    Window tint headache on new 24 M3, Any advice?

    I would have done the charge back the moment the owner's son made that ridiculous comment to you. A few bubbles here and there is normal, but yours just shows they do not work in a suitable environment to deliver a quality tint application. At this point no matter what the owner tells you, how...

    Unplugged Performance High Efficiency Spoiler for 2024 Model 3

    If my MYP didn't already have a spoiler I'd get something like this...

    Weird phone call from local Tesla rep

    You should be able to buy a car from out of state, but it does look like GA makes it challenging. More likely Tesla doesn't want to get involved in that process. https://getjerry.com/car-loan/buying-a-car-in-georgia-from-out-of-state#how-to-buy-a-car-out-of-state-as-a-georgia-resident

    Positive Delivery Experience, but not issue free

    It may vary from delivery center to delivery center, but at mine the staff was very accommodating about paying after I inspected the vehicle. They even assigned it a permanent tag and did the delivery prep no pressure. If there wasn't an issue it wouldn't be a Tesla right LOL There are two...

    Order before March 1 or wait until end of Q1

    Congrats to everyone on their new Ys. I just took delivery of my Ultra Red MYP with black seats today and smiled all the way home :D

    Order before March 1 or wait until end of Q1

    Thanks for your opinion. I also feel it's not worth it and decided if it does get chip so bad I feel the need to paint it, I'd color wrap it. I'll look into the amazon thing.

    Order before March 1 or wait until end of Q1

    When I sold my M3P during the pandemic it was with the intention of buying a MYLR when prices returned to normal. Took longer than expected :( and then I waited to see what happened with Highland and I decided Juniper was not worth passing up the current deals. Saw a new Ultra Red MYP for 49,680...

    Can you Walk-in and buy a Tesla Model Y on the spot? Inventory shows Immediately Available

    In my area there are Tesla stores I call showrooms (in the big malls) where you can test drive and purchase online, but they don't do deliveries. To recieve the Tesla we have to go to the store I call the hub where they prep and deliver the vehicles and store their in-inventory vehicles; the...

    Model Y Performance vs Y long range suspension

    Thanks for all the info. I went to main Tesla store in my area, where they send you to take delivery from the smaller stores. Test drove a MYP and a MYLY w/ 20's. Funny thing is the MYLR with 20's handles much better than the MYP. First the steering wheel in sport mode felt very heavy like a...

    Model Y Performance vs Y long range suspension

    I thought about that also.. the MYP I test drove had 21's and the MYLR had 19's. I know that can make a big difference in traction, but i wonder how much of a difference if any in body roll.

    Model Y Performance vs Y long range suspension

    Thanks for confirming. I like the stealth gray, but i think for my second Tesla I want a Ultra Red, just dont like they want 3K more for it.

    Model Y Performance vs Highland Long Range

    I suspected that. it drove just as well as the Highland LR I test drove back to back. Thanks for confirming. At 44050 its very very tempting to buy MYLR, I still wan the MYP lower even though I recognized at 48090 it's the lowest I've seen to date in my area. I think 47 for grey or 48 for ultra...

    Model Y Performance vs Y long range suspension

    Now that the MYP is down to 48090 & MLR 44050 I'm excited again. I like the stealth grey and want to pull the trigger on the MYLR only 1 at that price the rest are rougly +800+ same for the MYP. I'm thinking of holding out longer for the Honda Prologue to arrive in hopes Elon lowers the price...

    Model Y Performance vs Highland Long Range

    So it seems Model Y is at its all time lowest price today in my area. MYLR for $44090.00 & MYP for $48420.00. I suspect the Juniper lite refresh seen in Shanghai is coming to USA. After test driving the Highland LR I don't believe the probable Juniper upgrades are worth potentially loosing the...

    Model Y Performance vs Highland Long Range

    I assume Juniper will not be eligible for the EV tax credit especially if Trump wins. That said having test drove Highland LR and an MYP I felt the interior upgrades were negligible difference especially if I can get a MYP at 52K - 7500 this year.

    Model Y Performance vs Highland Long Range

    Yes I think that was a large part of why it felt so much more comfortable than the Highland to me. The new 3 seating position is also very low.

