    Current Delivery Times

    dumb question; how will tow equipped vehicles be positively or negatively impacted with the battery change? Would people with tow package be having a slower delivery, or delayed delivery?

    Shopping for an ICE for my wife...

    When people debate ICE vs. EV, and discuss filling up, range, and the time associated with it, people often leave out the fact that if you charge your EV at home, you always leave the house with a full “tank”. Yes, we can all agree that a DC Fast Charger is slower than filling a gas tank up...

    Shopping for an ICE for my wife...

    I agree about ICE cars. They seem archaic, from a different time. I look at them, and It's like I see a horse and buggy, along with some fellow who has to follow around with a bucket and shovel....picking up horse crap along the way. All their efforts to have some performance in an ICE vehicle...

    Where do you want a new Supercharger?

    Michigan upper peninsula has a 150mi stretch between Escanaba and Mackinaw City supercharger. Cold stretch of country. This is just one example. Although there are going to be a lot of northern smaller towns that rely on tourism, and lacking in superchargers. State governments seem to be...

    Some 2022 Model Ys shipping with MCU3 (AMD Ryzen)

    As a new Tesla customer, it is annoying that they (dealers/service centers) can't get this straight. I'm not sure how to go address the issue. If they had model years, maybe they could more easily identify what is in a 2021 vs 2022.

    Gen 3 Wall Charger - Can I get data from it?

    So the Tesla Wall Charger has its own API that is accessible on your local intranet, but does not publish to the internet? I ask because there are solar panel inverters that have API’s and also publish data to the internet, but requires API key to access. These inverters also have an app that...

    AMA: I test drove a Mach-E GT Performance Edition and Model Y Long Range - and I bought a MYP

    TLDR: Delays, pricing games, old-school dealership sales tactics, too ICE’y, Sync infotainment, charging experience, range, towing, fit and finish Delays - dealership told me GT Performance models are backordered 12-18 months. People on the Mach-E forums have since told me that is a lie, and...

    MYLR vs Mach-e vs RAV4 Prime

    The infotainment and mapping software is what hurts the Mach-E, especially when compared against Tesla. It's clunky, sluggish..... The interior was dark, and just came in the one black color. The dealer we experience was atrocious; above MSRP pricing, inaccurate information about delays -...

    AMA: I test drove a Mach-E GT Performance Edition and Model Y Long Range - and I bought a MYP

    First EV experience was the Model Y Long Range. Second was the Mach-E GT Performance. After testing the Mach-E, I would make the purchase for a Model Y Performance with white interior and trailer hitch. Ask me anything. Or not. It doesn’t bother me. If there is anyone on the fence about a...

    Just to let you know , AMD Ryzen is so fast, everything feels like im using my home PC

    I AM SO STOKED. I will forever and always crack jokes about wanting to over clocking my car. In all seriousness, I really can’t wait to take delivery of MYP in March 2022 with buttttery smooth infotainment. Like Emeril would say; ‘Aww yea babe’

    Does the federal tax credit for residential EV charger require it to be installed prior to Dec 31st? Is it better to charge with a Tesla charger

    I just realized the residential EV charger tax credit expires on Dec 31st. Does the EV charger require installation before Dec 31st? I probably can’t get one installed, but could purchase one before the new year. Finally, is it a better idea to charge a Tesla with a Tesla at home charger? My...

    Some 2022 Model Ys shipping with MCU3 (AMD Ryzen)

    Yesterday, my SC said the last two weeks, everything has been coming with Ryzen. I wasn't sure if it was true. I am going to probably buy my MYP tonight, I am still going over my finances (I know I can afford one, I just want to trim unnecessary expenses, and run the numbers against my...

    Ride Quality of Tesla Model Y

    Is this fair to say though? The part about the 6-9 month order backlog. I can get a Model Y in 1 month, if I am willing to pay for performance package. If this school of thought is used w/ the Hummer EV; the Hummer EV has a 3year backlog (because the 80k Hummer EV is last priority, it is...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    If I buy a MYP tonight, and it is delivered in Feb 2022, and the Biden admin passes a bill; will I be eligible for a tax credit? I am not sure how this works; does the bill need to be signed in to office before I take delivery? This is so stupid. Why can’t congress just pass a less ridiculous bill?

    Model Y Performance Totally Impractical for Snowy Climates?

    I am from a colder climate. I like the looks of the MYP. I dislike the idea of less range, especially as an ICE convert. The MYP supposedly has worse ride quality, due to lowered suspension and larger rim. Don't forget potholes potentially denting the rim... The MYP also has the more expensive...

    Model Y P vs Rivian R1S

    I like the R1S, but a realistic ETA for delivery of a late 2021 reservation.....that has to be out in 2024~ I also think we have no data points pertaining to Rivian - build quality, defects, charging speed perfo, charging experience, bugs, new delays, ride quality, reliability,etc Imo, Rivian...

    Another Price Increase? 11/11

    I wonder how much these price increases over the last 8 months have impacted insurance rates. I also constantly consider the resale value of such an expensive purchase (expensive for me). The Model Y resale market is going to be one of the most screwy markets ever. Like if I go to sell my...

    Another Price Increase? 11/11

    I am your typical millennial tech worker, always worried about my long term career viability, as things rapidly change. Growing up and seeing dot com crash, along with 2007-2008 doesn't help make me confident in large amounts of household debt, either. So of course, I'm hesitant to toss 50-60k...

    Help me decide: Model Y or Mach-E

    More comparisons with Apple vs PC’s and Tesla vs ICE could be considered. Did you ever have an HP DV9000x 15.6” with a AMD Turion - that overheated? And…no one cared? Like the issue existed, but the company never did anything to fix it? And then, the brand just discontinues the model - for it...

    Help me decide: Model Y or Mach-E

    I am in a similar position. Q4 Etron also comes to mind; but deliveries might not be until January. Lucid is also interesting, but way out there with deliveries. Tesla has some serious advantages, that as an ICE convert, I feel are a big deal. Like… Infotainment mapping software - ability to...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I think I've come to accept the alignment of body panels as part of the Tesla experience. Very interesting that there are new issues being discovered with the door handles. I am realllly hoping this 2021 Model w/ 353 mile range is going to be "the year"; where build quality is as good as it...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    If someone were to place an order for a 2021 Model 3 AWD long range model; what build quality issues would they need to be on the lookout for? Given the age of the Model 3, I would be surprised if they are still making changes to the build process on a 5-6 year old vehicle. I would naively...

    Model 3/Y/S buyer on the fence. Worried about missing features

    Most likely considering a Model Y due to the space, but have considered the 3 / S for their range and quality. I've read Tesla has really figured out how to build the Model S, and that not only does its fit & finish standout, but its quality stands out compared to the 3 / Y as well.And of...
