Take a look at build quality of MY: Not acceptable to me for a car over 50K.

Not sure of the MME range is underestimated (I'm guessing it'll increase just slightly, like 3-4%), but perhaps just as meaningful is that the usable battery was given an exceptionally large 11% reserve. That should mean people should be able to achieve most of that advertised range more safely. The consensus seems to be that Telsa sets very little reserve so they can advertise longer range, but that most people don't actually want to push it that far.I was strongly considering a Model Y for our second car, but everything I've read shows that the range on the Y is overestimated by a pretty big amount.
If, and it's a big if, the MME is underestimating it's range, much like the Chevy Bolt, then I'd feel a lot better getting the MME.
The idea of the Supercharger network is...comforting on road trips, but really we take one or two trips a year, and it's not like there won't be any infrastructure for Ford. Rather it just doesn't seem as polished as the Supercharger network.
If the MME does really well, then I can see their charging network growing in tandem.
Good summation. I've still yet to actually drive an EV, but I've been doing a ton of research over the last year. Sounds like the general consensus is that Tesla is the gold standard for the technology and performance of BEVs, but far from it on the other 80% of the vehicle.To summarize, I enjoyed driving an EV. However, I wasn’t overly impressed by the Tesla itself. Since they are considered the gold standard, I had expected (maybe even hoped) to leave the test drive event having to order one. My feeling when I left was that I am fine waiting on the MME.
You can do anything with enough money ...Unfortunately, you can't get more than a 240v plug in your house as two-phased power is the max in residential areas. So an L2 charger is the fastest you can get at home.
Yep, I know I am getting “nit picky “ here but it is not a rebate --- it is an EV Fed Income Tax Credit of $7,500 deducted from your Fed Income Tax for the year you placed it in service.49,990 Model Y Dual motor, no rebate available
41,195 Select AWD after rebate
45,200 Premium AWD after rebate
50,200 Premium Ext Range AWD after rebate
The 49k Y is also extended range. So it seems to be similar to 50k MME after tax credit. How similar will be known after EPA range is released. Does the premium MME have the panoramic roof, can't remember. I think it does have heated seats. Not sure driver profiles will move steering wheel though.49,990 Model Y Dual motor, no rebate available

That doesn't fit on one line. Everybody should know exactly what it is by now.EV Fed Income Tax Credit of $7,500 deducted from your Fed Income Tax for the year you placed it in service
Note that you are paying tax in most states for the $7500, making it reduced to around $7K.Yep, I know I am getting “nit picky “ here but it is not a rebate --- it is an EV Fed Income Tax Credit of $7,500 deducted from your Fed Income Tax for the year you placed it in service.
