There’s a spambot posting referral links so I made it a shitpost.
Only $10,000 more until the trash build quality sort of matches the price.
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.
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!
It really irritates me that the best range for $ ratio in the US is still dominated by Telsa.
The Ioniq 6 certainly has to be close if not better on that factor, depending on local incentives.
It’s $30k in the US?.. I’d be looking at 43k€-ish here ($47k)… Corolla is even more…
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.
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.
I understand what they’re trying to do - bring attention to total cost of ownership and the price disparity between petrol and electricity. It’s clearly marked and impossible to miss when you’re on the website speccing out a car, so it’s maybe a little initially deceptive, but not scummy imo. But it also leads to screenshots like this…
