    Model S Plaid leaves me stranded; almost 30 days in service - No lemon law. What now?

    I believe Tesla will figure it out, but like most have said I’d get out of the vehicle after it’s “fixed” asap due to lack of trust. Also, I’m pretty confident the GA Lemon law only applies to New vehicles, as the manufacturer is on the hook to attempt to fix an issue x number of times before...

    Tax, Title, Fees, in Texas

    Some circle talk in this thread, no doubt because of the Texas built vs CA cars. Not sure how a Texas built car would be different than my experience of paying upfront and then choosing a delivery option. For Texas buyers, car isn’t shipped until you pay for it, just like Amazon. Either way...

    Update 2022.20.x — Tesla Release Notes

    Been running 2022.20.5 all week, I swear my 22’M3P feels like it has some pep in its step now. At 59% today, upper curve around 75-100MPH seems like it’s pulling harder. DFW traffic, 75MPH is slow around here, lol.

    Sports mode steering feels significantly lighter

    I’m on 2022.16.2 and sport steering is still light. Regen braking seems stronger to me, but I’ll have to drive it more to confirm.

    Going to order a new Model 3 performance. Should I consider the long range AWD?

    Buy the LR! I’d rather less people have the Performance so my resale value will continue to climb, lol. Seriously though l, sounds like you want a LR, just buy it already bro. Everyone on here had to make their own decision as to which trim level they wanted, remember that, those are the...

    Best practices for buying from someone from this forum?

    100k on blind faith, yeah that’s not gonna end well. Unless you have money to burn, you should look into a third party to protect both of you. A car broker or a local mechanic at the cars location might be a good way to ensure you’re getting what you’re paying for.

    MY Vin assigned. Out of country for 3 weeks. What are my options?

    No more transfers, so all those details regarding location and specs are useless.

    Better resale value: Model 3 LR or Performance?

    Like someone else mentioned above, just buy the trim level you want now. It sounds like you’re struggling with a lot of future what ifs and the price differential now, and how to justify it. Just get the Performance already, your LR+AB will still be a LR in the end.

    Selling my Model Y Reservation

    Hopefully you have a relative that wants it, if not it sounds like your reservation fee is in the wind.

    Hit and run on brand new Model 3

    What we need is stiffer penalties to discourage behavior like this, it shouldn’t rest on the victim’s shoulders to enforce the laws. My wife was side-swiped like this, and she chased the perp down. While I wouldn’t encourage this, she caught the fool and made him pull over. Local PD said it...

    Working with my HOA to get L2 charging installed... advice on how to make it as cost-efficient as possible?

    Price of copper, approved conduit, City/County permits, unfortunately $20k is probably in the ballpark. My L2 install in my garage was $1k. Commercial work is always ridiculous! I’m not seeing where the incentive is for the HOA though. Most residents don’t like the fees they pay now...
