The biggest price drop would have to be the Model 3 Long Range, $5,000 price drop for existing inventory

Looking for a rental car for my trip to Australia and EVs are not just available but they're way cheaper to rent than gas cars. A model 3 goes for as little as $24CAD/day while you can get a BMW iX3 for a few bucks more. I need to look into what the charging network is like for the places I'm going (I have a couple day trips out of Sydney) but I've booked the iX3 for now.

Even when using coal fired electricity, an EV is still better for the environment over a gas vehicle. https://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/el...-vehicle-myths | |

Any incentive right now for installing a charger @ your residence? Seemed like the charger rebate program is no longer available after June 15, sounded like the funding has ran out.

Slight change in Tesla's color selection
White is no longer the standard color, it's now midnight silver metallic

Resale value dark gray. Ugh...
The Tesla pearl white is actually quite a nice looking colour. I can't believe you'd actually have to start paying extra money for that...

Crazy how black is now the premium paint color at $2,000 - more expensive than the white or blue.

If you want to do it on the cheap, just hire an electrician to install a range plug or something of the sort and get the Travel Charger from Tesla with the appropriate adapter plug to fit in the outlet you just had installed. It will not be the fastest charger out there but will still give you roughly 7-10% charge every hour. My electrician neighbour did this for me 5 years ago for about $100 for material and it took roughly 2 hours.

Electrician wanted $400 to get the permit that bchydro requires to do the work.

They have cornered the charging standard market ... it's just a matter of time before every EV company has to change.

Anyone know if the bc EV rebate ask for money back if they sold the car within < 1 year?
I've seen it discussed on other forums, but is Tesla following through on this? My in-law's has a 2022 Model 3 and wish to switch to a XC40 and I told them they might need to wait another 2 months...

I haven't gotten a notice from Tesla to return the provincal rebate

I'd have to say the XC40 (recharge, I assume?) is an inferior EV to the TM3. But hey, whatever floats their boat, right?

And now that Volvo's also onboard with NACS, they'll get the game-changing Supercharger access too. Tesla's losing their moat.
