Really though any of those cars are a great value and joy to drive. Pick the one you can afford.

There is no better service than when Tesla insurance covers an item (like glass) that Tesla is also repairing. In the app “use Tesla insurance?” Popped up… I clicked yes. The Tesla insurance adjuster sent 3 texts: I’ve received your claim. I am covering your claim. Your car is ready and Tesla...

I had this exact problem but I’m in Phoenix. I think it is the glass roof but there are some easy solutions. When I get in my car it’s jacket weather every time now (Phoenix joke - 65 degrees). 1. Tint to state legal maximum on all windows and get a battle tested windshield sunshade. I didn’t...

In Phoenix the dash will reach 180 degrees regularly, and my interior just hit 163 degrees. There are many climates where it’s not a necessary feature, but socal, AZ and Texas are a must. No-ac leaves my interior around 125 degrees in direct sunlight. That’s night and day when getting into the...

In Phoenix two days ago my interior was 163 degrees and I only noticed because the sentry mode kept kicking off. I use no-AC cabin overheat protection and it stays about 125 degrees which is tropical paradise compared to anything that the sun touches (cement is 215 degrees). It isn’t all a...

I always tip $5-$10 depending on the distance. I’ll do 20%. I don’t want to go back to cabs.

[WORRY NO MORE] I set it to connect to my phones hot spot and then to NOT remain connected while in drive so I don’t use my phones data for everything else(I pay for premium connectivity). It downloads the updates once the phone is in range and they download fairly quickly on Verizon - usually...

Got excited and put the TSportline 18" with Michelin Pilot sports in the card plus the accessories. I dunno $3600 just seems to be a lot for a downgrade. The tires are almost double what tire rack is charging too. Ah well, Ill hold off I guess.

How much is your time worth? Switching to a different charger due to slow or broken status even once a month would not be worth any difference in price. How much is peace of mind worth? If I ever fear getting stranded even once, it's worth the entire price of the vehicle. If I had to worry...

I did a road trip in my friends Rivian. He is frantically looking for chargers ahead and reviews to see if they work, and does math in his head based on wh/mi to see how far he can push it. I looked at him kinda dumbfounded and said... "Wow, you don't know do you?!" Tesla automatically daisy...

I thought that too and then got rid of the ICE car eventually because spider webs covered it. I would go through A LOT of inconvenience in my Tesla to never deal with ICE crap accelleration, bad braking, worse safety and pay multiples in expenses. I'd think about it and maybe rent a phev for the...

I installed a charger at work (20 amp) and my parents house (11 kw). Have to go to a supercharger for a few minutes and watch Netflix once per month, instead of from my couch. I would watch Netflix 2 hours a week in my car instead of my couch if it meant I never had to wait for 3 hours for a...

It cant possibly make economic sense to maintain a huge network of 4 stall chargers.

Windshield wipers are annoying with a near full self driving car, so to protest your going back to a non-self driving car? Why not manually drive your Tesla with the wipers off? Also, it's not the bugs... clean the inside of the windshield in front of cameras on a non-humid day every 6 months...
