    Further discussion and analysis on why the yoke is not good

    He's a broken record. He put up his P100D for sale in an old post and not sure if he sold it or not, but he doesn't even have a Tesla if it was sold. The S and X are selling and people are getting accustomed to the yoke. Only the haters post and they choose to be so dramatic. OMG, I was...

    Tesla Model S Plaid 2021 $41K off on Tesla Used Inventory

    I don't buy cars based on long-term value. If I wanted to buy something that holds value, it would be a GT3RS, GT2, or any limited edition runs of an iconic brand. Enjoy the car and consider it an expense. I change cars every 4-5 years and I live with the fact that I will lose money...

    Tesla Model S Plaid 2021 $41K off on Tesla Used Inventory

    8000 miles on my car and will be 1 year old this September end. I'm not sure what vibration everyone is talking about. The ride has been flawless at all speeds and maybe the vibration you feel is lane breach warning. I feel a vibration when I'm close or meander across lane lines.

    Tesla Model S Plaid 2021 $41K off on Tesla Used Inventory

    Supply has met demand and you can get an MSP today with little to no wait. Prices have also gone up since 2021. Configured the same spec today and MSRP vs. MSRP has gone up about $20k. On September 15, expect $3k more with the increase in FSD. You also didn't mention miles. So depreciation...

    2022 S LR - Constant Autopilot Safety/Convenience Features Unavailable Error

    Same with mines, $0. Just be aware that the car will have to be driven up to 50 miles until the cameras and radar all recalibrate. It can happen sooner, but they had to drive my car approximately 50 miles. It probably calibrated sooner, but they had to drive the car back to the shop.

    2022 S LR - Constant Autopilot Safety/Convenience Features Unavailable Error

    I had the same issue with my 2021 MSP that was fixed through radar unit replacement. I didn’t have the same error but couldn’t engage autopilot and shows no cars or pedestrians and just lane lines. Radar replacement and camera calibration fixed it.

    Lucid Air Grand Touring vs Tesla Model S Plaid.

    I saw a burgundy Lucid this past weekend and it looks nice, but not something I can't see myself driving. The same way I prefer BMW over Mercedes, there's a more youthful and sporty look to most BMW's compared to the more conservative poshness of a Mercedes. Tesla is the more youthful and the...

    Model S Plaid problems?

    Oh I just remembered an issue while driving from SF to Las Vegas. After every supercharging, and when you start driving, it will say that your sensors are blocked or obstructed and will eventually go away. Not sure what the issue is, but seems like a jolt of electricity to the car triggers a...

    Model S Plaid huge depreciation

    This is another reason why Lucid may not be successful is because they need a volume seller. They lowered their delivery numbers from 12k to 6k cars this year but they've only delivered 1k cars so far. Not sure how they are going to make up the remaining 5k. They have 37k orders in the backlog...

    Model S Plaid huge depreciation

    I'd love to see more detail on this comparison, but some of the older cars may have FSD or transferrable unlimited supercharging or who knows. Are you looking at these used base model 3 in the same zip code / area as you?

    Model S Plaid huge depreciation

    Nesconset NY vs Miami, FL are two different markets. You will see this if you just scan for similar cars on auto trader across locations.

    Model S Plaid huge depreciation

    Model X is still in short supply and there is a wait. Model S Plaid supply has caught up with demand. LR models is what the average EV buyer prioritizes on. No one needs a Plaid and only wants it. It's a luxury and not a necessity. This is the reason why expensive cars depreciate a lot faster...

    Model S Plaid problems?

    You just got unlucky. Go to the Lucid owners forum and having a Tesla will make you feel better.

    Model S Plaid problems?

    Don't. People come to the forums to complain and the other 90% who are happy don't. I haven't had any major issues other than weird software glitches where it took me offline from the mothership, but a quick visit to the service center resolved it.

    Model S Plaid huge depreciation

    This is only true for the Model S and I'm not surprised. Model 3 and Y are both still in high demand with a huge backlog of orders. $120k+ cars is not a high volume seller and after the first wave of affluent buyers, demand will eventually taper off. This is the reason why Giga Berlin, Austin...
