    Cheaper to buy a new Model Y?

    I think the dealers bought the model y's at too high of a price. They don't want to sell the cars because they would realize those loses. I'm assuming the dealers are just delaying the inevitable? I guess they are hoping the economy gets better, and the "good times" come back where they can...

    Discussion: Model 3 and Y price drop Jan 2023 / April 2023 / Oct 2023 and All other Pricing Speculation going forward

    China is a huge market. 25% tariff?? I don't think anyone wants a trade war? Also, doesn't china own a bunch of our debts??? I think USA would be hurt if china decides to sell a lot of our debt. Anyways, not a economics expert, just some guy who can't wait until Tesla's become like Toyotas...

    Discussion: Model 3 and Y price drop Jan 2023 / April 2023 / Oct 2023 and All other Pricing Speculation going forward

    Well, Elon did state that much. He's could be lying :) I really do want to see how low Elon can get his cars to be. He's definitely embarrassing a lot of ICE manufacturers. I think he personally gotten other manufacturers to lower their prices.

    Buying a Tesla for another person

    It's actually a loan... so I don't think it's a taxable event.

    Need opinions - tell me I’m right

    The "family" does not live in a bubble. The "family" relies on other people. You can lose friends. However, your "family" will also lose network connections. Need your son to get his first job? Sorry, your "friend" Jake no longer considers you a friend, so he's going to help his other real...

    Need opinions - tell me I’m right

    Your wife is putting you in a no win situation. The golden rule is to treat others how you would like to be treated. You help your friends, they help you. If you always focus on putting your family first. Your friends will take note, and will always put their family first. This is not a...

    Worried about the future of Tesla

    It's the media... If I listened to the media, I would be worried also... Get past the media and look at the hard facts (or just listen to other points of view), Tesla is not in a bad spot.

    Worried about the future of Tesla

    Elon is polarizing.... and water is wet. Right now, Elon hate is probably at it's highest. The only question is why do people hate Elon? I conjecture it's because of his politics. Just like during the Vietnam war where the silent majority was for the war in Vietnam and vilified those that...

    IRS raises maximum eligible price limit to $80k for Model Y

    Herd mentality... which is ironic because most people think they are better than average, but then act "average"....

    IRS raises maximum eligible price limit to $80k for Model Y

    The rule change was to help the unions since most of their cars did not qualify. This is especially true if a tesla car could qualify and a union non tesla car could not. The difference between the two would be large. Now the difference between the two would be smaller making the union car...

    Elon now under (yet another) investigation by SEC over false self driving claims

    Maybe those that bought fsd and still have their cars, get their money back? Probably cheaper for tesla than retrofitting with new hardware. I think there are approximately 250k FSD users. At an average of 6k per user, that's still under 2 billion dollars. Tesla has like 20 billion...

    Model Y Not Worth the Price Now [Nov 2022]

    I want to get one.... one of these days... Not in a rush unless something happens to my old prius which is likely I suppose due to it's age and mileage.. It's living on borrowed time according to people at priuschat and any minute now, it's going to cr@p out on me. It is what it is...

    Snippiness 2.0

    A few months ago I was helping my parents look for a tesla. But at the time (got a VIN and everything) but at the last minute they decided to not get one. Yeah, being on here is like a force of habit. I plan on getting one but I just don't want to get "screwed by tesla" so I'll wait...

    Cybertruck announce prices may actually happen

    Yes, Musk is a smart guy and has done some amazing things... But yet, you cannot fathom him putting into production a silly thing as a Cyber truck? Ok, whatever.. you be you...

    Model Y Not Worth the Price Now [Nov 2022]

    I didn't buy a Tesla... So I yeah, I guess I didn't get screwed by the price drop. You as an adult bought a new Tesla with your own money for a price you agreed upon... You are now driving around in a fancy late model Tesla, while I'm just mopping around in 10 year old prius with over 200K...
