Another reason is used EV prices have plummeted so much lately. My buddy just took a trade in for a 2023 Y performance 2k miles with FSD for $4,1000. Those not qualify for the $7,500 tax rebate find it a better deal to get used EV. I just check my trade in value, Tesla is offering me $37,xxx for my one Y performance with 11k on the odo.

I’m the same way, I hate most social media except a few forums I frequent based on cars I own or have owned to learn about them or prospective cars I’m considering. Seems most social media is about “look how great I am” or just a bunch of do gooder virtue signaling, no thanks.

We will know for sure if they come out with new & better incentives or something that gives the stock a push upwards.
They love to makes stocks go up and down. Lol

and despite politicians having pushed for 'green' policies to promote and give incentives for ev sales, they can also completely be bought by fossil fuel interests making big campaign donations and just like that they quickly backpedal from previous policies stated as critical to avoid an 'existential threats'.
and since people can't do math and have been 'scared' by media about ev range and charging, they'll keep paying out the *** for gas vehicles and phev's with giant margins for makers.
the breakthrough will come one day when the value prop, convenience, and features undeniable - better batteries, more charging infrastructure, and lower prices than ice/hev/phevs.

while there's way too much "look how great i am" content i tend to focus on pages/accounts that make me laugh or educate me and there's tons of good ones.

i think the renaming of full self driving software from 'beta' to 'supervised' was meant to show they're closer and to soften the bad news of lower sales. i don't think it worked, but who knows.

Tesla's ability to create a great user experience is unmatched in car industry (my experience and opinion of course).
Got a warning message in my MYP Monday saying the 12V battery was low. Open the Tesla app, click the "Service" icon. There's a blue dot next to that indicating some type of alert. Instead of having to search for "battery replacement" the blue dot alerts me to the battery issue and says "is this why you're scheduling service?" Yes. Takes me to a calendar to schedule. Schedule it for Wednesday. Guy shows up, finishes in 20 minutes. No payment necessary (covered under warranty) but if there was payment needed it just flows through the card I have saved in the app.
Seamless transaction. Love it.

Yep, the app is very well executed and obviously an extension of the car itself. I like software products where you can tell they've really thought through the user experience to minimize clicks and maximize use of information that may already be "known" by the system and think about how to present that to the user. Tesla really excels here.

I'll take the word of verified owners over "I know lots of people with Teslas".

My experiences have been horrible. Car is 2019 Model X.
Hole in tire turned into week long ordeal as almost zero shops near me both had the tire and had the proper lift for a Tesla. The earliest appointment was 1 week at a service center (not the closest).
Car went into limp mode and took it to the nearest service center. A bad HV battery heater was suspected and they estimated 3-5 hours to fix. I was sent home with an uber. 3-4 days later I got the car back. No loaner.
Then HV battery died a few months later. It was replaced under warranty but it only took them like 6 days and the performance is suspiciously similar to the battery that was replaced (I use an app that monitors battery health and not a single blip on any stats). When I got the car back, the falcon wing doors no longer detect obstacles when opening or closing (not an issue prior to this service). I put a service request for that and they want me to pay for replacement parts.
The car itself is great but service is embarrassing considering service for other cars in this price range.

He had a simple repair, not a complex repair and they came to his home. The people I know are "verified owners" of Teslas too. This is also well documented...quick Google brought this up:
The friend of mine who said although she loved the car she wouldn't get another one had a similar issue with a tire, she had a flat on the side of the road and the car was towed to a Tesla service center, it took 3 weeks to get it back with a replacement tire.

That may be how it works out there, but my friend isn’t lying.
She had a loaner, that doesn’t excuse the 3 weeks.
