Trust me, if you're looking to become a first time EV owner, the Model Y is your best pick.
Sporty. Capable. Spacious. And it actually gets better the longer you own it through free software updates.
No other car in this price range gives you this much. Once you own a Tesla, you'll never miss your old car.
Are you ready to make the switch to a Model Y?

@realdavidonline Rivian is who i think should be worried. They are still trying to get established.

Canada will have the choice of buying or not buying a BYD vehicle, just as Mexico does in its free market.
BYD is preparing to enter the Canadian market, with plans to open around 20 dealerships there later this year.
Tesla will die the moment BYD enters the US market and Elon knows it.

@alex_avoigt In the US midwest, it gets cold, really cold. I've had my MYp get to a max range of only 150 miles. 120 if I drive fast. Significantly less if you keep the battery in the 20-80% range.
"Range" wouldn't be an issue if the vehicle got 310 in all usecases.

The BMW iX3 and iX are examples of how little the company still understands about BEVs.
A very large battery means that in 99.99% of cases, when long distances aren't being driven, an unnecessary amount of weight is being carried around, which is inefficient and expensive.
Since a large battery naturally takes longer to charge, even with fast charging speeds, the supposedly advantageous feature of a long range is worthless, because you simply end up spending more time charging and if you take shorter charging stops you could have been more efficient with a smaller battery.
To everyone claiming they want to drive 1,000 km without a break: studies show that people with such a strong bladder are rare. And if your family is coming along, forget it. Such cases are so rare that it makes no sense to develop a vehicle for them.
Both vehicles are fundamentally flawed in their design and are only suitable for people who, as ICE owners, have been falsely instilled with fear for years that BEVs supposedly don't have enough range or that there aren't enough charging stations—both of which are lies perpetuated by the oil and gas industry.

Biggest "the kids are fucked" moment I've had recently was buying a car
Walked into the dealership, told them what I wanted and said I'd pay up-front. Expected them to be thrilled
Instead they were horrified. Spent the next 20 minutes trying to get me to finance it at some absurd rate
Got me curious so after I left I read about car sale profit models. Apparently most US dealerships make more financing now than from the cars themselves
I was such a boomer I assumed they'd want CASH
In reality they want your ETERNAL SLAVERY at 19% APR

@JamesRLandrum @jasonEVadvocate @brandenflasch It's never actually negatively affected my driving or trips. It makes it to the superchargers fine. I don't drive far often anyway.
That said I live in the north, on below 0 days or 90mph days you can look at range thats under 180 miles between charges. Thats significant loss.
English

@TheAnonOne4 @jasonEVadvocate @brandenflasch Sure, I do it all the time, but I don’t go online and bitch that my EV gets lower range as a result.
English

164.5 miles 90-3%. Barely made it home. "But you dont need more range; Do you havr an iron bladder" - What a bunch of crap.
Basically 165 miles in a car rated for 324 at the time of purchase new is and always will be pathetic. Yes - We absolutely need more range.
@brandenflasch

English

@TheAnonOne4 @jasonEVadvocate @brandenflasch You can not go 90mph. Get in the right lane and cruise.
English

@JamesRLandrum @jasonEVadvocate @brandenflasch There are roads here people routinely drive 90mph on. It kills range.
English

That’s a you problem buddy. You were going 70-80mph. If you can’t accept losing 1-2 minutes of time by dropping down 5mph to gain 20-40 miles of range that’s on you for being terrible with resource management.
I have no problem getting 200 miles out of my 230 mile rated EV even taking the highway.

US fertility rates just hit another record low
In 2025, the US general fertility rate fell to 53.1 - the lowest level ever recorded
Japan, South Korea, and Germany have already been shrinking for years. Japan has been shrinking for years, South Korea’s population has already started to decline, and Germany would be shrinking without immigration
Now the UK joins them - deaths will outnumber births every single year starting in 2026
No economy grows without people
No pension system survives without young workers
No culture persists without families having children
This is the slowest civilizational crisis in human history

@Dcg321 @GlonNares @XFreeze True.
I think cell phones and social media are a big part too. Humans never had connection to more than their local groups until like.... 2000.

@30SecondYou @HazelAppleyard The spy doubles on average every 10y. So your 1 becomes 4 in 20y, in real terms.
English

@HazelAppleyard If you just plopped the million into an index fund, you’d have like 7 million in 20 years - you couldn’t do that with pushups you’d have to do like 900+ a day for 20 years to hit that number.
English

@GlonNares @XFreeze Yeah I'm sure working 40+ hours a week and high cost of living isn't the problem at all
English

@TicTocTick Chevy VOLT was actually a sick car, worked just like this. They are a steal right now.
English

@DennisCW_ Supercharger value is vastly overstated here. The only possible way this makes sense is that your fully charging this car like... 8+ times a week and not once at home.
Home charging is more convenient, and if you cant home charge don't buy an EV. It's worth maybe $50/mo, if that
English

🚨The $572/mo Model 3 Performance deal rn is pretty slick 👀
Play it right and get almost $8,600 OFF ✅
Here's the deal:
• 1 year free Supercharging (easily $200–$300/mo depending on usage) = $2,400
• $3,000 in Free Options
• Stack w/ Demo Discounts $2,200 OFF
• America Hero's $500 OFF
• Loyalty $500 OFF
• $599/month payment
All for a 0-60 in 2.9s, sports car thats could be your personal chauffeur.
Best of both words for $599/Mo

@The_Mess85 @SgtNads @MoDOT These things are true in the US as well, but it's just so widespread it's hard to police
English

@SpaceXobsessed @Teslarati @CCMurray12 They all can, the cheaper ones usually do. LFPs are in other brands as well, but tesla has them on the lower range models.
What's interesting is that those models at 100% are usually more than my performance at 80% (daily max)
English

@MaxJohannPucher @KatieMiller Solar deployments are on an exponential curve. It seems inevitable
English

@KatieMiller That is an utter misrepresentation. It means that solar could not even keep up with energy demand growth. Much less it is able to replace existing energy demand.
English

@KatieMiller That chart makes not sense. What exactly were they renewables between 1900 and 1950 running at 40%?
English

@SchraderJo56657 @KatieMiller I know this is a joke but there's actually a real answer to this because electricity can be used to create artificial jet fuel and gasoline. It would be expensive but it's entirely possible to use solar to create synthetic jet fuel that's 100% carbon neutral
English

@KatieMiller How many solar panels does it take to get a 747 off the ground. Can't find a graph for that
English

@Teslarati @CCMurray12 It’s better for the battery to only charge them to 80%
English

@Teslaconomics Your going to have
-constant minor repairs
-cleaning
-depreciation
-major damage occasionally
Not to mention competition from the guy next door ordering 10 of these too. There's no competitive moat.

I will be building my own personal fleet of 25-50 Tesla Robotaxis one day. And I will prove to the world that I can generate ~$1,000,000 per year in passive income from it. I really think there is no other passive income vehicle like this on Earth - better than real estate. The Robotaxi opportunity is coming, I can feel it. And it’s going to level the playing field for everyday people like you and me, kinda like what Airbnb did to hotels. All the doubters, just wait and watch me prove it in real time. I’m so ready.
