    Refinance my Tesla loan on a business-titled Model X? Who is offering the best rates?

    Are you sure they finance business-titled loans? I've been with DCU as well for nearly 20yrs now.. they are awesome. However, they don't do business-titled loans, apparently. They were the first ones I checked with in December last year.

    Refinance my Tesla loan on a business-titled Model X? Who is offering the best rates?

    All: My 2018 Model X was bought in my company's name, and financed by Tesla via US Bank at 4%, I want to refinance the loan given the current lower rates. Any pointers on which bank/credit union would offer a refinance loan on a business-titled Tesla with the best rate? I am in the Bay Area, FYI.

    High-Power Audio Systems

    Wattage != SPL, i.e. more watts doesn't automatically equal higher loudness or Sound Pressure Level (SPL). Higher powered audio systems when used with high efficiency speakers will result in an audio system that can play louder and cleaner without distortion, given a lower powered audio system.

    Model X with child in drivers seat allegedly injures woman

    Having the car for just a few days is not a good enough excuse, IMHO. There are ENOUGH safeguards built in, contrary to the woman's claim - and it's not a great excuse to say that she had not gotten around to spend the time to learn and enable them yet. No other car delivery I had been through...

    Model X with child in drivers seat allegedly injures woman

    Sorry that the lady suffered a premature delivery, and happy that it wasn't worse - but her case should be pretty much dismissed straight-out. She claims that Tesla didn't build in ENOUGH security precautions to have prevented this issue. If she had a playful two year old that loves getting...

    Suspension creaking noise front right?

    I *sugar* you not.. I took my Dec 2018 MX to the SC yesterday about this very issue. They did a test drive with me and tried to dismiss it as "just a Model X thing".. and not covered under warranty. The tech was saying that it was mostly body flex causing some brushing of surfaces, which apparently...

    California DMV - Plates & HOV Stickers

    @JPP Thanks a lot mate! A small correction to your post, which you can hopefully edit. I called the 916-657-9035 number, which got immediately answered (~4:58pm) by an employee who said that they don't have the status information. I was directed instead to contact 916-657-8035, the field...

    California DMV - Plates & HOV Stickers

    Could you share what number you called to check the status of your application? We're almost at the end of March, and they haven't even cashed my check. This is beyond frustrating.

    I smell BS.. they received my application Feb 8th. They haven't cashed my check yet.

    Anyone got their CA "purple" stickers yet?

    I wonder if there's a class action lawsuit to be filled against the DMV for burning up two months of the new stickers' validity period due to their inefficient processing. It won't be that bad if they gave a fixed duration for the stickers, but they are inconveniencing their customers with these...

    My 2018 MX 75D - Issues at delivery

    Thanks to all who replied with your thoughts. I guess the one picture of the driver-side door showing the sticker behind it was misleading to many here. The comments made me go over to the car again and look for the gap, which thankfully doesn't exist now. I must have had the driver's side door...

    Model X IRS 100% Deduction “Hummer Loophole” - 2018 Edition

    That's weird. I bought my MX 75D in December 2018, with a loan from US Bank (through Tesla Finance, of course) - with the vehicle titled to my corp. Did you go directly to US Bank for them to deny the loan?

    Phantom Biker in Rain

    I can confirm the phantom biker as well, but this time, driving out of my garage into a slight drizzle. Don't think this happened before in dry conditions.

    Wake up!

    Saw it this morning.. and was immediately skeptical of the story being a prank or FUD dropping the day before the Tesla earnings call.
