That version will be coming out soon. The Performance and RWD versions are also pending.

I tested drive Tesla Y two years ago and Ioniq 6/5. The road nosie and road bumps felt in a Tesla was unbearable. In comparison, it was much more smoother and quieter in the Ioniq. So I got an Ioniq 6, pretty much trouble free for the past two years, and the rides have always been comfortable.

A month back, I got myself in a Tesla 3 Uber. It brought me back the poor in-car experience that I had when I tested the Tesla.

Just telling my own personal experience tied to my own personal taste, for the car only; not politics related.

I got my 2022 model 3 new and I bought it because I wanted a quicker car. Well I did get that. The road noise and ride quality from that year definitely needed improvement. Other than that my only complaint is that I wasn't anticipating as much of a drop off in residual value as I have. I have 64k total in the car with taxes and some upgrades and my car is worth somewhere in the $20's with 20k miles. That's ridiculous for a mint condition 3 year old car of any brand

My point is, even with their zero or 1.99 percent apr, the rapid decline in residual value outweighs that low apr. just know what you are getting into if you buy this car.

Get an insurance quote before you buy one of these. Setting any politics aside these are way more expensive and lower quality than your other EV choices. And on top of that their death rates are outrageous. I wouldn't consider one even at -25% APY.

Car company vs a tech company masquerading as a car company.

Your mistake was paying $64K for a model 3.

The drop off is largely due to the reinstatement of the federal tax credit. We know who is to blame for that..

All ev cars depreciate in value a ton because of the ev rebates to try to force people into EV cars. I went through the entire process of researching every EV car with the intention of buying an EV car, only to back out because I found out that car dealerships where basically trying to syphon the entire used EV rebate for themselves. They play so many games. They'd even say a car was eligible for the used EV rebate when it wasn't eligible. The great thing about Tesla is that you don't have to deal with scummy dealerships. If we could get rid of dealerships tomorrow the world would be a better place. There is a reason Tesla has the largest marketcap of any car company in the world and among the best selling cars in America. They are game changers in the space.
