I'm both a tech guy and car enthusiast. Previous toys included Corvette, Dodge Viper, Audi A8, and Nissan GTR. Then I drove a model S. Will never look back. I took delivery 11/23/18 and I already have over 30K miles on it! 15 months in and I'm still looking for any excuse to run errands, take...

No offense taken because I’m not that stupid. I bought the Audi A8 used with only 24K miles and saved $60,000!! My comparison was in response to complaints from the previous poster that the Model S declined in value faster than BMW, MB and Audi. I was just showing how quickly the A8...

So I have an 11/18 MS and I just purchased the $2K AP. The 3 features I expected are TACC, Autosteer, and Lane Change with confirmation. However, if I put on my blinker, instead of Autosteer moving me over into the lane, it disengages Autosteer, I have to manually change lanes and then...

OK, let’s talk Audi. I bought a 3 year old A8L with the original window sticker at $105K. It only had 24K miles on it, and I bought it for $45K. How’s that for depreciation? Where are the Audi, BMW and MB owners filing there lawsuits? Oh wait, they’re not! If everyone who bought cars in the...

I bought a Model S and took delivery on 11/24/18. I paid $101,300 plus TT&L for a total of $109,750. Now the exact same car is $86,000. With sales tax, I took an overnight hit of over $16,000. And guess what, I’m not angry! For one, I love my car and I’d pay the same price again. And I don’t...

The real lesson here is; only buy used Tesla’s. I disagree. I was looking at CPO cars for months. I also looked at used from individuals. At the price point of used late 2016 or early 2017, the cars I saw had too many paint chips/issues, or hadn’t been properly cared for by the previous owner...

I’m Jon, and I’m new to the Tesla community. Took delivery of my 2018 MS 100D a couple weeks ago. Trying to see if there are any upcoming NTX events, meet and greet, etc. Thanks.
