    Is Model Y LR 7-seat being discontinued in Mexico?

    Yes, the third row seats (#6, #7) would be used for the children (current ages 4 - 8). My friends already tested Model Y 7-seater and verified the extended family (and with needed child seats) would fit comfortably and the the arrangement should work for next 6 years. Hopefully by end of 6...

    Is Model Y LR 7-seat being discontinued in Mexico?

    Have two friends in Mexico that I have been talking to for years about buying Teslas. Interest rates are always high in Mexico (now 12%) even if you make a large down payments. Both have been saving up for two years and are finally ready to buy. BUT BUT now the Model Y LR 7-seat is no longer...

    BEV SUVs are safer than ICE SUV due to less risk rollover & no tailpipe pollution. How much extra cost per year is this safety worth to your family?

    WSJ Live: Elon say U.S. should not have charger subsidy or EV buyer subsidy, Cybertruck, Billionaire taxes

    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    Yes, I know that. I went to U.S. schools my whole life. U.S. history and government was my top subjects. U.S. laws are introduced by House of Representatives. Today the President is of the same party. It is reasonably to assume the two groups talk to each other and there is plenty of media...

    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    Yeah, TRUTH !!! GM killed the electric car and GM has done the bare minimum and has not lead anything. Some of Elon's biggest competitors ( Ford CEO & VW CEO) acknowledge what he has done. Tesla is a U.S. company. Teslas sold in U.S. have higher U.S. content than average GM & Ford cars...
