Tesla Model Y Standard Range AWD to be priced at $59,990 USD

[kabin]

Off peak is .33, mid off peak is .35, peak is .45. Southern California Long Beach area here.

It’s insane. What’s the point of electric anymore lol

And some utilities are trying to reduce the benefits of residential solar investment.

Here in OC CA. The gasoline is almost $7 per gallon and the kWh is about .33 cents

And you pay a little extra related to some energy loss when charging the battery. I wouldn't be surprised if it was an extra 5-10%.

In the end there's a red line where the consumer says it's too expensive. So far Tesla is benefitting from the early adopter and some fear of missing out. We'll know more after GT is ramped up and there's more EV competition.

When people complain about ride quality... they are truly talking about the 3. The ride is noticeable rougher than the Y.

You sure about that? My 3 is much smoother than my dad’s Y.

Average Tesla requires 28kWh for 100 miles X .35 $9.80.. Used Prius almost 3 Gal. At $5 gallon, same 100 miles=$15

Giving a generous $5 difference in savings every 100 miles; How many miles will it take to make up the cost difference between a new MY and a 5 year old Prius?

Yes

I own a 2022 Model Y LR and 2022 Model 3 RWD. I alternate trips between the two daily. I find the 3 pretty rough in general.

Stop. Don’t make my cancel my MYP and get a hybrid lol

 

[zpaul]

People who bought MY SR for $39k with 250 mile range absolutely stole it

If money is not an issue, enjoy the MYP What value do you put on fun ?
0-60 in 3.5 seconds while you burn up all your kWh in about 100 miles lol

And hope you don’t get busted for speeding/exhibition of speed Lose your license after paying a fine and your insurance going out of site

OK, I’ll stop..

Insane prices. This is mine in the Chicagoland area. I currently don't have time-of-day pricing as I work from home 3x a week and would need to use the air conditioner which would be insane during the super peak hours.

Yup. Here in Illinois we got cheap, easily accessible coal. Pick your poison. (personally, I'll take coal over earl.)

But how can you put a price on being bored to death in a Prius?

My math is 184Wh/km x 161km = 30kWh * CAD$0.13/kWh = $3.9/100miles vs my old car drinking 12L/100km @ $1.64/L = $32

So at 8x cheaper per mile I'm quite happy with the M3!

Here even the Prius' 3gal would cost $22 or over 5x more per mile.

Home charging during off-peak hours is considerably less than $0.35/hr in most areas. I estimate that my off-peak charging cost from my solar panels (20 year lifetime) is about $0.11/kWh, or $3.08 for 100 miles. Toss in the places that have free L2 charging (my workplace and local library are the ones I have used most often), and cost per mile can be crazy low. Plus, does anyone expect gasoline prices to go anywhere but up over the next 10 years?

That said, there’s no way to justify buying a Tesla based on savings on cost of energy. Cool toys cost money, and low operating cost and, for the moment, low (or negative) depreciation just reduce the economic hit somewhat.

Better yet, use the reasoning that you save money for each mile you drive to justify more road trips in your Tesla!

Yes… Yes, we did…


(To my fellow MYSR owners).

Somebody here must remember when the second generation (I think) Honda Accord came out. People (including myself) went nuts. At least in the Midwest, there was nothing. Dealers were asking for non refundable deposits which was unheard of. It's going to be a rough ride for a few years. Hold on.

I love that .13 / kWh rate ..WOW hard to beat My Prius has over 250 K miles and still get 35 mpg.. set of 4 new tires under $200 Cold A/C, good sound system, leather seats still comfortable, sunroof, use my phone for Google map/gps, playlist and everything else.

Can travel from Anaheim CA to Scottsdale AZ to visit my daughter on a full tank 10.5 gal and still have one bar left; use about 9.5 gal for 360 mile trip. Best part I don’t make any stops 5:30 hours at about 75-85 mph. CHP don’t even notice a Prius if it’s going over the speed limit.

[HellsKitchen]

even if I run purely on superchargers during peak hours

Do Supercharger prices fluctuate during the day?

 

[terranx]

Yes

I own a 2022 Model Y LR and 2022 Model 3 RWD. I alternate trips between the two daily. I find the 3 pretty rough in general.

I'm honestly dumbfounded at that impression. Complete opposite of what I felt driving the two back to back.

I don't think this is true. We have a total of 6 nuclear plants with 11 reactors total in the state. More than any other state in the United States. 58% of our energy needs is met by nuclear.

Just 18% of the state's energy needs is powered by coal and that's being further reduced.
