I absolutely loved my Volt. It was the car that convinced me to go full Electric. The Tesla was next and had several of those for the next 9 years. Still love the PHEV concept and think that would be the smart thing to do to start convincing the 90% that still aren't willing to switch over. If...

Surprised this hasn't received more comments from the Tesla community. Thought for sure it would bring out some widely varying opinions!!

Just saw this on the freeway. Not in love with the aqua color, but how it was split up is an interesting take on it. If you're not one that loves the look of the Cybertruck and it's triangle roof, doing the top in Black and the sides in a lighter color do certainly help hide the lines of the...

No argument that they're working on new service centers. Just not sure they're expanding the service centers at the pace necessary to keep up with their production levels. They can only do so much, apparently. Nobody wants to wait 2-3 months, or longer, to get their car in for service...

As I noted in my personal notes, I much prefer no dealership experience when it comes to purchasing. However, for SERVICE, it probably couldn't hurt if they branched out to start offering more service centers / dealers to work on the 1,000,000 cars per year they are production. Service is one of...

No, has nothing to do with the Cybertruck. That site is just shady, period.

For his sake, I hope that's true and he's not responsible for the way the site is being run. I enjoy his videos, but after experiencing that site, makes it tougher to enjoy them if he's the one make those kinds of calls on that site. I'd be surprised if that site survives all that much longer if...

Sadly, despite the potential of that site (C&B), it has to be the most poorly run site I've ever come across. They had such an opportunity to boost themselves with that listing and completely failed. Doug has tons of Youtube followers. Generally he reviews them just as they are released on C&B...

Just like with the Hummer, Rivian and to some degree, the Lightning, there were a few early ones that sold at astronomical prices. Most of those however, went to companies that just wanted to get their hands on one for business purposes, thus the price paid was insignificant to them. There are...

Such class on this site! Again, 100% do not miss this crowd! Apparently people miserable in their own lives so they try to bring other to their level. Enjoy it down there.

Whoohoo, AND ANOTHER ONE!!!! AGAIN, ALREADY DISCUSSED ABOVE!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yippee!! ANOTHER LECTURE! I just love the Tesla forum community. LOL. You learn oh so much!! Have to say, since I personally stopped participating for the most part as of late, I haven't missed it a bit. What was a simple public awareness notice for the benefit of others turns into the...

Thank you for the lecture! LOL. if you read my posts, your post would not have been necessary. Not going to repeat it all again. But everything you said has been covered in this thread

Ford bought the first one for $200,000+. It's quite common for manufacturers to pay premium prices to get one of the first one's available. It's EXTREMELY COMMON for competing manufacturers to buy new models from other manufacturers. Happens all day. Ford admitted to being one of the first to...

Tesla tracks EVERYTHING you do in your car. There's no hiding anything from them. They can download your entire driving history anytime they want to. No with cameras inside the car, they can visibly see you too. Better not cheat on your wife in a Tesla!! It's not just Tesla anymore, our every...

Thanks for stating the OBVIOUS. Yes, I broke the law. I'm a horrible person. Apparently a horrible driver that's a high risk to others on the road and now get to pay for it for the next three years. Now, go look in the mirror and ask, "have I ever gone 10 MPH over the speed limit". Then, maybe...

As noted, was my FIRST TICKET IN EIGHT YEARS. For going 80 in a 70 out in the middle of nowhere with virtually no traffic. Most of the cars I encountered were those blowing by me at 90+. Aside from that ONE ticket in EIGHT YEARS, no accidents (knock on wood), I have an otherwise perfectly...

Read where one Tesla Cybertruck owner had his orders canceled and banned from purchasing any future Tesla's because he listed, not sold, just listed, his Cybertruck for sale. Cars & Bids (horrible auction site), Doug DeMuro released a video of why he hasn't reviewed one yet, supposedly because...

$6,000 to $6,500 for a factory wrap is ridiculous. With this thing having straight as an arrow panels, should be the easiest vehicle in the world to wrap. No curves to deal with, which is the most difficult part of wrapping most vehicles and why places charge so much. But, if you shop around...

NOT a mistake when you thought you were allowed one ticket in THREE YEARS. Actually my first ticket in EIGHT years. Based on past experience for the past 30+ years, thought I was allowed ONE ticket without penalty. Everyone makes a mistake here and there (meaning, getting a ticket). Based on...

I said, I would understand some hike in rate, but 50% seems excessive. I'm the opposite. I prefer to save my traffic school for the second ticket, if I get one. Could be for something more serious than 10 MPH over the speed limit in the middle of nowhere. And Mercury is WAY cheaper on all of my...

That's what I'll be doing. Especially after the minimum wage operator who answered my call decided to chastise me over getting one ticket in 8 years! Was rude about it and indicating their ZERO tolerance policy. Called Mercury, they'll insure it for $190 per month, so will still cost more, but...

With all my other policies in the past and present, including with Mercury, they allow you one ticket on your record in 2 or 3 years without penalty. Not the case with Tesla Insurance! Had been paying $155 per month, which was much cheaper than Mercury offered. But, got my first ticket in 8...

In my business, I have an EcoFlow battery as well and do the same thing, use the truck to charge the EcoFlow battery which provides 3600 watt output. So, I get the best of both worlds. Exceed the Rivian's 1500w output and could charge the EcoFlow for days without recharging the truck. I do wish...

I use it for camping. Powers the RV for days. Also, we have a car hauler for events and use it to power the entire trailer, including the auto liftgate on the back. One power outage at home, used it to power a heater, fridge and my entire office for 2-3 days. I almost kept the Ford Lightning...

