Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

You are welcome to try the equinox a fwd is around 35k new. Ours is AWD and fully loaded and was 45 plus tax after having supercruise I would definitely get it again it is so nice to just sit back hands free on the 401 in traffic.

Appreciate it and already told my wife. Biggest issue is finding the time to go out your way lol

But will remind her again. Thanks!
 
I have a Mach-e, 99% charging done at home. I set up the Ford plug and charge and it works very well. Used it at compatible Tesla superchargers. Worked great ( adapter required, which was supplied with the car) Just plug in, charging starts and when finished billed to the CC on my Ford account.
My only gripe with public charging is the costing models, it should be consistent across all chargers, ie by the KhW, not by time on the charger. Tesla chargers are the best in my opinion, though the short cords are somwhat problematic for my car.

The pay by kwh issue was regulation. It was apparently illegal for some dumb reason. I think that has been resolved now.

So is it still taboo to be buying Tesla's or is that gone? I'm seeing brand new Model 3s for 40k with the RWD and standard range.

Tempting to say the least.

I have a 2023 Model Y RWD (pre- Juniper). The Model 3 is at a very good price.

Take it for a longish test ride. I was able to test ride overnight- mainly to see if it would fit in my cramped townhouse garage), and make your decision based on that. Not having to haggle at a dealership was a welcome change in experience. I still have not taken it for servicing yet- so not sure how the service experience would be.

i don't know how well competitor's version of FSD or Autopilot works. But the free autopilot is good for rush hour highway driving, really takes the stress out. (although i think Tesla might have removed free Autosteer now)

I would not give the crazies a second thought when buying a car. If they are still thinking of Tesla they won't be for long till the next issues pops up that gives them their self righteous boost. I have a 2021 Tesla Y Long Range and absolutely love it. The simplicity of the whole car and no buttons has actually become something I love about the car. So simple, things just work. They are not perfect of course but it is the most enjoyable car I have ever had. Tesla will give out 24hr test drives and would recommend doing that. There is certainly a mind shift that needs to happen. For me it is worth it.... though it helps that work pays for the car which makes owning a Tesla even easier!

Almost at the point where the Level 2 charger is paid for with the PION rebate. Feb was a cold month and July saw a lot of driving back and forth to new place (80km)
