    Model 3 Steering Wheel Peeling - less than 3 years

    OEM steering wheels are $200 on ebay, 15-20 minute install.

    Received my Model Y today

    I believed I had the fastest delivery ever. 14 minutes on the property! Guess I was wrong.

    Tesla drops prices on X/S $20k. All colors free. Bye bye resale

    When they started all this, Tesla was losing tens of thousands of dollars on every car. Now, they can enjoy a huge profit margin per vehicle which they can now use to clear out inventory. It just proves that once you go all in on electric, you can really perfect that, and drive the prices down...

    Toyota and Tesla to partner up for new SUV?

    Click whore. 😀

    Bought today, picking up next week

    Congrats and welcome to the club. Once you've owned a Tesla, it's hard to consider any other brand. They just do it right. Competiton is heating up, but imho, their is no substitute yet. Your number one task, before floormats even, is to get a swivel screen. Its a game changer. :)

    Vampire drain 0.5% per day is not bad

    I'll try that before my next trip, but why would I care about rated miles, when that is relative (to my driving) -- Battery SOC is not.

    Vampire drain 0.5% per day is not bad

    Are you saying that LFPs normally leak 0.5% a day, or that there is no way to accurately measure leakage with LFP?

    Vampire drain 0.5% per day is not bad

    Things may be improving compared to what I have heard (?). Had it parked for 2 days, went from 84% to 83% in 'Last Seen 2 days ago...' refresh. Not a great sample size for just 43 hours, but I'll be parked for 5 days while I travel this weekend in wife's car. I'll see how it drops from 100% to...

    Tesla charged my loan more than the agreed price

    Ouch. I calculate a $300/month difference between $55K and $40K at 7% over 60 months., What you need is a new loan. Maybe your lender can re-do the loan with the smaller amount.

    Got clipped by a lost driver [how much will this cost to repair?]

    Looks like you're the winner (OP says $3500) ;)

    Front end damage, would this be totaled?

    I've seen less damage on other Teslas that got totaled.

    New 2023 model Y doesnt include homelink?

    Its a 10 minute self install + 2 minutes to program. Pick up the unit, mount and fastener screw for $175 shipped (or cheaper) on Ebay. This guy is sold out, but more will come. It works great, maybe the best garage door opening solution in history because it's fully automatic as you drive...

    Delivery day didn't go so well. Options and decisions to be made, seeking input and advice.

    The vast majority of Y's have no paint issues so why settle for the rare one that does. Its your money, so reject it, and wait for the perfect one coming just behind it. Let a person with a less-decerning eye accept this one.

    Touch up paint for 21' Uberturbine?

    This what you need. https://www.amazon.com/Tesla-Wheel-Touch-Uberturbine-Performance/dp/B09V881MQV They also have a full kit that includes sanding pads of various grits. Not sure if its available down under, though. I figure Amazon is world-wide. UPDATE: forget Amazon, the company ships...
