    Any luck with recent Y SR orders?

    I intended to order after the reduction in price for a MY5 and the rug was pulled off my feet just a day before I intended to order the car. I contacted the internet website and was offered loaner cars for the reduced new cae price. Yesterday I contacted a salesman at a local Tesla store and he...

    Tires! A Cautionary Tale

    I have had two Pirelli flats on two different Bimmers and Discount refused to fix them due to Pirellis instructions. Each was close to $400. BTW - They were both run-flat tires and the puncture was right in the middle of the thread.

    Looking for some straight answers on Model 3 Performance Tires

    \Geez, after all these years Toyo cannot learn how to make a good tire. Years ago I purchased a new 84 (I think) Dantsun (Nissan)280 Z car that came came shod with Toyo tires. Worst "humid" weather tires I ever drove in my life. Never forgot them! BTW - We just moved to the Denton TX area from...

    Looking for some straight answers on Model 3 Performance Tires

    I just ordered a Model 3 Standard with the optional 19" tires and sports wheels. Anyone happens to know what brand and type (summer, etc) tires usually come with this type of wheels?

    Looking for some straight answers on Model 3 Performance Tires

    I recently read a report stating that tire manufacturers make their tires differently for EV due to the extra weight of battery laden EV cars. I did not keep a copy of the repot.

    Took No-contact delivery today 2/6/21 vin104xxx

    Thanks for the replies. I just ordered a Model 3 today. The website information indicated that they had no delivery to my home area at this date. However, the SA assured me that the Plano site has in-home delivery team at no extra cost. THAT is what I call GREAT service!

    Cabin Thermal Loss

    Yes, sure. I could do the same thing with all the last 5 or six cars I have had. They all had unwanted by me sun roofs that I could tilt and let 105 degree wind come in. Guess you've never been in Texas during the long hot summers. Really delightful :))

    Own vs Lease?

    From what I've been told Tesla leases ends with the car always going back to Tesla. I've ben leasing Lexus twice in a row and BMW the last three times. Sometimes I have gotten lucky and sell the car to CarMax at the end of a lease for 2-3 thousand less than what I owed. Also, on a lease one...

    Cabin Thermal Loss

    Of course I don't have any scientific proof as to which will do best. In Texas we need every bit of help in keeping the sun's heat out of the car. I can slide the protection from the sunroof on my BMW and leave the car under the sun for say, 30 minutes. You get in the car and if you touch the...

    Cabin Thermal Loss

    My problem is all the oposite than the OP. Our enemy in TX is the sun. I won't have a Tesla until next April but I already spoke with the Ft Worth SA and he told me Tesla makes a kit for the glass roof and it sells for around $90. He said it's easy to install. Of course, around here you just...
