    Did you just buy a Tesla from Hertz Car Rental?

    Hertz only reports the sale to the IRS. On my taxes next year, I'll add that credit to my return. Hertz didn't ask anything about income or whether or not we qualify. That's why the prices are listed before the credit, not everyone qualifies.

    Did you just buy a Tesla from Hertz Car Rental?

    I noticed the vehicle we wanted on a Sunday listed in inventory, and the Denver office is closed Mondays due to low staffing, so, first thing Tuesday morning I went in to ask about buying it. I did hear them tell someone on the phone that they might have better luck booking a rent to buy to...

    Did you just buy a Tesla from Hertz Car Rental?

    I just picked up a 2022 Long Range Dual Motor for $22k, before tax credit, from Hertz. It has 87k miles, but it was actually in pretty good condition. There are of course rock chips and a tiny dent in the hood, but surprisingly zero curb rash on the wheels. One annoying thing was they used very...

    Can an 8" Width Wheel be Used for the Model 3 LR

    The 'kit' is hubcentric spacers plus lug nuts. You technically don't need the lug nuts because the factory ones are the right taper seat for the aftermarket wheels, but you can see what they have to offer when you get your install done. You definitely need the hubcentric ring though. I'm going...

    Can an 8" Width Wheel be Used for the Model 3 LR

    I've got 18x9.0 +40 wheels with 265/40ZR18 Tires on my Dual Motor 3 right now. I'm getting 18x8.0 +45 wheels with 235/45R18 Winter Tires installed this week. The wide tires clear with no problems at all. The winter set up is the same rim as the summer set (Konig Rennform Flow Forged) but, the 8"...

    Colorado waiting room - M3 Performance AWD or non-Perf AWD

    I've got an MSM with a VIN of 113XXX too! It would be interesting if they were sequential. These things are awesome!

    Colorado waiting room - M3 Performance AWD or non-Perf AWD

    Got my VIN tonight by randomly checking my account (wasn't there a couple hours ago), 1130xx, but I'm still waiting on my trade evaluation. I got way lowballed by CarMax so I'm concerned on what Tesla is going to offer. Low end kbb (rough condition, which is not the case) was 26k, CarMax offered...

    Colorado waiting room - M3 Performance AWD or non-Perf AWD

    I just got the email from my DSA, Chris, asking which between the 28th and 29th works for me. Either does, so that's what I told him. This is for Delivery in Littleton, Colorado. My BDay is the 25th, so I was hoping for that day, but I'll take it as a late BDay present from Tesla. Since I don't...

    Vendor Unplugged Performance Ascension Front Fascia System

    I love the look of this bumper, and I am almost ready to put the pre-order in. 3 questions: 1. Is there a deadline for the pre-order discount? 2. How long after the fascia system is released do we have until we have to send the rest of the payment? (I would like to try to time this to be...
