@ilike2breakthngs can you build something that makes CA DMV move faster as well please?
In all seriousness nice work on this setup. Hopefully I can put it to use next year.

because thatās their most sold configuration and they do not have an infinite supply of it?
This and the SR+ trim probably has the thinnest profit margin, so they increased the price to push people buying more expensive trims, and if people keep buying SR+, more profit for them anyway.
The SR+ (without the fake FSD) offers 80% of the best value of Tesla today.

Quite a few people that purchase a Tesla get sucked into the Cult of Elon and start drinking the Elon jungle juice religiously and become Tesla stans. I am not one of those people. I was a Tesla critic for years (primarily just an Elon criticā¦never had a huge problem with the cars themselves) but the super fanbois can sure be obnoxious. While I own a Model 3, I am far from a Tesla fanboy. I can appreciate the car without pledging allegiance to Lord Musk.

. Itās too useful to be overrun.I donāt get the Tesla hate (and I bought a Bolt EUV just two months ago).
I also have a SR3+ on orderā¦not thrilled to get it, mostly because itās twice the cost of my Bolt.
Tesla 3 is a blast to drive, feels like driving something out of a sci fi movie and is fairly reasonably priced.
Iāve yet to meet an owner who doesnāt adore their Teslaā¦not sure why that is a bad thing!
People talk about quality control issuesā¦but either all my friends are liars or lucky, because I havenāt heard anything from them.
I had a client buy some TSLA stock in 2010 (or 2011ā¦I could check)ā¦was the son of a client, and only bought 100 shares for around $2000. Now worth over $400000.
Maybe people are just bitter about having missed the boat!

I bought my Model 3 without having ever being inside a Tesla before. First time was when I went to pick it up and was rushed off the lot in under 10 minutes.
That said, after 2 weeks, I will probably never drive an ICE car again. The effortless power, the quietness of the cabin and the adventure of finding chargers has really made for a different overall driving experience.
I donāt think itās a Tesla thing. Iām gonna get either the Lyriq or Hummer nextā¦ But when you can sell it after a year or two for as much as you paid for it, how can you go wrong?

Thanks to this post i got my 1st tesla sr+ (technically second one in the family cause my brother used to have a dual motor model y and i drove that quite a lot) and i must say its super fun to drive but way too quite! Im used to the pops and bangs from my supraā¦. But for long drive i will always chose tesla over anything elseā¦ specially the suspension being so smooth! My other x4m suspension was horribleā¦. So overall i love it!

These cars are soā¦ bland and vanilla.
Torque delivery is their only redeeming quality.

Same, never even been on a Tesla forum. I am also not buying one because I want to save the planet. Donāt think they are saving anything really.
$56k for a car the goes 0-60 under 4sec, 1/4 mile low 11ās, and has 4 doors. These days you will be paying a lot more money to get those specs.
looking forward to more players enter the game like F, GM, Volkswagen so Tesla will reduce the price on their cheaper models 3, Y and possibly Model 2 that they want to break into 25k league! right now they are profitable even if they cut 10k from the current prices. they sure will cut the price of Model S as soon as Lucid is released. 2 yr lease a bolt or ioniq one more time and buy a 35k Tesla in 2022!!
Hearing that the market on Plaids took a massive dump today after a few strong weeks. Hopefully anyone wanting to sell didnāt get stuck with it. Fully expect any buyers who are waiting on title to pick up a car to re-trade.

The market where? Auctions?
Can you elaborate please?
yes auctions. iād hate to be holding one of them right now, if i wasnāt planning on keeping it, especially in a +tax state.
3 vs Y ā who you going with?
The 3 is more fun, faster, better range and better handling when comparing in the same trim. If cost is an issue, 3 SR+ is best value for money.
However, Y is more functional and has a better sound system IMO. I have a 3 SR+ and likely upgrading to a MYLR when my order comes ready - but I do have 2 kids in full size convertible car seats.

3āa handling is night/day better than Y. The Y has more head room and tiny more side room. Sits higher. Good for family with small kids. Model 3 is if you want speed and handling and Plaid is out of your budget. Get both if you can. Buy the Y but lease the Model 3. And always have a gas car as a backup (even if itās a beater) if there is ever an EMP strike by our enemies and our power grid goes down.

Thank you for putting together the Discord Server. After having alerts set for my region the past few weeks I finally committed last night.
My wife and I turned in her Audi Q5 lease last August and went down to a single-car household. Of all things, our kidās soccer games doubling up on the weekends pushed us to need a second car again. With the current market conditions, I had a hard time finding a new lease that I liked. I came very close to going with Clutch on a 4xe but waited too long to pull the trigger, as I wasnāt sure when a new car would be needed. Then Saturday soccer did us in.
