    Model Y Finance Issues.

    Great value from Credit Karma (owned by INTUIT). They use information that's readily available to the credit services anyway. I like being able to see my credit history back to the day I was born. All the houses, all the cars, all the travel, all the wives (not really), and a complete credit...

    Official Foundation Series Dual Motor Waiting room

    As said, they are producing about 1,000 per week. Mine has arrived in Jacksonville, three hours north. Originally scheduled to arrive May 27, but I understand the truck driver had to visit two girlfriends in Louisiana. Jacksonville is a Regional Center and they have to unload it and then...

    Model Y Finance Issues.

    I have used Credit Karma for 10 years. They alert me to any actions taken on my account. And the best part is, it is FREE. I wouldn't have known about the above mess, had it not been for Credit Karma. Multiple credit bureaus report various scores and there are also FICO scores, so the scores...

    You may want to try a Credit Karma loan!

    Model Y Finance Issues.

    BUYER BEWARE: I found financing for my Model Y, at a very competitive rate with Digital Federal Credit Union (DCU). The rate was good, but the process to get on board was atrocious. It took weeks and quite frankly wasn't worth the effort. After "surviving" the onboarding torture, I found out...

    Wait For Non-Foundation Series?

    Well, Let's say until they exhaust the list of those willing to pay the extra $20k. By that time the dual motor price will increase and it will no longer qualify for the tax credit or Trump will eliminate the tax credit. Sorry, to sound so negative, but it is all driven by $$$$$. I was number...

    Official Foundation Series Dual Motor Waiting room

    I went on the website and found the Tactical Grey and all-weather, increased range tires, BUT, BUT, BUT......My current delivery window is 1 Apr to 1 June 2024. If I change to Tactical Grey and longer-range, all-weather tires, it pushes me out at least to a July to September 2024 timeframe...

    Fix the darn wipers

    Fix the darn wipers so they don't go on at will and start scraping a dry windshield. Fire the 5th grader who wrote the code for them and assign someone who knows what they are doing. It is a safety hazard to have to turn them on to turn them off. It's only been three months, since the update...

    Auto Wipers

    Totally agree. Forget about FSD, which is still five years out for the NHTSA to approve it (especially after the first few deaths). Fire the 5th Grader in the basement who writes code for the wipers and hire a wiper engineer from ANY other company. Not a drive goes by without the wipers...

    CyberTruck (CT) waiting room

    Any thoughts on how this might delay the delivery schedule, if at all. Easy fix might have them catching up soon. My ETD 1 Apr to 1 Jun No VIN yet, so mine is likely not one sitting in the lot.

    Tires are Already Bald After 14523 Miles in Less Than 2 Years and? Is this Normal?

    Another consideration is Hankook tires. They are quiet, sticky and last a long time. The Hankook tires in the pic on the left set the Word SUV 1/4 mile record back in the day and they were still looking good with 35,000+ miles when I sold the Raven X. I currently have 41, 606 miles on the OEM...

    Source for production of 1,000 Foundation Series?

    No need to apply to work at Tesla. Got my notification for a 1 April to 1 June Delivery. Hopefully, delivery won't be affected by the assembly line shut down for seven days for issues relating to accelerator lubricant. 12 hour shifts are being cut to 11 hours (day) and 10.5 hours (night)...
