    Pricing strategy for 2023?

    I wonder how the POS will work when there are taxpayer qualifications based on AGI.

    tesla trade-in values decreasing :( Nov/Dec 2022

    Seems we are back to "don't BUY a new vehicle unless you intend to keep it for seven years". So choose wisely.

    Bypass Lane Behavior

    Well, I had a situation related to that a couple of days ago. Bypass is for a left turn onto a freeway entrance ramp. Section of road preceding the bypass comes from a roundabout so cars are accelerating back up to the speed limit of 55 mph. What happened to me was "grandpa" in front of me was...

    FSD Beta 10.69

    "Yield to traffic on your left" is the law and my mantra in multi lane roundabouts. If I am in the outside lane my head is on a swivel assuming the cars on the inside are trying to kill me, even when I'm not on a motorcycle. All my local roundabouts are one lane. 3.1 seems to handle those well.

    FSD Beta 10.69

    First day testing. Area I live in has a general speed limit of 55. Problem is that limit can apply through sharp 90 degree bends and even roundabouts. Those are marked with warning signs like 20 mph. FSD needs to read those and take action.

    FSD Beta 10.69

    I'm in, new user upgraded from 36.6. Might be a coincidence but yesterday I sent my VIN number to the earlyaccess email box. This morning when I checked my cell phone at wakeup time, voila!

    Kicked out of FSD queue?

    I don't know that constancy of enrollment or safety score makes any difference at this point. Everybody who paid for FSD should have the opportunity to get V11 by the end of the year. I suppose there is a slight chance of us enrolled with high scores getting 69.3.1 in the meantime but I am not...

    Watch out when backing a trailer...

    Trailer jackknifed a little too far when backing up. Right rear fender. Assume PDR can take care of that.

    Model Y Not Worth the Price Now [Nov 2022]

    Well..... I dearly love my Y priced last September, now.... chose options to make an apples to apples comparison with a 2023 AWD Cadillac Lyriq (tow, 20" wheels and EAP) and bleep, the Y is 10K more expensive.

    Elon Musk

    In 1979, "United States recognized that the government of the People's Republic of China was the sole legal government of China, and acknowledged the PRC's position that Taiwan is part of China." The CCP will not permit Taiwan independence.

    CyberTruck Starting Price Poll

    I have an order for a Lariat Lighting ER, 87K, which I can back out of without penalty. But that truck is/was Plan B. I think or maybe wishfully think Tesla can price a dual motor CT under the tax credit limit. Just looking at 304 stainless pricing it's more than doubled since 2019, to around...

    Used market has really taken a hit [All discussion of Model 3 Resale value]

    40 years of watching financial markets has taught me this: parabolic up is followed by parabolic down.

    CyberTruck Starting Price Poll

    Will go with the quad at 100+K, and a dual motor squeaking in under the tax credit limit. The cheapest Extended Range Lightning is over 80K so there's the bar.

    Looking for recommendations - Improve Autopilot/Navigate-on-autopilot driving characteristics

    Thing I learned quickly in stop and go freeway traffic is set the max speed to what you think is the actual pace of traffic. For example, the freeway may be marked 65 mph but the actual flow is more like 20. Set the max to say 25 and the TACC won't jerk you back and forth and set itself up for...
