BUYING A TESLA IN 2024

EV Channels Review

The video provides a comprehensive guide to purchasing a Tesla in 2024, highlighting significant changes and common pitfalls. The reviewer, Everyday Chris, advises viewers to wait for the Model Y refresh but recommends purchasing the Model 3 now, particularly the standard or long-range variants, due to their updated features and pricing. Key takeaways include understanding the new EPA range testing, the benefits of LFP batteries in the Model 3 for charging habits, and the importance of scrutinizing the build page for accurate feature configurations. The reviewer strongly cautions against applying for financing too early, emphasizing the need to wait for a VIN to avoid potential credit score impacts and higher interest rates. While Enhanced Autopilot is deemed worthwhile, its current limitations without Tesla's sensors are noted, making it a less immediate purchase for some. The video also touches upon charging options, premium connectivity changes, and the availability of used Teslas and showroom vehicles. The Cybertruck's ordering process is also briefly discussed, with a focus on the limited availability of the Founders Series and potential delays for standard models.
