If you have multiple cars, it may be worth selling the Model 3 now. The used car market seems to be on the verge of collapsing.

My EDD was updated as well. Good news, it narrowed down to 3 week. Bad news, it starts later 😂 Ordered: March 1 - MSM/Black-5-Gemini-Nothing Else Original EDD: Nov 28 - Jan 9 Now: Dec 8-31

Do you really need two three-seat vehicles when the third seat only sees passengers a handful times of the year?

I had no idea info was officially out. I think the previous gen looked amazing, but this doesnt look too bad. It looks like it weighs almost 400lbs more than the 2023 Supra, but I love the practicality of the 2-series; the rear seats are suitable for occassional adults. I imagine those numbers...

Yea, I'm curious to see what the new M2 will look like, but judging by just how much the 2-series has grown, I dont have high expectations. I'm not the biggest fan of the Supra's looks, but the B58 with a 6 speed manual and relatively light/er weight (than the 2 series) is almost the most...

Beautiful car. When I was looking for a car last year, I narrowed it down the BMW M2C, Tesla M3P, and the new RS3. I ended up getting the M3P but I still think about/miss my old M2 at times. The new 6sp Supra is also compelling me heavily 😂 .

Im in this same boat. I’m debating on adding the inductions to my existing order. Ordered: March 1, EDD: Nov 28-Jan 9 MSM/Black-5-Gemini-Nothing Else (basically the cheapest Y you could order lol)

I’m really curious to see how many of us awaiting delivery will no longer get the ultrasonic/parking sensors. Other than the Matrix headlights and cargo shelf, I don’t mind holding onto those.

I’m really curious for what the cutoff will be for vehicles no longer including the ultrasonic/parking sensors. I was up for getting the latest until I heard about that change hitting all of Teslas vehicles.

Ahhhh I didnt know you could change the order without getting a new price. We were debating on adding the induction wheels to our LR MSM but were worried it would kick in the current price; I wonder if this change would influence the EDD as well. At $2K, I've been debating on whether they're...

When I bought my M3P, I showed up with a check from my credit union (NFCU.) No issues.

Yea, our other vehicle is a 21 Tesla M3P. What's funny is I reserved the Y mainly as a precaution/hedge against the future. My wife drives a 2020 BMW X2, and at the time (March 2020), wasnt interested in replacing her vehicle with an EV (she's stubborn 😂.) Sure enough, gas went crazy and she was...

You can get appraisals from most of them pretty easily. Carmax required me to come in, and we're planning to sell our old vehicle to them tomorrow; it was 15% higher than what Tesla offered. Used car prices appear to be dropping hard week-over-week, but its possible Hurricane Ian may cause a...

I would assume the higher model year to appraise higher (given everything else is equal.) With that being said, if you ordered in 2021, you’re likely saving a sizable amount of money over someone buying one today as well (more than enough to offset model year depreciation.)

My estimated delivery date hasn't really moved much; currently sitting at November 28 - January 09. I'm over in MD and reserved on March 1; MSM LR, 5 Seater, Gemini. I haven't entered in all of my finance details yet, but maybe I should go ahead and do so? I recently had my trade-in...

Unfortunately, lithium prices are only going up (they've tripled in the last 6 months alone) and EV demand should dramatically increase over the next few years (along with more cars across all OEMs being available.) I'd bet more on a cheaper Model Y via a new model (maybe like a SR Y) before we...

There is ambiguity in how the IRS will measure the source of materials thresholds. Tesla released a list of their current battery material suppliers; most are in China. In fact, China actually owns more than half of all lithium reserves. The question is if the non-Chinese suppliers provide...

Yea, if you’re financing and trading in a vehicle, it probably doesn’t make financial sense to wait. Used car prices are dropping 1-2% a week now and have decent room to drop a lot lower. If your reservation is close to the current price, it might work in your favor, but then again, you’ll still...

Are folks even sure the Model Y will qualify for the full $7500?! I have seen a lot of speculation, but from my understanding, neither the IRS or Tesla has mentioned qualifying vehicles; I’m not even aware of the rules based on percentages being clearly defined yet (ie are the 40% thresholds...

I'm interested as well. I live right over in MD (maybe 20 min from NoVa) so I could pick them up.

😭 This is the same situation we are in. Used car prices seem to be dropping like a rock week-over-week and I'm hoping to trade-in my wife's old vehicle before it loses another couple more grand. I thought about preemptively selling it, but my state offers a trade-in credit on the sales tax so...

This is the issue I am running into now with my 2021 M3 and its driving me crazy. If you put any kind of light pressure on the A or B pillars...they pop off. People get into the car, and rub against them and they pop off. I've never had issues like this any car I've owned. Another issue I have...

Not sure if this was mentioned, but you could potentially keep your current car, buy the MY and immediately sell it for a profit. If you preordered this car a while ago, you could probably make some decent money flipping it. I would never flip a car for profits though.... yes I would 😄

I think it mostly depends on where the battery materials and components come from. For example, the SR3 uses a LFP battery (manufactured by CATL in China.) Its possible this car will not be eligible for any part of the credit. I think there is movement to move LFP production to Freemont but I...

