    Speculation: Model S to be phased out?

    what a dump speculation... no doubt I skip the video each time I see this guy. Boring, slow, and now even coming up with dump speculations only to get viewers. Now... imagine if they do...What would be the value of a low mileage Tesla Model S in a couple of years from now :) )))... As dump as...

    Cost evolution of MS/X yoke

    Oh wow... when did they change the Yoke price to 1000 USD? I got my car and I would have gladly paid them 1000 for the WHEEL.... glad I got it for free... I would never pay 250 for the Yoke.. . I considered it only once for the look, and thought 250 USD is fine... But 1000 USD, no way.

    "Refreshed" Model S model VIBRATION tracking and information thread!!!

    2023 August built. Not feeling vibration but honestly it's hard to isolate the road vibration upon acceleration. Unless you guys are referring to something that is so easy to notice, then I am not seeing any vibration. Still did not even a couple hundred miles on my car.

    Model S Plaid huge depreciation

    You would still find other cars to look goofy compared to Tesla… Maybe am still in the honey moon months, but, I have never ever driven a car that turns heads like the Model S especially when it has the right look, wheels and color. Aaand, this is coming from someone who has been riding BMW...

    Model S Plaid huge depreciation

    I can't believe how many people keep getting this wrong. Sedans do NOT qualify for tax credit unless they are priced at 55K or less, hence the Model S will never ever get there. Only SUV EVs get 7,500 at the 80K threshold. Plus, most likely Tesla will lose half of the the tax credit anyway as...

    FSD Price Cut to $12k Tonight, Aug 31/ Sept 1 2023

    I have no plans to pay 12K for FSD... even in the future, for whatever it offers, that is a lot for FSD.... However, my concern is if they increase the monthly subscription too much that it becomes virtually not possible to get it too.. If it stays at 200/m USD, I am find with that. I just...

    Headlights adjustment

    The refresh allows me to adjust them left-right up-down from the screen menu. It from under the "service" window in the setting. I am just being too scared try to adjust them and lose the factory calibration and I simply wanted to ask others first. I can just push them up and see what happens...

    2023 Plaid - Wheel and Tire questions

    Would 20” require camber adjustment and all the hassle of the factory 21”s like inside wear?

    Interior Led Strips, when?

    Yeah there was another post on this forum in 2021. I guess the good news is that existing cars have the base pre-wiring to the potential future retrofit of the trim if they would ever offer it in the future

    Interior Led Strips, when?

    Where did you read that they are even starting this now? There were 2 years old posts that people took some trims off from Model S and found evidences that it is already pre-wired for LED ambient lighting. If they do start offering the upgrade, am certain that we can get those too on existing...

    FSD price drop for my MY22 Plaid

    By the way can you help me understand the different between EAP and FSD (non-beta) on highway as of right now? From my understanding they are exactly the same on highways. Also, standard AP on highways, I assumes, does same exact thing beside not taking exits or auto lane changes; is that...

    FSD Price Cut to $12k Tonight, Aug 31/ Sept 1 2023

    Is that Elon joining us from an undercover account : ) ? JK In just 3 days testing FSD, I was about to be killed twice man (It almost switched lanes tried to take a left ignoring an incoming a semi truck!!!). Not sure what u r talking about. Not ready, not anytime soon. Highway? maybe but...

    FSD price drop for my MY22 Plaid

    EAP honestly seems to have everything anyone would want from autopilot on highways. FSD is for those who wants to add city steering which I realized that am not a fan of after trying it during my 3-months trial. Just too much drama.

    Yoke vs Steering

    I actually switched my order myself to LR and asked them to match me to an inventory VIN for car at a nearby state that I can pick up immediately. I did that already and I have the car "it is in my profile pic : ) "

    Market value for Plaid

    Sometimes yes they are, and I did well over the years. Tesla is only stupid purchase I ever made (and I knew it beforehand) and that's fine. in 2018, I bought a 2015 Mbenz S-class, drove it for 2 years and 10K miles, and sold it for 1K only less than what I paid for it. in 2020, I bought a...

    Yoke vs Steering

    TLDR...honestly. Anyway sounds like there is just too much drama with the Yoke. Thanks everyone.. I ended up going with the wheel steering. Happy with it nothing much to worry or think about. Feedback here was so useful.

    FSD Price Cut to $12k Tonight, Aug 31/ Sept 1 2023

    What do you mean? I also have an address in Idaho. Why are you having issues finding a Tesla insurance? State farm charges me 155 USD/month even without their Drive-Safe-and-Save GPS tracker. With that I could have paid 120 USD/month. 155 USD/m is pretty good based on the amounts I have...

