    Lucid

    Has anyone checked out recent pricing incentives on 23 Lucis stock? Leases on grand torung models are under 1200 bucks per month not including 2k conquest cash, don't know brands but certainly assume tesla is part of it. The pricing for purchases is more than 20k off, although I'm becoming...

    Tax Credit on Model X

    I read that tesla is applying the credit at POS if you qualify. Is that true? Website seems to have same language but if it's true my youngest child needs a Model X. Kind of.

    GAF Solar roof tiles

    Has anyone here tried GAF or any other of the competitive to Tesla solar roof tiles? I know there’s a few others e.g. Luma, SunTegra. I’m am working with third parties on various roofing options but will have to use a power wall compatible inverter.

    Does Tesla Roadster battery replacement

    Does Tesla still do the 3.0 battery replacements? I’ve seen a couple with failed batteries but didn’t want to consider it if there is no chance at replacement.

    Need help selecting OEM size 2020 MYP tires.

    I need to get some new tires for my MYP and see that in OEM tires are the Pirellis PZ4 and the Michelin pilot sports all season tires. I’m bringing this particular car back from FL to NJ so was leaning toward the all seasons but if they are not good tires I will go with the PZ4 summer tires...

    New Model S

    PIcking up a new Model S for my wife and she couldn't be happier. Our lease expired and I regretted not buying it out but with the price cut I am happy to get a 2023 LR for her again. She is an EV only person and while she enjoys her Taycan when in FL she does prefer the Model S.

    Ubertine wheels and tires

    What’s the approx value of a set? I’m picking up a Y in a week or so and I’m not a fan. I have them on my 2020 MYP but my wife will be driving this one. I’m prob gonna go 20” for her. I’m going to pull them off when I get it home, so let’s say a few 100 miles in the set.

    Just ordered a second Y

    I ordered a 3 Perf back in the spring and really enjoy it. My oldest daughter needed a car and I got this one at such a good price I had to let her have it. I couldn’t see her getting smoked at some car dealership and she was always hinting around that she wanted “buy“ the model 3. So I guess...

    Anyone have an electric motorcycle?

    There seems to be more and more choice becoming available. If you have one, which one, and what do you think? I sold my turbo Road King and may get an electric bike to cruise around by the beach.

    Price increase? [posted 06.16.2022]

    It appears that Tesla raised prices again? My M3P reservation is at 58,990 plus 3k red paint and white interior.

    Replacing the Uber Heavy wheels M3P

    I'm still waiting to pickup my M3P and I am not a fan of the Ubertine wheels. I think they're heavy, decent styling and make for a tiny sidewall tire. I them on the MYP but I'll be driving this M3 more so I'd love to hear some thoughts on some 20" wheel tire combos that look good on the Perf.

    EV Insurance

    I am looking at the price of my insurance vs comparably priced ICE vehicles. For example I would consider a GLB35 AMG vs a MY long range, similar price and function. The Tesla is 500 bucks more per year. I'm about to pick up a third EV and I am wondering if other carriers have better rates on...

    2021 vs 2022 MY

    I can get a 21 CPO model Y from my local Tesla rather than wait. The 21 is only slightly cheaper than waiting for the 22. It looks as new 5100 miles and ready to go now. Are there any updates between 21 and 22 that are worth waiting for?

    Model 3 leasing

    Does anyone know the residuals and money factors that Tesla Lease trust uses for the Model 3 lineup? I'm trying to decide whether to lease or finance the car. I'd keep 3 years, most likely, either way but I wanted to analyze the lease to figure out what the interest rate is and what they...

    Model 3 performance ride quality

    I have a model Y PUP (2020) and I have to admit it’s a bit harsh. I’m looking at adding another car and looking at the Polestar 2 Perf. I have yet to drive a M3P but I think I’ve read here the ride quality is poor. So two questions, is it? Is the LR ride much better? I can get a new demo...

    Am I crazy

    I really like the design if the Model X but never bought one because our first Tesla was for my wife and she preferred the sedan, so S it was. The second we purchased was a Y PUP because we have 3 kids that visit and everyone always seems to need to go somewhere this we needed a spare and we...

