It is hard to predict what the Model 3's price will be in the future. We do know that the company will release additional models. As more competition enters this market, the price of the model will likely continue to drop. Recently, the company's CEO tweeted that there was inflation pressure on raw material prices. This could mean that the tax credit available for electric vehicles may be reduced, which would remove the difference in the price for the Standard Range Plus Model.
There have been many updates to the Model 3. The Model 3's cheapest variant is almost $10,000 more than it was in 2021. This may be due to rising demand for EVs. Tesla may be betting on the federal EV-tax credit being restored. This would make the standard model of the car more affordable.
FAQ
Does it really matter what college I choose?
Not really. There's no difference between colleges regarding getting into the automotive industry. But, there are better programs at some schools than others. Look elsewhere if you want something more niche.
To be a car mechanic, do you need a degree? Do I have to study part-time?
While a degree is not required, it does help. Most employers prefer candidates who have studied for a full degree rather than those who haven't. It shows that you've worked hard and are determined to succeed.
But, this doesn't mean you have to stop working while studying. Some universities permit students to do coursework during summer holidays and complete their studies later in a year. Other universities permit students to take classes part-time during the school year.
What is the length of an apprenticeship as an automotive mechanic?
An automotive mechanic apprenticeship takes around three years to complete. This includes two year at school as well as two years as an apprenticeship. The first year of training is spent in the trade. This includes theory and practical skills as well as safety procedures. During this time, you'll also learn how to use tools safely and efficiently. You'll spend the second year in on-the-job training, where you will gain experience in various trades. These periods will also give you the chance to take formal courses.
The final year is dedicated to earning certifications and qualifications in the field. These include NVQs, which are obtained after passing industry-specific exams. In addition, there are HNCs (Higher National Certificates) that cover general subjects such as management, business administration, and customer service. City & Guilds certificates offer qualifications in certain trades.
Is it really worth becoming a mechanic.
This question is dependent on your life goals. If you are looking to make money, then yes. But if meaning and purpose is what you seek, then no.
If you don’t possess any mechanics skills, you won’t be able to do it. It will not make you rich. It won't make you famous. It is unlikely that your life will change.
You would need to spend years learning how to do everything properly. You would still need to hire someone to fix your car if it breaks down. Most people avoid doing this. They find something else to do.
You can make a lot of money if you are looking to do well. If you are looking for a fulfilling life, however, then stay clear of the mechanics' industry.
