I'm thinking about finally upgrading from a 2008 Camry to a Tesla ModelY. Does anyone have the scoop on when the refresh is happening? Will I regret it if I just pull the pin now?
>>27832768>tesla that isn't x or sIt's a shitbox m8>would YOU pay 40 grand for a shitbox you can't even wrench on?
>>27832768The refresh is either next year or the year after. I'm not certain but it is their best selling vehicle and it's been a while. You can just go take a test drive for free BTW. They let you drive it for an hour. The refresh will be in high demand, so you'll have to wait months and Tesla might charge more for it. Ignore retards like this guy >>27832974. He's just upset that Tesla singlehandedly convinced the entire auto industry and governments that we can get rid of ICEVs within a decade.
>>27832768>>27833050Post car hand id EV trannoid shills
>>27832768Next year. They're starting testing now.
>>27832768>going from god tier nippon camry to electro shitboxYou meant downgrade
>>27833236Came here to post thisHappy to see other patricians still walking gods green earth
It's coming probably after a year. I would wait until then, since Tesla refreshes are years apart and if you get the new refresh your car will look [CurrentYear] for about a decade
>>27832768I have a model y. I really like it but you need to make sure you manage your expectations before buying.1. Its not a "drivers" car, its an amazing A to B/road trip car.2. If you dont have a dedicated charger at your house dont bother. Being beholden to super chargers all the time WILL get annoying.3. The fast acceleration is great and never gets old4. If you use your phone as your key the app can be a bit slow causing you to need to close the tesla app and reopen it.5. The buying experience is god-tier. Order/buy your car online, wait for the phone call, pick up your car and be on your way. No waiting at a dealership for 7 hours while they try to figure out a way to fuck you out of more money.6. Range anxiety is not a thing. If you are plugging in at night its never an issue and if you drive like a normal person you get better range that any car aside from a prius thats hyper mileing.7. I prefer to only charge my battery to 80% and only fully charge if i know im going on a roadtrip.ive had mine for 2 years now, if i was in the market for another car i would get another one.
>>278334998. That eery feeling in the back of your head that your car could explode into an unstoppable battery fire at any time is really exciting.9. All the boy at the IPA-drinkers meet up can't stop complimenting you.
>>27833503Yeah, it's great not to have to worry about the car catching fire. Always scared of that when driving my old rube goldberg machine.
>>27833499All that is fair, though the dealership thing comes with a caveat - you are paying full price for the Tesla, no matter what, and you will never receive a discount (tax rebate) you wouldn't also receive at a dealership
>>27833574>>27833499also, 7 hours at a dealership (an extreme, shit credit estimate) is usually less time waiting than waiting over a day for a car you've never seen before
>>27833566LOL
>>27833566Lmao
>>27833574i got a 12k credit when i got mine. and with stealership markups today, you are not walking away with a discount from a dealer
>>27832768Refresh being tested. Probably will be released next year. Possibly a performance model refresh first.
>>27833579Sorry, you aren't convincing anyone that any dealership is better than Tesla. You get to test drive the vehicle, and then when a new one is delivered you can fully go over it before deciding whether or not to accept it.
>>27833499>1. Its not a "drivers" carIts a SUV. Not an enthusiasts weekend race car. LMAO.
>>27832768>upgradinganon an upgrade would be to a 340i or 440i
>>27832768If think about regretting the purchase even before you have driven them at all maybe keep the camry and rent a tesla for week to see how it fits your lifestyle.
I bought one this year exactly because it has not been refreshed and still has the stalks.Refresh will probably arrive early 2025.
>>27832768Go for the 3 and save yourself some cash. Also get a operational lease on a slightly used one, it's cheaper than being hit by the depreciation when you'll try to sell it.
>>27832974Model 3 is like 25k here in Colorado.
>>27833499A few additional notes.> Tesla arguably has the best value base model and worst value additional trim levels. Consider skipping anything beyond long range RWD.> Tesla paint is bad in all aspects: looks, options, quality and price. Wrap is considered a nearly mandatory if you don't want to go with the default white.
Do you really need a model Y? The ride is slightly more stiff than a 3.I bought a used 2020 model 3 performance two months ago and I don't have a charger at home, I charge at work and supplement with supercharging.Proscheaper overall lifetime maintenancefull self driving & auto parkblending in with the California shitheadsoffloads my 250mi weekly commute and regular driving off my 2008 Z4I can actually hear most of my music vs road and engine noiseclimate control from the phone app and other app featuresnice accelerationall the usual dealer software controls like brake actuation for bleeding are accessible on the touchscreenConsCharging at work is equivalent to my region's gas at 60 mpgI drive a Teslablending in with the California shitheadswatching Telsa drivers trying to park at the supercharger gives me a headachedriving the car gives no joy vs the fun I have even in commutes in the Z4gay ass touch screen
>>27832768wow great another thread full of inexplicably positive marketing posts about faggy fucking teslas way to ruin the board
>>27832768This is by far the ugliest fucking "car" I see on the road today, and so unfortunately common as well.
