Not here in Florida. No .gov subsidy as far as I know. I am curious about the model 2 which may or may not come out next year. 25k is cheap for short range passenger car. I would still have my truck and minivan for long trips.

Quoted: I bought one two weeks ago. I like it more now than when I bought it. I'm pissed though, because they just dropped prices AGAIN! You can pick up a new model 3 for a little over $36k, and depending on your state you're getting around $10k back in tax incentives. That's a luxury level car for upper $20s. Crazy. And ignore the haters, the car is awesome. More like driving a computer that kicks ass on performance. And I'm regularly in a Lexus 450 and the interior, ride, build quality is similar. Really good value for the dollar. Lots of hyperbole here. First, list the States that are giving $3000 ? Second, It’s not “luxury level car” by any stretch of the imagination. It’s Utility level, and purposely designed as such. That said, I test borrowed a Y a couple weeks ago and really like it. The acceleration is “sports car level”, I guess you could argue that qualifies as “luxury”. Probably would have bought it, if I could figure out how to qualify for the $7000 tax credit. |

What states would get you to $10k in incentives.
I don't plan to replace my car for three years, so I'm not really in the market. Hopefully Tesla can keep driving costs down. I would like to eventually have one electric vehicle to power from my home grid. |

Luxury was not on that list. To be fair, EV’s have just as many positives as negatives. If they didn’t, the circuit would be incomplete/unbalanced and they wouldn’t be able to drive. For example, the standard range Tesla3 has 4,416 positives and 4,416 negatives. |

I wouldn’t call it luxury but the fit and finish of my 23 M3P is better than I expected.
I wouldn’t buy anything but the performance version though. It’d be boring without being scary fast |

Quote HistoryQuoted: "Luxury" My first thought, too. I have friends with all different levels of teslas from base model 3, the SUV, plaid, and the P100D. They all had issues with paint, panel fitment, carpet, etc. It may wanna be luxury, but its nowhere close to it. |

I never hear about Tesla's having to go back to the dealer for issues. Is it just not that common? Or do we just not hear about it?
If they are reliable....great. If not, the fact that you have to do to a dealer for repairs would suck. Just a thought..... |

I’ve decided there’s a very strong likelihood our next car will be an EV or PHEV.
But that will have to be wen one of current ones shit the bed and they’re only <3 and <7 years old. So maybe start looking in about 4 years? |
