Yeah I was going to do the same thing especially for my non demanding daily use. They do recommend charging the new battery to 100% at least once a week though so I can live with that.

🤩🏎

My exact sentiment. Explaining to my wife though is a little hard 😁

Yeah I was aiming at the long range but it meant $6K more plus a higher sales tax rate as it would be > 50K car. For my daily use a SR would really be more than enough and with the new battery I heard you can charge daily to 100% with no problem so actually getting more range. The AWD option is...

Excellent point

😆 yeah that is cool

I wish 😁

I thought that a heat pump is more efficient and saves battery energy in winter time!!

Wow.. you are boosting my excitement even further. I am so looking forward to it especially that I never got to drive it so far.

Awesome video. Nice to see that real life experience with actual cost 👍

Yeah it can go either way, can’t it? Waiting does not guaratnee lower prices and from what I have seen here, does not seem to happen any time soon. It could even go higher with inflation as you mentioned. One silver lining is that if prices do go down before delivery - which I really don’t think...

Yeah you make a good point on the incentives. I guess my best case scenario would be if parts of the Build Back Better pass that would bring back the $7500 (or more) tax credit and I should be eligible for it having placed the order in 2022. Fingers crossed but not a lot of confidence in the...

Thanks for the breakdown of the changes 👍

You are absolutely right. I guess the best time to buy a Tesla is really “whenever” you buy it. Any point in time would be a great opportunity for some and a missed opportunity for someone else. Can’t wait for my M3 to arrive and to start enjoying it 😁

Really helpful. I actually was not considering a Tesla at all last year. I only started considering a Tesla, or any EV for that matter, when I signed my contract earlier this year for installing solar panels on my roof and while doing the calculations, I increased the panel size to account for a...

Thanks @SocalM3P .. Exactly the kind of reassuring I was searching for :)

Agreed.

Glad to hear about your positive experience. And I totally get it about the LR vs RWD. What makes it even worse is that in my state, sales taxes jump by about 1.5 % for a car that is > $50000, which is where LR is right now.

I like your approach. Pithy and cuts through the chase :)

I do want it and that's why I made the order even now with the high prices. It is just the bitter feeling that I missed my opportunity on a great deal is what is keeping me up at night so I was just trying to find a way to ease that feeling a bit.

Yeah I agree. Total cost should be important. Also, the new battery and new AMD chip to the new 2022 teslas might add to their value. I really would have loved to get a long range model 3, however, I am really stretched as it is for the standard version that any additional cost would be too much.

Hi, I placed an order for a model 3 January 2022, however I can’t shake the bitterness that just one year ago that same car was $8000 less. Is there a way to justify this apparently bad bargain to myself? And is there corresponding value to that increase? Thanks.
