:p:p You know what I meant.

Can I offer $5,000?

SOLD.

Sale pending.

Sale no longer pending (as far as I know). Available at this time.

FWIW, my .02. I have a 2015 90D with MCU1. My main screen had a bubble when I bought the car. Guess what? In my naive excitement of getting the car, I didn't even notice!. Fast forward ~3 months, and I go, hmm...that doesn't look right. Long story short...they replaced my screen with a new one...

For people that asked. Pictures of the wheel with the curb rash. Tesla service center said this is "cosmetic" and would be roughly $100 to fix.

ttt...Need to make space in the garage folks.

$700 picked up locally. Will ship at buyer's cost elsewhere.

Gaithersburg, Maryland.

These came from the 2015 90D I bought last year. I replaced them with 19" wheels/tires less than a month after buying the car, as carry two kids most times and the 19s are a bit better for that. These are the SQUARE setup (non-staggered). The wheels are in flawless condition with one caveat...

Still for sale. Make me an offer. Folks - I have been deployed overseas off and on for the last few months, and with this whole virus situation, things became even crazier. @Shadious had expressed serious interest in these but due to my crazy schedule, we never were able to finalize the sale...

I'd take it, but I think it's a bit expensive. They are selling a new one for $499 shipped.

Honestly, it doesn't matter. Musk is brilliant, but he cannot do everything himself. He needs to scale and that means hiring people and delegating authority/responsibility to them. Once you're past the science experiment stage, every company (and a public company more so) is the same, in terms...

I hope so too. All of this is just my thinking hat on. I'm in the tech industry as such (distantly related to the whole EV marketplace) and am well aware of the decision making process that goes on. Lemme give you an example. Engineer: Sir, this product is going to fail. CEO: When? Engineer...

Any number of ways. One way or another this is gonna get resolved. Think of it this way. Tesla decided to work on a new architecture of the battery cells/chemistry/whatever. Well...that's all right. Innovation happens with time...in general. The question is why? Why change the architecture...

I'm 100% certain this is closer to the truth than a lot of other speculation(s). Tesla will have to replace batteries and they can't/don't want to do it with the older battery architecture for a number of reasons. They are delaying things as much as they can where they're finally able to...

It is completely fair. You didn't even know if that feature will be introduced when you bought your car. Again... :) I'm not berating anybody for feeling "left behind" but that's the nature of the beast. There will always be something new that may or may not apply to your car/hardware in the...

You are? Then why did you buy a Tesla in 2017 when this feature wasn't there??

This is a "philosophical" question, rather than a "practical" question. It's not about Model S/X/3/Y/whatever. Like I said earlier, there will always be something newer/better/faster/<whatever> on the horizon. Teslas are no different from other cars in that regard (now) that people are starting...

I honestly don't get this fascination with "future upgrades/features" and "missing out" because you don't have the right hardware/MCU. Who cares?? If you absolutely want those features...and here in lies the catch...you don't even KNOW what those features are going to be, because...well..they...

huh? Why would you? It's a car...it has features and options. You bought it knowing what it has. Tesla is under NO obligation to give you "upgrades" to begin with, let alone 10-15 years.

Give them 3 chances to fix it, document the process and after that if it still hasn't been fixed, sue their ass under Lemon laws. No car's suspension should look like that. That's a disaster waiting to happen.

Ah, got it. My apologies if I misread your post. I absolutely do not expect to get "upgrades" for the next 10-15 years. Hell, if I get any upgrades at all, I'd be surprised. As far as depreciation/Tesla pricing goes...well you summed it up well. It's not a good place to be in, when you see the...

My car is apparently already left behind. I have a 2015 90D that I bought used last month. It was bought from Tesla, so it has the 4 yr warranty if something goes wrong, but do I care about "upgrades"? Not even a bit. If I cared, I'd have spent $110K instead of less than half that. This whole...

I may be in the minority but I just don't see how these things are "forcing" an upgrade. Apple introduced Haptic touch at one point, yay! you get vibrations now! Does that mean that the older phones stopped working? Nope. Can an EV (or any car as such) without sentry mode or a browser still be...

It's soldered onto the mainboard. The screen and mainboard are separate components of the MCU (in the same housing)

Think of it this way. Does an iPhone have removable storage? No. Is it soldered on? Yes. Apple could quite possibly have made the iPhone storage removable, negating the need for deciding upfront how much storage you need, but they didn't. The physical footprint of removable storage is much much...

Not disagreeing with you guys at all. The "soldered on" eMMC storage is...well...in hindsight, a somewhat bad decision. However (and don't get me wrong, I'm not defending Tesla at all) there are many many reasons why you don't want it to be removable, encryption or not. And supply chains are...

I don't how many of you are into software/hardware...but...there is a reason Tesla logs to eMMC instead of memory. Volatile vs Non-Volatile storage... It doesn't matter if it's critical/important/whatever or not. Tesla needs to make sure that the data is on non-volatile storage because...

ttt...make an offer...

Will do $800 for the tires.

Yes, the 21s I'll be taking off will be for sale as well. Silver, square, Turbines with 245/35/21 Michelin Super sports. The wheels are in perfect condition (I think Tesla refurbished the wheels before selling me the car, or the previous really really took care of the wheels). I'll measure the...

It is. If you've ever worked with computers and hardware...it's no different than swapping in a different add-in card for a laptop. And a Tesla is a computer on/with wheels.... Most of the cost is labor to actually replace it. The cost of the actual component is peanuts.

Not gonna happen... Not because I think Tesla doesn't wan't it to, but it can't.... Lest people forget...Tesla is a public company....they have shareholders....(and activist shareholders at some point...) and they have no choice. The quarterly 10K trumps everything else. They have got to make...

Hi guys, I just bought 19" wheels with tires to replace my 21" wheels/tires. These are take-off wheels/tires from an Aug 2019 delivery Model S, and the tires are what came from Tesla. The tires have <100 miles on them and are essentially brand new. I just got confirmation that the wheels...

:) Sometimes things just happen. That said, my 21" silver turbines (SQUARE setup) with Michelin Super Sport tires will be up for sale as soon as the wheels/tires I bought get delivered. In fact...I may actually throw up the tires that are coming with the 19" wheels for sale as well. These 19"...

Wheels acquired.

Well, I've had my car now for a few weeks and have driven it ~400 miles. While the 21s are absolutely awesome, and it pains me to even think about removing them, I have to. With two kids in the car frequently, it's just common sense. Once I procure 19s, the 21" silver turbines I have will be up...

What would the cost be for a complete front end in Pearl White, pre-facelift?

I wish you were closer...I'm on the east coast...

Folks - Took delivery of the car today. The wheels/tires are exactly as I have described. Spotless/flawless, and I mean it, no road rash. I've only driven them ~60 miles from the delivery center back to my house. I suspect they will get additional mileage until I'm able to trade, but that's...

Finally took delivery today in MD at the Owings Mills delivery center. In and out in ~30 minutes.

I bought the car knowing full well, the potential issues with the 90 pack. But, I was very specifically looking for pearl white/grey/rear facing seats (have 3 yr old twins), so this was about the only car that met that criteria. And yes, colors are very individualistic so that's neither here nor...