Problem is, inverter's plugged into a 12V outlet put out only enough power to charge a phone or laptop. The Rivian at 1500w can power most things aside from air conditioners. Ford's 7200w outlets can pretty much power anything. I almost kept the F-150 Lightning over the Rivian because of that...

After my first Tesla in 2012, I was spoiled. With no competitors to come along for many years, I was stuck with just buying new Tesla's for the next 10 years. They had my two "must have" items (Supercharging & Auto Pilot). Wouldn't buy any other EV if it didn't have those. The Auto Pilot one...

Tesla has mostly negated my argument above by reducing the pricing of the Model X by nearly $50,000!!!! Rivian is still more unique and offers off-road capabilities with a usable frunk, air compressor and 110 power outlets, but Tesla's advanced technology and features put it back in the lead in...

I meant more on the sides. Not a grille. Just some styling vents at the far edges that would let air escape could give it a little more sportiness if done correction. Similar to what the existing Model 3's already have! I still prefer Unplugged Performances Ascension front bumper. This was my...

Which means 50% of it is the same! Wasn't criticizing. Geeze, I see people are still ultra-sensitive on this site! LOL. Was just saying, it's a good thing that the current Model 3 won't be quite so outdated once this comes out, which is a good thing. The Model S had suspension updates too, and...

Good thing is, it's just a "refresh" of the existing car. Further good thing is, places like T-Sportline or Unplugged Performance will soon offer conversion kits to put the new front end on your old Model 3. Deal breaker for me, as it was with the Model S, no stalks. Nope, still can't do it...

Yes, that's the reason I was at the service center the first time when they drove my car away with the keyfob in my pocket. While I was there purchasing the warranty, is when I scheduled another service appointment for the door handle. A couple days later, just two days prior to the scheduled...

After having owned some 13 Tesla's, most that have never seen a service center, had a busy week with back to back to back issues. I posted last week of oddly watching my car being driven away with the key fob in my pocket by a Tesla service tech. Went in last week to purchase the 2 year...

Had to go into a Tesla service center to purchase the extended service agreement after nearly a full day of the run-around with Tesla trying to tell me my car was not eligible, despite being the original owner, under 4 years and well under 50,000 miles. Finally, they reversed course and took my...

With my Model 3, I bought the custom springs that allowed the frunk to close much much easier. But still, regardless of how easy it may have been, still left finger prints and nothing compares to simply pushing a button on the fob or under the bumper to have it open/close automatically. Usually...

With road rage being what it is in today's world, I've learned, it's not worth engaging, regardless of who's right or wrong. Nothing is worth giving up your life over. Sad to hear this happened. Clearly an unnecessary death over what? Who gets the next charger? Too many people out there that...

I've been on these forums for several years. Not owning a Tesla anymore, I don't check it daily as I used to. Sure, all vehicles probably have their fanboi's, but with "many" of the Tesla forum fanboi's, they get so offended at even the slightest hint of criticism toward Tesla. Again, I put my...

I haven't looked recently, but I think TSportline had a full wheel option available? Guessing it probably would be at least $700, but might want to take a look if it happens to be something you might be interested in. Possibly they reduced their price once Tesla started offering the retrofit?

I'm not very often because this is the type of friendliness that Tesla forum members show. The fanboi's are just unbearable. I still love the company and supported them with over 10 cars throughout 9 years. More than most. But, the nastiness from so many forum members sure made this not a...

A bit of old news that Tesla started offering a full steering wheel. Another of my predictions that came true. Many claimed they were good with the Yoke, but when given the choice, their actions spoke louder than words. Tesla again just trying to be different for the sake of being different...

To each is own I guess. All comes down to what features are important to you. After 9 years in various Tesla's, the only thing I really miss is the Satellite based homelink. My mom is the opposite, she hates the ride of the Tesla but loves the ride of the Rivian. Tesla's UI is absolutely...

2019 Model S Raven was exactly the car that I had. Had several Tesla's for 9 years consecutively. Tried a Model 3 in there too and hated it. The 2019 Model S with updated Raven suspension was absolutely the best version they built in my opinion. I'm absolutely not a fan of the interior of the...

I agree 100%. But, this is America, where you're innocent until proven guilty, so will reserve judgement until a verdict has been rendered. Not that my judgement will matter one ounce. In any case, that goodness for their survival, whether intentional mischief or not.

I said it back when they released that hideous joke or yoke thing, that soon enough, they'd be offering a full steering wheel option. Was inevitable. Now that sales are slowing drastically, Tesla may finally lose the "our way or the highway" attitude and start thinking about customer service again.

So sad and happy at the same time. Don't know what to feel. When I first read it, was just simply amazed that all four survived a terrible "accident", so I thought. Then, read another article that the driver was arrested for intentionally trying to kill himself, his wife and precious 9 and...

Wow, higher power or something else, someone or something was certainly looking out for these people. Tesla flies off 250 foot cliff. All four survived. Two adults with non-life threatening injuries and 9 and 4 year old kids escaped injury. Just amazing. EDIT: HOLY CRAP, just read another...

So many are concerned with losing Tesla's supercharging network if they give up their Tesla. And it's a given, Tesla's supercharging network is second to none. For a road trip, they're reliable in most cases and easy to use. I guess the more relevant question is, how often do you really use it...

Edmunds completed their own detailed review and posted today. They used the Plaid to compare top vs top version. I think the standard X is more realistically comparable, but is still $30,000 more than the Rivian. The Plaid is $58,000 more than the Rivian.

I can't say I disagree with you on the front end. However, will ask, have you seen one in person. Myself, admittedly, I hated the front end of the truck in photos / videos. The rest was just OK. However, once I saw it in person, it looks SO MUCH better in real life than it does in photos /...
