Fun note: Model 3 is below $35k inflation adjusted now. I don't think it's a good buy yet but kinda funny that prices have dropped this far.

I'm not sure about lemmy, but realtesla on reddit is pretty much /r/IHateTesla, so you have to assume people are anti-tesla when interacting here.

That is a very reasonable price for a model 3, especially if you can take advantage of the tax credit. It makes other electric cars offerings looks silly in comparison.

All of that said, it is still too expensive, and in the future the world needs more affordable electric cars.

An FYI: the bulk of RealTesla posters were forced to build our own community as we were systematically banned from the mainstream Tesla subs.

Anyone who has ever felt the need to say 'I like my Tesla but....' at the start of their posts instinctively knows what I mean. The pro-Tesla community is rabid. You get banned for the slightest criticism.

My goal here is to provide assurances that Tesla criticism doesn't need such qualifiers or the need to virtue-signal your undying worship of Elon Musk (or Tesla) before or during criticism.

We are for Tesla discussion controlled by people outside the cult. Yes, this leads to anti-Tesla bias because when the mainstream subs ban anti-Tesla thought, the users will come here (or historically, to Reddit RealTesla). But it's a bias I accept as unavoidable as long as the heavy-handed moderation and cult-building tactics of Tesla / Elon Musk's reality distortion field exists.
