If you're in a position to take advantage of the tax advantages this is an absurdly good deal

Well if it's configured correctly I'm stumped - it just seemed really odd to me that it woul dbe displaying the exact rating you get with 22's

Yeah I'm saying the car may be configured wrong in the submenus

This is actually far more annoying than the back doors. Which are also annoying. Until you need shade/to stand up while doing something in the back seat, or load something really awkward/long into the back, then they're awesome Also annoying is the total lack of proper weather sealing around...

If it's on 22" wheels it doesn't have 335 miles of EPA range. It has 322 miles of estimated range when new. Which is the best it will ever be, and will go down over time, which is in all of the information in the manual if you read it. Unless they've changed something, you can make a new X...

If you can get everyone on board with the weirdness, it's an incredibly good tool for the job. Flexible, large inside but midsize (under 200" long) outside, with access to home charging it's a really compelling product when you look at what you can get for the price. The doors are really...

Yes

I did a ~320 mile round-trip road trip yesterday in ~35 degree temps in my 3.5 year old, 45,000 mile, worth $10 and a bag of chips Model X. I had to stop for 10 minutes on the way back from my destination. Barely had time to finish lunch in the car What a POS

I'm sure a more elegant solution could be fabricated but I keep just using a chunk of card stock lol

Doors

I loved the way Taycan drove and hated getting in and out of it, and I'm not very big. If you can origami yourself in and out of one, they're a great option IMO as is the Etron GT now that used ones are semi-reasonable. Even the Etron SUV/Q8Etron is a great package, so long as you don't need...

My late-2020 build LR+ peaked at 375 miles of "dashboard" range at 100%, when it had around 7000 miles on it (factory rating of 371, lol yeah right). It's down to 347-348 on the dash now. Basically useless now can barely get to work :D

Exactly. You'll still get reduced regen even without an alert on the dash. I believe these cars will do up to 100kw? I stop seeing the regen reduced dashed line when it will get to the 50kw mark

I always recommend my dogs sit or lay down in the car rather than stand, I keep handing them a safety card like they have on airplanes with pictographs to explain how not to die, but they keep eating it

They've been taught now You tend to learn one way or another, self/mentor-taught or universe-taught

If there are people at Tesla doing AAR's they certainly aren't doing it across the board and/or with any input from customers. autowipers team I'm looking at you But I think the charging team is probably the most successful of everyone - it's the one aspect of the brand people actually seem to...

With wider adoption, it has become clear that the average EV owner is about as good at understanding their vehicle and its needs as the average car owner was before wider EV adoption I bet I could have sold a lot of blinker fluid up there last weekend

I'm not talking about mods, I'm talking about why some cars ride better than others, and why that's not just because air suspension. You can set your watch to people showing up in every "which car" thread chirping about how if only Model 3 had air suspension it would ride well enough to be a...

Victims of the seven p's

Model 3's ride isn't worse because it doesn't have air suspension - it has low-cost, lower-quality, non-adaptive dampers, specified and priced so that they'll be "good enough" for a car that sells almost half a million units per year. And then they make you jack the air pressure in the tires up...

Did you start it from dead cold without preheating? I've noticed occasionally in winter (on my 4th winter with this thing) if I haven't preheated I'll only get about 40kw of regen, which isn't enough on a steep grade, until the battery is all the way warm, and the car won't necessarily tell...

many of my cars have been driven like they were stolen from a rental company for some of their lives, and have a combined close to a million miles over many different kinds of vehicles, and none of them has caught fire or stranded me Send it

I say go for it. Worst case, you have to fix it out of warranty. That's a pretty good worst case, and it's the case that I have been driving almost all of my fancy expensive (when new) used cars in for almost all of my life The warranty period isn't a magic forcefield that prevents failures...

Still 35 miles north of the real world range but whatever, closer to real now

Can't have a new X with vertical screen and hand controls at any price, lol Thanks for posting

Same here - for my own personal use I loved the 3 RWD, did not like either trim of Y I drove, and liked the S/X more than either as a family vehicle, as did the family. But I don't want another one after living with one for 3 years, and neither does the family. It's fine, and we use it a lot...

That's pretty reasonable for a brake job on a set of brakes of this size/fixed calipers with labor included. DIY would probably cut the cost in half. If there are pad wear sensors, those are probably $20 or so and if they're not tripped yet can be reused assuming they don't fall apart during...

Shame too, because I love it otherwise. Was hoping maybe the roofline was different enough on the wagon, but nope, same problem. Bonk. And I'm not even that big

I knew I didn't want a Taycan as soon as I tried to sit down in one and bonked my head. How did they manage to make a car that big that small

I have a biased opinion because I bought my X when it was $80k base in fall of 2020 and not $800k base or whatever the hell it was in 2022 lol and now I can say I have the only vehicle that has both been used to transport astronauts to the launchpad AND named after the re-animated corpse of a...

At the original price, it looked hella scammy - but I also don't blame tesla for capturing the "Dealer markup" profits for itself. Go for it if you can get it! And that's coming from somebody who recognizes how nuts it is that the *slow* version of the Model S runs 10.9's in the 1/4 and would...

Plaid is coming up on 3 years old. - circa 40% depreciation in 3 years and ~30,000 miles of driving for an American luxury car that isn't some sort of super-bespoke limited edition, and Plaid definitely is not that, used to be pretty standard. This isn't just EV's either, all the fancy stuff is...

Everybody who wants one, has one

I don't know about a 3500lb 993, maybe with three of your closest, most-foldable friends in it - but at least you can have a 6-pack of SR+'s for the cost of one reasonably good condition non-turbo 993 lol But I agree about the dynamics of the original SR+. It's what ultimately sold me on Tesla...

is that an AI-generated post? jeez

On my pre-refresh X (which uses the same steering rack I believe, unless they've changed things since this summer to see if they'd changed parts from legacy to palladium cars) this code was happening intermittently and ended up being a failed steering rack, replaced under warranty (which on my...

I would too - but I'm not an uber driver

Charger congestion is also Tesla’s fault selling cars with *insert period of time* FUSC. We all thought that was over and then it keeps happening. Wonder how many cars they sell in Q4 or at the end of any quarter with FUSC perk kicked in…it has to be a lot But we have plenty in STL - it’s...

Preach

Fog lamps don't have to be separate lamps - plenty of vehicles have a fog lamp integrated in the main headlamp assembly, some Porsches, old VW's, Mercs etc. If it's done right, which there's no guarantee Tesla does anything right The extra inch is 100% bumper covers. Looks like interior...

Yes - if you're on the highway for sure. I think towing at city speeds has its own set of risks, but moment arm and mechanical advantage the trailer has over the car are the big ones there, and of course, you might be more likely to bend your frame in any evasive maneuvers above the weight...

eek a ghost :lol:

The fun police are everywhere, beware Uhaul car hauler is Circa 2200lb. That year of Dakota without a drivetrain, probably 3000 or so So clearly you have died and are a ghost, because model X is only rated at 3500 on the 22’s, and so you died from towing that load Happy Halloween

Yes, they were at one time or another available in black, gray, silver with dark inserts, and silver

Maybe Tesla would consider upgrading its hand controls to include some sort of lever to shift and/or operate wipers and turn signals to better compete with 3-rows from other companies, maybe as part of an option package or subscription? Dunno just thinking of things to try, don't even know what...

If both are in budget and can both do what you need a car to physically be able to do, which one do you like driving better? Buy that one. The rest is just noise.

If the sentence you're about to say/post starts with the word actually (or includes it in a contrary context), I urge you to rephrase and/or consider deleting your comment/account, lol

I know more useless facts than you and therefore I win the internet
