I’ve had similar defrost questions. My car is also a 2023 Long Range Model Y. After watching YouTube videos on model y defrost and reading in the online Model Y manual, I do not not see a control setting that allows for airflow to be directed to the floor when selecting defrost setting #17...

chdlmc, thank you for this. I actually read that thread, as well as a number of other Model Y / 18 inch wheel discussions. My preference would be 18" M3 Aero wheels, but I've been unable to source used locally. I have a message in to my local Tesla store asking for price on a set of new 18"...

Hello. I'm in the process of sourcing snow wheels and tires for my 2023 Model Y LR. A local tire shop has proposed Vision Boost 18 x 8 et38 wheels - 1900 lb. load capacity. Are there problems / issues I should be aware of that would make this wheel an unacceptable choice?

Thank you to all who weighed in with your great responses. Long story short - no, we did not reject the car, we took delivery yesterday. When I say we, I mean myself and my wife. The car is for the two of us. I was grateful to have her participation and interest in the decision making...

Today at 11 a.m. I went to my local Tesla store to inspect the Model Y Long Range (Fremont build) assigned to me. I used a checklist that I found on this forum, and my wife helped me go through it. Flaws noted: Visible chip on leading edge of the hood. Debris (nib?) in paint on leading edge...

Hi kpanda17. Will you please provide the manufacturer and possible sourcing options for the white (plastic?) hanger and cord pass-through pictured in your post?

Thank you all for your thoughtful input. Apologies for not posting sooner - it's been quite a week. Long story short, after test driving a Model Y again (first time was back in Feb. 2023), we pulled the plug on the Model 3 RWD. I find the current Model 3 discount pricing extremely compelling...

Lindenwood, thanks for your reply. You prompted me to research ground clearance, and I found the 2002 Jetta listed at 5.2 inches, the 20213 Leaf listed at 6.3 inches, and the 2023 Model 3 listed at 5.5 inches. Are you joking about the 27" tire suggestion, or is that a typo?

Hello all. Because of the affordability, I've been seriously considering a discounted Model 3 RWD. I live in eastern Washington, where we average about 45 inches of snow annually, with heavy snowfall years maybe double that amount. I'm currently driving a Leaf with Blizzaks for winter...

Hi. Questions: 1. Where do the "Inventory" cars come from? I believe I read somewhere that they are cars that have been ordered and and shipped, then the purchaser declines to purchase, perhaps to move in a different purchasing direction or perhaps the car is rejected because of quality...

Without taking a day off, reserving online was my best option. I was able to secure my reservation about 7:40 p.m. Thursday night. When Elon came on stage at 8:30 p.m., he said reservations were up to ~ 115,000, so I figure I'm probably somewhere near 115,000 + / -. My whole goal for signing...

The chart ends in 2005 - what has the trajectory been over the last 8 - 9 years?

Hello Gene and all. Who are the 4 inverter suppliers mentioned in the quote above?

Hi Norse, So if I understand you correctly, the "Norwegian sales guy" is a Tesla employee? And is essentially disseminating The type of inaccurate information that Tesla has fought such an uphill battle to correct? And he's speaking to movers, shakers and decision makers that impact policy...

...and this will presumably pass, yes? CO, can't thank you enough for all your updates. Wondering when you sleep.

So far, the DJIA is pretty flat and the NASDAQ down ~ 25 points. This doesn't seem to be the pain sleepy envisioned necessary to make the 3 ring circus in D.C. come to the adult table.

Latest KNDI analysis by Arthur Porcari after his recent trip to China: http://seekingalpha.com/article/1734212-does-kandi-hold-chinas-solution-to-an-impending-consumer-mobility-crisis?source=email_rt_article_readmore

Hello Words of HABIT. Thank you for this post, and for this perspective. In trying to stay current on Tesla and TSLA, I have been subscribed to both this thread and the Short Term investment thread. There is a lot of excitement on the short term thread. It is fascinating to watch the tactics...

Kevin, thanks for the reply, and an update on your recent activities. I'll look forward to more investnaire.com postings, and I am also anticipating some interesting posts from Arthur Porcari regarding his KNDI fact finding trip to China. You are right...the KNDI bulls and bears really do get...

Hi mulder1231. Good question. Thankfully, this account is a non-taxable (Roth) retirement account. I'm currently trading with Scottrade @ $7.00/trade, so the 4 trades (1 sell, 3 buys) cost me $28. And as I said in the original post, I didn't go all in @ $169.98 because the possibility of the...

Hello all. I've got a question - actually several. I'm trying to review the past week and use it as a learning opportunity. Background info.: I followed the news of the Baird revision, then the video of the incident (not going to write f***!). Recently, I had been trying to protect on...

Please explain.

Hello. First post on this thread. Been mostly following Short term and Long Term investment threads, and speculation on Gen. III. I have recently had a chance to watch the day by day, blow by blow action on the Short term thread, where a lot of attention is devoted to options. I have a...

Well, somebody jumped in big time after hours. This is a screen shot I took of NASDAQ after hours this afternoon.

Hello Sunnyday. I'm tempted to follow your lead. Do you see no downside to the govt. shutdown / debt ceiling volatility, or at least to the degree that it affects TSLA?

Better yet, how 'bout 5 gold stars for Bonnie! Either because IV has gone down? (doesn't seem likely), or ?? GS ??, or the other GS (Government Shenanigans)? Thanks for this, very interesting insights. If mods don't move it, you might consider posting on the Government Shutdown...

Hello Norse, I've been following the solar investment thread (purchased common stock in CSIQ after reading sleepy's investnaire link - I don't have options capability at this time) as well as the TSLA short term investors thread, and I appreciate your take on investing in general. I picked up...

Short piece about the KIA Soul EV on Insideevs can be found here: http://insideevs.com/kia-confirms-soul-ev-to-launch-in-us-in-2014/ Small quote from the article: "We’ll present our educated guess by saying that this Soul EV will retail for ~$30,000 and offer a range comparable to the...

This is exactly what I currently have in place. I was just on a two week vacation, and then had a surgery that put me out of commission for a week +. Lastly, and I'm almost ashamed to admit it to this forum (pause to don flame suit), I do not currently have an internet access smart...

Well, that is seriously unfortunate. While listening to the video, I heard the voice over mention "batteries" on board, and thought maybe that's why you posted this. After re-reading your post, I realized you said there were Model S's on this train. Norse, where did you hear that there were...

If these are isolated incidents, then I suppose statistically there will be some issues in even the best manufacturing processes. It does make one wonder how thorough the ready to ship inspection and test drive was on your friend's new deliveries, and how strictly it was adhered to if there is...

This would be significant if verified. My recollection is Elon Musk said 2017 as recently as Q2 earnings, but my recollection could be faulty.

Wow, slow night on the Short Term Investment Thread. One of the primary features of "Eco" in the Leaf is a more aggressive brake regen setting than the "Drive" mode. I believe the Model S also has two brake settings for varied levels of regen as well, "Low" & "Standard". So while the...

Signed... and posted a thread with the petition link on the My Nissan Leaf Forum: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13436

Why so hard on the Leaf? I leased a 2012 in Dec '12, and went to the gas station to buy gas for the first time since then today...to buy gas for the lawn mower! I aspire to Gen III ownership some day, but the S is more car in dollars and size than I prefer. In the meantime, the Leaf serves a...

I'm in Spokane, can I have a ride?:smile:

I don't know how many, but you can count me in this category. My current 2012 Leaf lease expires in Dec. 2014, and I've been watching the Gen. III speculation threads with great interest hoping that my lease end might line up with Gen. III availability. My wife and I combined have enough tax...
