Why do you think it won’t exist in 2 years? I haven’t seen anything to corroborate that. Maybe it won’t, I hope it does, it’s the only Tesla I like. But why worry and why jump ship so early. I don’t have to tell you about the alternatives on the market, I’m sure you’re well aware of what’s out...

Most of those protestors are paid to be there, they CANT have open discussion because they don’t truly hold an opinion on the issue, they’re just there to collect a paycheck. I always assume Anyone wearing a mask and hiding their identity at a protest is being paid to be there. They don’t want...

Getting parts has always been a crapshoot. In 2015 after an accident, my car was in the shop for 3 months waiting for a hood. Many people waited months for parts and this was back when Elon was every liberals wet dream. Elon Musk aside, if the model s/x is no longer good enough for you, if it...

What did Tesla stand for that he killed? Tesla was in the business of making electric cars, they still do. Elon wanted EVs to become mainstream… and they’ve basically accomplished that task.

He promised to give billions to end world hunger if the organization could prove that it would. They never did, and so he didn’t. Because he knew it was BS, one time donation of a few billion will not end world hunger. You knew that, yet you still twisted the facts to fit your narrative. You...

The car must have sold because the link just takes me to the used car list. No specific vehicle. Having said that, personally I’d choose a lightly used model s over a new y every time.

For it to be abandoned, Tesla would have had to be working on it. Is there any evidence that Tesla was working on it besides the completely made up claims backed by “trust me bro” sources?

From what a service advisor once told me, the trade in amount was not set by them but rather what the auction was paying them. Tesla didn’t keep the used non Tesla vehicles, they sent them straight to the auction. Maybe the reason for the trade in adjustment is coming from the auction...

I wanted the 19s but the inventory model they offered came with 21s A month later I’ve got a few dings on the wheels and I deal with 0 curbs. Can’t wait to swap them out for 19s or 20s

Correct

Never driven a model 3 before.

I gave up, it was too strange. Initially they said the vehicle was at a service center a hundred miles away. After many delivery attempts I offered to just take delivery at that location, I had no problem driving an hour and a half to pick it up if Tesla was having trouble finding a shipping...

That’s funny because a few years ago I went through the exact same situation. Delivery appointment rescheduled 5 times, one of those times was the same day. They couldn’t get the car shipped from a service center a 100 miles away. I offered to go there and take delivery but they refused that...

I’ve test driven a plaid and bought the long range, I now wish I went with the plaid. The acceleration on the plaid is just next level.

Received the camber kit. Going to have it installed this week. Just need to find a shop in the DFW area that will do it.

Every car is a ticking time bomb if it’s being used. The question is what’s going to fail and who’s going to pick up the tab. If you’re extremely nervous about it breaking down, sell it, get some money out of it and upgrade to a newer one.

After a few thousand miles I can feel the vibration in the 40-50 mph range, with the 21in wheels being as stiff as they are, it doesn’t really bother me as I can already feel all the other imperfections in the road. No vibration in the 80mph range and that was my biggest concern. So far I’m...

Walmart is the perfect customer, their distribution centers are everywhere and their trucks usually dont go too far.

There’s no need for insults, in a different thread it was pointed out to him that many people did not want to nor could they afford to pay a premium to purchase an EV and he said people shouldn’t care about spending money, they should care about helping the environment. So I’m simply extending...

Take it easy! He’s driving a 70k luxury vehicle.. I think the man has sacrificed enough for humanity!

Take delivery of an ultra red plaid and swap it with me for the M5. Won’t you think of the future generation? Don’t you want to leave a better planet for them? Or are you just interested in hoarding money? I wish you cared more about our planet! Pm me and we’ll discuss the trade in private

He’s trolling, that’s a copy paste he’s used for years. In reality he’s not about that life, I’ve offered him my v10 M5 in exchange for a plaid and he’s ignored it everytime. He said people shouldn’t worry about the monetary cost, and that he upgrades his Tesla every year so clearly money is...

Crazy fast order processing. Already shipped. Hopefully it comes in early next week so I can get it installed asap

I stand corrected. I thought the model s had a 2k pound tow limit with 200 pounds on the tongue.

That’s a Lotus Elise

If I’m not mistaken that tow hitch was really meant for a bike rack.

Thank you. Just ordered the MacBoost camber kit.

Mind sharing which camber arms those would be? My LR has the 21in wheels and I’d like to make sure the tires last as long as possible

That would be an ideal solution, protects teslas supercharger reputation and sets more realistic expectations for users. I’ve watched pretty much all of outofspec YouTube cannonball race videos and the amount of EA network chargers that were just non operational for one reason or another is why...

That may not be, but the reason for it is comparable. They’re not selling as many cars, not making as much money, so they’re laying off employees. I’m a pessimist through and through and even I don’t consider this “chaos” Chaos to me would be if Tesla started closing service centers and...

I don’t think you can compare mega packs and superchargers, with mega packs a business can easily calculate their ROI, much less so with superchargers. EV charging stations for private businesses have been around for a while now, and yet not many businesses are installing them (unless paid for...

Chaos? That’s a bit of an over statement no? The company is going through a rough patch, just like literally every other auto maker right now. The media and some of you are acting like this is a permanent thing, more likely than not this is temporary, they laid off the staff in the department...

That would be yet another bad decision in a series of bad decisions lately. Tesla supercharger is awesome mainly because of its reliability, if Tesla moves toward allowing 3rd parties to purchase them, it’ll turn into another Electrified America network, EA is notorious for being unreliable...

I bought one off eBay as well, by the time it arrived I realized I prefer to use my phone. I didn’t realize the phone would work so well.

I agree, they should have started with the tesla-bot team and the FSD team.

That’s what it is, I got it mixed up with Spotify! Thank you.

Took delivery of an inventory model. The only difference are 21in wheels rather than the 19s. Which is fine, I was planning on getting aftermarket wheels anyway. Car looks fantastic. Slight driver door misalignment, bottom of the driver door the gap between the front and rear door is wider...

If I’m not mistaken that was because they were production constrained and chose to manufacture the model with the higher profit margin.

The only reason I could understand ceasing production of the LR or the S in general is if it cleared room for another assembly line for the model 3/y. But that’s not something they need, giga Austin is not exactly maxed out, and based on the price decrease neither is Fremont.

That would be an even stranger move, they’re assembled on the same production line, taking away the more produced model will slow that production line. Now you have a production line taking up room sitting idle more often.

It would be a huge mistake if Tesla discontinued the S/X. Even though they sell fewer of them than the 3/Y, it’s still billions of dollars annually. I’m not sure Tesla is in a position to throw that away, especially since manufacturing capacity is not exactly a problem these days.

Ah fugg. I now have fomo

If I had to guess, like most things service center related, it’s probably hit or miss regarding whether they’ll cover the cost to retint.

Great minds think alike!

A younger me would have gone with the plaid, but the older me saw the TSLA stock price drop and decided to park the money in there for the foreseeable future. Plus it gives me something to upgrade to in a few years.

I test drove the i7 yesterday and absolutely loved it. But without teslas charging network, it just doesn’t work for me.

Was laying in bed with the wife last night, configuring a new model s, going back and forth between a plaid and long range trying to decide which one to go with. My wife looks at me and says you should get the plaid, sure it’s a bit more money but it’s what you want, I looked at her and said...

He’s going to get a compensation package if the stock tanks?

Yeah wtf is that shi*. That looks like it belongs in a Chinese made econobox.
