    Tires are Already Bald After 14523 Miles in Less Than 2 Years and? Is this Normal?

    Another consideration is Hankook tires. They are quiet, sticky and last a long time. The Hankook tires in the pic on the left set the Word SUV 1/4 mile record back in the day and they were still looking good with 35,000+ miles when I sold the Raven X. I currently have 41, 606 miles on the OEM...

    Source for production of 1,000 Foundation Series?

    No need to apply to work at Tesla. Got my notification for a 1 April to 1 June Delivery. Hopefully, delivery won't be affected by the assembly line shut down for seven days for issues relating to accelerator lubricant. 12 hour shifts are being cut to 11 hours (day) and 10.5 hours (night)...

    Fix the damn auto wipers tesla!

    After a recent update, wipers turn themselves on when dry. Turn them to the off position and about 20 min later they turn themselves on from the OFF position, again with no rain. Anyone else? PIA and safety hazard.

    Opinion: what I think Tesla should do to "solve" FSD

    I remember getting my first Autopilot activated on my 2014 Model S. I was like a kid in a candy shop. It was awesome and so advanced. Mobileye, developed by an Israeli company. Light years ahead and then, Elon got into a contest with the owner of Mobileye, and that was the end of that party...

    Wait For Non-Foundation Series?

    You, the man. You only go around once. Why not? My friend, who owns my first 2014 Model S with 107,000 miles gets his CYBERTRUCK on Tues. Enjoy! Mine should arrive before June.

    Return policy on Cybertruck?

    Now that's a real man. Proud of you dude!

    Return policy on Cybertruck?

    Tesla has a solution, consistent with Elon's policy. They will let you return your wife.

    Wait For Non-Foundation Series?

    I am sorry. I should have been more clear in communicating.

    Wait For Non-Foundation Series?

    Sorry, I'm not talking about "Brand Loyalty", which is obviously high, or I wouldn't be on my 9th Tesla and many others wouldn't be repeat purchasers. I am referring to probably what is better stated as "reward for customer loyalty". Honoring or rewarding customers who have been loyal to the...

    Wait For Non-Foundation Series?

    That's really $27,500. with the forfeiture of the tax credit. Then, there is no guarantee that the price will remain under $80k. If there are thousands of customers willing to pay more, why reduce the price? Customer loyalty is not one of Tesla's strong suites. There is NO Public Relations...

    Wait For Non-Foundation Series?

    Sit back, relax, and wait at least two years. And don't forget to cringe every time you see a CT on the street.

    Official Foundation Series Dual Motor Waiting room

    Conceivably, Musk could walk through the entire list of reservations, offering the FOUNDATION SERIES to all before even considering offering the dual motor AWD version. I guess the pure business decision would be to do that. The additional items offered with the FOUNDATION Series cost Tesla...

    Official Foundation Series Dual Motor Waiting room

    Essentially, adding in the missed tax credit, The Foundation Series is $27,500 more than the Non-Foundation CYBRTRK. If we are paying that much more, I suspect that the cost of operation is a rather moot issue. That is kind of like complaining about gas mileage on a Ferarri. There are quite...

    Cybertruck "Foundation series" is a fantastic exercise in economics! ... and PROFITable

    I totally agree. They have to make up for that decrease in overhead on other models somehow. I was shocked to see the excess S,Y and X inventory sitting on lots. Check the op line inventory. Wow! Some new vehicles with $2780 discounts. My friend just got 2000 Ultra Red and $1500 wheels for $300...
