So sad what Tesla has evolved into. How the mighty have fallen...

Are you happy with that decision? How's the Raven holding up?

Thanks y'all. Some mixed opinions but definitely some good food for thought on both sides of the isle.

Also, I forgot about the $1,875 that is still remaining on the tax credit which would help on the new X. Hmmm...

In WA you are taxed on the difference in value between your trade-in and the new car. So a new X is 85k and with 28k value on my 3 I would only be taxed on 57k.

I have a March 2019 Model 3 in excellent condition that I paid cash for. 4,000 miles later, and after the announcement of Raven, I'm considering trading my 3 for a new X. I paid $37k for the 3 (standard range plus). Tesla made me an offer today of $28k for the 3 (appreciating asset, huh?)...

For someone who wants to lecture others on "finances," I do find it interesting that you made the decision to purchase a Tesla without doing research on this long established pattern. Or you knew about the pattern and bought anyway, but then behaved this way when the pattern repeated (which is...

Still waiting. Will pull trigger as soon as this feature is finally rolled out.

I have two model 3s and a Taptes wireless charger in each of them. The ship time is understandably slow, but I think it's worth it. Both chargers have been working great for us. They look good and the price was right. I've also ordered a few things from AO in the past for my S (magnetic...

I stopped by this weekend and looked around. No change.

Stopped by yesterday and shot a quick video.

Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus now gets Streaming, Satellite Maps, and Web? Just got into my SR+ and noticed these new features after an update. Anyone else have this?

Elon said you'll be able to opt in or out of the Tesla Network (robotaxi service) when it becomes available. It won't be mandatory.

Still one more thing I have to remember to grab on the way out and be responsible for. Walking out with a smartphone only (which also holds my ID and credit card) is just amazing.

Didn't Musk say around May of 2018 that it would be rolling out to S and X "soon"? What's with the delay? It's the only thing holding me back from pulling the trigger.

Sorry if this has already been asked/answered recently. Does anyone know if new model S and X are shipping with the ability to use your phone as a key via bluetooth like model 3? I'm not talking about the data connection required keyless driving from the app. I'm considering ordering one but...

Does anyone know if new model S and X are shipping with the ability to use your phone as a key? I'm considering ordering one but I love having a keyless life and I don't want to be forced to carry around a fob (feels very old). My model 3 works great with just my smart phone and I hope for the...

It happened again just this afternoon, which is number 3. I'm hoping that as I drive the car more the issue will dissipate. Or maybe the issue will be solved for the rest of us outliers in the next patch.

Nope. Just took delivery of a March 2019 SR+ and this issue has already happened to me twice. I'm on 2019.5.15. VIN is 297k.

Just an FYI - after talking with Tesla again about their low offer, remarkably they did come up significantly, to the point that the math worked in favor of just doing the trade-in through Tesla instead of messing with Carmax or private party. The convenience of dropping off the car and...

Thanks dudes. I have seen a lot of posts about Tesla matching Carmax, but I guess all of those cases must have been for non-Tesla trade-ins. Thanks again.

Title says it all. Decided to pull the trigger last night on a Model 3 before the price increase Monday. Tesla valued my Model S trade-in significantly lower than Carmax. Told the rep this morning when they called to confirm and they told me they do not match Carmax on Teslas. Has anyone...

I actually really like the forum posts because they are often times more informative than the EV news sites. But maybe an option to filter them out for the folks who want more traditional articles instead. Been using this as my homepage and I'm very happy with it. Thank you again!

Thank you for doing this! It's probably going to be my homepage. Is it possible to add InsideEVs to the list, only pulling their Tesla material?

Correction, the second charging space is a NEMA 14-30, not a 14-50.

I paid Tesla $3k to upgrade my 70D to 75D over the air. 6 months later they dropped the price to $500. I didn't b1tch. I understood that is a risk you take when you buy a depreciating asset. And I didn't buy this depreciating asset because it was wise financially. I bought it to support...

