A few questions:
• Is this replacing the current Model Y or will it be offered in addition to the current Y?
• Looking at the differences between the current and new, I'm having trouble seeing what justifies a $15k higher price, but I'm not really a fancy car guy (I've driven a 2006 Honda CR-V for 19 years) so may be underestimating how desirable some of the new features are.
It looks like the differences are ventilated front seats, rear seats are power folding instead of manual, added a touchscreen to the back row, updated suspension and noise reduction, 8 cameras instead of 7, 15 speakers instead of 7 to 13 in the old models, hands free trunk opening, aluminum instead of wood interior detailing and wrap-around ambient lighting, second row air vents are now power actuated, and there's in infrared reflective coating on the glass.
Are some of those a much bigger deal than I guess they are? Or is this one of those "they are all little, but a whole bunch of little things can add up to making the experience a whole lot better" situations?
• The prices listed, $31490 for the current modem and $46490 are the prices after estimated savings. Those savings are the $7500 tax credit and $6000 estimated saving in gas over 5 years.
Is it normal to include estimated gas savings in the price? When I've looked at dealers or manufacturers sites for other cars I think I've usually seen the tax credit included but don't recall seeing gas savings included.
I'd prefer that gas savings not be included, because that is too dependent on how much you drive. I don't drive a lot. Over the last five years I've driven 7382.2 miles spending $1639.62 for gas. I just want to know for any car I'm looking at what I'm going to pay to drive it off the lot.
