LR RWD Model Y qualifying for the tax credit makes it very compelling for those looking at RWD Model 3 because it has more room, more range, and better charging for about $1k less after tax credit. This assumes that the consumer is looking at cost and not 100% committed to a sedan over the shape of the Y

[@DurfDiggler]

And now we know why the RWD MY has better charging than the RWD M3. *I did not do any homework on this… just makes sense that if you’re only charging up to 80% then it can get there faster than the last 20%. Like mentioned in the video, if I were a RWD MY owner, I’d be happy knowing I can ‘safely’ charge to 100% more often without paying for the upgrade. Def a compelling price with the tax credit, especially with it coming off the invoice, what with all the high loan rates. (Grapevine told me the Fed just RAISED the rates).

Well, the fossil fuel industry is massively supported by government subsidies and tax breaks. Eliminate those, too, then watch gas prices skyrocket and we'll have a level playing field.

I should not have to paid for an upgraded range for $1200.00 to $2000.00 extra for more range. When I already paid over $54,000 for 303 miles. What are your thoughts.

I’ve been involved in murders and layoffs and the key thing is when you’re laying things off to make sure there’s a transition plan sometimes people have to leave, but you have to know where it’s going to fire your entire supercharger team without having a transition is bonkers the fact that they had to send out an email saying we’re working on figuring out who the points of contact are and we’d like some patients while we violate the contract we had with you is just silly. Tesla‘s gonna be in court with a lot of these manufactures regarding the discussion of the transition to their NACS adapter and the lack of support on Tesla side.

Basically it means if you have model y standard range, you already hauling a long range battery, so feels like if you charge to 100% without an upgrade, whole battery pack is realistically charging to 81 %

[@CleanPowerAuto]

No, locked out capacity is at the bottom of the charge, so 100% charge is to the full, but your discharge is limited by software where 0% is actually still 20% in the battery. Imagine running out of charge, stuck on the side of the road, while your tank still has 20% but you need to pay to access it.

How is no one talking about the possibility for Tesla to spin off / sell their super charger network. It is literally the most valuable EV asset in the NA market (probably world) at this moment. It would take some of the brand value away from Tesla for sure, but would be a massive cash influx. We are talking tens to hundreds of billions of dollars. If you truly believe automation / robo taxi is the future, then major investment is likely needed, and SuperCharger network is a huge Capex sponge. Axing a huge % of workforce 3-6 months before spinning off is a common practice. It makes your P&L very attractive to potential buyers (low cost, high revenue) even if you are hurting your long term capability.

I doubt that's his plan, but if it is, it wasn't well though-out. You do a "fat-trimming" layoff of maybe 10% to make the division more attractive to potential buyers. What he did was get rid of everybody who had anything to do with its success. Those Superchargers didn't plant themselves in the ground. This is a business - creating, operating, maintaining, and expanding an EV charging network - that literally no one has been successful at but Tesla, and he flushed its leadership and all its institutional knowledge down the toilet. It is worth a heck of a lot LESS money today than it was two weeks ago. I think he did it in a fit of pique as a warning to the rest of the company to toe the line, and in so doing he's thrown a huge roadblock in the path of EV adoption in the United States.

yes. I wont buy an EV till its 25000 and 400 miles range or at least 350 mile range or I will stick with gas for life

[@lupusrexstudio7327]

350 is more realistic and the days of a 25k car from dealerships new ready coming to an end. I just got my model y performance in march and it’s been nice but that’s only due to me having charging at home and work but I know everyone doesn’t have that luxury.

@@none23517I’ve had my Hondas for the last 15 years. And I just got my 2018 Model S for under $23k with the tax incentive using no money down for me. And for a 6 year old a Tesla, it has saved me a ton with just gas alone plug the perk of giving what would’ve been an expensive daily driver upgrade experience for far far less. I still got 1.8 years left in the warranty with unlimited miles which any vehicle before 2020 still qualifies. And honestly I feel bad as to not driving my accord anymore even tho nothing is wrong with it at 225k miles. But with my home charger, it just don’t want to spend more money on gas with these current prices. 3500 miles and still haven’t spent more than $88 in maintence/fuel related expenses.

When they have a "600 mile" range I'll buy one (since we know the "given number" is never even close to accurate under "real life" conditions...) i.e. things like extra passengers, cargo, towing, hot weather, cold weather, aging, etc...

