She loves the semi-automatic front doors and the rear gull-wing doors of the X. Plus its nicer fit and finish compared to her early Model 3 (2018). And all the storage space for her work stuff. So easy to get to in the back with the gull-wing door up. Provides very nice access. Regarding...

Jumping in to say that we took advantage of the current promotion and transferred the lifetime free unlimited supercharging and full self driving from our 2017 Model S to a new 2024 Model X. The new car is my wife’s daily driver and she hates the lack of turn signal stalks, etc. But she is...

Hey all - resurrecting this thread to ask if anybody has experience with the availability and reliable functionality of the new banks of charging stations installed in their parking garages. Garage 1 now has 94 units on Level 3, and Garage 2 has 56 of the same. All 240 volt. These will...

Would be useful to have. Will investigate. But this brings up a second question - now that other car manufacturers are going to switch to the Tesla charging standard, how quickly will they switch over their charger stands? Regardless, for $450 to have the flexibility is an easy choice.

We so wish that our Tesla’s could use that CCS charger in Elkins. Apparently neither have the right charging innards. Would be perfect for our trips to Snowshoe.

Also, perhaps you all know this, but just in case… “chill” mode and low regen are your friends in winter driving conditions. Both reduce the risk of losing traction. You can set up a driving profile for yourself with these settings selected to make it easy.

I’ve left all-seasons on my AWD S for the last six years and have done okay. Will occasionally slide a little but never ended up in a ditch. But I should share that we do swap snow tires onto my wife’s model 3 which we use to drive to Snowshoe for ski weekends.

I'll provide a counter message and say that in most circumstances, it really doesn't matter, particularly if the off-brand comes with the NACS connector tip. Background - we have two Tesla wall connectors and one off brand installed in our garage. The latter was for our original Chevy Volt...

That's a substantial difference. I would hold it back and sell it privately.

For me it's about the resale value once FSD is level 5 good. Our cars with attached FSD will be worth big dollars on the open market as robotaxis. Need to preserve the option to sell. <<ducks all the rotten tomatoes thrown by naysayers on the notion that FSD will ever amount to anything>>

Agree - this is the deal breaker for me. I will not be upgrading.

Hmmm... I've got a 2017 Model S with FSD via hardware 2.5. I paid $3k for the FSD back in the day. This is an opportunity to buy new and pull that investment off of the old hardware into a car with new. A $15k savings. Everybody teach me, which cars have FSD version 4? I may pull the...

Well, this is a bit late, but I threw your question to ChatGPT. Below is its response. Not bad. Hello! Here are a few steps you may want to consider when selling a Tesla in the UK: Firstly, ensure that all outstanding finance on the car has been paid off. This will involve contacting the...

Haha - yes, I think you will be able to squeeze by. But if a firing range is called for, you can be sure they won't miss. This is Mountaineer country. Multi-year NCAA rifle champs. ;-)

I swung by again today to answer Cuttin’s question. Although it’s not open yet, it looks well on its way to completion. What’s more, the Tesla charging pedestals are lit up, which I am presuming means that they are on and ready to go. Perhaps one of the supercharger gurus can confirm. The...
