    MS Plaid vs Taycan vs EQS

    When I test drove a long range, it had the 80mph vibration and that honestly stopped me from ordering. Still does. The sales guy called me a few days later to check in and see if I was ready to order and I told him no because of the vibration issue, he reassured me that it was simply the tires...

    It does if you plan on selling in a couple of years.

    New Roadster versus Lotus Type 135

    I know looks are subjective but ..yikes! That’s just plain ugly, looks like someone took a Bugatti Chiron and added an amazon wide body kit.

    Often? Post one example of a Tesla reaching a million miles on its original battery.

    Tesla price increase round just started

    What rebate are you talking about? The prices are “normal” the plaid is a 90k car. The long range is a 75k car. Sales haven’t exactly exploded since the price drop which means they’re right where they need to be with the price to continue selling at a steady rate.

    Wish they’d offer free unlimited supercharging on all new orders.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Probably not. But don’t discount the psychological difference, a 2024 will hold value better than a 2023 because no one is going to care that a 2023 was a few days short of becoming a 2024. All they’ll see is a car thats “a year” newer.

    That’s hard to believe, I paid more than that when I lived in a 1 bedroom apartment, albeit it’s California, but still.

    Californians getting absolutely violated with these gas prices. I was in Texas, near Witchita Falls, in late July, price was 3.39 Was there again a week ago, 3.29 and a bit north west saw 3.19

    Tesla drops prices on X/S $20k. All colors free. Bye bye resale

    Facts. I personally would always choose the lower mileage model even if it’s older Miles = wear and tear

    Tesla drops prices on X/S $20k. All colors free. Bye bye resale

    None of the other automakers are under the microscope to deliver as many units as possible. The model s was over priced at 100k for a long range. It’s not a 100k car, the price was adjusted with the market. And yes I have seen dealers tack on 15-20 grand on top of MSRP anytime a hot in demand...

    Tesla drops prices on X/S $20k. All colors free. Bye bye resale

    Dropping prices, pissing off current owners, how exactly are those two things “all about $ and nothing else”? The price of the car fluctuates with the market. If demand is hot, Tesla takes advantage, when demand is low they can’t afford to keep building cars and piling them up in storage lots...

    A new plaid for 60k? Highly unlikely.

    Tesla drops prices on X/S $20k. All colors free. Bye bye resale

    40k price drop is a meaningless number without knowing the profit margin per vehicle. Tesla could have been bending the customers over and cashing in on every penny they could while the market was hot. The market has cooled off significantly, Tesla had no choice but to adjust accordingly.

    For the life of me I can’t figure out whats happening. 96,490 is the current price of the plaid with upgraded wheels and yoke.

    Tesla drops prices on X/S $20k. All colors free. Bye bye resale

    I’m not so sure Tesla cares about having “flagship” models. If they did, they’d fix the vibration issues their “flagship” models are experiencing.

    This, plus they’re hoping Tesla raises the prices so they don’t take a major loss.

    I actually like the gear selector being touch buttons on the center console. Better than on the screen

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

    I wouldn’t mind the 38-42mph vibration, but the 80mph one is more than a little annoying as it’s around the speed I cruise at on my way to work. Same! That’s the speed I’m driving the most on my way to work, 75-80mph. Wish Tesla would look into it further, whatever they changed messed things...

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

    Test drove a refresh long range today, tried my best to make it vibrate around the 38-48 mph range, couldn’t feel anything. However the vibration at 75+ was pretty bad. At 80 it felt like a tire was out of balance, that vibration is very annoying. I was all set to place an order for an...

    Supercharger - Roseville, CA - Freedom Way (LIVE 31 Aug 2023, 24 V3 stalls)

    That’s a Tesla Roadster, not sure what you mean by “smelly, noisy and slow dinosaur car” it’s actually pretty quick, very quiet and not old enough to be referred to as dinosaur. As far as smelly, I wasn’t there so I can’t comment on how it smells.

    Nah, he’s not crazy, he’s just super rich and has a teenagers sense of humor. I’d be trolling everyone as well if I were as rich as him.. and I’m certainly not crazy, …according to the voices in my head.

    Model S stuck on the playa

    Not if it’s a turo rental, if I’m not mistaken turo will handle retrieval and then bill the renter for the costs. Middle of nowhere Nevada…not many tow truck companies, I can’t even begin to guess what the cost will be. I guess they can get a company out of sparks to go get it, or maybe...

    You do this for free? Now that the site is charging a 5 dollar fee (in some cases) to list a car for sale, I think you need to request your share of the millions of dollars that are pouring in!

    Model S Plaid huge depreciation

    I respectfully disagree, the Porsche Taycan in carmine red is just stunning. Maybe I’m just jaded with the model s but the Taycan looks better.

    Push me or hold me back: trade in 2019 MS for Sept 2023 MS?

    They really don’t, they don’t have the staff or the space to deal with used cars. When I returned my lease they drove it to Mannheim the next day. The person doing the inspection at Tesla just walked around the car and looked inside and sent me on my way. I got the final bill and they didn’t...

    I’m not sure that’s a hertz vehicle, most likely turo. Either way it’s gonna need a nice deep clean.

    I highly doubt anyone at the local service center knew the price was going to be lowered the next day. You’d be surprised how little they know.

    Model S Plaid huge depreciation

    You should put “some” of its customers. I think many, like myself, are happy about the price drop. In this economy? It’s fantastic to see such a meaningful drop

    Market value for Plaid

    This is my plan! As soon as I find an ultra red plaid in the 75k range, I’m going for it. The depreciation from that point forward will be nice and slow.

    Market value for Plaid

    Not all insurance companies pay for a “replacement” what they pay you is market value of the vehicle and the market value has taken a major hit. since they are completely upside down on the loan, the market value amount might not be enough to cover the balance of the loan, and with no gap...

    This is a must as you want to protect yourself from someone totaling your car. And honestly just accept the fact that you’re stuck with the car for a while.
