A good reason to not believe Elon on this topic is that it was posted almost 4 years ago and he was tossing around the idea of "module replacements." For those unaware, a battery is made up of separate modules (3-4 of them, depending on what you buy.) Tesla has never offered any such service...

Well, you had great timing considering the price drops that went into effect tonight. Question: Did you actually see a Model X with no USS? There has been no confirmation of this yet.

Took delivery of 500XXX 2023 LR S (MSM, 19”, Black Interior, FSD) tonight. I asked the advisor helping me out and he told me the build date was December 8th, 2022. It was a late pickup and I was running out of daylight, but everything looks great so far. I did a quick check for any obvious...

They are not offering any discounts, at least yet, on S/X. They are under significant pressure to discount 3/Y because those cars are going to be, at least partially, discounted just as much on January 1.

That is the new screen.

Well, Tesla came through. A few hours after I sent the last text they presumably escalated again and restored the trade in value (+$1,100) to the still valid offer received a few days earlier. A bit annoying having to ask for updates and keep receiving reminders about my "final trade-in offer,"...

I am scheduled to accept delivery of my PF500XXX LR S this Friday, but Tesla is "shining" in dealing with non-standard situations like usual. Two weeks ago I submitted my trade in info for my Model 3 and they made an offer. This offer is valid until early January. Apparently this locks out the...

The first person to report it (the guy with the screen protectors mismatch) had a Long Range. Far more likely just Tesla switching to a new part number after they ran out of the old part number, which is why it didn’t line up perfectly with the 2023 model year.

I already put the order on hold once when they assigned me a reject-by-someone-else 2022 VIN mid-October. They are unlikely to play ball and allow me to place another hold at this point. I am waiting to see if any new info surfaces in the next couple days (unlikely) before making a decision.

No idea what kind of signature we could expect to see. I find it hard to believe no one has dropped the bumper on a 23 M3/MY yet, it is really easy to do, especially now without the USS harness.

And on that note, Tesla just assigned me a VIN. PF500xxx. Time to make some decisions on whether to accept it or cancel the order and wait.

There is far more to this story than "assumed theory" and there is no guess about it being automotive or not. The "HD Radar" itself popped up in the Tesla parts catalog for Model S/X several months ago with diagrams of it, on accident, and was removed almost immediately. It is a bumper mounted...

Yeah, I already own a Tesla and am in no particular rush to upgrade. People will always say “there is always something new around the corner.” They aren’t wrong, but that doesn’t mean you are wrong for wanting to get in on the very latest just after a change and not have a “legacy” car 1 month...

This is unfounded. There is absolutely nothing indicating Tesla is going to say anything other than "HW3 without radar is good enough to accomplish what we promised for FSD. Of course, HW4 will be better, but it is not needed." This is actually more in line with the tone Elon and his team were...

There are four documents pending release, the “Internal Photos,” “External Photos,” “Test Setup Photos” and “User Manual.” Likely just waiting for someone at the FCC to hit the approve for release button on their end.
