I don’t expect that everyone listened to all of Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s almost 9-hour rant to stall the House vote the other night. But you’d think this dude would lose some credibility with statements like this about test driving a Tesla. Give him a listen for about 30 seconds from 2:18:26 until...

This. All this. Thank you for keeping me from walking over a ledge! I don't know why I was expecting peer pressure from Tesla strangers do go against my better judgement. Y'all are awesome. Thanks

Super glad to hear we're not alone. For us, it mostly matters in terms of storage space. All the features of the AWD aren't as important to us (in terms of priorities) as they may be for some. For example, we don't need it to have an insanely fast 0-60, we don't need AWD (not in TX), top speed...

Apologies again for sort of hijacking this MY RWD thread, but I seriously want to thank you are for the solid advice you've shared with us.

Thank you. Up until my post, this has been one of those conversations I've been having in my head alone. And I'm pretty sure the devil on my shoulder is trying to get me to commit to an unwise financial decision I'd regret later. It's nice to hear some more reason out in the universe, even from...

Let me preface this by saying my post may seem slightly irrational (call me out on it if you want) and I may just be typing for my own cathartic reasons to get these thoughts out there in the universe (my apologies). I also apologize if this is a bad place to jump into a specific thread on the...

As a side note (semi-related to this conversation), I think it's seriously time to start a funny new thread that is pretty much purely non-Tesla cars that show white vehicles and/or panel gaps and imperfections. Not the worst-of-the-worst pics we can pull from the internet, but photos from our...

I’m sure these are outlier experiences, but I completely agree that I’d rather have camera footage over a police report. This reminds me of a funny standup set from Mike Birbiglia:

This is sort of related to the question I'm asking too. RE: Speculation on the impact the Austin factory could have on purchasing a Tesla in TX? There aren't any problems buying a Tesla in TX now but I'm curious about how things could potentially be even smoother with the factory here in TX. Not...

Thanks for your reply, I appreciate the response. You're right that thousands of people have bought Teslas in TX without any issues. And that's great that your experiences have gone so well. Maybe I gave off the wrong impression with my message. I do NOT think having the factory in Austin will...

Out of curiosity, is it possible/likely that having a factory in TX will have ANY impact on buying a Tesla in TX? If so, in what ways do you think it could change things for Tesla buyers in TX? It's a broad speculative question: any type of impact this TX factory could have on purchasing a Tesla...

Certainly related to this post: is there a climate threshold where it’s too hot to be good for the battery? I live in TX and we’re planning on purchasing a Tesla (probably similar heat conditions as OP). Summers in TX can be atrocious as I’m sure they are in Florida. Our garage is not insulated...

I live in TX too and plan to get a model Y when the standard range version is eventually released. I’d appreciate any details about your process, or links to others who’ve purchased a new Tesla from TX. For example, in terms of the sales tax it sounds like that amount is not included in the...

I may be too wishful and I may be answering my own question now (sorry), but I just went to the ordering page and did a screenshot of the model y interior and model 3 interior images (see attached). Although these don’t seem to be actual photos of the M3 and MY interiors (but, rather, just a...

Thanks. I may have missed that. About to go look at the order page again. I thought that there weren’t interior shots of the Y yet. And with the unveil it is so dark (and a prototype) so it was hard to tell if this would be a subtle finishing change or not. Ideally it would be nice to have...

I don’t own a M3 (planning to purchase Y) but I’ve seen lots of videos with people reviewing aftermarket covers. From the reviews a lot of folks still seem somewhat unimpressed with this minor modification (usually pointing out that it still looks like a sticker or that some of the edges aren’t...

Probably way to soon to know for sure, but any hints at whether the MY will have that same glossy black center console? It seems like most folks with the M3 take issue with the regular fingerprint smudges on that console. Maybe it’s just wishful thinking but with so much feedback about this on...

My wife and I were just having a very similar discussion today! We’re a family of 5 (3 daughters all under the age of 10). We have a Honda Odyssey that still has some life in it for maybe the next few years so we decided today we’ll probably just go with the 5-seater Y (just the standard range...

New here (waiting to purchase our first Tesla when the Model Y Standard range eventually drops), but just echoing what others have already stated. Some of us wait because we KNOW the cost will eventually drop and we’re okay waiting. I expect the technology to only improve and with it the cost to...