Has it improved…. I’m sure it has since the initial Model 3. I have a late model 2021 and am now starting to notice some issues that I did not notice when I initially took delivery (I’m at 10k miles.) Most of my issues are with the interior build quality though.

Has it been confirmed that the Model Y qualifies? I'm still curious to see what vehicles will actually qualify (ie which vehicles meet the origin thresholds for the battery critical minerals and battery components.)...

I'm still curious to see what vehicles will actually qualify. Does any Tesla (or OEM) meet the 40% of its battery critical minerals, and 50% of the battery components, origin thresholds...

I wonder if the Model Y LR will be only Tesla potentially eligible for the full rebate? I think the Standard-Range 3 uses LFP batteries from CATL produced solely in China? Not sure about the Standard-Range Y.

Interesting enough, the percentages increase year over year. I'm curious if the 2027 minerals requirement is going to be feasible for any OEM. I imagine it will take a couple years to stand up these new mining and refining factories but I guess we'll see. The 40% minerals requirement increases...

I'm curious if any Tesla vehicle will qualify for the full $7500. It looks like the $7500 is split into two $3500 allowances: Allowances: $3,750 of the new credit is based upon the vehicle having at least 40% of its battery critical minerals from the United States (or countries with a free...

Adjusted gross income limit of $150k for individuals, $225k for head of household, and $300k for joint returns. We preordered a Model Y earlier this year that isnt due to be delivered til April 2023. I hope Tesla does not make any production speed improvements between now and the end of the...

Isnt BYD having pretty explosive growth as well (perhaps even moreso than Tesla)? I remember reading about their BEV sales potentially matching/surpassing Tesla in the next year (surprising considering most of their current market is in China.) I think they offer some of their commercial...

Yea, I'm curious to see what the future holds. If my grandmother had to get an EV today, a small (footprint-wise) city-style EV, with a traditional-style interior, would really be perfect. The only options now are pretty much the Bolt or Leaf.

I actually ran into a similar situation with my grandmother when I let her drive my M3P. The car was so different from her Juke, that she got confused a few times. She doesnt have the greatest dexterity, so things being on a touch screen arent really her forte. She hated having to use the...

I'm not the biggest fan of the interior, but I think it looks fine TBH. Most of the people buying this car will be first time EV owners (not Tesla owners.) I dont think selling something that offers some level of familiarity (with current cars) is necessarily a bad thing. There's still roughly...

If we're talking solely about the US, I think alot of these manufactures will inevitably catch up in total sales; Tesla will probably be the leader for the near future though. We're still pretty early into EV transformation. The US just passed the 5% "tipping point" for EVs, and is estimated to...

Same 😄 I've averaged out to a bit over 1800 Wh/mile on autocross days.

Out of curiosity, why'd you pick the Performance over the Long-Range 3?

Yea, but the performance trims (including the Model 3P) arent as focused on efficiency to begin with (at least in comparison to the lower trims - stickier tires, wider wheels, reduced range.) Quad motors are better than a LSD, but that's not on option (maybe its price wise, maybe its car size...

I would loooooooove a 2+2 EV coupe. I like my M3P but it is the largest vehicle (footprint wise) I have ever owned. I dont need 4 doors, and only occasionally need to seat more than 2 adults while driving. If I could find something that is still relatively sporty with a 2+2 seating setup, I...

I would love to see more EVs come with a LSD differential on their upper/performance models (well...the ones without quad motors.) I'm sure quad motors will inevitably move down to cheaper EVs, but a mechanical differential sounds like a good stopgap. I think the Porsche/Audi EV twins may offer...

I think the Bolt EUV is new for this year but yeah its still largely the same platform. They still have surprisingly high interest for having such a high-profile recall.

Right. Even the Bolt EV (with probably the worst EV recall in recent memory) is expected to rebound to record sales. That has a max charging speed of 55KW (less than a third of the Blazer EV) and was still practically sold out prior to the stop-sale.

😂😂😂 This is the exact same situation I am in. We're looking to replace my wife's X2. I have a Model Y on reservation (ETA April 2023), but it isnt my wife's first choice. It's really the backup if we cant find what she ultimately wants (Mach-e on the short list.)

Yea, Tesla has better charging rates, but most of the people buying these will be first time EV owners; not Tesla owners. With most folks only doing 30-40 miles a day, many should be able to get by charging with just a standard outlet (I did the same with my M3P for 6 months.) In the event they...

190KW charging doesnt sound too bad tbh. I think most folks could probably get away with charging via a standard outlet on these. I am curious to see what the AWD package for the 2LT trim will cost. Seems like a good option for folks that may not want to go in on the minimalist interior design...

I think it looks good. 🤷‍♂️

The N version of this car looks spectacular.

I'm not the biggest fan of the side view, but I really like the front and rear shots. I'm really curious what the GT version of this will look like. Overall, I think it looks spectacular. If I could get something like this, in a 2-door coupe (ala the 2 series coupe), I'd probably get rid of...

I’m interested. Trying to think when I can get near Pittsburgh; I’m out near DC.
