That is what I gleaned from my brief impression as well in a 2021 Model Y. Seemed significantly quieter than the 2018 Model 3 I had with better quality materials. Was only in a newer 3 for a very short time so not sure to what extent this comparable to newer 3s. Can anyone comment on 2021 Ys vs...

In addition to range, charging times, and, more importantly, safety and autonomous capabilities.

To a great extent it would depend on what the tech and cars are like 6 years from now.

It is the comfort and convenience features, the quality, choice and placement of materials, the quietness and smoothness of the ride, think first class vs economy, though some makes considered luxury such as BMW and Porsche, veer more towards performance. Look at any high end Mercedes, BMW, Audi...

What’s the reason for this?

I understand why one may not consider C Class luxury. BMW 3 even less so. But look at the new C-Class. On many objective measures, it is orders of magnitude more premium and luxurious than the Model 3. I’m not talking about it’s design, but rather the build quality, quality and choice of...

Well even in that price range, there are more premium options. The Taycan, Lucid Air, Mercedes EQS etc. Upstarts innovate by bettering incumbents on certain product/service characteristics. But eventually, the competition catches up and people start looking elsewhere if you don’t measure up...

Has anyone owned both 2018 and 2021/2022 Model 3s (non-performance)? What would you say are the improvements/differences beyond the obvious updates that are well known? I had a mid 2018 and it was great to drive, but there were a few complaints. The wind noise at highway speeds was absolutely...

To OP’s question, if you don’t need a car right away, I’d wait 1 - 3 years to see what’s coming. Surely there will be many more options and Tesla too will keep improving their vehicles.

It’s not just the battery and motors. Think of what the battery and autonomous driving technology will be like in 10 years. Would you really want to drive an old beater when you could have a newer, much safer 500+ mile self-driving vehicle that can drive you wherever while you sleep in the...

While not everyone wants “luxury” and such features but many do. The current 3 and Y interiors would be okay in a $25,000 car. In a couple of years once every upmarket automaker has competitive small EV sedans/crossovers at similar prices to Tesla and we’re past the backlog/pent up Tesla...

You have a $125T target for Tesla?? What’s the thesis?

Been looking at iX reviews. If one can ignore the looks that only a mother can love, a lot of reviewers seem to think this is the best EV SUV currently on sale. And it is priced very well, significantly less than a comparable Model X. Lot of neat features such as 4 wheel steering, infrared...

I have to disagree with some of the above posters. If there is anyone that can give Tesla a run for it’s money, it’s Apple. Granted a car is different, but Apple has tremendous expertise in supply chain management and building very high quality products that mostly work seamlessly. Not to...

Actually, some of the new competitors offer better range and some even better performance than Tesla eg Lucid Air While Model 3 and Y are the entry level models, they are still pricey compared to mainstream vehicles and are comparably priced to entry level luxury cars. So in that regard, they...

Absolutely. Definitely a step in the right direction. The Model X is priced comparably to the new Range Rover and the Model S comparably to the new S Class and check out their interiors and features. Once Tesla gets past all this pent up demand and is churning out 2 to 3 million vehicles a...

Tesla has recently attempted to address the criticism of its Model S and X interiors with a thorough refresh. I, as many others, find the interior of the Model 3 (and Y) to be too stark and not befitting a luxury/premium vehicle. For comparison, below is the photo of the comparable Mercedes...

So one can either get the $5000 incentive or deduct it all up to $55,000 in year 1. I wonder if you can still get the $5000 incentive if you deduct it over multiple years like a non-EV vehicle.

@pjferr Whats the business incentive beyond the $5k federal incentive? I am also considering an EV purchase for business use.
