    RWD with EAP vs LR with basic

    Put this in your equation...Long Range has a better sound system.

    Things That Tesla Has Fixed

    For many years, you couldn't answer/hang up the phone from the wheel. Huge improvement.

    Official Foundation Series Dual Motor Waiting room

    Thanks. I went ahead and hit the buy button. We will have to meet up some time. I'm going to try to take delivery in Chattanooga, which is now my closest store.

    Official Foundation Series Dual Motor Waiting room

    I got my order invitation last night. Order #112878..., Alabama. Delivery estimated Mar-May. Before I make the decision to buy a Founders Edition, can someone point me to some real world owner reviews so I can make sure I'm going to be happy with this? This would be my 3rd Tesla. Thx

    Highland Range

    Well, since I wrote this post 2 days ago, I got my invite to purchase a Cybertruck. Now I have to get serious about my research.

    Highland Range

    Can someone explain why the new model 3 has reduced range compared to the old version? In the case of the RWD, it's about 25 miles less. Is the wheels, the battery or more accurate "truth in advertising". I currently own a model 3 RWD and was thinking about getting the new version. I don't...

    HVAC Temperature Settings - Only Even Degrees Available

    I have the same problem on my 2023 model 3. I've posted the problem in a couple of Tesla facebook groups and just get a bunch of non-answers. I actually have a tech coming to my house shortly for an air filter change. I'll ask him what he know.

    Tesla Service Centers

    Is anybody aware of any progress on service related issues? I'm getting frustrated enough with it that I've been thinking about trading for something else. I love my car, but 24 man-hours to drop and pick up my car for an A/C repair is more time than I have.

    Can the Tesla Wall Connector output power to a NEMA 14-50 outlet?

    For a brief time earlier this year, Tesla was selling a wall charger with a 14-50 plug on it. I had planned to buy one but it disappeared from the web site before I could order. There are a couple of threads about it, speculating that it got pulled over regulatory issues.

    Sharing my car repair experience

    Agree totally. Every time I read one of these, I truly consider ditching the Tesla before the inevitable happens.

    Oedro Model S All weather mats for $65?

    I have found that wheel cleaner seems to do the trick. I spray wheel cleaner on the dirty parts, wipe down with a cloth and then rinse with water.

    Model S collision repairs

    Ultimately, this is the reason insurance rates are sky high relative to cost on Teslas. And, unfortunately, I don't see it getting better.
