    Model Y 19” Gemini tire replacements - Altimax RT45?

    I found their predecessor - the RT43 - to have extremely poor wet weather performance, despite solid reviews. I'd need a lot of convincing before I tried General tires again. I have Vredestein Quatrac Pros on a Subaru, on the other hand, and those are like velcro on wet roads. Unless you can...

    Quick Silver Y waiting room

    23 May order: MYP QS/black Estimated delivery just moved to the right within the past hour from June 24 - June 30 to July 7 - August 11. I am trading in and taking advantage of the 0.99% rate, neither of which is probably very appealing to Tesla (when compared to an all cash buyer) and may...

    .99% APR Financing Promotion (May 10 - May 31 2024)

    Go get a Solterra at 0% for six years. It'll bore you to tears, but Subies have great HVAC - you'll love it.

    .99% APR Financing Promotion (May 10 - May 31 2024)

    In my experience the end of quarter incentives are based on delivery date and have nothing to do with when an order was placed, which aligns with the way Tesla reports its vehicle sales.

    .99% APR Financing Promotion (May 10 - May 31 2024)

    I'm hoping for the same date range to take advantage of any take-delivery-before-the-end-of-FY2024Q2 incentives they may offer. I got two years of free fast charging that way on my first Tesla back in 2019, although the Supercharger division had employees back then...

    .99% APR Financing Promotion (May 10 - May 31 2024)

    I recently drove a Model S with no turn signal or shifter stalks and determined that I'll never buy a car that has been de-contented to that extent. The .99% APR offer on the only car they still build with control stalks on the steering column was enough to convince me to place an order...

    NEW Model 3 Highland review!

    I test drove a new Model S last week to see if I could deal with the stalk-less steering column and drive mode slider thing on the main display. I couldn't - everything about it is awful. The small button to activate the horn makes it unlikely that you'll be able to find it in a panic stop or...

    Traded Model 3 for new Model Y

    Reuters: "Tesla readies revamped Model 3 with project 'Highland' -sources" [projected 3rd quarter 2023]

    Not for me - none of those additions would overcome the ridiculousness of button-operated turn signals and gear selection, especialy when the company parts bin already has perfectly capable and familiar alternatives available. If the stalks go away my next new car will be a Volvo.

    Reuters: "Tesla readies revamped Model 3 with project 'Highland' -sources" [projected 3rd quarter 2023]

    Who says the refresh will be an upgrade? What if it's about incorporating production efficiencies and decontenting various items - like shifter and turn signal stalks, for example - to boost profits? If so, I'll be content with my '22 Model 3 for quite a while.

    Drove the car home from the Tesla store and removed them that day. The tires have not been off the wheels, so the OEM Bluetooth Low Energy TPMS are included. $2,750. Local pickup in the Hampton Roads / Tidewater, VA area. Apologies - not willing to ship. I'm sure everyone knows the specs...

    Can this damage be buffed out? Does it need a new bumper or a paint job?

    Where I live this is a $250 job at a decent independent body repair shop. Red paint can be crazy expensive, however, so that may be a factor. And if the taxi hit the wheel as you mentioned, you may want to have the alignment checked - especially if the cab company is footing the bill.

    Advice - Used Model 3, which?

    I'd rent a similar M3 for a weekend from Turo or the like and determine if you absolutely need FSD on day one, as that feature is obviously going to impact the cost in a significant way. I also wouldn't buy a pre-refresh car - not for those prices. I'm on my fourth Tesla, and one thing I've...

    "Cybertruck-approved" Tesla locations

    I had a mobile ranger visit earlier this week for an issue on my M3 - he was out of a new Tesla sales and service location in southern Virginia that is operating on a property once occupied by a fairly large Ford dealership. After he was done working on my car I asked about the facility, which...

    Missing ECU/Charge Port Discussion

    It's a charge port ECU shortage, not a charge port shortage. When I picked up my car last week (4/19 build and impacted by this) I was told that the missing part is what lets the car know that there is no charging cable attached, and is therefore safe to drive. An assistant manager told me...

    2022 Q2 production Model 3 missing matrix headlights?

    Just picked up M3P VIN 238XXX, build date 4/19, which was impacted by the charge port ECU shortage and sat on the lot for a spell. Projector headlights and UMC included. An employee at that store (Richmond, VA) who seemed to be in on decision making told me they had received about 15 Model...

    Well, at least you gave it a try. 👍 I would do the same, except the lot my car is sitting in as it awaits the charge port ECU install is 100 miles away, so I'll see it when I see it. One would think that your dealer's off-site is likely within a stone's throw of their lot, but everything is...

    Model 3 concerns

    This may fit the bill - the "City Vehicle Adult Car". 👍 I'm sure it's rattle-free and likely has outstanding paint, unless it's built in a tent by non-union Californians like the Model 3. That enormous A/C unit on top will come in handy in hot and steamy FLA. The *only* downside I can...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room
