Why You Should Buy a Tesla Model 3
My wife and I have driven a Model S for over 2 years, and a Model 3 for a couple months. We get a lot of questions about whether we like the cars, Tesla in general, and whether the “cheaper Tesla” is worth buying. This post is an attempt to answer those questions, clear up some misconceptions, and present a clear case why the Model 3 is a great buy if you are in the market for a new sedan. Cost Let’s start with the most important thing for most people who are buying a car - overall cost. The Model 3 is available in three trims right now (options add cost on top of this): Standard Range Plus: $39,500 and 240 miles of range Long Range: $49,500 and 310 miles of range (includes dual motor all wheel drive) Performance: $59,500 and 310 miles of range (includes dual motor all wheel drive) These numbers are all before incentives, if you buy the mid range battery and take delivery before the end of Q2, you will get a $3750 Federal Tax Credit, and whatever state incentives
