    Anyone receive their $7500 check yet from Elon's own end of year Model S rebate?

    I'm still waiting on mine. Took delivery of a 2023 MX on 12/30, the day they said they'd provide a $7500 credit. Anonymous person from Tesla who responds to text messages indicated that all deliveries of MX made on 12/30 and 12/31 would be receiving a check.

    Inventory of 4680 Model Y's

    FYI, the MY now qualifies for price ceiling of $80,000.00. I'd expect Elon to start to raise the prices above the $55,000 line.

    Discussion: Model 3 and Y price drop Jan 2023 / April 2023 / Oct 2023 and All other Pricing Speculation going forward

    I have a feeling that if pricing changed on the day you took delivery, you may get a surprise back from Tesla. Those of us who took delivery during the final week of 2022 will probably not be so lucky.

    Discussion: Model 3 and Y price drop Jan 2023 / April 2023 / Oct 2023 and All other Pricing Speculation going forward

    Honestly, this has nothing to do with Biden and Tesla. The cap for getting "up to" $7,500 in a tax credit is a purchase price of $55,000. The cost of nearly every Tesla was in excess of this amount until today's price drop. Elon has just pulled the trigger on what he said he'd be focusing on...

    12v battery must be replaced soon

    Received the warning yesterday - out of the blue - to replace the 12V soon. Earliest I can get in to the Tampa Service Center is mid-September. Car was delivered March 2018 and has a VIN within the first 5000 made. Other than the ac smell, this is the first issue we've had with it (17,000...

    Matching Campers

    We have a 23' Airstream which we currently tow with a BMW X5 Diesel. I'm not sure why you are saying they are not aerodynamic, as I'm able to get over 17 mpg while towing at highway speeds. The Safari Condo ALTO is nice, but small. Only reason to get one is if you don't really have tow capacity...

    New screen UI in Cybertruck

    I realize that I'm late to this discussion, but would like to put in my $.02 regarding HUD. We had a Model S85 (lease) until 2 years ago. This put us in line for an early Model 3, right after our lease expired, which is my wife's car. We both love the Model 3 and I swear, it's even better than...

    Towing may require differing regenerative braking profile.

    I'd love to see TESLA launch some videos of CyberTruck pulling an 8000 lb Airstream from Ouray, Colorado to Durango, similar to the cross country runs they did 6 years ago. THAT would get some heads turning, and give those of us who do tow some additional insights into capability.

    Cybertruck and superchargers

    Thanks, Sparcs. With the thousands of SC locations, that's still only a handful of places which could be tow-friendly. I admit that I should have used the "search" function. The CyberTruck could be a real disrupter to the pickup market. I know Elon wants to make this work, so I can see a...

    Towing with Cybertruck

    Thanks, Ohmman. My wife and I have been saying since we got our first Model S a bit over 5 years ago, that truck stops would be the perfect partner for supercharging stations. I'm seeing more and more SC's located behind new Wawa's here in Florida - so clearly you can conclude that there is some...

    Towing with Cybertruck

    Where and how do you charge while on the road and towing?

    Cybertruck and superchargers

    Unhitching from the tow vehicle every few hours to load up on electrons is not only inconvenient, but impractical. It will be a deal killer for those of us who have things to tow.

    Cybertruck and superchargers

    This is the real question, I think, for anyone who wants a cybertruck for the purpose of towing. While it may have a ridiculous tow capacity of up to 14,000 lbs, at what range? And I have yet to see a SC with a pull-thru ability for towing. While I trust Tesla will think this through over the...

    Supercharger - Clearwater, FL (V3)

    Just stopped by at lunch and it looks to be about the same as from last week. I agree that this location is going to be heavily "iced", especially during the lunch hour as Chic-fil-a seems to be under parked and there are limited ingress/egress points. At the same time, it's nice to see a SC...

    New Tesla Solar Owner

    Dear Dr., start to finish was 6 months for me in Florida. I think installation varies a great deal by location, as permitting authorities can cause great delays (as well as power providers). My sales rep told me 6 months when we first started, so that I wouldn't have any illusions.