    Model Y Performance vs Highland Long Range

    Looks like Tesla indeed raised the price of Model Y LR & RWD this month as stated by Elon. At only 2K difference, the MYP is the better buy imo. I can wait a bit longer, I suspect the price will drop again in June.

    Any EV Tax Credit Gurus or Accountants?

    Thanks for all the replies. I'm debating pulling the trigger on a 2024 MYP.. it's actually cheaper than the Highland LR with the EV credit.

    Model Y Performance vs Highland Long Range

    I test drove both MYP and a Highland M3LR. The 2024 MYP w/ 21 inch wheels was surprisingly comfortable and the drive experience was far better than the 2023 MYLR I test drove last December. I could feel the vibrations from in perfection in the floors especially in the mall parking garage and...

    Can MYP match MYLR range?

    The discount in my area is less than 4K (on Performance Y) and varies from vehicle to vehicle. I noticed a pattern over the last two months where black and gray have the highest discount (2000 to 3800) and other colors are usually on the lower end of the discount (1000 to 2500). I think this is...

    Can MYP match MYLR range?

    Yes you can use the TS 18"s. The OEM 18"s do not have the clearance for the larger performance brakes equipped on most Ps. will-18-inch-wheels-fit-on-tesla-model-3-performance-yes

    Can MYP match MYLR range?

    I'm debating getting a Y at the end of the month to take advantage of the 7500 tax credit. I'm debating a P vs LR, the 3K cost difference doesn't matter to me but the range difference and the 21" wheels do. In the case of the 21" wheels I'm willing to put out additional money and get T Sportline...

    Any EV Tax Credit Gurus or Accountants?

    So in the following scenario... Line 18 = 19500.00 Line 21 = 7500.00 Line 33 = 20000.00 then Line 34 = 8000.00 Is this tax math correct? Elon for President.. maybe he can simply taxes LOL

    Any EV Tax Credit Gurus or Accountants?

    Thanks for sharing and yes I spoke with my local Tesla store and they have a new 2023 Red Model X for the newly reduce price making it under 80k before taxes etc. For clarification as I don't know much about taxes if I paid 20,000 in withholdings and my tax liability is 19,000 that would mean I...

    Any EV Tax Credit Gurus or Accountants?

    I currently estimated to get a IRS tax refund after all my deductions in the neighborhood of $1700 next year. If I understand the EV tax credit I can only claim the amount I owe the IRS which in my case is going to be zero. Does anyone know if the IRS applies the EV credit of 7500 first before...

    NEW Model 3 Highland review!

    Make no mistake a lot of Tesla owners own a Tesla because there was or still is no luxury/premium counterpart in the 3/Y segment. The upcoming 2nd gen EQC and Macan EV will change that just as the Taycan and EQS did to the S/X. They may be more expensive than the Y, but the there is a portion of...

    NEW Model 3 Highland review!

    I'm glad I waited to see Highland details. I thought 5K off a new '23 M3P would motivated me to go with the outgoing model, but the changes are quite significant and the '24 looks gorgeous. Your comment of pushing down the German brands on the totem pole is going to be wrong when they finally...

    Review of my first EV after 10 days and the first roadtrip (2023 Model Y Performance)

    I agree. I currently have a Hyundai Santa Cruz so when I test drove the Model Y in some way it was a down grade. I'm now leaning towards a M3RWD as a daily commuter which is imo priced great. Just waiting for the 2024 to arrive.

    Review of my first EV after 10 days and the first roadtrip (2023 Model Y Performance)

    Thanks for sharing. I didn't use it much when I had a M3P since the Tesla screen is in the center of the car and I have to turn my head and look down. In my current vehicle the blind spot/turn signal video displays on the dashboard in the standard position so it's more convenient to use and I...

    Model Y - HW4 - Camera Issue

    We could nit pick every thing a person says and find flaws in them, for instance your assertion of 2-3 seconds by your argument would make you hard to take you seriously. In most normal driving situations it will take more than 3 seconds to overtake another vehicle unless the overtaking vehicle...

    Model Y - HW4 - Camera Issue

    LOL The thing to note, which everyone else understood, is vehicles actually passed me and and the display still showed them as driving up behind me. If I did not also check the rear view mirrors I could have ended up in a collision which makes it a safety hazard. The tech is not that advanced...

