Tesla's Supercharger Team was recently laid off. We discuss what this means for the company on today's TMC Podcast streaming live at 1PM PDT. You can watch on X or on YouTube where you can participate in the live chat.
I do have solar @ about $0.14/kWh (small system almost 13 years old, about 3.2kW optimum - currently there's two 185W panels offline). And yes I don't drive much but if you've been reading my posts over the last couple of years, I charge at a local ChargePoint with my CHAdeMO adapter at $0.19. That's why I haven't installed my Gen2 WC and I'm on a non-EV rate.
Beware - CarMax (and most online places) does NOT honor online quotes.
BTDT last fall.
They give you an attractive "trade in" price, then invite you for an "inspection". Then the offer drops by $5-10K due to "market conditions".
Also, if you do nationwide search on CarMax for Model 3's under 100K miles ... you wont find anything that has more than 59K miles.
That is because CarMax does not buy high-mileage cars, defined as anything above 60K miles:
You folks in California are stuck with some sucky electric rates. We pay $0.12/kWh here in North Carolina, making a Tesla very economical to drive indeed.

Yup, CA has the fourth highest cost of living by state. One reason is the electric companies were responsible for deadly wildfires. They get fined and the customer gets stuck paying the fines for them. I dont know if thats really true but does seem plausible.

One thing I haven’t seen mentioned is a the crazy price fluctuations and the affect of the tax credit. I bought a brand new model 3 for $28220 a few weeks ago (including tax credit). A year ago during the insane EV pricing bubble that same vehicle would have been nearly $50k. Prices have fallen steeply and tax credits are in full force now, that will have an effect on the market.
Or at least, it should. I still see used 3s listed for $35k on marketplace every day.

Makes sense. They're utilities, the state can't let them go out of business, so costs eventually get passed to the consumer, including fines and penalties.
We dont allow "State Vs state" discussions here because they almost always turn into flame wars. So, I am politely asking to put a halt to the "CA vs" stuff.
They pretty famously will buy practically anything - even if they just wholesale it and don’t resell themselves.
As for the 60k number, I just bought a Subaru Crosstrek from them last month with 75k miles and there are countless vehicles available on their site well north of that number so this claim seems fabricated.