    Headlights adjustment

    Just drove my 23’ MS for the first time at night. I feel the headlights can be a tiny bit higher. I know there is an adjustment feature under service. Has anyone tried it? Is it safe to just go there and click once or twice up and assume I am 2-clicks above factory calibration so i can...

    What a crazy night! First highland, then model S and X drop to the cheapest I’ve seen yet with free paint colors!

    I agree. I just sold one of the nicest and fully loaded Mercedes S-class cars that anyone could ever build (151K MSRP every single option). I swear that my current new to me Blue Model S turns heads 10X more than my S-class. I hot many thumps ups on stop lights. Not many Tesla cars in my...

    MS Standard Range no AWD?

    I switched last minute to long range and took one from inventory with matching spec’s at 9.5K discount. Ended up at same price we would have paid for standard range had we ever got it. With current discounts, am so glad we got the LR when the inventory cars were heavily discounted as its...

    Model S&X Price Adjustments

    Problem, is us, the consumers. We keep posting online and do nothing. If we truly care, people should just boycott Tesla going forward. If Tesla cares, they must at least offer something, call it free FSD, or whatever, for those who got their cars in the past couple of months. I would not...

    What a crazy night! First highland, then model S and X drop to the cheapest I’ve seen yet with free paint colors!

    Why would you compare the M3 to the MS? They are not even the same size, not the same suspension, and the drive comfort as well as suspension are at a different level, and not to mention the cabin size. One could say the same thing comparing a C-class Mbenz to an S-class Mbenz (50K vs 100K...

    FSD Price Cut to $12k Tonight, Aug 31/ Sept 1 2023

    I re-did the math and I think you guys are right. Even at 12K, it would take a lot of years before the re-sale value benefit (probably only 3K more) plus the monthly subscription avoidance, before it may exceed the 12K threshold. Sounds to me that in order for FSD purchase to be well worth it...

    FSD Price Cut to $12k Tonight, Aug 31/ Sept 1 2023

    So, with the new price reductions I just noticed that FSD now is 12K... Does anyone think it's worth it now? I tried it but my 2023 is still on 11.4.4 with HW4, not sure why it did not progress beyond that. I tried FSD, it worked well under the "average" mode. Did not like much but I still...

    Center Cap for wheels after removing 19" Tempest

    There? also what tire sizes did u go with? Staggered or squared? no spacers right?

    Any Model S Refresh/Plaid owners with the 21” Arachnid wheels regret not going with the 19” Tempests?

    I'll try those for now. I thought someone must have at least tried one of those option on Amazon and found good color matching ones. Those look close enough but am not confident they are a real match. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08V87FQCD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

    MS Standard Range no AWD?

    I traveled to get it from Minnesota (there is a Tesla store 30min away from MSP airport). Then I shipped my car via self-arranged transportation. They are one of a few who offers generous discount ~9K on inventory MS and MX (new and NOT demos). Almost most others would only offer 9K only if...

    MS Standard Range no AWD?

    @kg7jo- I am willing to take the challenge. I bet I will NOT ... because I got my long range at 9K discount and I traveled to a nearby state wherein Tesla sales are too low and they have inventory on discount. The car manufactured date was just 3 weeks ago, VIN was never ever assigned to...

    MS Standard Range no AWD?

    I had an order for the Standard range that I just switched to Long Range last minute (i took delivery of my Long Range just today). The car is basically the same. In fact, they said they could technically get a Long Range (same exact car) from factory and just label it as a Standard Range and...

    Yoke vs Steering

    So I actually test drove the Yoke for 30 min; it was fine but i was not sure how long it will take to get used to it. I was just watching this video, and liked how his muscle memory is tunes to also do the slip-trick using the Yoke (see minute 3:14):

    Any Tesla Model S Standard-Range deliveries yet?

    what are the current projections/leaks or estimated timeline for HW4 FSD operation?

    Does HW4 matter

    Yes but you answered to my original comment wherein I specifically mentioned (2-3 years of ownership plan). As a car who likes to try new toys very often, in most cases, my decision to buy or sell is always driving my the financial aspect of it. That's just me. So, with that in mind, I'd...

    New inventory discount vs New order

    Two questions? Any issues with a discounted (~3K) tesla from existing new inventory instead of building the same exact car from new? saving 3K or so....? Any chance or risk that any of the existing Model Y or other Tesla cars now have HW3 instead of the HW4?
  49. CTruck_BMW

    Does HW4 matter

    I was referring to an already well depreciated pre-owned Model S Plaid also with FSD (hence i neither paid for FSD and neither absorbed the depreciation) and it had already sat now at 10K above MS LR in the pre-owned market. As for range, i get that but with 19" wheels for those who need the...
