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.

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.
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)
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.

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

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.

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

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

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