    2022 Used Model X Plaid or 2024 New Model X Non Plaid

    Definitely a tough choice! For me, I would lean towards getting the newer/refreshed Model-X. There are many small software upgrades that make for a more enjoyable experience. Additionally, it will receive better OTA upgrades due to having all of the newer hardware. I believe that if you get...

    Changing from a Y to X, regrets?

    I went from a 3 to an X. If sporty driving/handling is more important to you, then I would say stay with the Y. At my stage of life, I enjoy the comfort of the X. Also, I really like having a display directly in front of me. If you have not done so already, you should test drive the X...

    Took Delivery of my Cybertruck!!!

    Best of luck with your new CT! Looks like you'll be needing to extend that concrete pad a few more feet😁!

    Ultra Red now $2500

    This is disappointing, and makes people think twice before trading in for a refreshed MX. I'm thinking that the recent price reduction has caused an upward blip in sales, so they feel the need to apply the brakes.

    Cybertruck is a scam.

    Panel fit issues are one reason why you don't want to buy a vehicle during its first year of production. One common problem is the fasteners not holding properly, which is sometimes only fully corrected by a fastener redesign. The SC may indeed try to repair by hammering back into place, but...

    Water leaking through roof via falcon doors

    Prepare yourself - the seals are part of the FWD roof glass, and cannot be replaced separately. Hopefully it is one of the other seals. If not, you should push for them to replace the glass panels under warranty.

    Model Y to Model X?

    I went from a M3 to a MX. Would do it again in a heartbeat. It is simply a more comfortable vehicle for my needs. Once you get some time with having an screen in front of you, it would be tough to go back. I believe that the phantom braking issue is due to the vision-only version of...

    2017 Model X vs 2023 Model X

    This is an interesting thread, with many excellent points being made for both the older and newer versions of the MX. While I enjoy many features of my 2020 MX, my concern is that there will be much less support for it in the future, especially with respect to software upgrades. For example...

    Am I getting a good deal on a used Model X?

    Unless you need the 7-seater, why not buy a new one? The pricing is similar and you can utilize the EV credit.

    Help with seat care, please!

    Thanks for the info; much appreciated!

    Help with seat care, please!

    You may be right, but it just feels very different from the vegan leather that was in my Model-3. I can just treat it as such unless I find out otherwise in the future.

    Help with seat care, please!

    Hello all! I recently obtained a 2020 Model-X, and can't tell if the seats are vegan or regular leather. Any easy way to tell? I want to make sure to use the proper car-care items to maintain them. Any help would be appreciated!

    Upgrade from Model Y to Model X

    I have also been looking into either a new MY or a used MX, as my M3 is getting to be too low for easy entry/exit. As I get older, I realize that comfort becomes very important. Because of that, I'm seriously looking at used MX's in my area. I'm sure that the MX will cost more to maintain...

    How to verify FSD on used vehicle?

    A little help, please. I'm looking to purchase a used Model-X and I would like it to have FSD. How can I tell if the vehilce has the FSD package and not just a monthly subscription? Any help would be appreciated!

    Cybertruck Frunk

    Thanks for the clarification. This is as I remembered. Franz did design both the Pontiac Solstice and the Saturn Sky. These vehicles had a great, enthusiastic team behind them (including Franz). They were, however, a royal pain to assemble. Sadly, GM lost many good design people over...

    Cybertruck Frunk

    This is a common misconception. It is allowable to have the headlamps affixed to a moving hood. The C4 Corvette and Pontiac Solstice are examples of this.

    How many of you will/may transition to CyberTruck?

    As long as the finances work out, I'm planning on taking delivery ~2025, when my reservation comes up. I will need to test drive it first, to check visibility from the driver's seat and to make sure that the four-wheel steering makes it less of a beast to drive/park than a standard crew cab...

    Cybertruck Frunk

    The DOT requirement is easily misunderstood. If the Cybertruck frunk does open like the F150, it will be DOT compliant, similar to how the C4 & C5 Corvettes are compliant, even though the headlamps are fixed to the hood and move with it when opened.

    Cybertruck Frunk

    I believe that many current owners do not use the frunk because it does not open/close electronically. Manually closing the delicate hood is often not worth the hassle of a potential dent/crease, IMO.

    Let's talk CT wiper......

    Excellent picture here...I'm glad that it confirms that it is actually two regular size wipers instead of one single mega-wiper.

    CyberTruck (CT) waiting room

    I hear you. I'm just disappointed because $80k is not what I signed up for 3+ years ago. Keeping my fingers crossed for some wiggle room once it finally does become available!

