I am not so impressed with the model 3.  A friend has one, and pre-pandemic four of us went to a concert in Miami in it.  Going over I sat up front.  It was OK but the ride is harsh and choppy.  He planned to recharge at a location close to the venue.  Unfortunately there was no available charger.  Decided to recharge on the way home at the Miccosukee Indian reservation that has a super charger, the only one on the way across the state.  We just barley made it, and as he pulled in it came up with a message of insufficient charge.  On the way home I was sitting in the back, and my God that was so uncomfortable.  Seat is too straight up and not enough room for feet.  I would never be interested.

I agree with your assessment, but you are a "rich" dentist.  The Y or S is more in line with your income and requirements. Maybe even the X.  Your friend probably had the base model 3.  They are.... basic, at best.

TBone, you need to take better care of your vehicles. They say changing the oil will actually extend the life of these cars.

I told my daughter she was nuts and if it were me I'd be looking very seriously at the new Camry hybrid.  The one I had from 2011 or 2012, can't remember, she still drives at about 180,000 miles.  No

After being unable to avoid a big dealer markup on a Ford Mustang Mach-E, a potential customer escalated the matter. The Ford executive who responded told the potential Ford Mustang Mach-E buyer that

I'm an SUV kind of guy, and I'm not talking about the model Y.  

 

Got a new SUV last year and I'm very happy with it.

I remember you posting something about it, but my mind is nowhere NEAR as active as NB2's, so I give up.

I DO know about the Prowler you had sneaking around in your garage, however...

No EV is at the proper price point to replace ICE vehicles.  This has been the case since 1900.  And I don't believe that ANY electric car can save enough money via charging to make it a "value" over an ICE vehicle.  Right now, they are still priced for the rich or the ignorant (those who believe that EVs will save the planet), IMO.

I WILL say that even a base model Tesla 3 will blow away most modern ICE vehicles when it comes to acceleration.  But that's only fun for a little while, or for the youthful generations.  

 

Having said all of that, I am still buying TSLA and LCID stock.  Best two items in my portfolio.

If brand new (probably not, in your scenario), the Model Y performance goes for about $60k.  

Dunno why customers would want to drive "yours"?  Tesla has free test drives at all their sales locations.  The only thing is that usually it's only the base models, as the higher-trim lines sell so fast, they cannot afford to keep a demo on the lot.

Guess cause it's there. Don't know where the nearest Tesla place is . Atl I guess

Guess again (surprised me when I searched)....

 

Alpharetta

Decatur

Roswell

Savannah

I guess I am spoiled, having a dealership 6 minutes from my humble abode.

 

(Boggles the mind that there isn't a dealership in ATL?  Now I understand why you got so much traffic on it.)

I'd agree with Decatur.

When you from the middle part of the state we call it all Atlanta.  I was in Doraville and Chamblee Sunday. It's all Atlanta to me

Wife drives a Mercedes C300

Have the Prowler and a couple of Corvairs.

I understand.  You think CA is a foreign country, too.  :jest:

 

For sure, ATL... SPRAWLS.

 

Check out the Tesla locations here:  https://www.tesla.com/findus/list/stores/United+States
Look at Ga.  Then FL.  Then peep out CA.  It's almost like GA is non-existent when it comes to Tesla.  And with all the hype about Tesla, Ford sells more cars in a day than Tesla does in... what?  a year?  6 months?

Ahhh, I think I was remembering the Merc SUV perhaps (not BMW).

Define "odd"?
