Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season Tops UHPAS Field, Michelin Misses the Mark

Tire Rack tested five ultra‑high-performance all-season tires on a Tesla Model 3 and found Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season generally led the field (especially in dry conditions, and it tied Michelin in wet testing), while Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 did not win overall; Goodyear Eagle Sport All-Season was the efficiency leader but trailed in overall performance. The test did not include cold-weather data, so winter performance is unassessed and could change recommendations.

Tesla Model 3 Depreciation and Service Woes Drive Owner to Subaru

After nearly 4 years of ownership, a Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus has depreciated by 58%, with an estimated trade-in value of just over $20,000, representing 42% of its initial purchase price. However, when factoring in the exclusion of Full Self Driving (FSD) from the original price, the depreciation rate increases to 51.5%. The author contemplates trading in the vehicle but expects the trade-in value to remain relatively stable in the coming years.

Overcoming EV Adoption Hurdles: Insights and Tips for Prospective Buyers.

While electric vehicle (EV) sales are increasing, a recent study by Ipsos shows that consumer sentiment regarding EVs might be falling due to concerns about driving range, battery life, and charging infrastructure. Additionally, cost-related worries make it difficult for potential buyers to make the switch to EVs. However, the myth that EV ownership costs are higher than internal combustion engine vehicles is false, with the average cost of maintaining a BEV being lower than the industry average. The readily-available Tesla Model 3 starts at $38,030, but with federal and state incentives, it could be a sub-$30,000 car for some buyers, rivaling the prices of entry-level sedans from other brands.

Tesla Model 3 qualifies for EV tax credit, shares surge.

In California, the entry-level Tesla Model 3 RWD is less expensive than the Toyota Camry if you deduct the $7,500 federal tax credit as well as the California tax rebate. Those who qualify for both incentives can save $15,000 or 37% of the $40,240 price tag for the Model 3, reducing the effective cost to $25,240 - less than the entry-level Toyota Camry. The Tesla Model 3 is already more popular than the Toyota Camry in California, and when prices between BEV and ICE models become comparable, electric cars are usually winning thanks to lower energy costs than fuel costs.
