Fun note: Model 3 is below $35k inflation adjusted now. I don’t think it’s a good buy yet but kinda funny that prices have dropped this far.
I have a model y but I know absolutely zero about cars or the market in general. I just bought mine because I knew the charging network was good and didn’t want to pay $5.50 for gas here in Washington. But you don’t think 35k for a new model 3 is good? In my uneducated opinion, I think that’s not too bad considering all the features it comes with and the tax credit. I came from a 2010 Corolla so this thing blows my mind every time I get inside it.
As a general question, have you had any issues with its construction? I’ve heard so many people say they aren’t well put together and have problems with like rattling noises and such.
Yeah so like i mentioned idk anything about cars. I don’t know any of the makers logos, I don’t anything about horsepower or v engines or whatever, always took my car to get my oil changed. So I don’t really have a discerning eye for that kind of stuff. I read a lot of those comments too when deciding what to buy, but I figured most of the people posting those opinions were hardcore car enthusiasts who look over everything with a fine toothed comb. For me the car looks good, I don’t hear any rattling while driving, and everything else works great. No qualms here.
I’m not sure about lemmy, but realtesla on reddit is pretty much /r/IHateTesla, so you have to assume people are anti-tesla when interacting here.
That is a very reasonable price for a model 3, especially if you can take advantage of the tax credit. It makes other electric cars offerings looks silly in comparison.
All of that said, it is still too expensive, and in the future the world needs more affordable electric cars.
Nope.
It’s obviously a compromised vehicle that has many cut corners for cheapness sake. The lack of windshield wiper stalks, odometer screen, or mechanical open/close handles are proof of that.
It’s a car designed to be as cheap as possible, and then a crappy CEO trying to tell you it’s got even a semblance of quality.
