ev919 Just do it, dam you Tesla indeed. They got me to buy 4 of their cars without doing anything, I just keep talking myself into them. lol. -ThinkMac-

LR is the logical and sensible choice. Plaid is another matter all its own. Like others have said, if you're asking the question, then just go Plaid. Otherwise, for the next 4 years, you'll be always asking yourself, maybe I should have. Or if you see one driving around, you go... hmmmmm...

I have an appointment this Friday for the same turn signal issue after replacing yoke with wheel last year. Confirmed that they have wheel with horn in stock. -ThinkMac-

paint can't come with clear coat in it, it's a separate application if you want a clear coat on top. Touch up paints are usually for small spots, so you probably don't need a clear coat (at least in my case when I use it). -ThinkMac-

If for business. Go for the one with highest sales price. you maximized your write-off amount, if you are profitable to cover the write-off. -ThinkMac-

after 6 months of driving it, your wife will never want to drive ICE cars again. The 6 seat config is great for kids. they can run back to the 3rd row easily. depending on their age, they can almost walk into 3rd row. When my kids were young, they love sitting in the 3rd row, they feel far...

if fully depreciated. should be no re-capture. you can set your depreciation schedule. consult your CPA. again, I'm no tax expert. -ThinkMac-

you can take as much as 179 bonus as your business allows. I believe bonus is $1MM per year. haven't read up in the last couple of years on this. With the accelerated depreciation. technically you can write the whole car in 1 year, but I would imagine that would raise some flags. But as a...

5-seater does not haver an extra AC unit for rear air. they share the blower from the front. I remember reading about this a while back when I was deciding on 5 or 7 for my '22 pre-facelift. The 6 seater has the advantage of the middle row for access to the 3rd row, with the extra spacing...

yes on all accounts. I'm on my 3rd X through 179. Bought under my name, and use it for business. single member LLC. however, my tax credit was pre IRA, so not sure if there's any changes in IRA that might change this. my last X was bought in 2022 before IRA went into effect. Have taken...

seems people keep asking. can you just post the cost? or are they different prices for different people? Is there a forum rule against this? just wondering. Was this ordered from Tesla and EAS do the work? I remember seeing an email from Tesla that says red calipers is now an available...

Wait. Is this a grey market car? How is it not paired with a key from the factory? You get 2 RFID cards from factory. You can pair new physical keys or add virtual mobile device keys with the RFID card, as far as I know, this is only way to add NEW keys. Or Tesla can set up new RFID cards...

how are they able to a new key without your RFID key? that might be some serious flaw from Tesla if thieves can just add new keys without the original RFID card, I thought that was the safety measure. -ThinkMac-

Are the laws different in Bulgaria? Can't the police get a subpoena and force Tesla to use geo location? Or thieves take out SIM card and kill LTE connection to car? While it's being transported to another country or take apart for parts. I think law enforcement should/will be able to force...

I get about 230 miles real world in my Plaid. But when doing roadtrips. I'm hanging around 80+ mph thought. My 1st supercharger is 180 miles away. I charge full. Shows 310 I think. When I get to Supercharger, I usually about 50 miles left on the guesstimator. Plaid with 22" summer tires...
