    Strongly considering a lease vs buy (MYP). Pros/Cons?

    Having someone else finance my Cybertruck Founders Series AWD

    Banks or finance companies consider this a straw purchase. And won’t approve such a large contract.

    Is the new Macan EV a MY killer?

    Just checked their website. No base listed as available. Built a turbo was only $132k. Goto love Porsche. Everything is an option. Didn’t check every box. Lots more. So very nice looking car. Not a Y killer haters. Try again.

    Powered retractable sunshade

    Live in Florida, as we know very hot summers. MY have not felt need to use a sun shade. And I’m 6’2 with no hair and never feel hot. Everyone’s different I guess.

    New inventory discount vs New order

    No such thing as a custom order. They build cars in batches and match you order soon as one comes up. Inventory vehicles are vehicles built without a match or vehicles someone passed on.

    Model S&X Price Adjustments

    Every car company “changes prices”. Traditional companies use rebates financing and leasing programs to lower the transaction prices which also affect retained value of vehicles. Look at the $7500 rebates on some BEVs right now.

    Tax credit 2023 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    Before. It’s the actual sales price. Google it and the web pages will give you all the facts. Never get tax advice here.

    HW4 - No Park Assist at all

    Very true. Brining up a problem without a solution is called whining! Lots of that on all these boards.

    Tesla's reason for not adding spare tires, doesn't make sense.

    Any idea how many people with spares even know how to change? And what happens on the interstate ? Very unsafe. And, Tesla isn’t the only vehicles with out spares. Industry trend for years.

    GM announces use of NACS

    If you follow the history of Ford and GM. They both follow what each other does. Never wanting to miss out. This is another example. The meetings with Mary went like this. We have to call Elon Ford did.
