    FSD now $8,000. Who's buying?

    Mercedes Benz EV have the highest depreciation value of all EV brands LOL Now I don't hate Mercedes, I've owned two over the years. I think they stop being Mercedes around 2010. This short read on Rolex imo applies to Mercedes also except Mercedes hasn't quite found its way home; they are still...

    FSD now $8,000. Who's buying?

    It's shocking how Elon has not just seemingly ignored Tesla and let the competition catch up and in some cases pass them. The only thing Elon has left in his pocket is FSD. At some point he will need to give it away free.. my guess is within the next 3 years. I don't see Tesla making any major...

    FSD now $8,000. Who's buying?

    Your math makes no sense. reducing the price by 10x and increasing the user base by 80% is lots of money. Additionally he can then make small annual price increases just like Netflix and Amazon Prime. Have only 20% of the user base at 10x the cost is still unrealized gains. You assume a person...

    Tesla FSD now $8k

    Elon is leaving millions of dollars on the table by not lowering the price to a level the 80% will buy into, like $19.99/month. I'd be interested in seeing the stats on how many Tesla owners have bought or are current subscribers to FSD versus total amount of Tesla owners.

    Tesla buying/delivery experience Florida

    LAW® 553 Retail Installment Sale Contract is widely used by financial institutions and nearly every franchise dealership. This contract covers vehicle sales and financing. The specific clause you mentioned is only asking you to confirm the dealer informed you whether the vehicle is new, used...

    FSD now $8,000. Who's buying?

    FSD is now selling for $8K, but it looks like a bad deal. Really, really, really bad deal LOL You can subscribe to FSD for $99/month, and it would take 8 years to reach $8000 total spend. Considering Tesla does not allow you to transfer FSD to a new vehicle except under limited promotions that...

    Did Porsche miss the mark with Macan EV 4 line?

    The Macan 4 has a 0-60 mph rating of 4.9 seconds and top speed of 136 mph so the MYLR is the quicker and faster vehicle of the pair and at comes in at half the price before tax credits and other incentives. Porsche's production will likely be low the first year anyway so the Macan 4 will likely...

    I got a Ultra Red MYP for 49,680 last month shortly after I made my post :D I'm glad I acted. Loving the MYP and very happy with the price I got it at.

    My experience with ordering and delivery (a positive review)

    No need to clay again and if you do a spray on every 3 months you won't need to do another base coat. Make sure not to apply excess product or it can have a negative effect called high spots. You only need one spray a panel and rinse with water to spread the chemical across the panel. Each spray...

    My experience with ordering and delivery (a positive review)

    I did a lot of research on high end ceramic coatings like Geyeon etc as well as hybrid spray ons. It is true a high-grade pure ceramic/graphene will be more durable and last for years versus months; however, they still require annual maintenance. Most pro shops will include that for 2 to 3 years...

    Order before March 1 or wait until end of Q1

    This is my second Tesla. I shopped around and the competition did not sway me from the Y. I didn't see the Macan or Prologue in person, but I know Porsche is grossly overpriced right now, reminds me of Tesla in 2022, and Honda has already confirmed they are separating from GM so no thanks on...

    Order before March 1 or wait until end of Q1

    You can bank dealers will be charging a premium for the Prologue and I'm sure Porsche Macan EV will also sell out. It will be interesting to see how Tesla fares in 3 to 4 years from now.. Honda, Porsche, Hyndai will all be in the game and not to mention the possible arrival of BYD on American...

    The Prologue will be eligible for the full $7500, it's a Honda stylized & tuned version of the Chevy Blazer EV. The Macan is not on the eligibility list. https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/tax2023.shtml
