Ok look...

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.

This is not as good as the March deal. They are all $1000 more expensive. The other discounts were available most of q1.

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.

Quote from howdydo :
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?
This is technically true but, in the real world, is effectively untrue IF you have a home charger. In the real world, the time you spend WAITING for it to charge is much less than the time that you spend waiting for your gas tank to be refilled. You plug it in at night when you get home, forget about it, and unplug in the morning when you leave. Full tank. Effectively no "waiting" at all. Few people drive more than 250 miles a day, so the need to use an outside Tesla supercharger is rare (again IF you have a home charger) as you just plug in again when you return at the end of the day (or, if you drive 50 miles or less a day, maybe you plug in once every 4-5 days or so). And it's cheaper than gas.

When you do take a longer road trip, it's really not a big deal even then. You can sit in the car and watch Netflix or use something else on the infotainment screen while you wait, or get out an walk around a bit. Yes, definitely more inconvenient than simply refueling with gas, but not prohibitively so. And still cheaper than gas.

If you live in an apartment and have to use superchargers regularly, I'd imagine charging could get a little old though.

Yes, we are in San Diego. We also have solar and that provides a large offset of our cost. But SDG&E keeps charging us to be part of the grid and if we use even a little we get hit with transmission fees and other add-ons that push the price up horribly. Even with that BS, the EV is still way cheaper than gas at $4.25+...

Would love it if this would finally leave the top of my "for you" page after days of it being there, given that I have zero interest.

Quote from Knightshade :
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.





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)
Adding 200 miles of charge in 15 minutes is attainable but not probable in most situations, especially in California. I've been to 250kW stations several times and rarely have I ever gotten anywhere near that. Normally I get half if I'm lucky. More often than not you'll be splitting the charge rate with someone next to you. There are other variables that could reduce your charge rate like if your battery is cold, what your starting charge level is, max charge rate for your vehicle (I believe standard range is less than long range), how crowded the supercharger station is and who's next to you, etc…

Just an anecdotal, if the place you go to has limited or few charging stations, you'd literally be strapped to find a fill up. We had issues with a friend who ski's with us, where his model 3 SR leaving home with a full charge would need to stop for an almost full top off at a supercharger. Cold weather + heating needs=lower range. He won't even consider going with us to further slopes because he has to stop for 3-4 charges to make it home. 250 miles each way, just with some hills and very cold.

I'm not saying not to get it, just know what your getting and adjust yourself to that condition.

From a science standpoint, it is easier to make electricity than it is to make gas.

Quote from apathe :
And wasn't the Model Y roughly the current price when it released? My understanding was that the Model Y price was substantially increased during the pandemic due to supply/chip constraints, and was then lowered back down to its original price. I haven't noticed any atypical depreciation outside of those who bought a Model Y at the worst possible time, during an extreme industry supply crunch.
And to add to that, when the prices were inflated due to the supply/chip shortage, I could have sold my 3 year old Model 3 with 45k miles for the same price I bought it for to Carvana. That is wild, but I didn't do it because new car prices were up there.

I'm in San Diego also. Solar is the way to go if you have an EV. Not too difficult to have an electric bill close to $10 or whatever it is for hookup.

What people don't seem to realize is that the best thing about EV and Plug in hybrids is that they help keep the price of gas low. If we can get more EVs out there then gas prices will be stable and go down. It may take a decade but it's a real effect.

Quote from squish :
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).
2019 definitely was the turning point (I'd argue late 2019) for the Model 3 - but still a bit of a toss up.

If you drive a 2023 Model 3, you'll see what myself and that other commenter are talking about. I got a 2019 M3 as a loaner and I was shocked at how harsh the ride was and how loud the cabin is. They made huuuuuuge improvements in the years that followed.

I see no new ones that vanish when I filter to only credit-eligible.

Also at the top of the page:




Do you have a link for any new one that doesn't qualify?
Wern't you the one saying if you bought after April 1, the price would go up? LOL. The price ALWAYS goes down. Goodbye margins (also, missed deliveries by 50k units while destroying margins).

Funny how charging is always talked about. It is obvious by those parroting mistruths and half-truths that they will never get one, for whatever reasons.

Supercharging is too fast for me, as in not enough time to shop or eat something.

Most people I know charge at home overnight. It's 40 miles an hour with a 48amp 220volt supply. So let's say 8 hours from a zero charge. Who cares? I don't, I'm sleeping. It's full in the morning. Many people charge their phones the same way, when they are asleep.

Are you pulling in at 60% already or something? Anyone should be able to get it at a V3 charger if they pull in with a low charge.


Quote from chasemyaccord :

That's only on much older chargers-- like 150kw and slower.

V3 chargers, which came out over 5 years ago, and are the vast majority of all chargers open today, do not split charge

https://www.tesla.com/blog/introd...ercharging
Quote from Tesla in 2019 :
Supercharger stations with V3's new power electronics are designed to enable any owner to charge at the full power their battery can take – no more splitting power with a vehicle in the stall next to you.

Except it did, in fact, go up $1000. As fairly widely reported. LOL indeed.

You seem to be confused (again) between the regular price on a new factory order (which went up $1000 on April 1) and the price on inventory take-it-as-configured models which are always cheaper than order-from-factory pricing.

Most legacy dealers have always done this... if you take something already on the lot it's likely to be cheaper than if you want to order a config they don't already have sitting there.

I'm sorry my reading comprehension is poor - so these are the prices BEFORE the instant upfront $7,500 credit, right?

Last couple times I took my MIL's Model 3 with LFP battery to our local supercharger (which is 250kW), I never hit more than 125kW (granted one time was with a cold battery). Both times I was around 30% or below. I took our Y LR there a few times too and I don't ever remember getting anywhere near peak. I've had similar experiences in Vegas and Baker as well.

You're right, I forgot V3 doesn't power share but it certainly doesn't feel like it.
