    Model Y LR (3 Row) Reservation in Orange County, CA ($7.5k tax credit eligiible & $3k in savings from locked-in March 2022 pricing)

    What happens to all these reservations now, can they be cancelled? Is there a deposit at stake?

    Poor Service

    It is really hit and miss. I think they suffer from growth; too many new technicians. I have had wonderful experiences with service, and then some headscratchers. My latest; took the car in for obvious air suspension issues. You could clearly hear the air leaking out of the system somewhere...

    Will there be a correction the MS market?

    Here's an example of a car that previously would have seemed attractive vs new, with a 4 year, 50,000 mile warranty, and new prices where they were. Now, no way does this make sense to me at this price, it would have to be at least $5K cheaper. 2017 Model S | Tesla

    Will there be a correction the MS market?

    I for one put no value on FSD, it is not something I would ever trust. If I could buy a used car without it, at a reduced price, that would be one thing. Instead it is forced on me and I presumably have to pay for a feature I do not want (I presumably as I presume the prices are increased...

    Will there be a correction the MS market?

    It's not just the price, but also the warranty. I have a MS '13, bought used two years ago, and the warranty is up at the end of the year. I love the car, but the expiring warranty, lack of range, etc, has me looking to replace. I had been looking at used 90s or 100s with under 50K miles, so...

    Used Teslas now 1 year / 10k mile warranties

    They are going to have to drop price, otherwise buying used makes no sense. I have a '13 S that I bought used a couple years ago, has a warranty through 12/31/20. I have had many warranty repairs, costing about $5K total (I only paid $31K for the car). The most recent was this week when the...

    Likely MCU Failure (MCU1 eMMC)

    Thanks for the offer, you are providing a great service to people. I did stop by the SC this morning, and sure enough the MCU is fried, luckily I am still under warranty, so will be covered. But for those out of warranty, it makes sense to go to a third party for the repair. I am sure this...

    Likely MCU Failure (MCU1 eMMC)

    Add me to the list of failed MCUs. 2013 Model S, bought from Tesla a year ago so luckily still under warranty. Driving home last night the display screen froze, then showed the Tesla logo, then totally blacked out. Would not reset. Climate will not turn off from the app, nor will anything...

    Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

    A bit off topic, but regarding the earlier comments about the browser being non- functional, I was in a service center getting some work done over the summer, and overheard an employee telling another customer that the browser was soon going to be removed, due to the access costs Tesla was...

    PG&E Rate Schedules: "Home Charging" (EV2-A) Goes Live vs. Others

    100% correct. Under this plan, there is absolutely no reason to install solar without battery, unless you have west facing exposure. Even with battery, it seems you just want to become as energy independent as possible through the use of batteries + solar. Using the grid for storage is going...

    PG&E Rate Schedules: "Home Charging" (EV2-A) Goes Live vs. Others

    Thanks, I see what you are saying, and your math makes sense given the rates today. My bigger concern is what some other posters pointed out above - if you look at the ISO net usage charts, and figure in continued solar installation, at some point the utilities will be giving away power during...

    PG&E Rate Schedules: "Home Charging" (EV2-A) Goes Live vs. Others

    This is what I am thinking. If you are on EV2-A, it would seem the optimal solution would be to invest in a battery system, where you can charge your car and your battery during the $0.15633 period of midnight - 3PM, then discharge your battery from 3PM - 12PM. With a sufficient battery...

    PG&E Rate Schedules: "Home Charging" (EV2-A) Goes Live vs. Others

    Thanks. Does this apply to other battery solutions as well? For example, if I got an installer to put in LG batteries, could that charge directly from the grid, without solar? I am looking at a 14kw solar array, so the cost of that is much higher than the cost of batteries. If I could just...

    PG&E Rate Schedules: "Home Charging" (EV2-A) Goes Live vs. Others

    Sorry this is a bit of an old thread, but I am a Tesla Model S owner who is doing a remodel, and considering solar and/or a battery system. I am currently on the EV-A rate plan (started in March), and was wondering, with that plan, should I just purchase a battery storage unit, fill it up from...
