    2022 Model X - Texas Driving

    The wife and I have been toying with the idea of more range, but from what I’m seeing here, we would get more, but not significantly more. We prefer to drive fast and top off when needed, versus slowing down. 40K miles in just under 2 years of ownership, so most likely will just keep the Audi...

    2022 Model X - Texas Driving

    Hello all, I currently own a 2019 Audi e-Tron and I'm starting to research my next car purchase. I've heard good things about the 2022 Model X, but wanted to hear from owners here on the forum. How do you like your Model X? I would most likely purchase the long-range model, as I've learned...

    Home Charging setup

    Reading my systems SolarEdge inverter page its rated 15.39 kWP, I generate a low of .8 MWh to a high of 2.25 MWh per month. My total production since August of 2016 is 58.35 MWh. The electric company buys my electricity at 0.064. Then they charge me .023431 to deliver the energy back to me...

    Home Charging setup

    I have solar on my house. I generate up to 75kwh, and produce over 1Mwh per month. In Texas my electric company buys my electricity at whole sale during the day and sells it to me at retail at night. Plus they charge me a monthly charge to be hooked up to the grid.

    Home Charging setup

    Thanks all. At some point I plan on getting a plug installed in my house. But, I have not been able to find a consistent electrician.

    Home Charging setup

    Hello All, I'm currently preparing to purchase a Model X Raven LR, I finally made the decision between the Performance and LR. Anyways, I do not have a home charger installed, and have a couple questions, for base knowledge to help guide me, I 1) Since the X comes free super charging, is...

    Emotional attached to the S, enough to buy over the X?

    I’ve been test driving many Tesla’s lately, as I’m researching buying one. I have 5 in the family, so I’ve decided on the 6 seat Model X. This allows for all family plus 1 in-law. Now I just have to decide what in-law I like more, Grandma vs Grandpa. Another reason for the X over the S is...

    Long range or Performance

    The problem is I test drove the performance and I’m not sure I actually utilized it to it’s potential, meaning, I didn’t specifically try to do a 0-60 launch. But, when I did push the pedal, it was great. So I want to drive the LR to see the difference. Either way, it will be the fastest car...

    Long range or Performance

    Thank you both for clarifying that. Now it’s even a tougher decision for me.

    Long range or Performance

    I’m in the process of researching the Model X as my next car. I keep going back and forth on the LR vs Performance. My questions are: 1) Does the LR have AWD or just rear wheel? 2) Is there a difference in towing package? 3) Is it true that you can get almost the 305 rated miles on the...

    Model 3 vs. Prius Touring 4

    Thank you all for the replies. I do want the M3, however, I don't want to put a deposit down on one. I would rather wait for them to come on the lot. I've driven the S and the X and they are very nice cars, but, not exactly what I want. The M3 should be the perfect size for me, as the Prius...

    Model 3 vs. Prius Touring 4

    Hello all, I tried the search function, but, nothing has turned up. I'm curious what the charging requirements are for the Model 3. I currently drive a Prius Touring 4 and I'm curious about the operating costs. For me, I can go 450 miles for about 8.5 gallons of gas. Here in Texas we are...

    Nonowners - If you don't get the full 7500 tax credit, will you get the car?

    The options for the poll are to narrow. I will buy a M3 when there is no line for one. Until then, I drive a Prius Touring 4 that averages 54.5 MPG driving 80 on the highway.

    Looking at getting a used S

    Thank you. The more I research, a CPO might be the way to go. But, time will tell!

    Looking at getting a used S

    Thank you for showing me google. Wow, what an interesting capability :-) The problem with Google is that the Red's all look different. For instance the top picture is an ugly red, while the bottom picture is very nice and I would like to have.
