Hi everyone - I was supposed to take delivery of my MYP yesterday, but it was downpouring rain during my delivery so it was impossible to inspect the car even superficially. That said, Tesla refused to budge on the delivery date and said that the car "needs to be placed back in the pool". I...

How does a new car get curb rash on one of the wheels? It sounds like they are trying to pawn a demo off on you without calling it a demo.

Sure I'd love to. First off, you mention Land Rover, which are also bottom of the barrel for leasing due to their horrible residual value, so I'm throwing that right out the window :) As for why Tesla is bad? It's a litany of things really, but I'll start with the fact that they only offer...

one thing I’ve quickly learned is that Tesla leases are the worst in the industry. I can’t believe they can get away with some of these numbers.

As someone who has leased cars forever, I'm choosing to finance. The Tesla lease program is by far the worst I've ever seen from a mainstream manufacturer - high MF / interest rate, closed-end, low residual value, etc. If battery tech advances that much over the next 2-3 years (which it...

Talked to my CEM earlier today and he said that the new headlights are an MYP exclusive and there are no plans for them to trickle down to other models. As always, take it with a grain of salt, but this guy has always been pretty on point.

Yep, I think I'm going to do the full front PPF + rear impact areas and then supplement that with the mudflaps. Hopefully that will cover me.

Just went through a test driving grand tour over the last week or so. Took out the M3P, MYP and a LR with boost. First things first, the LR with boost is very fast, but still feels significantly slower than the two Perf models. It isn't even close. As for the M3P / MYP comparison, the M3P...

Hello - I pick up my MYP next week, so I have been getting quotes on PPF. I've currently landed on getting the full front done along with the rear impact areas. That said, I asked the installer if we should also do the rockers and he said "there's no reason to do the rockers, they are just...

Alright, you convinced me - blue MYP has been ordered and I already have a VIN! I should pick it up next week. I'm blaming ALL of you if I don't like it!!! j/k ;)

I've found their trade-in values to be consistently bad. Usually 20-30% lower than what you'd normally get through Vroom, Carvana, etc.

I apologize if I missed it, but is the SR "gone forever" at this point or will they eventually bring it back?

As someone who is the same way and was going through the same decision process, I decided to just finance it. As of now, resale value on the Ys is very high, so I think you actually get more flexibility out of a finance than a lease. BMW, Mercedes, etc. lease all the way because the inverse is...

Thanks, I just reached out to them asking the same. I will keep you guys posted.

Yes, this would be through Tesla.

Hi all - does anyone know if it is possible to do a zero down finance through Tesla? It keeps defaulting to $4500 down for me, so I wasn't sure if that was just the standard, or an actual hardline amount. I'm in PA if that makes a difference.

I really appreciate all of the insight everyone, great stuff! One of the reasons that I also wanted to upsize was because I'm tired of the ridiculous ground clearance in my M3 and having to slowly creep in and out of certain incline/declines. That said, how do you all feel about the clearance...

It's funny, I actually had this option checked off originally, but with two little ones, I decided to go with black.

I appreciate the candor everyone, great insights. I never hold my cars for very long, usually three to four years max (in fact I was toying with leasing the YP until I heard that they were closed-end). It sounds like the consensus here is a slight lean towards the BMW, so I'll definitely...

Hi everyone - going through somewhat of a dilemma right now. I'm a serial BMW M3 owner whose F80 lease is coming end of term. I despise the looks of the new generation M3, so that has turned my attention to other models. I've basically narrowed things down to either the BMW X3M Competition or...

Yeah I was shocked. I knew there would be a wait, but that seems extreme.

Hi everyone, I'm in the process of trying to order a Model Y Performance, but I was told by our local dealership that it will be at least 3 months, if not more for any custom orders. That said, they do have a 2021 demo with ~800 miles on it in the exact spec that I want. I'm not sure that I...

I'm actually debating the same thing myself, as I'm about to pull the trigger on a Model 3 P, but I don't want the early adopter penalty. That said, is there anything else that might be added besides updated auto pilot? As that's not something that I was looking to add anyway.

Hello, I'm seriously considering picking up a Model 3 Performance when my current car is off lease next month. That said, my one complaint about the Model 3 Performance is its relative lack of differentiation from the base model. I think I can get over that fact, but I would hate to purchase...

Hey there! Fellow F80 M3 owner here that is looking at potentially picking up the Model 3 Performance. How do you like the Tesla in comparison? My only hesitation atm, is the fact that you really can't tell any of the trim levels apart (as minor a quibble as that may be). Love your...

Greetings, I'm new to the forum and potentially new to Tesla as well. The Model 3 Performance is on the short list of cars that I'm looking at and I was hoping to get some opinions on the car from former drivers of the aforementioned performance brands. I have been a German car guy for the...
