Hardware 4 was included in cars in early 2024 so it is highly likely that any demo S being sold now would include HW 4.

One other thing to keep in mind. Do you travel with your mobile charger? If so, there is a small convenience factor and wear and tear factor of plugging and unplugging the charger and putting it away each time. For 9 years I did this but 2 years ago I got a HPWC and have found using it...

Thanks

Now that Rob Mauer from Tesla Daily has retired. Where are you getting good Tesla analysis?

I don't agree. They need to get to large scale production of the new components. Using this architecture in the Y will reduce cost for Y and reduce component costs. Now that they have completed the engineering they will be able to implement the architecture fairly easily when they redesign...

The benefit to using 48v architecture in the redesigned Y would be to get to economies of scale on all the electrical components currently being produced for the cybertruck. By adding the new architecture to the Y would immediately lower costs for both the Y and the Cybertruck. Tesla...

Good afternoon. I am picking up my Model SLR with 21" Arachnid wheels on Monday. I have had issues with rim rash on past cars and I am looking for recommendations on which wheel protection product I should buy. Thanks for your help!

I can't cite any articles but there have been many. I can speak from 10 years of experience with Tesla vehicles and will tell you that limiting your daily charge to 50% is unnecessary. The research has shown that you should not, on a regular basis be charging to 100% or regularly discharge...

What are you trying to accomplish? Yes, the vehicle should be plugged in every night, this is best practice. If you are concerned about battery degradation, don't be. I have owned 4 Teslas over the last 10 years and have found that the best way to have the range you want when you want it and...

This is not the end of the world and your battery will be fine. When this has happened to me in the past I would run the climate for 30 minutes to an hour to use up some of the excess energy. Most of the damage to the battery is done when it sits for too long at a high state of charge.

I've been a Tesla owner for 8 years now, on my 4th vehicle. On a daily basis I would not recommend charging 10 100%. I think your best bet is to 1- Charge to 90% and make sure you pre-condition each morning, 2- Plan to stop at one of the SC on the way home for 5 minutes or so to top off your...

It's amazing the amount of ignorance there is out there. Next, you will be told that special water is needed to wash the car because regular water will cause a short!

Yes that will work. An alternative is to set the nav to a point on your preferred route and then as you approach the waypoint change your destination to your actual destination.

You can navigate directly to the Supercharger, if you choose to bypass preconditioning simply tap the screen where it indicates the car is preconditioning, it will stop. Preconditioning is not intended to save energy but to save time. Preconditioning before charging at home is not necessary...

I've used the Mobile Charger with a NEMA 14-50 outlet for almost 8 years and have been perfectly happy with the results. As you noted the only issue is that I need to remember to take the charger with me if I am doing a road trip.

Does A Better Route Planner allow you to indicate the times you would like to stop for a meal? If it does this it would calculate longer charge times during meal times and could even select supercharger locations that have better meal options.

Ok, let's change the dynamic from talking about how the stock will react to S&P inclusion to what happens afterward. I think we all will agree that TSLA will only rise through 12/23. How high, we will see. Moving post-inclusion, I am looking at 3 periods. 1- 12/23 - 12-31 - During this...

This is an interesting set of choices. I think it is best to look at ranking the options by how much "wear" each puts on the battery which contributes to range degradation. The worst option is to charge to 100% on a regular basis. With that said, 1 - 2 x per month is not a major concern. The...

This has been a consistent issue for me. If I am driving with my phone on the charger I often forget to take my phone with me. It would be nice if there were an option for the forgetful drivers to enable an audible signal when the driver leaves the car and closes the drivers door with the phone...

That's great. How were you able to confirm that these items were included? I pick up on Sunday.

I asked my sales advisor. I haven't seen the car yet. I do believe the build date is on a sticker on the door frame.

What is your build date? Vin's are not sequential. I am picking up my Y on Sunday. Build date is June 7th. Vin is 9xxx.

By any chance did you note the build date?

When did you order? I am waiting to pick mine up in Mt. Kisco as well. Ordered last October and still haven’t received a vin.

This seems incorrect. The NYSERDA rebate program requires ownership of 36 months to be eligible. If the car is sold before 36 months then the owner is required to refund part of the rebate. Additionally, the dealer has 60 days after the sale to apply for the funds from NYSERDA. If Tesla...

I was there yesterday. It appears 4 stations are still not operational and there are no bags or other indications that they are out of service. Use the 4 closest to the exit.

Yes. As far as Tesla is concerned a non-Tesla loan is cash.

If you are looking for US delivery you probably can factor in some number of pre-orders are for Europe and Asia and will be moved to the end of the queue.

This just means that there is no estimated date. Once the MY starts shipping you will have an option to wait (indefinitely) or convert to a configuration that is scheduled for production. I don't have any idea what this would do to your place in line though.

Travelers NYC 2015 85D $1095 6 months

I have not ordered yet but will early next year. My Model Y will replace my 2015 Model S 85D.

Tax credit should sunset for all manufacturers as EV penetration reaches sustainable levels. Maybe when EV’s hit 5% of new car sales or some other metric common to all auto makers.

I've planned several trips and have found that for long trips the in car nav is not sufficient. Try using EV Trip Planner this seems to be more accurate.

This location baffles me. Not close to any major artery.

This is a good visualization but you really need to look at YOY. There are big fluctuations by month within a quarter.

Thanks all. My Model 3 has been sold.

We are moving and I am forced to choose between my two children, my Model S or my Model 3. Although I enjoy driving the 3 a little more than the S, I am selling the 3 as I need the hatchback option to travel with my dog. My loss is your opportunity! Details- Midnight Silver Metallic, 18" Aero...

Selling a spare Model S Key Fob from my 2013 Model S which I traded in over 2 years ago. Fob is in good condition just needs reprogramming and possibly a new battery. $65 shipping included

How much did you pay?

I have one I can sell you. It is 3 years old and I used it only once.

Before tax. See invoice.

That is how the Federal Credit works. The NYS rebate is deducted from the cost of the car. Much better this way as you don't have to wait a year to recognize the credit!

Your final documents will reflect the rebate. The $2000 comes right off the purchase price.

The $2000 was deducted from the cost of the vehicle.

I took delivery in Mt Kisco 2 weeks ago and received the full $2000 rebate.

Several years ago I did a college trip to Boston with my S and chose the Kimpton Marlowe as there was a charger in the garage of the hotel. Today that is not so important. There are 3 Superchargers in Boston that you can easily access. In additon, there are numerous Superchargers between NYC...

I configured on 1/6 and still waiting for VIN. Looks like Tesla will miss their 4 week window for me.

Almost the exact same scenario except I confirmed my order on 1/6 and still have heard nothing.

Stopped in at the Mount Kisco Sales Office this morning just to see if they knew of any customers who were invited to configure. Not only did they know of some, they have actually delivered 5 vehicles to non-employees! They didn't have very much additional information. When i told them I am a...
