    2022MY AWD SR+ with 4680 At Cyber Rodeo

    Also remember, Tesla is prohibited by law from delivering any vehicles in the state of Texas. All vehicles have to be "purchased" out of state and then delivered to the customer. My assumption is these are headed out of state and headed to fleet owners (and why you didn't see any real owners at...

    Supercharger - Waller, TX

    Looks like a total of 16 chargers in 4 pre-fab units. Photo taken on March 14 (today). Sure wish some were pull-through spaces for towing trailers, but any Supercharger at a Buc-ee's is a welcome addition.

    Purchasing MYP for myself, will be the one paying but Loan will be under wife's name to establish credit

    Clown I may be, but in the great state of Texas, any item purchased after a marriage begins, including vehicles, real estate, or collection of whoopee cushions is jointly owned regardless of who's name in on the loan, title or deed. Here's the statue: FAMILY CODE CHAPTER 3. MARITAL PROPERTY...

    Purchasing MYP for myself, will be the one paying but Loan will be under wife's name to establish credit

    You show your location as Houston. Texas is a community property state which has signifiant bearing on your plan. Under Texas law, all of the property and earnings of both spouses acquired during the marriage is considered to be community property (property owned together by the spouses). It...

    Supercharger - Waller, TX

    Superchargers at Buc-ee's are ideal. So glad to see these moving along.

    New Edmunds' Article. Mach-E GT vs MYP.

    According the the EPA, the Mach-E is a small station wagon... but I think anything slightly taller than a Yugo is marketed as a CUV these days.

    New Edmunds' Article. Mach-E GT vs MYP.

    I'll get downvoted into oblivion, but I don't really see an issue here. What was your opinion after driving the Mach-E on the track? Most of these are just observations and opinions. His MY may have had those issues - or perhaps he is embellishing. It's option... As for AP vs BlueCruise, I...

    Supercharger - College Station, TX - Texas Avenue South

    There is a new two stall CSS/CHAdeMO charger running 112.5 kW listed over on the new Brookshire Brothers at 455 George Bush Dr W, in College Station. It's an option if you have the CSS adapter. No idea why they installed a CHAdeMO at this point, but that's what it is. Looks like you need the...

    Help! Tesla added $9k to my Model Y order

    1. I also agree about the Pacifica plug-in hybrid minivan recommendation. We rented the non-hybrid version on vacation in Yellowstone and it was great. Would absolutely do that again. 2. In the terms of the order agreement, Tesla states: "We may also cancel your order and refund your Order...

    Steering Yoke installed and loving it!

    Just as long as you are not putting others at risk. In the big scheme of things, a yoke isn't that dangerous, but it's certainly not safer.

    Steering Yoke installed and loving it!

    And.. personal injury lawyers have been suing everyone right, left, and center. Is that a risk you are willing to take to swap out a wheel for a yoke - especially given that your insurance may or may not cover you if they also deem it an illegal modification under DOT FMVSS?

    Steering Yoke installed and loving it!

    Changes or modifications to your vehicle must use DOT compliant parts to be street legal. Specifically, modifications and parts must comply with 49 CFR Subpart B - Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. For example, if you wanted to make your Model Y into convertible and chopped the top off...
