Thank you, good point, I overlooked that. I've had zero charging issues from my Gen 3 in 4 years. However my '21 MYLR had a charge port issue 6 months in. No problem replacing under warranty. Taking care of your battery is easy. Much easier than an ICE car.

Daily, keep it within the 50-80% range if possible. Although rarely mentioned, I charge my cars at 32 amps because I have the luxury of time-to-charge. No need to stress the hardware more than necessary. On long road trips, I usually start out at 85% and hit the superchargers at 10% or so...

I like to live between 50% and 80% except when I can't. 😎

I'm retired and road trip my MY's a couple of times per year. "Leasing" the software for those trips would be sweet...

70 yr old guy here with 2 spinal fusions... I test drove a M3 I bought 2 Model Y's

For Crying Out Loud Tesla, Can't you get the "vehicle" direction correct? Recall every car.

I use Chemical Guys VRP cleaner/protector for the interior seats and soft areas. Also, Keep your wood dash trim good looking with a periodic polish. I use Old English.

Fishing line also works well

Cutting one's nose off to spite your face never works. The nags are minimal, But, you be you, It's your money

Yep, Me too at my collision repair facility. The property is geo-fenced so tesla "owns" any cars within the perimeter of their property.

My Two Cents... Low production plus maximum hype equals $uce$$ for Tesla, despite any and all flaws. There will always be that die-hard group of folks that will drop down any price to be the first-to-have. There is plenty not to like about the CT. I doubt that a lucid (See what I did there?)...

I'm going to say this, but understand, I'm not being mean... You and your spouse need to learn how to handle your money better. My seasoned advice? Sell both Settle your current debts Forget the Rivian

I have 2 model Y's and I have never come upon the dilemma of needing to charge both concurrently.

Re: Continrentals: I have 22k on my 2021, and they just got their first rotation. I had mobile service out at 12k miles, but the technician told me the tires looked great and advised me to wait till 20k. The tires are surprisingly durable and have far exceeded my expectations. I'm expecting at...

Dirty Tesla Guy on YT placed his order for the "Limited Edition" CT/FE today...The orders pile on. My packet of magic quantum qubits tells me that no one individual will ever "see" more than 1,000 FE series trucks. Tesla's Corporate Accounting abacus says otherwise.

I have one of each... My 2021 has USS, My 2023 No USS, thinks everything that's not the same color of the pavement is an obstacle. I'm not exactly "over the moon" on the Park Assist feature, it's still not as good as USS.

Too much & impossible 😛

22.32.9 is your current software version Numbers such as 2.5, 3.0, 4.0 etc refer to the hardware installed in the car when built. Software will download automagically when parked within range of an accessible WiFi network Hope this helps

This Guy... Marques Brownlee. He test drove the RC trucks and knows more than any one of us.

Kiss the $7.5k rebate goodbye... That's going to be factory installed.

Over Promised, and Under Delivered. Musk got too way far over his skis on this one. The range extender is a bolt-on patch to make-true a lofty promise. Removeable? Fugetaboutit! You're going to need a hoist.

Yep, That's the generated image of the non-removeable, yet-to-be-built range extender occupying 1/3 of your 4x6 bed. Word is that's a $16k block of battery. Voila! There's your 400+ mile range.

I dislike the whole idea of the extender. Today, it's vapor-hardware and a placeholder to make-true some lofty 400+ mile goals spoken by Musk back in 2019. The AWD/Beast range specs match my model Y's. This leads me to believe that tne short lived 4680 MY was a testbed for the CT. 400/800...

Yes, you will need the paper title. The state title system is for their benefit, not ours. 😎 They're easy to order, and you can request fast processing for a few extra bucks.

3D MAXipders... I outfitted 2 MYs with a full set. Cleans beautifully.

Vision does see more "things" on the road such as poles. Curbs do need refinement. My region has oblique curbs, >90 degrees to the road surface. Vision is seeing these as obstacles. I'm getting intermittant warnings just pulling onto my driveway. Annoying, but t will get fixed. I spent 40...

My screen went wild with beeps & color bands pulling into my garage. Nope. Not even close to being on par with my 2021.

