Model 3 Performance is best bang for your buck

It does have a surprising nurburgring time for such a big car. 7:30 puts it up there with some of the fastest sportscars. Although I'm sure it would fall off hard on a second lap.

I was going to buy a Tesla as i thought i could hang with the middle-class goodie-goodies, lounging in EV paradise.

but fuc* that chit, I wanna tote guns, drive a Mercedes V8 and shoot dice.

lol they love to hate us. It has character, it just doesn't have sound. It's extremely fun to drive and an amazing DD. Previous cars were a Hellcat, SRT, Evo. I've had more performance cars than most of you have even driven.

It's fun to drive in a straight line. But handling wise its pretty mediocre at best. Especially when they had their suspension problems.

It also looks gayer each day imo. Tesla really need to redo the styling on the 3 and Y. The X looks like shet but doesn't matter for that kind of car.

Vehicle for dorks and cuckolds

Model X Plaid is now less than $90K, and base Model X is $72.5K (if you qualify for Fed Tax Credit). Both are ridiculously good deals.

Seriously want to sell my Jeep SRT and get a base Model X now. But wondering if I'll just end up kicking myself for not getting the Plaid. Wife would be primary driver, but the X would be our family rig.

Crazy deals right now, Tesla is smashing the EV game, no one is close. A performance mode 3 is an insane deal for what you get.

Look at NEW Model 3 performance in Tesla's Inventory. Tesla has slashed prices and these are going for high $40K. Combine that with the $7,500 tax credit and some states are giving EV rebates, so if you qualify for everything you can an insane deal for straight line performance.

I'd rather get the Model Y performance though. Looks better IMO

What if I told you those prices could very likely come down further?

Interest rates likely won’t come down until the middle of next year if not 2025 but Tesla needs to keep moving vehicles. I wouldn’t be at all shocked to see the S and X hit with more price cuts and everything getting more incentives, more inventory discounts, etc.

Plaid owners are ROPING right now, literally losing tens of thousands of dollars on models they have purchased even as early as a few weeks ago thanks to the extreme price reductions tesla has given the cars.....literally raging on the forums and ******** pages

Might be a good time to buy a plaid for cheap

[InPhase]

Good way to piss off your customers. By destroying resale values due to widespread discounting.

[Destor]

I almost wouldn't be surprised if they discontinue the Model S and X soon, not counting on it but I feel like they probably don't make a lot of business sense at this point

And cutting off production could do something to stimulate retained values, who knows

[greenleaf]

A new Model 3 can be had in Commiefornia for around $24k after tax credit and all that fun stuff. It makes no financial sense to drive ICE and pay $5 gas at the pump as work DD for povertycel LOL.
