No depreciation. The buyback offer will have been full price plus accessory cost and registration fees.

Laying off the supercharger team seems like the last human resources they should have laid off. Having opened up the network to other manufacturers, they should be accelerating deployment and expansion. Dumbest decision I've seen in years or it's a sign of far more serious internal issues that...

I bought a factory key off of ebay still sealed in the bag for $82.

The rumor couldn't have been stronger. Supposed reliable sources with inside contacts all verifying RGB and camera absolutely coming. Result is supposed reliable source's reputations completely shattered. That one screen shot with an employee saying they're just working through the last of the...

BTW, if you include me in the give away, I'll do an installation and review video and post it within 2 days of receiving it. I don't have a lot of subscribers, but the last short I posted on youtube got over 6600 hits in just a few days:

This looks awesome and the installation looks very straight forward. How do I get it ???? I have a 2024 MSP with round wheel (new center horn button). Couple of questions. Any concern that Tesla might disable this in the future by securing third party adons that talk through the canbus? i.e...

You'd think with dramatically reduced values in the last year back to even before pre-pandemic that they'd lower rates back down because they're average payout per vehicle (highest ones being total losses) are so much lower than before. But each insurer charges as much as they can get away with...

It matters to me ;)

Both of those prices are well below what it costs Tesla to make the LR and Plaid. But I agree with you sort of. I think they should both be $0. Tesla is crazy not to just give them away for free ;)

They're not quite the same. A dealer markup has a temporary expectation. Dealer markups typically occur on new models where demand is temporarily higher. The demand usually falls and the markups are eliminated. Because of this, those looking for slightly used examples will still lookup the MSRP...

You got them to agree to a buyback after only 16 days in service? I didn't even start until 105 days out for service over more than 10 visits. On top of that, on the very first visit, the repainted my liftgate and bumper, badly, and had no explanation and up to the point of the buyback never...

That's because Tesla sells direct and doesn't negotiate pricing. There's no middle man to hide transparency on pricing like you have with the dealer model. On the back end, Tesla also moves 10x faster than everyone else making many changes within a model year and constantly changing suppliers...

Yup. My MXP was $118K in early January 2022. The new base price just 2 months later was $138K and stayed that way for almost a year. I was long into pursuing a buyback before the price started dropping again. Thank goodness the repurchase was based on what I paid and not the new $110K price...

I could believe it with the 1 foot subtracted, but not without. I don't think you're P90DL went faster than this:

For tesla that seems like an impossibility high offer. I'd take that without delay.

I agree they COULD but don't think for second that they will.

That would make it faster than the P90DL.

I don't think they're going to do this for any already sold cars and my guess is that any real power upgrades will have some hardware upgrades even if minor. My guess is they'll introduce Plaid Plus with the track pack factory installed (no option to not have it unless you want the regular...

And this vibration is not the one in the title of this thread.

Yup. The only caveat is if Toolbox prevents you from entering a value that is too far above some expected range as a sanity check.

It can't. The only way to lower the car without lowering links is to do a ride height calibration with Toolbox 3 and LIE about height of the 4 measurement reference points. So if you want to lower the car by an inch, you have to add an inch to the measured height of each reference location.

I have 3 powerwalls. Seems like per kwh, this is a better deal than it was before. I'm used to charging to 100% and turning everything off so that I can discharge them entirely over the 3 or 4 hour events. The year before, the payout was $538. Last year was only $305 with fewer events for the...

Can someone translate this into some likely payout examples?

Especially in places like the Bay Area where $300K is barely middle class.

My lifetime average so for on my MSP is 270 wh/mile, but that includes all the short in town trips where I'm lead footing it and two ski trips to the mountains. Averaging more like 250 on longish drives (was 255 when it was a little colder). As it warms up more, I expect it to go closer to 245...

The issue fixed by lowering the car is the same issue that has resulted in endless cv/half shaft replacements for the last 10 years. I went through 3 sets of replacements myself on my P85D until I lowered the car an inch. I should say "re-lowered", because that inch lowering was just returning...

Wait, has Tesla confirmed performance numbers for the M3P?

That's what I use but also with a hockey puck on the lift so that I have no chance of touching the batter when lifting from the Tesla's lift pad.

You had to place your order before January 16th.

That's one way to curb your behavior :p

And it's easier to see out of your peripheral vision so that you don't have to ready tiny text on a screen.

They had it years ago. V8 displayed album art in in a grid and then they regressed 20 years in UI design and killed it. USB music used to display in beautiful smooth scrolling grids of album art and you could search, even by voice, and USB results would show up in the search results with the...

That's very impressive for 21s.

And how did you do the config update?

It's a very tiny weight reduction and he just managed a 9.18 after 1000 plus runs.

I predict Plaid+ soon.

Tesla assumes limited liability with each policy they underwrite. There's no upper limit if a claimed L4 vehicle causes deaths.

This would not be the first time that someone from Tesla called and gave incorrect facts.

I think this is about the only thing we agree on.

Exactly. And gap insurance is something that financing companies will force on buyers when they're doing a zero down. Nobody ever chooses to buy gap insurance since it increases the payment.

2. That's not a thing. If you have gap insurance, which costs, then you're covered, but then your paying more for financing. Your responses for 1 and 3 literally make no sense.

People don't like it when they're charged a lot more money for something they could have paid a lot less for. Sudden large price drops put a lot of folks under water on their loans increasing the odds of their car being totaled after an accident and having to write the bank a check just to pay...

I would happily pay $150K for an MSP if it came with great assembly (even at the current material quality level) and great service. Nothing competes with it for the current or even previous price.

Give it time ;)

No matter how good it gets, it will never be L4 or L5 even if it can actually drive at that level because to certify it not needing driver attention also means the manufacturer is on the hook for all liability which Tesla will NEVER assume.

Crooked, lopsided, all the way to the passenger side, bowing on the drivers side, and the seal on the front passenger side was sicking out.

Again, this has nothing to do with financing with Tesla offers in Michigan.

Not sure what you're trying to say with this link, but Tesla provides financing in Michigan: https://www.tesla.com/support/financing-your-vehicle

But they could and other manufacturers have 2 to 3% deals on the table today. Not all, but some.

So when it Tesla going to remove the "fastest accelerating car in production today" from the site? Now it could be argued the Sapphire is not yet a production car but rather a "limited production" car based on it's numbers which is technically a different category than "production car". Also...