I had similar damage bonking a tree at < 10 mph... $21k for mine, but that included a new radiator and lines. Fixable, no problems, just time 😎

A tree jumped out in front of my 2021 MYLR causing moderate front end damage, including loss of coolant. Repair was easy, but getting to car to charge became a perplexing issue. A previous failure of an ECU necessitated replacement. Both my certified repair shop and the Tampa service center...

Not Better, But provides a foundation for the experience to follow. Life is not binary, And you're not Grace Slick.

I had similar damage when we bonked a tree at about 8 mph, dead center. Not totaled. My repair included bumper, hood, 1 headlight, plus the radiator. Coolant leaked and caused overheating on a ECU. That needed replacement exacerbating the damage. That repair was $21k, 2 months total in a...

Fortunate enough to take delivery of Tesla #2 this week. A thought popped into my head since I'm road tripping up to NY this summer... How about adding multiple Tesla arrows to our dash displays? The only requirement I see could be vehicles must be under the same account. Good idea? Would be eay.

$3,500 - $4,000 is roughly the cost of the midnight cherry red out of Berlin. I would expect those to hit $5,000 once available in N.A.

Well, Son of a gun... I wonder if Tesla will still keep the supercharger at Riverview. This is a better location and access.

I have a black MYLR, and I'm picking up #2 in red, next week I've had "Vader" for over a year. I purchased Xpel ppf and had the ppf finished with Gtechniq ceramic. The finish is durable, beautiful, and cleans very easy. I use Optimum No Rinse (ONR) for washing. No suds, I can do it in my...

Once the Feds increased the MY rebate cap tp $80k, Tesla has zero incentive to lower prices this year. Current MY backlog is now Apr-Jun. On the contrary, expect prices to rise until the demand slows.

Agreed... No one thinks your brave or a leader calling out a boss in public. As for the antics... I'm too am personally tired of this. And none of his outside activities beyond Tesla or SpaceX works to improve his standing. And, as for SpaceX, Musk is more the face. Shotwell runs the shop.

Welcome! I have the 19 inch. I've never driven on the 20s. However strong consensus (before the 2023 model year) panned the 20s as being a too uncomfortable without air suspension.

I had similar damage to my MYLR. Major components: Hood Front bumper Radiator (coolant loss) One headlight (most expensive part) brackets, coolant hose Fenders & doors realigned and painted No structural damage $21,000 Performed by a very well respected certified collision in Tampa FL. Ins...

Weigh the potential price increases whilst waiting for 5.0 vs. 1.2 mp cameras. With the MYLR cap now at $80k, that could become a pricey wait.

I doubt it's totaled, but it's much more than $7-10k. More like $18-20k

I just saw Amir last week... He said thanks for the use of your car. The Feds have it and once processed, you can pick it u Oh, btw, He needs some help making bail.

Buying a $60k and spray painting parts to save a few bucks is not for me. While I'm at it, the OP (which you're not), might also want to "waste" money on ppf. Or maybe he can spray that on too.

Black. Lose the Gemini wheel covers and replace with Rimetrix, or something like that. Go with Xpel UV window tint & PPF if in budget My grandson named mine "Vader".

Job #1... Get it towed to a repair shop of YOUR choice for an estimate. Take ownership and drive the process. I have similar damage to my front end. Waiting for All-State who is dragging its feet. My damage from shop in Tampa Bay... Hood Front fascia Bumper 2 fenders 1 head light Radiator and...

Yes, The ECU Charge port controller was replaced. Mine was Gen 4 part # NA(1537264-00-B) A bit of research showed there was a rash of ECU replacements earlier in 2022. No cost.

Tesla #2 on Order... Just ordered #2 at the exact same price of my 2021. Plus $7,500 rebate to boot.

A tree ambushed my 2021 MYLR placing a notable "V" into the the bumper. The frunk? It just folded. Radiator damage and coolant leak. 😎 Anyhow, I'm asking if anyone can speak to high-quality collisions centers in the Tampa Bay area. One's that put the car back in spec. Thanks in advance.

Hey Sweetness, If you cannot produce a FL bill of sale, The FL DMV will add $500 to your initial registration for bringing in an out-of-state car. Period.

Remember also that to register an-out-of-state car in FL will cost you $500 additional.