[@GG-si7fw]

The supercharger layoff makes no sense to award the licenses to companies build them. This is lessening the vertical integration that Tesla was forced to do back in the last recession. The cash for clunkers wasn't a bailout for the automobile companies. It was a bailout for the oil companies too. It kept alive companies that couldn't or wouldn't make efficient cars to hedge against high fuel prices.

[@atlantarene993]

In Tesla became a supplier of Super Chargers to BP and other companies. Now that their connector is a standard and they are a supplier to others building out charger networks, does it make sense for Tesla to scale back their build out as others start deploying their networks using Super Charger hardware? Remember, Elon thinks far ahead of the game.

[@AlbertDzurka]

[@lisasmith9757]

Just sold my 2022 Model 3 and bought the Electrified GV70. While I miss some Tesla features, in my opinion it’s night and day between the two (notwithstanding a lot less range on the GV70). Between the price fluctuations and erratic Elon, I don’t know that I’d ever go back to a Tesla and sure there are others that feel the same way I do.

[@tylerjohnson1617]

I wonder if the 23 rwd model 3 has a software lock on the range

[@stephenbateman7254]

RWD SR+ Model 3 is not software locked battery, it’s a different battery than the AWD LR or Performance. That’s why charging limits and speeds are different for the RWD vs AWD

[@sodiumvapor13]

Good question, and fortunately no, it really is the real capacity. The battery is physically the same size, but a few of the pack modules are missing a few rows of cells. Tesla makes 2 battery packs for the model 3. the small one (in the SR), and the large one (for the LR and performance). Edit: Oops thats for earlier versions of the m3 rwd. Here in the US, all SR rwd versions use an LFP battery, which is also not software limited.

[@cesar.hcr.55]

Manufacturing and installation remain intact The future builds will continue.

[@ChicagoBob123]

Tesla lowered interest rates on model Y to .9% over 6 years. This and new range is fatastic.

[@robertfreeman7906]

And if you double the driving range then then charging time is also doubled, a lot of boloney for me

[@otm646]

That's not how charging curves work.

[@dropshot1967]

I am not from the USA, but cutting tax credits would not be bad at all if at the same time, the US government would cut all subsidies to the fossil fuel industry (last year a total of 7 Trillion dollars) If that happened, fuel for ice cars would multiply in costs, making EV's even more economical.

[@justinstewart3248]

Never going to happen. It would cripple the economy and lead to a loss of the election as well. The system sucks.

Elon is stopping charger new charger locations but its adding/renewing more chargers in each location.

[@ajlanger5]

Unlocking the extra 40-60mi should be beneficial for situation (1) and (2), but I agree would not make sense for case (3). ...(1) If STD range owners are CURRENTLY charging to 80% of their 260 range, then charging to 80% of 320 is more daily range. (2) If they are charging to 100% of 260 now (bc its LFP battery) then 100% of 320 is more daily range. (3) BUT If they were told to charge to "100%" now, but its not LFP and turns out the "100%" is not the whole battery due to SW LOCK... then buying 320mi and being told to drop to 80% would not give more daily range.

Less charging infrastructure reduces EV adoption rate.

[@onionpeeler2023]

Model Y is still way too expensive, base price needs to go down below 40K, before the $7500 dollar tax credit, ideally, the all-in price should be about 32K, because once you add in the sales tax, and all the fees from dealer & state, price should not be any more than 35K, that's how Tesla will sell more of them. And they really need to stop nickeling and diming for colors, both interior and exterior.

[@UrbanNeo]

I feel like it’s a rip off telling customers that if you want the extra range you have to pay more money for a car you already own. I used to love Tesla but they have been steadily disappointing me since last year. I may have to go back to Toyota.

[@bullittuk]

So you don't think people should pay more for a long range as compared to a standard range? But you wouldn't complain if they did a standard range and long range single motor from the factory, so your point is meaningless...

[@leok7193]

​@@bullittuk wow, you must be a masochist to defend Tesla so hard. They spank you and you say "may I have another?"

They literally started penny pinching improvements that don't cost them anything.

You have no problem paying for extra food at a restaurant, extra features at a gym, extra items at the grocery store, extra features on the iPhone, but you don’t want to pay for extra range on an electric vehicle and assume it should be given for free?
