    Toyota Mechanic Reviews the Model Y

    This is absolutely untrue. I’m sorry, but this needs to be called out. First issue is the report coming from fake news MSNBC who has an agenda to push. This is why I can’t watch any national news station. These idiots aren’t in the auto industry or understand how manufacturing works. The...

    Toyota Mechanic Reviews the Model Y

    I disagree a little here about the V8 and body on frame but agree with much of what you said. I’ve owned 4 200 series Land Cruisers and the previous three have been put through the wringer with high miles and never had a single issue. The frame on a 200 series is similar in size and strength of...

    Comfort Suspension Not Much of an Improvement

    I actually like my recent test drive. The ev thing is all new to me. I test drove the MYLR with the 20”s and on most cars, I have always had issues with bigger wheels above 19” being more stiff on any vehicle plus more susceptible to damage. The test ride was great on smooth surfaces and highway...

    Is now REALLY a good time to buy a new Tesla? [Jan 2023 / April 2023]

    I would have to agree. Being in finance, it floors me people spend over 10-15% of annual salary on vehicles unless they are flipping on special cars. It’s no wonder why so many have horrible retirement savings. The clients I do have with Teslas (generally X or S) are in the $300k(family) plus...

    I know this wasn’t directed to me but hydraulic suspension would be fantastic.

    Great test drive feedback. Have you compared the MYLRorP to the GV70 or BMW iX?

    IRS raises maximum eligible price limit to $80k for Model Y

    Ok, I'll wait fort HW6 😆 When was HW3 released? I am not concerned with what's after HW4 but I also don't want get a MYLR in March and late Spring/summer they install HW4 and I feel like a fool for not waiting an extra couple months. I am not someone who chases new tech. Heck, had my iPhone 8...

    I bet the Sportline 18” wheels with the pilot AS tires would make a decent impact on road comfort. Anyone have experience with this setup?

    IRS raises maximum eligible price limit to $80k for Model Y

    A lot of info. flying around to confuse us newbie potential owners. I feel like the Tesla website is a bit misleading when it mentions certain features without giving much detail about them. For instance, it states the standard feature of 360 view but when I test drove the MYLR it did not have...

    IRS raises maximum eligible price limit to $80k for Model Y

    Yeah, I hear you. I have no desire to spend $15k for a software add unless absolutely works to it’s given potential. Not one for paying to be a beta tester.My goal for car is to relax on my 150mi. Hwy trips to nearby and not use AP around town. I was under the false impression the HW4 was to add...

    I can certainly absorb the increased price but I’m still a frugal spender...most of the time Lol

    IRS raises maximum eligible price limit to $80k for Model Y

    Thanks. I have over analyzed and reviewed comments on here trying to learn as much as possible and have come back with a couple concerns as to why I was thinking of waiting. The lack of sensors for parking in tight underground garage spots and missing rear traffic/pedestrian detection alerts as...

    IRS raises maximum eligible price limit to $80k for Model Y

    I do not qualify for rebates, so wondering if I should simply wait until rebate goes away in March. I have this odd feeling Elon is just pumping out cars to take advantage of these huge rebates before releasing new upgrades to stay competitive when %rates potentially go up in (April?), no ev...

    Model Y Review by a Hater

    All valid concerns. The PB makes me a little nervous as people love to tailgate. Sure it would be the other persons fault for slamming into me but I really don’t want to deal with it or get injured because of it.

    HW4 leak: 1 fewer camera

    Ok, thanks. As I’ve never owned a Tesla, are these things retrofitted when they are released or just have to trade in for newer Tesla?

    HW4 leak: 1 fewer camera

    Does the new MYLR without USS have the new 5mp cameras? I feel like I read this somewhere but just spoke with my SA from local Tesla center who just called to ask if I was ready to order and said he hasn’t heard of any new cameras as of yet.

    Model Y Review by a Hater

    The clown show os common on many car forums. It’s amazingly how personally people take objective comments, like they are being paid by the automaker to be cheerleaders. Even when I owned a Ferrari, 911’s, etc. in my wasteful spending years, I never took a bad comment personally. To me, they are...

    Model Y Review by a Hater

    Don’t sweat it, I do this all the time in my wife’s X3 on the way to taking my kid to school. Never in my 15yrs of dropping her off, have I ever spilled my coffee. Granted, it’s within a 7mi. uneventful drive but I am the same as you, I don’t like drinking hot coffee from a sipper mug.

    Discussion: Model 3 and Y price drop Jan 2023 / April 2023 / Oct 2023 and All other Pricing Speculation going forward

    Well, I was more curious if I should wait when the Tesla vision is fully operational before ordering and wait for feedback from owners.

    Nice! I like the second option “suma”. Is this what you have? That’s the problem with many U.S cars, is the actual mirror itself. These remind me of my Ferrari mirrors.

    Good conversation here and Ron J. hit it on the head. Well done. My question, we don’t qualify for any ev tax incentives and wondering if we should just wait a few more months to order a MYLR to see if these safety-updates or upgrades will be installed. From what I’ve read, HD radar will first...

    Let me correct this, I’ve been driving for 30yrs and owned 20 cars. I truly wish it was the other way around. I hate getting old. Lol! I don’t any more. Sold it a few years ago. It was fun for awhile but constantly having to worry about people practically rear ending others or me to take photos...

    Discussion: HW.4 Suite - Availability, retrofit, suitability etc.

    Thank you. I have never owned an Ev, so this is all new territory for my wife and I. We don’t plan on driving it with AP on very often and mostly just want it for running errands and short trips to Nashville/Chattanooga/Winston-Salem from Knoxville while keeping my 200 Heritage series for nasty...

    Will it slow down if a car is stopped at the light in AP or just in general like AEB?

    Comfort Suspension Not Much of an Improvement

    Funny but the side mirrors are a bit smaller than I’m used to. I’ve owned well over 30 cars in my 20yrs of driving and the only car that had worse blind spot was my 458 italia. It would think at high tech car would have a simple icon in the mirror. If you haven’t noticed, people drive like poo...

    Discussion: HW.4 Suite - Availability, retrofit, suitability etc.

    We experienced this with our test drive but never allowed the car to stop as we thought it was going to run the light so I preemptively slowed the car down. Good to know it will actually stop.

    Comfort Suspension Not Much of an Improvement

    I just test drove a new MYLR with the 21” wheels. My biggest concerns are the rear collision and lack of blind spot. In fast busy traffic “i40” looking down at the screen takes your eyes off the road and by the time you look again, a motorcycle,etc. could be in your blind spot as it only takes...

    Model Y - Initial Impressions - Delights, surprises, disappointments and concerns

    The reason we see more electronic safety features is because vehicles literally have more blind spots compared to years past. Older autos were more squared off and with larger windows in many cases. They simply had less curves. Also, many more cars are the road. Keep in mind, less people pay...
