    Selling 2022 Model S LR reservation

    How do you do it right? I have two Model Y FSD coming in two weeks and don't know what to do with them. If I try to resell after purchase, the sales tax will take a big chunk out of the value .

    Model Y Long Range Rear Wheel Drive (LR RWD)

    I'm hanging onto my reservation. I'm hoping for a free upgrade to the AWD, or else that the LR RWD will benefit from more feature and technology advances. I chose the LR RWD 7 seater because I wanted to delay delivery (since I have go a Model 3 a year ago as an interim vehicle). I'll wait a...

    Dog Mode Improvement Needed

    Ha ha! Well, some dogs are probably just too dumb to know that hanging themselves is an option. Or, if they're like my dogs, they have such strong neck muscles that they would just hang there until you came back to take them down. One of my dogs tries every day to hang himself from the end of...

    Dog Mode Improvement Needed

    "Dog mode" has room for further improvements, apparently - it should not be possible for him to move the windows, locks, or controls for example - but it is extremist to say that a dog should not or could not ever be left alone in an enclosed, air conditioned, padded, alarmed, and monitored...

    After low ball offers by Carmax and Tesla, sold it myself - Huge Difference!

    Tesla's "Logistics hell" applies to trade ins as well as new cars. They don't have the capacity to take in any new cars of any kind, and are never going to be anxious to get another used Tesla on their inventory. Dealers have always advised people to sell their used cars outright for more...

    Nissan launches hands-off ProPilot 2.0 On-Ramp to Off-Ramp (Rivals Navigate on Autopilot)

    Agreed. Solve for the edge conditions, and the happy path will take care of itself.

    Afraid of loosing Aero efficiency vs Cool looking Wheels?

    Removing the aero caps will reveal a solid spoked wheel and some industrial looking lugnuts. There are dress-up kits for these wheels that will give them a nice custom look, effectively giving you two different looks from one set of wheels.

    Favorite Floor Mats?

    I'm leaning toward the Tesla mats, and am wondering how many people here would agree or disagree that the Tesla mats offer the best luxury-style, easy to vacuum LOOSE debris, and mild weather protection. I live in a tropical zone and drive my car as a luxury model, so my main interests in a...

    Connecting to xfinitywifi

    My Tesla doesn't seem to have a browser, my Android is not rooted, and my laptop doesn't permit WIFI spoofing. I have access to an iPhone and iPad, but I'm guessing those will prevent spoofing Any suggestions or other hacks/workarounds? The Xfinity portal doesn't seem to offer a method to...

    Autopilot saved a Motorbike+Rider from an accident.

    I gave up a car I really liked and was planning to keep for several more years to get the Model 3, even though I didn't really need it, it is an unwanted new obligation in a time when I am seeking to simplify, and it really ended up costing me thousands more than I had anticipated. This story...

    What’s the dumbest thing you’ve heard about EVs?

    I heard the one about the carbon footprint. From the same guy, I heard that Nitrogen was the best fuel for a car. After several minutes of confused conversation, I finally concluded that he was talking about "Hydrogen". Then he proceeded to tell me that Hydrogen never really had a chance...

    What the chances Tesla cars will be self driving in 3 years? Why do you think that way?

    I've been pressing the limits of my existing FSD, and just keep seeing more and more situations that I really don't think an autonomous car could fully deal with on it's own. However, I do foresee cities and towns designating "robot friendly" zones in which the streets, signs, curbs, etc are...

    Would you join the Elon's Robo-Taxi Fleet with your Tesla?

    I would consider selling some of my existing investments and purchasing a small fleet of commodity-style cars as a semi-retirement business. I would try to get a break on the FSD software, though, as a multi-license owner.
