Tesla model 3 is too expensive
I think the model 3 is way too expensive given that you spend close to 48,000 with auto pilot and full 310 mile range and loan. This gives you no supercharging too. Am I missing something or is this all you get for 48,000 USD. Help me decide before the 31st đ I'm 6 years into my gasoline car and thinking if I should go for the model 3. But with this and the 310 mile range without supercharging, im concerned. Also, I live in a apartment in the bay area without any charging capability and take trips to nearby places (500 mile rt) once a month. So, is this really worth it? TC:190k Edit: will update on 31st if I bought the car or not. Edit: didn't buy the car today, 31st. đthe car is nice, but the total cost of ownership comes to 53000 and not 48000. That's actually 8000 more than my top line budget.
It is expensive and not worth it. The advertised 35k price was never true.
I canât bring myself to get one and I love Tesla. The 3 just doesnât have the same looks and experience as the S.
Dude, I love the model $. I test drove one last year. I would be test driving the model 3 for the first time tomorrow. Why do you think it does not feel same as the $??
Youâll see⌠The instrument cluster in the three sucks, they donât look the same the S feels like driving the Batmobile the three feels like an expensive electric car. Auto pilot is nice though-probably wouldâve been better to get a three with the free supercharging
I bought the rear wheel drive version with no autopilot and no addons. With the tax rebate it comes to about $36k. Frankly I didnât feel the autopilot was worth the extra 5k and the range for the rear wheel drive was sufficient. Go with the lowest specs, itâs worth it and still fun to drive.
Auto pilot is completely worth it and in my opinion the main reason to buy the car
Actually I dream of auto pilot taking the wheel with higher autonomy đit's kind of important for me đŹto the extent that I'm willing to work for free to ramp it up.
Wait a few years to prices to drop and range to increase.
Might be A LOT of years. Also keep in mind that all Teslaâs are going up $7500 next year.
Audi A6 is under promotion. 15K off minimum. I ll trade my gas saving for an Audi!
I drive an Audi a4 actually. it's 6yrs in. I actually luv itđ haven't checked out the a6 just yet.
One point is almost all luxury cars have lane assist + auto follow now which is almost as good as tesla âself drivingâ
This. I thought about this. Do they get over there air software upgrades? I'm also a sucker for something which gets quality upgrades over the air. I guess the question now is will Tesla's get exponentially or at least linearly better over time with existing hardware.
Any German luxury car with these upgrades will go to 45k+ easily. Quality control is bad in the Tesla models compared to German counterparts. But the value doesn't seem to drop like German models (at least in model S).
Bought it recently. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Yes!
If you canât charge at home or work, thereâs no point. The cost-benefit depends on your cost of gas and home electricity. For every 100K miles, a Model 3 will save you about $10K ($.12/kWh and $4/gallon gas) between that plus regular maintenance like oil changes that are no longer needed. To date, Teslaâs have also depreciated about 20% less than equivalent cars, so you might save $5K of resale on the backend. Tax credit is probably gone at this point, so that doesnât factor in I donât believe. Net/net, itâs cost equivalent combustion engine equal brand auto would need to cost around $33K. The base model of a 320i AWD starts at $37K.
But the construction quality is not the same as a BMW or Audi. I recently test drove a model 3 and while I loved the way the car handled, construction flaws were apparent. Missing paint, screws at weird angles..the trunks don't close smoothly. A car that costs 60k should be flawless.
Ok. So the question is whether these things would be fixed in the next iterations.
Why not buy Porsche?
I want my next car to be electric with self driving capabilities. I would buy a model s if I could afford one. I just want to know if this model 3 is worth it or should I wait couple more years and buy the latest one then.
It's Moore's law dude. You can't just sit around, there will always be a better thing around the corner. The model 3 is a premium car. What's your price range? If it's up to 45k then why not buy one? Question seems pretty straight forward.