    CyberTruck (CT) waiting room

    This waiting game can get tricky! For example, I currently have a M3LR, that I was expecting to trade-in for the CT. With the recent price changes, my M3 has been severely devalued. My fear is that when the new/refreshed M3 arrives, I will take another financial hit. Those of us that don't...

    Solar installation shutting down in certain markets.

    Chris, I received the refund as credit added to the credit card used to initially place the deposit. If you have not heard anything yet, you can contact Tesla by drilling down in their menu to start a chat. Once this is started you should be prepared to provide the date of deposit and date of...

    Solar installation shutting down in certain markets.

    My installation was cancelled for the Delaware area in July, with similar wording about no longer servicing the area. Just received my deposit refund this week.

    Kneel function?

    Anyone hear if the CT will have a kneel function, similar to the Rivian R1T? This would be great for those of us with a vertically challenged spouse.

    T Sportline MSX Driver View Dash & LCD Display Cluster

    Thanks for this in-depth write up. Well done! While this unit does have an OEM look as opposed to the competition, I would want a version that keeps the wood dash. Sadly, that doesn't appear to be an option.

    Why choose Model 3 over Model Y if you can have more trunk space?

    When researching vehicles, I test drove the M3 & MY. As an older driver, I found the MY seat height to be perfect for entering/exiting the vehicle. Ended up buying the M3 because I felt the MY handling was too flabby. Additionally, I did not like the view of the "ring" in the rear-view...

    Speculating on Roll Out and Delivery Assuming 2023 Release

    I'm thinking that the first deliveries will go to employees, so they can more easily monitor for early problems.

    Tesla Energy Canceled order as they no longer Service Delaware

    On April 8th, I started the order process for solar panels and a powerwall in Delaware. After completing the various forms, site assessment, etc, I was informed on June 30th that my order has been cancelled, since they are no longer servicing my area. IMHO, if a decision is made to no longer...

    Some New Cybertruck Footage

    The windshield wiper looks to be only about half as long as what we have seen before. Wonder if it extends when in operation.

    CyberTruck Image Leaked

    The wiper, in addition to the greater than normal length, appears to be wider than normal. I'm wondering if this wiper has a section that pivots differently from the main blade.

    You Can See CT Price in Source Code

    Another option is that you could lease a Model-Y now, then get the CT when the lease expires.

    Hummer EV

    As a former Chevy Bolt owner, I would not even consider the Hummer until it had a few years of production. This is the first application of their Ultium battery packs. Typically, GM needs a few years to iron out anything new that they sell.

    Anyone switching to a Rivian R1T after watching reviews?

    There is no denying that the R1T is a good looking truck (inside & out), with many nice features. It will be interesting to see how the electric truck market plays out. IMO, many of these offerings are simply priced too high for the regular truck buyer. Hoping that the CT pricing doesn't go...

    Tesla deletes cheap Cybertruck from its website

    Let's face it - everything on this forum is speculation until the vehicle is actually built in a production version.:oops:
  39. B

    Thinking of placing the order...wanted expert insight.

    I was torn between the MY and the M3. You really need to test drive both before making a decision. I liked the higher seating position in the MY, but felt that the handling was flabby when comparing it to the M3. You mentioned driving mainly on winding country roads. For that kind of...

    Month in and...[model 3 new owner review]

    Let's cut the OP some slack here. There are many differences in how the language is spoken/written between the USA and the UK. We should help as much as possible to improve the OP's knowledge and experience. That is what we all should be doing for each other.

    Outdoor Home Charging?

    I think that when we actually get to test drive a Cybertruck, it will answer a lot of the questions that we currently have.

    Outdoor Home Charging?

    Thanks for the inputs. Good to know that some have been charging outdoors in their driveway without issues!
  44. B

    Outdoor Home Charging?

    Since the Cybertruck will most likely not fit in many of our garages, we will probably need to charge them in the driveway. Is anyone here currently set up with an outdoor charger at home? If yes, what has your experience been? My concern is the exposure to the elements.

    Cybertruck production likely delayed....Post your best guess of WHEN for the record!

    Keep the faith, brothers and sisters! We will get a truck from Tesla. It may or may not be the CT. Delays in the automotive world in general, and Tesla in particular are to be expected.

    Model 3 or 2?

    You should still have the option of leasing a Model 3. When the lease is up, you can see what other options may exist at that time (Model 2, Cybertruck, etc.).
