Only $10,000 more until the trash build quality sort of matches the price.
At that point you might as well spend an extra 3k for a Corolla
In most of Europe, the prices of Model 3’s match pretty well those of the Polestar 2. The difference in build quality between those two is night and day. The Tesla feels like a Chrysler/Dodge Neon in comparison, with leather being the only concession whatsoever to niceness.
The fact that in Europe somehow they’re “premium” and not budget cars within their category blows my mind.
Panels not matching frame is… aesthetic! Please sign here:
There’s a spambot posting referral links so I made it a shitpost.
i’d need another 130k to be taken off the price before i consider using one
It’s $30k in the US?.. I’d be looking at 43k€-ish here ($47k)… Corolla is even more…
I checked the website it’s actually $45k sticker price in the US.
The $30k price is with the $1k discount mentioned plus the “Include est. incentives of $7,500 and 5-year gas savings of $6,000” check box the Tesla site has.
Well they’re made here so it stands to reason they’d be a bit cheaper. No clue about the corolla tho
Mine would be made in Germany if I bought it. I think it’s more a matter of taxes/lobbying and all that, all cars are more expensive here.
TIL Tesla has a factory (factories?) In Germany. My mistake.
Yeah, it has The so called GIGA Factory in Brandenburg(north east Germany).
It really irritates me that the best range for $ ratio in the US is still dominated by Telsa.
It helps that they lie about the range.
The Ioniq 6 certainly has to be close if not better on that factor, depending on local incentives.
Yeah, good point. Hyundai / Kia is one of the few companies giving Telsa some proper range-cost ratio competition in the states.
yeah, and then you’ll have to spend money per month on each individual feature you want to use.
carwash mode, can’t take it to a carwash without carwash mode or else all the internal components will be flooded and ruined forever
You need to pay extra to be able to go full throttle
and to even charge the damn thing after you buy it, you need to register with the service that connects it to a centralized control.
Yes that’s right, tesla cars won’t allow themselves to be charged until you register with the service that connects it to the internet. y’know, because privacy is just so uncool now!
Absolutely none of that is true.
Fuck Tesla and I won’t buy one because of Musk but we don’t have to lie about the cars.
For the charging, that’s just for superchargers because of billing. If you use other networks like EA, you have to install their app to charge.