    Motor Trend Rivian test drive

    Setec-power to Tesla Adapter

    I bought and never used a Setec power adapter for CCS2 to tesla for DC fast charging from non-tesla super chargers. I took it out of the box, updated the firmware, and put it back in the box. They sell new for $660 and I'll sell this one for $530. I can send pictures to anyone who is...

    Think I’m gonna buy a Taycan

    I wondered onto the lot at a local Porsche dealer and saw a nice Taycan 4s pretty well equipped and stupidly drove it. I have two others GT3s so I’m no stranger to the p-cars. It drove wonderfully to the point I put a deposit on it to think about it till Monday. The primary function of this...

    Who has had/having their roadster deposit refunded

    I was going to out a deposit on a Roadster quite some time ago (early 2018) and thought better of the 50k interest free loano especially after getting opinions here. Given the roadster was being built in 2017 (we‘re building them now quote) and it’s now mid-2021 with no relief insight. Has...

    I'm starting to doubt I'll be getting an electric truck.....

    Any time in the near future. I've put a deposit on all of them. I have an order in which I prefer them but it's not enough so that I wouldn't buy the first one that arrives. There's been no news that gives me comfort that the Cybertruck (favorite choice) will start deliveries end of this year...

    Generac PwrCell

    Does anyone have an understand of the pros/cons of PwrCell vs Pw2? Is it true that you can not use PwrCell with micro inverters vs a single Solar Edge inverter? It seems the largest is about 18kW which I've gotten a price for 23k installed. The issue is I keeping coming back to is that 3 PW 2...

    Enphase vs solar edge inverter(s) [String vs Microinverters?]

    I find a local installer who can do the same system as Tesla for about 7k more. They are using the same Hanwha 340 panels and powerwalls. I’m curious if they’re the local Tesla installer given the gear they are offering. The real question is they are willing to do n-phase micro inverters or...

    I’ve been speaking to some local installers

    While I’m waiting for a date from Tesla I have been investigating some locals. One of which is only about 10k more than Tesla with slightly more capacity and 3 PW+. I’d actually consider using them except every local installer I call cannot get any batteries. PW are the longest lead but...

    Thoughts on additional power walls

    I’m in process on a 12.24kW system with three power walls at a cost of 48100 before incentives. I see how difficult it is to add power walls after the fact due to scarcity and Tesla requiring additional panels with the power wall. I’d really like to extend my reserve storage / backup storage...

    Power Wall charging question

    I was looking at the Generac Powercell battery as an alternative to power walls. The big feature they are pushing is off grid charging from your solar in case of a grid outage. Do Power walls not have the ability to charge when solar is available during the day and the grid is out? Sorry for...

    Sunpower Solar

    Last year I priced out solar from Tesla and Sunpower and then never got around to completing it. I kind of regret it because I was willing to pay the additional money to Sunpower for fear of Tesla doing a bad job and then giving me poor customer service. Fast forward a year and I really want...

    S plaid + cancellation implications on CT

    Elon say plaid is just so awesome but I’m guessing the battery tech is not developing as planned. Given the big difference between plaid and the + was mostly the 520 mile range what does this mean for the CT? As an aside I had a plaid + on preorder with my CT. Now I fear I won’t see the CT...

    Cybertruck delivery price

    Is there a chance Tesla will not sell these trucks for the prices being published today? Now that GM has introduced the Hummer for 60% more than the Cybertruck is it realistic Tesla can produce the top end truck for 69k as offered? I’m not familiar with Tesla’s pre-order pricing versus actual...

    Any live wire owners here?

    I have a road king but I am considering a Livewire because I’m really hooked on electric drive. The owners in the Harley forums seem to like them but weeding through all the nonsense with faux outlaws and loud pipe comments is tough. Since most people here are BEV enthusiasts I thought I could...

