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

    Even Tesla hasn't updated the pricing on their used Inventory. You can get a 21' Plaid for $93,200 or step up to a 2023 Plaid with 578 miles for $103,900 and a $2,500 transport fee. Hopefully in the coming weeks, we may even see 2023 inventory cars at lower prices than the new build.

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

    Inventory Vehicles were $5k or more under the price of ordering one before the recent price drop. Does it look like we will get a chance to see an additional $5k off the Plaid from new to inventory? Now there is no benefit to buying inventory since they are charging the $1,300 destination fee...

    Purchasing in TN for out of state registration

    I'm in WA with 10.2%. Oregon next door has $0 Sales tax but when you bring the car home to get WA plates, you have to pay the Sales Tax on it. I think most states have the same thing. If you purchase in a state with lower sales tax you may have to pay the difference unless you wait a certain...

    23 S black on black. Tint recommendations

    From my experience on tinting my BMW and 2 Teslas. I was happy with the following. 1. You can go with 3M or Expel as 2 of the top. I went with Expel Nano-Ceramic which has self healing for scratches. 2. That is very subjective especially if you have never had tinted windows. Go to your local...

    Interior gloss carbon upgrades

    My wife drives the 2022 BMW X5 and the interior puts Tesla to shame. I think the gloss Carbon Fiber makes up a lot of ground though. Much nicer looking than the Long Range options. I am definitely liking the yoke so far but it will also need a CF upgrade. Thanks for sharing.

    Interior gloss carbon upgrades

    I haven't sold my 12/2017 because the trade-in wasn't worth it, but I hated the woodgrain. Just got a long range and almost got a Plaid just for the CF until I found out you could do it aftermarket. Before you purchased, were you able to see the gloss and matte side-by side? I am looking at...

    First Highway FSD experience: Any chance that FSD is using a different navigation engine?

    I have a 11/2017 Model S and purchased FSD with it in 2000. It is pretty amazing and I don't know if I was lucky or if Seattle is just a well-learned area. It is great on Freeways and even better on city streets with traffic. On city streets, I need to make the runs myself after the FSD gets...

    Cost/benefit of FSD versus basic autopilot on used S

    I have a 2017 that is fully loaded with FSD. I use it all the time and put on 24k miles last year with a 1 hr freeway commute each way, and it is fantastic. I don't know if I got lucky, but the HW 3.0 upgrade with with FSD is amazing. I use it on city streets and definitely for the freeway drive...

    Questions for owners of first deliveries of refreshed Model S

    Sounds like they haven't figured out the 360 degree view yet but have they updated the cameras/software to give you a forward camera view for parking like the MCU backup cameras? My wife laughs because her X5M has everything that my MS should have. Can't wait for my LR. Thanks

    Plaid vs LR

    I recently purchased a 12/2017 75D since I needed a vehicle and the refresh sounded like it wasn't going to happen in time. Looking to order a new LR but curious if the Plaid + will be worth the wait. If you order a Plaid+, do they give you any additional insights to the extras?

    Blog Model S Plaid With Yoke Steering Wheel Spotted Near Factory

    I use the FSD in my Model S every day and I can say that a yoke would be fine if you aren't "driving" over 50% of the time. Not sure on the automatic gear selection but it sounds like a manual shift can be done on the yoke.

    In case you haven't seen yet - leaked v11 pics from refreshed Model S

    Seems like the system will need to learn what you would normally do and then it might be less scary to depend on.
