You’re subject to the same interest rates no matter what vehicle you purchase. Base model 3 is not any more expensive than a typical new ICE vehicle especially with the federal credit, plus you save on gas and maintenance.

- earthling8118 3y agoWhat EV did you go with? I'm entirely on the fence. I don't even want to own a vehicle but since that's not practical for me yet I want an EV. I just can't stand sending a single dollar in that direction but I also haven't figured out what other options are acceptable.

(the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 are built on the same platform and have the same advantages) It has about the same range as a Model 3 and the fastest charging rate you can get. It has features the Model 3 lacks, like Car Play, 3D park assist, and V2L, and ventilated seats (last one was only offered on the Model 3 this year).

- jandrese 3y agoBase model 3 doesn't qualify for the tax credit. The only Model 3 you can buy with the credit is the much more expensive Performance edition.
- jliptzin 3y agoWas that true in 2023? Don’t know just what my friend told me when he bought his model 3 a few months ago. He decided to pull the trigger on it because it was the same price as a brand new camry
- dashmeet 3y agoNot true in 2023. In 2023 every version of the model 3 qualifies for the 7500 tax credit in the US
- jandrese 3y agoSadly it is 2024 now. Very few vehicles qualify for the tax credit now. The ones that do qualify tend to be the high end models that are hard to keep under the price cap—you need to special order the no-options model and hope there aren’t too many dealer fees. Good news for Chevy is that the Bolt qualifies. Bad news is that they stopped making it and no other Chevy made the cut.
- epgui 3y agoWe're talking about the 2023 Q4 earnings report.
- Marsymars 3y agoSeeing price comparisons like always make me feel like I'm living in a very different place. Here (in Canada), a base Camry currently starts at $36k (with the base hybrid starting at $38k) and a base Model 3 is $51k after the $5k federal tax credit.