I traveled through Forks again today and did a thorough search (Thriftway, Dew Drop Inn, Visitor's Center, etc). No Supercharger activity. I asked staff at the Dew Drop Inn and the Forks Visitor's Center and no one had heard much. However, I did take some pictures of a good spot directly...

Good.

No activity 2 months ago when I drove through. I'm planning another trip out that way next month. Will report back with any findings.

Sorry if this has already been asked/answered, but I'm curious if someone can explain the point of "Custom Driver Profiles" on the base $35k version with "Manual Seats and Steering Column"? Obviously it won't change the seat or steering between profiles if they aren't powered, so I'm wondering...

I live in WA and used Alliant Credit Union out of Chicago to get 1.99% on my S back in the day. I really hope those legendary numbers can be reached again with the 3.

I've seen a few fights at superchargers, usually by seemingly very entitled people who "have somewhere to be" and somehow assume that their time/business is more important than everyone else's. One guy even made demeaning statements about "those Model 3 types," as if they were peasants and he...

While traveling across the country I required important emergency service on my out of warranty Model S (damage caused by a faulty windshield install that Safelite did in Vancouver, WA). I took my car to the Indianapolis, Indiana service center. I had a deadline to maintain in order to make it...

Made a video using Mobius ActionCam dashcam footage from one of my Tesla road trips and thought I'd share it here in case anyone is interested. Some of the changes in topography are neat. Most of the trip was handled by Autopilot. From western Washington to central Indiana in less than 18...

My car has free supercharging for life so I'm cool with it.

Drove through today and checked the usual areas. Zero signs of any Supercharger activity.

I plan on rolling through sometime in January and charging at the usual Tesla destination charger at Quileute River Resort in La Push (48 amp!). I'll do some checking and report back if there is anything of note to report. Find Us | Tesla

I feel like I'm back in undergrad and sitting in the mandatory Trolling 101 class.

In the market to trade for an X in 6 months to a year, but towing my Airstream is important to me and 300 miles of EPA range while towing is just not quite enough for me to be comfortable. I agree with the post above about 400 EPA miles and V3 supercharging being the sweet spot in this...

7 seat bucket seat configuration all day for one very important reason: Camper mode!

Just spent the weekend traveling around the Olympic Peninsula again. No Supercharger activity in Forks still. Put the car in camper mode and used the Tesla charger just outside of Forks at the Quileute River Resort. Worked perfectly and gave me a full charge as usual.

I'm in a similar boat, ready to pull the trigger on a new MX soon but I'm waiting for 3 things: Demonstrated ability to achieve some AP features that are superior to AP1. I'm not talking about a BS sales video like the one from fall 2016 - I'm talking about an actual review from a customer...

The Tesla destination charger at the Quillayute River Resort next to Forks is open to the public. It's a beautiful area to top up. We called them last weekend and rolled in around 11:00pm with about 10% charge. Put the car in camper mode and had a full charge by morning.

May 2016 here and over 80k miles. Mine have failed twice. Tesla replaced the first time under warranty but want around $1k to replace one of them outside of warranty. Just decided to keep range mode on all the time so I don't really have to notice it. Doesn't really affect anything anyway.

Yeah he also promised the ability to set the threshold for cabin climate protection coming up on 2 years ago. Not another word about it since fall 2016.

@PLUS EV - Curious what you disagree with about my findings from yesterday?

I just drove through Forks and checked the suspected areas for supercharger or EV station activity. Nothing.

Anyone think it will be available by the end of the year? That's 1.5 years into production.

Hey all, Sorry if this is a stupid question but I can't find a clear answer anywhere. And maybe that's because no one really knows right now. But in the event that someone out there does know, or is capable of making a "reasonable guess," I thought I would ask the question. When will the...

A little off topic, but I wanted to say that I have a 2016 Tesla 75D and a 2017 Chevy Bolt. In 9 months of ownership, I've taken the Bolt to a service center exactly once - and that was for a free routine tire rotation. No other issues at all. In my first 9 months of Tesla ownership, I took...
