Keep Lexus or Get Tesla?

[Anonymous]

VW is offering a crazy cheap lease deal on the ID.4. Something like $1K at signing and $149/month.

Great car at that price point.

Will definitely buy another Tesla. They are great vehicles!

You seem like a reasonable, rational person. What are you doing on DCUM?

No they are not.

Tesla is about to go through some things.

Its Chinese competitors is going to crush it.
Oh and EU pension holders just sold all Tesla stock.

You are a moron if you buy a musk vehicle not to mention racist very studious you can not figure out how unreliable they are

Buy a 1 year old used Tesla so Elon doesn't get the $$.

That being said, we have two electric cars, a Tesla and a Volvo--the Volvo has some weird electrical things sometimes like "backup camera is unavailable" and dumb temporary stuff like that. It does ride nicer than the Tesla.
DH will probably keep is 5 year old Tesla until it literally falls apart, since he loves that car but doesn't want to give Elon more $$ at this point.

Nope. Tesla is behind the times. Car companies have to continually reinvest to keep up with competition. Tesla has not and is being left in the dust. This is why Musk wants to stop any competition.

More like 2015 with your perspective.

This. There hasn't been anything innovative out of Tesla in years.

I would definitely go with a new Tesla.

Lexus if you prioritize value

And I agree with PPs. I'm anti-Musk but not anti-Tesla. I just think the Tesla design feels super outdated and looks bland. And that's saying a lot since Lexus isn't exactly the bell of the ball either.

You should really look around. Plus the lease deals are pretty insane. The Hyundai has EV leases $160 a month and $3-4k down. Volvo xe30 are selling like crazy(small car). Polestar, BMW, Genesis, Lucid Air(over 400 miles per charge), etc.

You can also look a year old cars and save a boatload. The EV market place has really changed.

Agree with all of this. Why does it need to be a Tesla?? Shop around!

Still going to buy that Tesla?

Nope. Will be shopping around. I was able to rationalize it and was ready to go with the new Tesla however i just cannot do it, especially being Jewish. The salute and the Holocaust puns that followed. There’s no mistake now. Looking at a bunch of other EVs now.

Me either. We have done such a poor job investing in our electric grid for the past 30+ years, and now that Trump is just sewing chaos all over the place, I don't have any hope for a prudent, systematic approach to modernizing it. When it fails, and it will, at least in portions of the country, folks with electric only cars are going to be SOL. If we have anyone normal in charge, they will prioritize electric use for live-saving needs like hospitals, temp control in extreme climates, food storage, etc.
