    model S lease return nightmare

    @Destiny1701 the paint part is the most insane part of the whole thing to me. He did not notice/mention anything about the part during the inspection. He wrote me an email that night saying even though he did not notice anything on the spot, he noticed the paint issue from the picture he was...

    model S lease return nightmare

    @Nosken That was my original plan. For my 2017 Tesla model S with 45K mi, the residual(buy-out quote) they gave me is very high, $45K. I got a few quotes(shifts/vroom/carmax) from $40K to $45K. I am fine with getting $45K(basically no gain), however, the offer is valid only for 7 days. I would...

    model S lease return nightmare

    After waiting for almost 2 years, I finally got my new model S last month, so I started my old model S lease return when I was informed abut my new model S delivery. After waiting for more than 3 weeks, I finally got my lease return inspection yesterday. The inspector charged me almost 4K for...

    2022 X tint percent

    @DCGOO it is very good point. I finally decided to have both frontal and back bumper wrapped. After I signed everything, and turned in the key, and drove off with my ride. I saw someone(one of their previous customers) gestured to ask us not to do it, I guess they have very bad experience...

    2022 X tint percent

    I am considering our XPEL wraps film on the full frontal, the lowest quote I got is $2225. I am wondering whether it is worth it? I am also considering wrap the back bumper as well, but they quoted me $700. I am not sure it is worthwhile, It is much more expensive than the window tint, which...

    should I lease or purchase when I have chance to buy new Model S at 20K discount?

    thank you all for your insights, I did buy instead of lease eventually. good thing about owning it is that I can consider tinting the windows, which I did not do to my last one because of the lease.

    should I lease or purchase when I have chance to buy new Model S at 20K discount?

    I pre-ordered a new Tesla Model S two years ago, after two years of waiting, I finally got delivery notice, I was told that they still honor the old price, saving about $20K compared to if they release the car to someone else who order today. My total payment is about $88K including...

    rear facing car seat: compared to model S, does the model X offer more leg room for the toddler in a rear-facing car seat?

    Hello, I currently lease a model S, Iike driving it. I am debating whether to get a model S or X when my current lease is up. The only reason I am considering model X is: since model X is a bigger car, maybe model X has more leg room for my toddler in a rear-facing carseat in the 2nd row? We...

    can base model display cars in adjacent lanes in 17" dash screen or it only comes with EAP?

    @d21mike amazing video, thanks for the link! I was told this morning that standard Tesla leverages one camera on the back, while EAP can make use of three cameras in the front of the car as well, and none of side cameras are being used in EAP now. It does look like this way in the video, where...

    can base model display cars in adjacent lanes in 17" dash screen or it only comes with EAP?

    @d21mike, when I stopped by Tesla dealership earlier this morning, they showed me that when I put the blinker on, it generated the yellow or red flash signal of cars in the lane I am changing in to, and the color depends on how close the other car to me. Is this what you referred to by "If you...

    can base model display cars in adjacent lanes in 17" dash screen or it only comes with EAP?

    . btw, do you know why this feature was removed in newer version of AP system? Of all the AP features demonstrated to me, I like this one the best.

    can base model display cars in adjacent lanes in 17" dash screen or it only comes with EAP?

    ah, I see, that is a bummer, so even with EAP, I won't get this feature with the new Tesla I am going to get.

    can base model display cars in adjacent lanes in 17" dash screen or it only comes with EAP?

    "Not sure what you mean by you saw the surrounding cars", I meant the car in the lane next to me, not behind my car. We are shoulder to shoulder, so this car could be in my blind spot if I use side mirror.. this could be very useful before changing lanes

    can base model display cars in adjacent lanes in 17" dash screen or it only comes with EAP?

    While configuring a new model-S, I am debating whether to get EAP(enhanced auto-pilot) option now. I do not need auto-pilot feature. I actually felt nervous when setting the car in auto-pilot mode in the test drive. However, I do like its camera features. When I test drove a model-S, I can see...
