I got lucky a few months ago and dodged a small deer on a country road. I ended up on the shoulder and couldn't believe I missed it. Later review of the incident showed how close the encounter was. One thing that has worked for me, if you do see a deer next to the road hit the horn as you brake...

It would be great if those were easy to access. I find myself going in reverse so I can see how close I am. You can access them with the camera button I think, but then need to scroll down to see the side views. I'm going to try that next time I park.

I had several close calls (and angry honks!) because of the poor side view mirrors. Couldn't position them to work for me. The cameras were an improvement but awkward until they allowed them to be positioned on the top of the screen in a recent update. Then it was a matter of training myself to...

That instant rebate part starts in 2024, and I assume you would need to prove your income level to qualify. In 2023 you would take it when you file. Unless the dealers just give it to you and the IRS takes it back if you don't qualify (+ penalty & interest!) since it would need to still be...

It sounds like they don't have the details worked out on what will qualify, so it is impossible to say how the IRS will interpret it until they start processing 2023 returns. Like most legislation these days, it was written sloppily and leaves the details to others. There is a provision...

Tesla has a difficult future ahead. It looks like he will need to purchase Twitter at an inflated price and sell a pile of stock to finance it. That will depress tesla stock price and put pressure on raising revenue. Price increases are unlikely since it is obvious the backlogs are diminishing...

As a building contractor I can't help but throw some tool bags in the back, even though I don't use them much! And the storage below the floor is pretty good too. I've dropped the rear seat and stuffed it with boxes of product, sinks etc. and was surprised at how much I was able to get in there...

Just passed my 1-year anniversary and 42K miles on my white MYLR- no options. Had a few minor issues initially but a couple of service trips and it's been rock-solid on my 170mi daily commute. I just replaced my tires at 40K, which was more than I expected to get since half my commute is over a...

The homelink needs to pair with the motor, which may or may not be doorking, even though the keypad is. I just paired with an operator called an All-o-matic and had to pull the cover off and push a "pair" button on the motor control. Nice to have it automatically signal the opener when I drive up.

Leave it to the politicians to write garbage rules like that. Good luck collecting on this if it does pass. 50% of the rebate depends on 50% of the battery materials from free trade countries? With Russia and China dominating those markets it will take some fast talking to make that work. Did...

Turning into a normal car company with the add on costs for anything they can find. I remember Elon saying "we aren't going to make money on service" like car dealers, but they are certainly looking for all the profit centers they can tap. And I have to laugh at the guy saying "they could just...

Check carefully on what payment type they will accept. I remember when I picked mine up last Sept they would not take a cashiers check, but accepted my company check. They took it inside while I inspected the car and did a bank transfer into their account before we could finalize the...

I have the same issue. There are a couple of components under the seat with wire harnesses that have somehow loosened enough to hit the plastic cover above them. I tried taping them up, which works for a few days. Now it is making noise again. I may try wrapping them with zip ties or possibly...

Weird then that my delivery est is Dec. Maybe it will update closer.

If you have the option to charge at home you could set up for night charging when loads are lightest. Easy to do with the app.
