Man what's with the new SUV EVs being so small. Saw more ariyas, solterra, bzev4ztrd4z and they all look so small compared to regular cars around them. The Ariya is the size of a lifted leaf.

Thinking they're small because they're easier to build with the "capacity" of the battery tech in them. Way easier to hit those range and speed targets when you carry less weight.

Getting the same price parity here (Even if it's a model Y RWD) would force a Tesla onto our driveway (and that's with a wife who hates Tesla). At that point it becomes too good to pass up.

At that point it becomes too good to pass up. | The base version of the Model Y is a phenomenal deal as it is still an AWD vehicle, it just has a little less battery capacity and is slightly slower than the long range dual motor Model Y. If it was available up here, we would have one on order.

I would order one immediately and replace our Model 3
Then I would replace my BMW X1 with a Prius Prime as my work commuter car.

$60K for a Model Y is a lot of car, even before the government incentives. Guess we're going to have another way of Model Y owners in the city.

If the Texas spec Model Y was available, it would slot in between the base RWD and LR AWD
That would be the model I would consider

Model Y AWD also qualifies for both rebates now. | Yeah, with the $9k rebate, IMO the Model Y long range AWD is the best bang for the buck if you can swing the $70k purchase price -- better than the TM3 RWD and TMY RWD.
And it SUCKS that I am not in a position to even just consider it LOL~  | |

Looking at the existing inventory, is there really no wait time for a black AWD model Y?
Very tempting, I'm paying over $1000 a month in gas now for my truck. Wouldn't be a bad idea to put that towards a model Y.

The delta between the model 3 and Y is so narrow right now I’m sure the guys who just got model 3s are gonna be losing it.

Can't wrap my head around buying a car from the world's biggest, richest crybaby though.

I Can’t do it; just don’t like the way the car looks inside and out, regardless of price.

Is it a good deal tho? I mean... you love your Mazda2 and that cost like 1/4 the Y brand new and uses barely any gas as it is.
Keeping your money in your pocket is the best deal of all.

I watched a documentary on Henry Ford recently (Amazon prime) and Elon is going down the same path. Henry just wanted to mobilize the masses and ensure that everyone has a vehicle they can own/afford. But then he started believe his own propaganda and what was a rural farm boy turned into a megalomaniac dictator. While he was the first to introduce 5 dollars a day pay for his worker, he also hired goons to beat them up if they tried to unionize.
This shit sounds a lot like Elon.
