Buying a Tesla in 2026

Don’t buy a Nazi car

The X is discontinued and might be a bad strategy. You will have a very hard time servicing the falcon wings every time they break.

Wouldn’t touch them at all. The company valuation is based upon them becoming a robotcompany. If Tesla switch to a robotcompany, are they ever going to keep their promises or developing the cars that will be sold in the near future? If they don’t, then what happens? Are there going to be a new saving grace for the stock or will it collapse? If the later then what?

This. Even if you don’t personally care about supporting fascism through your choices, you need to know that other people will judge you every time they see you with that car.

Don‘t buy a Tesla. You can get much better cars for your buck. Going from an X5 to a Tesla will feel like a downgrade.

Rivian R2 is coming out this year. I'd wait for that.

Elon did a Nazi salute in front of the whole country. And you’re still willing to give him your money? I cannot comprehend.

Buy a Tesla, dont listen to these uninformed people.

Moving from an BMW to a tesla is like going from prime beef to chopped liver.

Please don't buy a Tesla. They are pretty shitty cars, and Musk is worse

Looks like a joke or provocation. Did you have a chance to evaluate Tesla interior quality ? After bmw x5 45 that will be a downgrade

Get a BMW iX. There's no comparison in materials, build quality, driving dynamics and service.

Full EV is good, I don’t see the need for hybrid. But I’d look at other dealers. Tesla doesn’t have the edge they once did, and other manufacturers can give you a car with better build quality for the same price.

Buying a Tesla is a terrible financial decision, unless you are willing to drive it until it falls apart (resale market is horrendous) and if you're willing to gamble that you'll never be in an accident (notoriously expensive to repair). Check out the insurance rates, as they seem to be a very expensive car to insure. Don't forget that Tesla is widely understood to lie about the car's abilities and force you into subscriptions that will bleed you dry. I like EVs, but you couldn't give me a Tesla-- I'd rather walk.

What's wrong with you?

I mean, even if you disregard Elon, they just aren’t the revolutionary car they used to be. Numerous reports of poor build quality, involved in more accidents than any other EV and 4 models have recently be ranked in the bottom 10 of all EVs for reliability.

Why not wait for iX3 from BMW? Apparently it'll be a game-changer. I got rid of the Nazi Y mobile and bought i4 xDrive40. It's actually amazing, maybe with a little less range, but comfort, style, fit and finish is miles better than Tesla. BMW also offers great lease deals, discounts, you get few years of free connectivity, HUD, infotainment and telemetry screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. I don't know why would anyone even consider that relic which is Tesla nowadays from a self-absorbed, fascist billionaire scum. It's different if you own one but buying it new knowing the CEO is literally destroying democracies and world order, dismantling our government, yearning to join group of pedophiles on an Epstein island, doesn't sound like a coherent and moral decision to me.

BMW iX3. More range (400 miles) faster charging (20 minutes), nicer car.

I have a 2008 Tundra and a 2026 Y. Driving the Tundra seems like riding a horse it is so crude compared to the Y. But given the recent EPA ruling change I suspect the auto industry is going to be very different in a few years. I would keep the BMW and see what shakes out in the near future.

Dusted off the account to defend Elons honor. Nice.

And it is only getting worse: [https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/feb/12/elon-musk-posts-january-white-supremacists](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/feb/12/elon-musk-posts-january-white-supremacists)

Or prime beef to pink slime

Switching from one of the highest quality vehicles made to one of the lowest quality, not to mention by far the highest fatality rates? Tesla claims it's no longer a car company, but the reality is it never was. They pump some crappy widgets off their assembly lines as part of their dog & pony show to cover up the giant ponzi scheme. The hypervaluation is a bubble that cannot last and will likely crash soon. Do not be surprised if they are bankrupt in 5 years, leaving the ~~sucker~~customers with no warrranty service or space parts. Keep the B'mer.

More like prime beef to some soy-based meat substitute laced with cyanide.

Jesus.

Why would you buy a car from a company which is exiting the car business?

This is a troll post right? BMW makes a iX? Basically the electric version of your X5 (until the actual iX5 comes out next year).

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

It actually ***will*** be a downgrade.

i would check out the neueklasse bmws, 800v and way higher range and less consumption.

If you like BMW the iX is probably the better bet, or even the soon to be on sale iX3 which has more range than anything Tesla has & an 800V battery which gives you 300kW+ DC fast charging speeds.

Elon just cancelled the S and X and he will cancel the 3 and Y at his first opportunity. He is not a people person and wants to get out of the retail car business (and his low-budget business model scaled to 600,000 cars/year in the US but not much more) I am a happy 2023 Model Y AWD owner but the Rivian R2 looks much closer to the kind of BEV I want, and it has a NACS port so the R2 will be a strict upgrade to my MY if & when I get it.

> Buy a Tesla, dont listen to these uninformed people. You mean like Elon? He's the one who said Tesla isn't a car company. Why would anyone buy a car from a company that's not a car company?

> I have a 2008 Tundra and a 2026 Y. Driving the Tundra seems like riding a horse it is so crude compared to the Y. There's almost 20 years difference in those vehicles, comparing them to put down the Tundra is ridiculous. Try driving a new car from a decent car company. >I suspect I suspect you're still in the first blush of a new car with your MY.

X5 45e / 50e is a dream car for me. Having owned a Raven Model S and getting shot of it last year following Elon outing himself with his saluting for a massive £ loss I insist you go look at other brands, or keep your X5.

Thank you for the insight :-). BTW I love my 2008 Tundra. Am keeping it. Tundra went from C.R. most reliable truck to close to the worst (worst is Ram 1500 and all the GM trucks). Only thing I miss on my 2008 is active cruise control. I usually keep cars a minimum of 20 years but the Tundra I may keep forever? . Depends if the Democrats stand firm on eliminating gas cars in California in 2035. They really did ban under 25 HP gasoline mowers last year. Only way to get one now is used or travel to another state to buy one. Might be the same for cars in California 2035. 9 more years.

Funny that you would describe Tesla as Nazi in preference to keeping a BMW. "In 2016, on its 100th anniversary, BMW officially apologized for its wartime past, expressing "profound regret" for supplying the Nazis and using slave laborers."

That history not lost on me

NACS BMW would be perfection : )

I’d recommend an electric BMW IX model. They made a great car. Tesla is on the way to become a robot and cyber-cab company. The model x is axed and for how long they keep they alive?

Model X is much better than the BMW X5. It outperforms in both costs and efficiency.

That is not true. It will be fully supported.
