit.
I see no new ones that vanish when I filter to only credit-eligible.

Do you have a link for any new one that doesn't qualify?

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.
Doesn't it take anywhere from 15 min. to an hour to charge with a supercharger and many hours/days when charging at home? How does that save time?
Doesn't it take anywhere from 15 min. to an hour to charge with a supercharger
15ish minutes will add near 200 miles of range--- so you'll rarely ever charge longer than that at a supercharger unless you really want to (like you want a sit down meal so you won't be ready to move the car even if the car is charged enough to do so)
So that stop is about the same length of time you'd spend stopping in a gas car both to refuel and use a bathroom, get drinks, etc during a road trip.
Since you leave the house with 260-310 miles of range on your trip that gets you roughly 450-500 miles down the road with that single stop. On the off chance you're a marathonner road tripper a second 10-15 minute stop gets you to 600-700 miles in a day.

and many hours/days when charging at home? How does that save time?
You're asleep while it's charging, so that's 0 of your time wasted.
Versus the 5-10 minutes per external gas station stop weekly (or bi-weekly if you drive a lot) wasted in a gas car- every week all year you're driving locally.
In net, you waste far more time "fueling" a gas car than an EV thanks to home charging.
Now if you don't HAVE home charging (or work charging- since many folks just plug in for 8 hours there instead)-- and have to RELY on public chargers, the math changes significantly- but that's a minority of people (in the US at least)