    Ordered my MS Plaid

    Those are some crazy specs. Getting black this time, wife’s preference. I’m guessing it’ll be more than a year but who cares as long as it’s ready before the lease expires in this one.

    Tesla Mobile Service

    I had mobile service come out due to the wing on the Y PUP not being affixed correctly and a frunk sensor that reported that the frunk would be open randomly. He replaced the wing (probably could've added a touch adhesive in the one corner) and changed out the sensor without any issues right in...

    Checked an independent installer

    While I’m waiting for Tesla to redo my design based on all the equipment being in the wrong place I called a local installer. There very highly reviewed, Sea Bright Solar, and they are a Tesla certified installer. The guy was immediately honest that they could compare in the cost per watt with...

    Question regarding a sub panel

    I need to run a sub panel to a detached structure for my pool and for my charging station. I have a pending solar order (permits are done waiting for utility). The battery walls will go in this structure so I am assuming the inverters will go there as well. There will be a 50 trench back to...

    No Model Y today

    A bit disappointing as I was on my way to the SC to pick up my MY and get a call that it hasn't made it from Brooklyn, NY to Springfield, NJ (20 miles) in more than a week. Oh, well it's a bit disappointing but the bigger issue is we have one car for four people living in the house--not optimal.

    Tesla charging adapters

    I see Tesla’s J1772 adapter is only able to provide ~19kW charging speeds. Is there a 3rd party adapter that will provide better charging speeds? I’m just looking for more diverse options in the event there is lack of supercharger during a trip.

    Parking assist

    I have a 2020 S with FSD and after reading the manual cannot seem to get the parking assistant to activate. I pulled into an empty lot with clear lined spots and followed the instructions in the manual on page 114 and nothing. Any pro-tips from the folks here?

    Question about model 3 order in NJ

    I’m in the process of configuring a model 3, turns out they are 8-12 weeks wait, so I looked for in stock vehicles to match my configuration and found two in NYC-metro and one in DC with no delivery charge to my home in Monmouth county, NJ. However, the configured vehicles show a $5,000.00...

    Tesla modified my PW output and I may cancel

    I may need to cancel. The original agreement was 45 kW continuous power and 63 kW surge. Now I’m being told 15 kW and 21 kW surge. That doesn’t seem like it’s going to handle very much of the load. Both configurations have a 121.5 kWh storage capacity. It’s quite disappointing.

    Does anyone finance their panels?

    The interest rate seems reasonably high at 4.99. I’m inclined to pay the 41,000 in cash (I’ll get 10,500 in fed tax credit) so really 31,000 considering I’d have to pay the taxes anyway. It’s for an 11.34kW system and 3 power walls. It’s a decent chunk of dough but I’d like to hear why others...

    Excessive battery drain....I think

    I haven’t driven my MS for 3 days but battery has drained 38 miles or more 14% of what I left it charged at. It’s running software version 2020.16.2.1and like older models there is no settings for energy savings. Am I missing something or is losing 12-13 miles overnight in spring weather...

    Thinking of ordering a model Y

    I’m thinking of getting a model Y for my three kids to share when they spend time with us at the Jersey shore. I’m thinking of getting the performance but without the brake, wheel and lowered suspension. This way I still get the longer range but the faster car. Has anyone ordered a perf...

    Ordered Tesla Solar

    I ordered a 15.12kw and 4 power walls. The house isn't big so it may be overkill but I really want to make sure that my back up power is acceptable. I'd like to be able to run pretty much everything in an outage (A/C, hot water, fridge, charge car, etc). It's really exciting as I've always...

    what gives on software uodate?

    I have my car connected to my home wifi as of yesterday. Prior to connecting to wifi it said there's a software update available. So this morning I get in the car and it appears maps updated but I'm still on version 9 and it says my software is up to date. What gives?

    Renting vs buying Tesla solar and battery wall.

    I really like the idea of solar panels and power wall storage. I just purchased a new home and considered doing a NG Gererac Gerardo which would be roughly 12,000 installed. According to the Tesla estimator my cost, after tax savings, would be 33,xxx or rental for 150 / month. If I paid...
