At least you got a VIN. I have a low RN for the truck (reserved on night of announcement), configured order for FS Dual Motor 1/31, submitted all the paperwork as a qualified shareholder and still no VIN. I blame my state since for some reason there have been ~0 Virginia deliveries.

I enjoyed reading the brief section on paint: https://service.tesla.com/docs/Cybertruck/ServiceManual/en-us/GUID-1B2D79AE-B9D3-47A7-A77E-8B4338B76F89.html

Sounds like another batch of order invites going out and including northeast US locations which is good, last batch was around 1/30-2/2. Now let's get some more deliveries outside Ca/Tx!

Yes, it's a thing for the Super Bowl, think mixed-company parties with some attendees more interested in the advertisements than the game. Companies spent $7 million USD for a 30 second spot and historically have brought out their most creative, funny, sentimental marketing they can muster...

I found it interesting that the "Big 3" did not have a single ad. So many SuperBowls of the past featuring patriotic ads with tough pickups it was a notable absence. Also not promoting their EV versions like they did past few years. Felt like a corporate realization that the party is over.

Got my invitation to configure, day 1 reservation holder, RN112751xxx, location Virginia. Dual Motor Foundation Series, Est delvery February-April

Looks like the new Garage 1 chargers have J1772 plugs. Check out the photos on PlugShare: IAD - Garage 1 | Dulles, VA | EV Station

I no longer have my 2013 RWD S but still vividly recall losing all traction on the Dulles Greenway such that I could not get it to drive at very low speeds in an ice storm. Very bad feeling… Ever since that incident I religiously changed to winter wheels/tires November to March and I still do...

Sure but that scenario is an extremely rare occurrence in real world applications (actual car fires caused by a crash igniting unvented hydrogen gas). The main Tesla pack is structurally protected to prevent damage to cells that could lead to thermal runaway and resultant fire. Putting in an...

+1 on this. If you have a front end collision, there is a risk a Li ion battery could get damaged and catch fire which should not happen with the lead acid.

At least in part it is the overall width of the vehicles. R1T is narrower.

Yes, received a few emails for shares I hold in different accounts. Not sure what the class action is all about though (the link didn’t give much info).

Badass and large, not much space between supercharging spots for doors to open. No worries about door dings for the CT but S3XY owners might have an issue.

Interesting since the video review linked earlier and associated link: Results Table 2022 Tyre Reviews All Season Tyre Test - Tyre Reviews and Tests Show the Vredstein has the worst rolling resistance (10th place out of 10 with 9.4kg / t) and the Michelin CC2 is better (3rd place with 7.9kg /...

This has been my experience over the years as a Tesla investor listening to the calls. The answers given tend to be more mission-focused than financially optimistic (different than most public companies where the executives really emphasize profit and spin things towards the optimistic...

I’m optimistic too but falcon wing doors have been pretty finicky in my experience (obviously FWD more complex so there’s that).

Oh, that must be what all the damned smoke is in the air this week?

0.25 point increase by Fed as expected

Yeah, I recommend folks not click on his articles, just feeding the troll. He typically has poorly researched, opinion pieces masquerading as some sort of quality investigative journalism. As a WaPo subscriber, I choose not to read anything he writes. The only Tesla, Elon articles I read on...

I don’t click on WaPo articles by Faiz Siddiqui, he has had an anti-Tesla/Elon bias for years.

Apologies, apparently it’s actually 3pm central time. (You tube link must adjust the advertised start time for whatever time zone you are in).

Apparently the answer is 4pm (assume central time since it’s in Austin). https://www.youtube.com/live/Hl1zEzVUV7w?feature=share

I really wish Tesla would start enabling the center touch screen to run more business-centric software. Just look at all the police departments now using Tesla model 3/Y, all the systems I have seen utilize an accessory laptop to run their dispatch and response software which is awkwardly...

Any word on the March 1 event timing?

Ooh, got an invite

PTRA went public June 15, 2021, down about 63% since then.

Well, if you zoom out it doesn’t look so great. I made a small investment since I believe the future for EV busses is good and the company seems to be generally well run and expanding.

Well that didn’t age well

TD Ameritrade has postsplit price but still showing pre-split share balance. Portfolio value is down 77% this morning 😳 yes, still a bit glitchy, my overall account balance is now correct but my TSLA shares show a 207% one day gain

This also benefits customers in states like Virginia that charge a yearly personal property tax on the value of the vehicle. This is typically based on the cost of a base model without options and can be quite substantial over the life of the car.

There is a new law that goes into effect July 1, 2022 to discourage non EVs (or EVs that are not charging) from occupying a space reserved for EV charging. The law seems pretty lax (max fine $25 and localities can't exceed that) and it requires the space to have a sign that includes the words...

We also were on the old pilot program, called the whole house + EV plan, choosing not to go with the separate meter due to additional installation costs. It was essentially a Time of Use plan for the whole house so we shifted to cooling the home and running appliances more off peak. However when...

So you bought a Model 3 in the first Model year of production and discovered problems related to build quality. So now you are going to purchase a brand new model vehicle from Rivian a new company out of frustration?

Depends how you drive it. If you’re doing frequent 0-60 runs or driving with extreme cornering then you might appreciate a more performance tire. Otherwise probably fine.

At the moment, tire rack has the 18" in stock but not the 19"

Mmm…cats 🤤

My Progressive auto renewal premium in Virginia just jumped 25%, no claims/violations/credit score changes and I have multiple policies with them for several years. I am considering the switch to Tesla's product, I wouldn't mind the link to safety score if the safety score wasn't so bizarre...

Not a good deal for TWTR investors (which I am not). I can only imagine the lawsuits on this “funding secured “fail.

Any thoughts on Proterra PTRA? They seem to be an EV niche that Tesla is not currently addressing with municipal busses and supplying batteries for other vehicles like delivery vans etc. Seems like they have had decent revenue growth. Stock is sitting at an all time low.

There is a new EV Pilot program from Rappahannock Electric Cooperative (REC) which services parts of Virginia. It is a simple time of use benefit with a $7 per month credit applied if you agree to charge your EV off peak which they define as 9pm-5am and 10am to 2pm year round. This is limited to...

Don’t ask why, just Buy!

It’s live!

Sorry to hear that! Can you elaborate? I would say given the 19 month gap since the last post on this thread, nobody else has felt the need to post a bad experience (or a good one for that matter). Hope your experience was an exception to the norm, I personally haven't needed service recently...

All wired up and the meter is lit !

I was able to get a quote after deleting and reinstalling the app. Came out to $50 more per month than I pay with Progresssive for similar coverages.

Yes, I also had to delete app and reinstall to get the quote. $50 more per month than I am paying now for Progressive. Hard pass.

Man stories like this make me want to have a spare Tesla on order just in case. Long (7 months!) wait for repairs only to then have to wait who knows how long for a new build.

Do both Teslas have FSD?
