    Model S Plaid "Manage" order goes to white screen..

    Is anyone else having trouble getting to their Model S Plaid order? My Cybertruck manage button works, as well as the Model 3 we bought a few weeks ago. But my Plaid reservation won't open.

    2019 Model X Raven: Lease or Finance?!

    Leasing completely insulates the user from risk. If there is any type of event the brand, model, options, version you choose has a marketplace challenge, nothing changes for you. If you own it, you would suffer any negative market trends. If it swings the other way, simply buy it for the...

    2016 Model X 90D $112,700 sticker

    It's growing on us quite a bit, might just keep it a while. Not to mention that 10-15% of the cars I play with Loose money. There are no guarantees! Another dealer friend of mine offered me a $114k White on White X 90D with 7k miles and 7 seats for $95k yesterday. If anyone wants that for a...

    2016 Model X 90D $112,700 sticker

    How could anyone possibly not care for the mechanical and electrical aspects of a Tesla in less than a couple months? What is there to care for other than updates and service bulletins. The car resides in my personal garage plugged in to a Tesla wall charger and is professionally detailed...

    2016 Model X 90D $112,700 sticker

    All in my humble opinion. And I enjoy the debate. :) How do you not discount this uncertainty with everyone then? Meaning, a one owner person who you don't know offers a car vs me, the "Flipper"? My point is this, if you either knew me personally or anyone who does, you would fully...

    Let's see.... Where to begin? * I welcome the commentary, it provides an opportunity to explore the amazing world of Tesla and many perspectives!!! Thank you. Sincerely. 1. I view this car as a "play with and sell" by the current owner. More akin to buying a rental than from a private party...

    2016 Model X 90D $112,700 sticker

    The Model X was safely in our garage here in Lake County. Our highest wind gusts were approx. 40 mph. A blanket of leaves and very small limbs were the extent of challenges for us. Eustis, Fl. is located 28 miles West - Northwest of Orlando. I was bragging to friends however that the Model X...

    2016 Model X 90D $112,700 sticker

    It seems the OBO has been completely overlooked. It's not inconceivable that the right situation could result in a $110k sale. However unlikely, it is a possibility. It always depends on circumstances for both the buyer and seller. Will I ultimately sell it for that or $85k a year from now...

    I understand and don't disagree that patience can provide a better price. But availability is a factor too. There are no white cars equipped this way in the market for the price you suggest today. Would I take less? A little. For you or anyone else to order a new one will take 1-2 months...

    First Model X with 8.0

    Firmware 7.1

    Another very cool opportunity this creates is a specifically designed space for parking a Tesla at home or at a business. Imagine a container style structure with less than 3-4" of clearance everywhere. You could actually have a pod like device that would totally protect the car and be...

    I will openly admit that I cannot even begin to understand what moves TSLA either way. It seems like the most unusual or other times exactly what you would expect. Just have to live with what ever comes I suppose. What I can comment on is how excited I am personally to receive the 7.1...

    I have heard from a number of friends who invest regularly they sold most if not all their positions (non TSLA) before the end of the year. I seriously doubt they and many others will re-enter until something really significant occurs. Like it or not, we could test new lows which are market...

    Faraday Future

    May I please suggest watching this video with an open mind? I watched it for the very first time this morning and now believe the concept car presented last night was not the "Foundation" of their future. Just an element of what they are capable of. Listen for the comment about the "Car" they...

    Seriously, that can't possibly be real. If they spent any significant time on this they should be sent back to design school. It has to be a spoof.

    It's okay, I absolutely love the cars and the company! I was apologizing to BobbyDucati for dragging him into more calls last week like me. And you are correct that the weekend presentation was well balanced. But when I suggested a downturn for today the response was a solid dose of the...

    Yeah, sorry Bobby, there was way too much KoolAid going around over the weekend. My positions are at their lowest for the last 12 months. Can't seem to get the timing right anymore. I only have Jan 17s to dig me out now. I seriously don't see anything strong enough to save the Jan or now Mar...

    Feels like the day after the MX launch all over again. Might just have to accept the reality of low to mid $200s for this year. Everything seems priced in at this point. For the next 30 days at least. All we have for that period are potential downturn drivers like Farraday concept car that...

    Yes, I personally inspected two up close Tuesday and it is at least 3-5" wider. A MX was parked directly in front of a MS with the driver's side aligned perfectly. The pass. side was every bit of 5" wider I think. But obviously I don't think it matters much. it didn't bother the Hummer 2...

    While it's a solid number for long term growth, it's substantially less than I expected given the commentary from so many folks within the delivery process. With no commentary on the Norway situation things look dismal to me. I expect an immediate down trend and the likelihood I'll watch my...

    Hang in the brother! I'm picking up my new 90D MS tomorrow morning. I could have paid for it completely with my losses since the MX launch! It'l come back for us. We might have a few expire worthless before it's turned around but we'll get there.
