  1. A bit of a brutal take on the Mach-e and a bit on EV's in general.

    I thought the video was pretty well done. The pace and the depth was, IMO, perfect (come on Out of Spec - I have one life to live, and I don't have 2 hours to watch you summarize something). They threw sharp criticisms at Ford that, IMO, basically everyone agrees with. Let me break it down...
  2. Tesla Slashes Prices

    To each their own, but I like the Tesla look. It is timeless, like a Porsche. Only needs subtle tweaks. Same for the Mach-E.
  3. Tesla Slashes Prices

    My sister bought that cheaper RWD Model 3 and it has cheaper stereo and interior panels than my brothers Model 3 Long Range. I think the RWD Model 3 also has less sound dampening like Dynamat. For anyone considering the Model 3 RWD - test drive it first. It definitely isn’t like a Honda or...
  4. Tesla Slashes Prices

    I am seeing small amounts of existing inventory in multiple regions. But they are getting scooped up quick. Vins are up one minute, gone minutes later, although slightly easier than Taylor Swift tickets. We just wish the Model 3 long Range was available still. Tesla says due too much demand they...
  5. Tesla Slashes Prices

    the 7 seat Model Y is eligible up to 80k, the Model Y Performance is eligible for none unless used, and the Model Y Long Range/Austin Build is eligible up to 55k. Could buy the 7 seat Long Range with the factory rims for more range or 20” inductions, paint upgrade, trailer hitch, performance...
  6. Tesla Slashes Prices

    This is a game changer. I wouldn’t want to be Volkswagen or Cadillac or Ford…..or any of the legacies. Over the last 24hr, every EV basically became less competitive (price wise). Chevy can sell a Bolt for 33k, but most people will pick a 37k Model 3 over that. Same for ID4, Etron, Lyriq, etc...
  7. ***Thread is OBE***—MMEs now qualify for tax credit—Who is still going through with their 2023 MME purchase despite the new IRS tax credit rules?

    Waiting isn’t a bad idea. GM is releasing two vehicles tailor made for the IRA; Equinox and Blazer EV. If they can deliver on just 2/3rd of their promises, they will knock it out of the park, and put extreme pressure on every existing EV. Equinox is supposed to have 300mi range, and cost $30k...
  8. DCFC in America - it’s falling apart

    The reason CCS is falling apart is every brand invested in the success of CCS is cash strapped, not making any money, and in some cases - only existing because of an emissions scandal. Tesla is the only brand with money, and throwing it at a charging network. When consumers look at a map of...
  9. CCS connectors coming to Tesla Superchargers in the US says Elon Musk

    Exactly. Tesla isn't installing 100 superchargers in the middle of the desert because they lose money.
  10. CCS connectors coming to Tesla Superchargers in the US says Elon Musk

    So...just like a gas station, except margins of 300-400%. Got it.
  11. CCS connectors coming to Tesla Superchargers in the US says Elon Musk

    Short term pain for long term gains. I disagree about DCFC being a losing business proposition. Look at the margins of a gas station. Cut throat. Look at the DCFC networks. Electrify America charging 43c/kWh. Tesla charging anywhere from 29c-42c/kWh. Electricity rates per kWh are as low as...
  12. CCS connectors coming to Tesla Superchargers in the US says Elon Musk

    I am not so sure about Tesla paint quality (or any issues) issues in 2022.. These seem to be a relic of the past. Rivian is the brand in the hot seat now, with respect to releasing EV’s with substandard paint. Tesla owners (and car reviewers) are all very surprised and impressed by the very...
  13. CCS connectors coming to Tesla Superchargers in the US says Elon Musk

    The Tesla Texas SC grant was for a CCS Supercharger network in Texas. It was going to be the first instance of Tesla doing this in North America. InsideEV’s is quoting Forbes; which seems like a pretty good source...
  14. CCS connectors coming to Tesla Superchargers in the US says Elon Musk

    Tesla is under appreciated. Ford won't even manufacture the Mach-E in USA, won't even build a DCFC. I can appreciate the Blue Angels program, but that is a drop in the bucket compared to what Tesla has done. Tesla is... Dealing with city/township permitting process and easements Dealing with...
  15. CCS connectors coming to Tesla Superchargers in the US says Elon Musk

    Tesla will not open the SC network up anytime soon* Tesla has already attempted to create CCS SC with state governments, but their chargers were too inexpensive to comply with the grant requirements (Tesla supercharger per unit installed costs are 1/5th the price of any competitor, as per...
  16. List of insignificant little flaws of Mach-E

    I know there will be teething pains, or in the case of a bricked car; major catastrophic issues. It is the insane resale values that make this purchase reasonable. I can put 5-10k miles on it, earn the right to complain, and sell it for more than the adjusted dealer markup ripoff that Ford...
  17. MME #3 in US 1st Quarter EV Sales

    I cannot downplay it tho. It is a nearly daily occurrence on this forum. As the number of these events have increased; the close call stories (life and death) are becoming more concerning. Once again, I'll take a misaligned panel and 20 minutes with a wrench over this - anyday. But in all...
  18. List of insignificant little flaws of Mach-E

    A lot of interior parts are from other models (that you find in a rental car lot). E.g. - the gear shifter A lot of the interior parts are poor quality, or not what you expect in a vehicle at this price point. E.g. - the hatchback cover on the demo was broke. It was broke because it was low...
  19. MME #3 in US 1st Quarter EV Sales

    Better than the Honda I came from. There seems to be a sharp increase in Tesla build quality in last 6-8 months. I couldn't find any misaligned panels, or paint imperfections. Honestly, the build quality from Ford is more concerning (to me). The amount of bricked Mach-E on this forum is on...
