Yeah I get it. There are also people who are convinced their Toyota Corolla is the best car ever built. Gets from A to B, inexpensive, efficient, and unrivaled reliability. Some of us just want more.

Are you saying Tesla refused to cover rotten (not worn) brakes under their 4 year 50,000 mile warranty? If so then I would say that is a pretty low integrity warranty. Generally brakes would be covered unless it is wear and tear. If they say they don't cover rot, then they are saying their...

Mine is an EQS580 and what I paid is about the same as 2 base MYPs. Racking up multiple MYPs is just clogging up a driveway. At the end of the day its a second rate car with fast acceleration I also wouldn't take a Hellcat over a Ferrari 456. At the end of the day HP is not everything.

The same is true for emissions testing but look at Dieselgate. EPA range estimates is Tesla’s dieselgate. The data shows they are uniquely benefiting from a bias in the estimations. What we don’t know is how they are manipulating it.

100%. The data speaks for itself. Teslas range is consistently overrated relative to other brands.

Yes the pros of being electric are a huge pro. But when there is an Electric E-Class (EQE) then it will be a different story. Agree 100%. Dealership shenanigans are a pain.

Agree. The good news is there have been rumors going around for over a year now that Tesla may add air suspension to the Y when Texas comes on line. So this may change.

Sold.

The horror is not the lack of buttons but the lack of a sunshade or an instrument cluster. Much less expensive cars have those amenities. I know some apologists say that you don't need an instrument cluster - but then why do the X and S have it? I'd love to see how the stockholm syndrome...

Agree. Air suspension and either HUD or a driver display would be worthwhile even if as an option. It would also free up the main screen to be full screen which would make it much better and a more consistent UX to the S and X.

I just sold my Model Y to Driveo. Great price BTW - 62,500 for a May Build 2021 Model Y with 20" wheels. It was a quick and smooth experience. Since this was my first Tesla, I thought I'd share some thoughts on the car having owned it for almost 7 months. Highs: 1) Powertrain. Power deliver...

2021 Tesla Model Y LR 3956 miles White Black Interior 20" Wheels 5 Seat Full-front PPF plus rear rock impact area and rear bumper load area. Excellent condition - always garaged indoors. Some light scuff marks on edges of front wheels (easily fixed) I bought this car last May. I bought it...

The key issue with EV sound is what the implication is when the streets of London are jammed with EVs. Will that sound be tolerable. I am hoping that the EV leads to quieter cities. Not a replacement of a loud low pitch hum with a loud high pitch hum. This could be a disaster.

Personally I don’t think the Plaid is worth the extra $50k. You will rarely use the 2.2s 0-60. I used to have a 911 Turbo S and I rarely used the 2.5s 0-60 on that. General you don’t want to be driving around public streets acting like a maniac. I would only consider a Plaid if they had a...

how did you retrofit radar and what was cost? am interested in comparison videos.
