    tri-motor Foundation Series ordered; can no longer find any delivery date from Tesla

    Ordered a Foundation Series tri-motor Cybertruck on January 2nd and was told delivery would be mid- to late-2024. Today, when logging on to Tesla.com to `Manage` my order, there is no date shown at all. 😨 Checked the Tesla App too; nothing there either. Is it normal for Tesla to show no...

    Cybertruck "Foundation series" is a fantastic exercise in economics! ... and PROFITable

    The Cybertruck "Foundation series" is a fantastic exercise in economics! ... and very profitable for Tesla! (background; I've taught university economics for 6+ yrs) TL;DR: Tesla is figuring out the market for Cybertrucks. They are necessarily doing "price discovery" here...

    I tested FSD for a month. Why would I pay Tesla to train their AI?

    I recently went on a multi-state road trip in my Model Y. Decided to test what FSD is all about. I had never done this before in 4+ yrs of Tesla driving. So I purchased a one-month FSD subscription for $200. On net, it worked rather decently on highway driving, only occasionally trying to...

    Can the end user place a Tesla Model Y into "Service mode"

    I've searched through existing threads, and am not finding a clear answer to this: Is "Service mode" something the end user can put the car into? For example, I see videos on YouTube showing service mode information from the center panel on Teslas about the cooling system, with...

    Why is the "Boom box" feature turn off when I shut either one of the two front doors?

    I don't understand why the "Boom box" feature shuts off completely when I get out of the car and shut either one of the front doors. Want to listen while working in my garage and nearby patio. Has anyone on TMC written a bottom-up "user's manual" for how Boom box works, and how to best get the...

    Tesla insurance: abysmal service via phone

    The good news I've had Tesla Insurance for 5 months now; generally happy with it. Their initial estimate of monthly cost, based on a SafetyScore of 90, was a slightly better price than our existing insurance. Over months 3, 4 and 5, our better safety score brought the cost down a little more, so...

    What inverters work with the 16 volt Tesla low voltage power socket?

    The Tesla owners manual says that after Nov 2021, "power inverters plugged into the low voltage power socket must support 16 V DC to function." Who has found a manufacturer of a good inverter for use in our newer Teslas? The unit I had bought a few years ago & used in my Model 3 does not...

    Has anyone connected Model Y A/C to the console to cool beverages/food?

    Has anyone connected Model Y A/C to the console to cool beverages/food? It seems that the A/C supply for the rear seats runs right through the front console (under, or around, it?). Has anybody tried to connect some of that cold air to filter though the console so it might chill food, or...

    Where should we discuss US tax incentives in the infrastructure bill currently being debated in Congress?

    What is the best subforum (or existing thread) for following the 2Q2021 infrastructure EV purchase tax incentive policy debate in the US?

    What is the best thread for following the following the 2Q2021 infrastructure EV purchase tax incentive policy debate for the US? I was surprised not to find a thread on it in this subforum (Energy, Environment, and Policy), so maybe there is a better place for it?

    Where is the proper forum to discuss Model 3 "used vehicle" sales? It doesn't seem to be included within the scope listed for this "Ordering/Production/Delivery" area... but I cannot find where such content should go. Thanks for the help!

    Your Model 3 Standard Range (is being software limited)

    Many of us who ordered base model Model 3s, the "Standard Range" or SR RWD version, right after Tesla first made them available, were delivered Model 3 SR+ battery packs (240 mile range) and SR+ software, giving us truly 240 mile range. I received my Model 3 on 18 April, and I've charged to...
