    Ohm Wheels feedback?

    How is the quality of the ohm rim? I’m looking at replacing my model 3 Aeros with 19’” protons. Anyone who made a comparable switch have any feedback with durability and impact on range? Thanks!

    Best wheel for handling on M3 2021 LR (18 vs 19" vs 19" aftermarket)

    Was your range impacted going with these 19"? If so, how much? I have had my LR M3 for a week now and looking to replace my 18" aeros. Also, did you get staggered? Thanks for any info you can provide. This is all new to me. Thanks.

    Model 3 - 2022 Factory 18” Wheel, Tire and Aero-Covers for sale - South Florida

    I took delivery of my 2022 Model 3 a few days ago and looking to sell my 18” factory wheels, tires and aero covers. I decided I want some aftermarket 19’s;purely for looks. Less than 100 miles on currently but probably closer to 500 miles by time of sale. No damage. Looking to get $1500 for the...

    2021 EV Tax Credit

    I have spoke to multiple Tesla reps and was told that up to three times they won't really ask any questions. After the 3rd assignment they then reach out to you to see what the deal is. So you should be perfectly fine based on that. Alternatively, you could ask the rep to put a temporary hold on...

    2021 EV Tax Credit

    Correct with regards to new rebate. But potential new bill would repeal old bill with 200,000 cap. Thus, although one could not get the new credit(S) one could potentially get old credit for this year as cap would be lifted. Again, so much still up in the air so it is anyone's guess.

    True, it is largely pure speculation at this point.

    2021 EV Tax Credit

    Bill itself is not retroactive but cap applied to Tesla could be lifted. Meaning, one could potentially still benefit from $7,500.00 refund on this years taxes. However, none of us know what is actually going to be in the final language (if it passes) and I also postponed my delivery until more...

    2021 EV Tax Credit

    House is voting now and looks like Build Back Better Act is going to pass. However, if it passes, it will still need to go before Senate. Could be passed, modified, rejected from that point.

    What wheels and tires do you have on the 3?

    Looks like the Infrastructure Bill passes! (not the bill with EV tax credits)

    Similar boat here but on the fence. Likely going to see how things are going with the vote. If all the clowns are still posturing and deal not looking imminent in a couple weeks then I’m going to take delivery. One of my concerns is waiting but value of my trade going down or something...

    Is LR worth an extra 6k?

    Long Range w/aeros in my opinion. I was debating between LR and Performance but ultimately rolling with Long Range w/aeros and going to get aftermarket wheels/tires.

    Build Back Better EV Tax Credits = massive discrimination against foreign manufacturers?

    I'm not a big Biden fan myself but who gives a flying **** if EU gets upset. They'll get over it.

    Will EV Tax Credits Crater Used Tesla Prices

    I placed an order for a M3LR last week with estimated delivery of 12/14 - 12/31. It has been moved up to 11/14 - 11/28. Lots of people are delaying delivery it would appear.

    Will EV Tax Credits Crater Used Tesla Prices

    Depends on what is passed. There has been a proposed $2,500.00 credit for qualifying used car purchases also. Time will tell.

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    I understand that but circumstances change over time and just because something is happening now doesn't mean the same thing will be happening later

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    I do not have my VIN yet but reached out via text earlier today to Tesla. I was told to contact them once I had my VIN. They said if I am not ready then I can wait until the next one arrives. It was through text but they seemed receptive so we'll see.

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    What I'm saying is the value of your trade will likely drop then compared to what you would get now. Who is going to want to pay a premium for a used tesla when they can get a new one for thousands cheaper? The decrease in price for the trade would then offset savings from credit.

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    Could try doing that but the market for used teslas may dry up drastically. That said, I haven't read the entire bill and not sure if the credit could be used for a non-new vehicle.

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    If I'm Tesla, I absolutely permit people to push deliveries into first of the year. This savings only strengthens the brand and costs Tesla nothing. If anything, many people buying will be stoked with the savings and opt to spend chunks of the believed savings on various other upgrades. I do not...

    2021 EV Tax Credit

    Would it be possible to accept my payment in December, accrue it on their books, and forward date the invoice date to January 1st? No, this is not permissible.

    Fuel/Maintenance Savings vs. reasonable expectations

    Thanks! You are right with the maintenance. While under an extended warranty with Audi, I got all my work done at the dealership. Couldn't walk out of there without spending at least $300. Had a local garage do some of the work that I couldn't justify spending with Audi so being out of their...

    Near-future quarterly financial projections

    All are valid concerns and statements. There are also many uninformed people that do not and will never realize the federal credit is potentially on the table.

    Fuel/Maintenance Savings vs. reasonable expectations

    When looking at numbers I keep fuel and electricity in the same pot of outlays and offset in my estimates. However, I am sure I'll still balk momentarily when I see my increased electric bill for the first few times, lol. I'll just have to remember the feeling I had this morning when paying...

    Fuel/Maintenance Savings vs. reasonable expectations

    10.4¢/kWh. No, it will not offset it completely especially considering my car is paid off; however, my S5 has 75,000 miles on it and is no longer under warranty. Best case scenario I keep the car for another 12 months and will continue to drastically depreciate with the miles I'm now putting on...

    Fuel/Maintenance Savings vs. reasonable expectations

    Local utility rate in my area is comparable and gets me to a comparable figure as the calculators I was using. Thanks for the insight.

    Fuel/Maintenance Savings vs. reasonable expectations

    A couple different calculators I tried came up with a comparable figure. Seemed high which is why I asked the question. This past year I've been spending between $89 - $110 per week in fuel. Low end $90 x 52 = $4,680.00 in fuel. Multiple that by 5 years and it comes to $23,400.00 for fuel...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Think Tesla is planning on changing the 19" sports rims option/design so pushing on getting what they have out of inventory?

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Ordered: 10/27/21 Estimated Delivery: 12/7 - 12/31/21 Specs: 18" aero; midnight silver/black interior. Note: I plan on switching tires/wheels to 19" and likely selling 18's so looking for any suggestions. I like the look of the compatible OHM wheel so far but need to research more into it.

    Fuel/Maintenance Savings vs. reasonable expectations

    Hi all! I recently ordered a Model 3 LR with estimated delivery in December. I am excited at the thought of getting away from ICE (currently drive an Audi S5) mainly because I cringe every time I am at the pump paying for premium fuel. It didn't bother me as much in recent years but after moving...

    2021 M3P Range

    good luck. Seems like you should be good :)

    2021 M3P Range

    thanks for the insight! I’ve read countless articles talking about estimated range but hearing from people with first hand experience is very useful. yeah, it’s super hot here a lot of the year and am guessing the AC cranked up won’t help with range.

    2021 M3P Range

    I am planning on pressing the buy button tonight on the M3P. I am coming from an S5 and now I drive 85-95 miles a day during the week. However, I am questioning whether the range will be sufficient considering I’m driving mainly on the highway at pretty high speeds. I do not have to deal with...

    Downsides of Performance vs Long Range?

    I currently drive an S5 and close to making the move to a model 3. Did you make the switch and how did you find the transition to be? I also love my S5 but about to be out of warranty and I am now commuting around 90 miles a day during the week so fuel/oil change savings would be pretty...

    M3P - Who switched from a (true) sports car?

    Currently have an S5 and looking to get into a M3P mainly for the savings I’m fuel costs. I currently drive 90 miles round trip for work and costs/maintenance alone seems like making the switch is a no brainer. Thanks for the post
