As my friend Gray would put it... neither enemy nor friend...

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.

Legacy M3 and MY are known to have stiff suspensions. This has been resolved in refresh (Highland) Model 3 and refresh (Juniper) Model Y.

1.99APR is good, not good enough for me. I'd like to buy another MY (no hurry, as I'm not too big a fan of keeping 3 cars around); waiting to see what end of quarter brings. Hope EV tax credit end soon (don't qualify) maybe there'll be price cut.

EV is really convenient with at-home charging, no more trips to the gas station. This is a real game changer than gas car drivers wouldn't know until they buy an EV.

Still need to keep a gas car around for long trips. The superchargers, as fast as they are, are still too slow and inconvenient for trips (they are also very expensive).

PSA, when buying used Tesla, buy ones with HW4 (hardware 4). Usually, this means mid-2023 or newer Teslas. HW4 gets you all the updates and features.

The Long Range RWD is now available to order but the 1.99% promotion doesn't NOT apply to it.

Lemon lawyers usually work on contingency, meaning Tesla pays the legal fees etc and no charge to you, and they will give you free consultations when you contact them so I would just google lemon lawyers in your area is what I did and describe your situation of how many repair attempts/how long in service. If they agree to take the case they're usually 95% sure they will win.
Thanks

Thought most car manufacturers offered low APR. I know Honda has 1.9% now. Is this something Tesla just don't typically do?

They do promotions from time to time. Sometimes lower MSRP, sometimes lower APR. They tend to happen at the middle of a quarter and at the end of the quarter, and sometimes both line up at the same time at end of year.

We haven't had an issue driving long distances in a Model 3. I just plug it in the Tesla Nav and it plots all the stops for me. We stop about every 3-4 hours which is also about the time someone is hungry, thirsty, needs a break. The car even tells you how long to charge to get to the next stop the quickest so you aren't stopping and topping up past where you need to be to continue the journey.

Have a M3 for year and a half now. Zero complaints! Love it. Everyone I know who owns one also is very positive about theirs. Seems like a lot of fake negative reviews

Same. Setting the lock sound to fart is one of the simple joys in life. Setting the wife's car to fart is even better. As they say, it's the little things in life.

Yup- realistically road trips won't take significantly longer than they do in a gas vehicle unless you either drive like 700+ miles per day, you're driving somewhere -very- remote, or you're a never-stops-and-pees-in-a-bottle sorta driver.


For everyone else you drive like 200-250 miles from home, stop for 10-15 minutes at a supercharger where you can use a restroom, grab a drink or snack, etc, then drive another 200-250 miles- personally I'm flying if my destination is much more than 500 miles away, but if you need to keep going at this point just a second 10-15 minute stop gets you up to 600-700 total miles travelled on the day.

While EVs can be great for around town errands, or a predefined commute when you have home charging, where they really fall flat is road tripping.

Imagine having to drive the route that the car tells you because you have to get to the next supercharger. Can't go where I want when I want, have to follow the route.

Then, lets hope there is no line at the SC. A lot of these "it's only a 15 minute stop" claims assume you pull right up to a high-speed charger. Not always the case.

Then there are the times that there are emergency evacuations that people were stuck in huge lines waiting for a SC and could only get as far as the charge they had when they left and were stranded.