    Model Y - HW4 - Camera Issue

    I previously owned a 2020 M3P and love it except for two issues that were the proverbial straw that broke the camels back. 1. excessively loud highway speed wind noise (average daily highway commute of 60miles at around 70-85mph) and A/C not being able to keep up with Florida heat (even with top...

    Review of my first EV after 10 days and the first roadtrip (2023 Model Y Performance)

    @rogersmj thanks for sharing your experience. I recently test drove a Model Y with HW4 and noticed turn signal video was dangerously inaccurate. More specifically the video was delayed showing cars a good two cars behind me when they were actually in my blindspot and I could see the car pass me...

    Model Y - HW4 - Camera Issue

    Thanks for sharing, good to know. I'm still waiting for MY2024 to be released. I never heard back from the sales associate regarding the issue, but I'm not surprised since I told him I would wait for the 2024 models to arrive. Fact is that Tesla supplies it as a safety feature and...

    Model Y - HW4 - Camera Issue

    I test drove a new 2023 Model Y with HW4 and noticed that the camera system is inaccurate. At first it looked like the side views (turn signals) show cars significantly further away than they are, but soon I realized the video is lagging. Vehicles actually passed me while the turn signal system...

    Discussion: Model 3 Price reductions - Jan / April / Oct 2023 and all other pricing discussions

    By definition you're correct, but inflation and interest rates will certainly curb a percentage of would be buyers. The auto market is seeing this already, Elon normalized back to pre-pandemic prices, dealers are selling some models below MSRP again, etc etc. It will only get tougher for big...

    Discussion: Model 3 Price reductions - Jan / April / Oct 2023 and all other pricing discussions

    Thanks for pointing that out. I noticed *some* Model 3 Performance and Long Range are no longer discounted in my city and those that are the discount has reduced back down to roughly 2500 from just over 3000. I wonder if the undiscounted ones have HW4 like the later built Model Ys. I can see...

    Discussion: Model 3 Price reductions - Jan / April / Oct 2023 and all other pricing discussions

    The RWD is a great deal with the full tax credit. Come Jan 1 when dealers can take the credit off the sale price upfront Toyota & Honda are going to be in a world of pain when the out the door price of a M3RWD is $32K. I forget that not all localities in the USA have the ample sitting...

    Discussion: Model 3 Price reductions - Jan / April / Oct 2023 and all other pricing discussions

    I've been watching local inventory waiting for a big discount. Yesterday a new M3P had a $2950 discount. Tonight there is no inventory showing on Tesla's website in any zip code I randomly entered. I wonder if they are getting ready to drop a big discount.

    Most people who bought a new vehicle during the pandemic up to early this year are going to be upside down, by how much depends on how desperate they were. Outside Tesla the gouging went by a common name Market Adjustment Value which went straight into the pockets of dealerships. People were...

    Discussion: Model 3 Price reductions - Jan / April / Oct 2023 and all other pricing discussions

    3 months free supercharging plus -3750 on M3RWD and -3090 on M3P is getting tempting. I'm still holding out for -5000 with or without free supercharging for a 2023, otherwise I'm still holding for a new redesigned 2024.

    I think I have the wrong Tesla and I kinda hate it, lol

    My first Tesla was a M3P and I didn't think I'd get used to the Stalk or Center display. I never liked not having a driver display, but I fell in love with the connivence of the stalk vs traditional gear shift. I bet in time the system will win people over, change can be difficult sometimes...

    I think I have the wrong Tesla and I kinda hate it, lol

    @acarney a car is always going to drive better than its CUV counterpart if your prefer performance and handling over capacity and a softer comfort ride. The question you need to ask yourself is during all the time you owned a Y how often did you need the extra space a CUV provides. If the answer...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    You could still likely get basic tint for $99. If you want these new high tech tints like Xpel it's gonna be up there in the 500+ range for a Tesla because of all that glass. Ask if they do a single piece for the pano roof.. not everyone does. I've owned a lot of brands of vehicles and never...

    Is this used 2020M3P a bad idea?

    You could look into X-Care as an alternative to buying from Tesla. Consider carefully before walking away from an extended warranty that you are starting out with a vehicle that is almost 4 years old which means expen$ive parts like computer display and A/C unit are also 4 years. You plan on...
