Oh NM I see you were moving. Good luck with the repairs / getting it totaled, 1000 miles..thats just bad luck.

Maybe this? That notorious driver side dash rattle..

Funny you should mention that because this summer I found myself looking forward to taking those charging breaks on cross-state jaunts.

Yes I need some more coffee :-) That's a fairly insignificant change though , statistically speaking.

Kia/Hyundai have a decent design language IMO, just not sure how the designs will age.

"gradually improved" ? Your Wh/mi are degrading in terms of efficiency between the Conti's -> Michelin.

Ah got it so the complaint is the previous "entry" model is gone, replaced by something that was previously 6k more, now its 7k more (net $1k increase). Yep they got me :-(

Next year’s EV6 will start at $49,795, including a $1,295 destination charge — a 16 percent price hike, or $7,100 more than last year’s model. Chevy Bolt has a fairly significant perception problem to overcome and arguably remains the best value for a BEV...

Uh huh... https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/9/23449741/kia-ev6-price-increase-electric-vehicle-ev-affordable

My wife has a 2021 Highlander Platinum and I've got a 2022 MYP. The Highlander is leagues above the MYP in terms of ride comfort and overall "pleasant" to drive over long stretches of highway that include a mix of amazingly smooth and terribly awful in terms of not well maintained roads /...

Hmm that seems completely wrong, what a terrible delivery experience...

Not when I ordered. Taxes were not calculated until there is an MVPA document generated, Order agreement has no taxes on it. You always pay taxes where it's ordered. Order agreement: MVPA (generated when you have a VIN and delivery is scheduled) is when taxes are calculated. I took delivery...

Well that sounds like a miserable delivery experience :-( Regarding taxes, from your initial order agreement: "Price indicated does not include taxes and governmental fees, which will be calculated as your delivery date nears. You will be responsible for these additional taxes and fees. "

That's not what they said (yes I realize it's a bit waffly) https://www.tesla.com/support/transitioning-tesla-vision

Actually no, the uberturbines don't have nearly the resale you'd think (2-2.5k). I kept mine for whenever its time to get rid of the vehicle.

So you're good with spending ~$85k out the door on the car, but not $2k to properly shoe it? Interesting...

I realize your narrative draws this same conclusion but for clarity - "Check your tires if you want all seasons" would imply that you have any choice in the matter, like Tesla will swap them out. Not how it works. Your options are to reject the car, and hope some with Michelin appear later, or...

Agreed on the seating position. I'm not quite your age but its the primary reason I went with a Y over a 3. The headroom also makes the cabin just feel better for lack of any better word. Ventilated seats - you can check out Katzkin, they sell full leather replacements and have perforated AND...

Would have helped but I didn't have enough coffee yet when I posted, and apologize for being snippy.

We don't "need" Tesla to help save the climate, they're a tiny variable in a much larger equation. They moved the needle in terms of pushing the industry towards BEV, but technological advances are littered with examples of failed companies that innovated and got swept away by competition that...

The way I read it is for $10k less, one can have a Lyriq. I'll print this thread and eat it while livestreaming on Twitch if someone can post a receipt for a $64k Lyriq (minus the invariants like delivery fee and taxes). They haven't locked the price on the Lyriq so saying it was an "apples to...

Do you even know what the Turing test entails? If you're arguing that defining FSD as "artificial intelligence" requires it pass the Turing test then go google it and then come back to explain its relevancy to FSD in our Tesla's. Every modern programming language back to C is Turing complete...

I'd isolate the general category of 'nvh' to single out the suspension. Noise, squeaks, rattles, other annoyances, at least in my vehicle, are low, NA, NA and NA respectively. The ride quality could be improved but this should have been identified during a test drive if it was a dealbreaker for...

Ahem: 2024 LYRIQ All-Wheel Drive MSRP Starting at Around: $64,000* *Actual MSRP will be determined by vehicle configuration. Full vehicle features, specs, pricing and colors to be announced closer to the start of production. Excludes tax, title, license, dealer fees and other optional equipment...

That's criminal. These anti-solar poison pills energy companies are *allowed* to adopt need to be eradicated by legislation. It should be based on the price they're currently charging customers, not a fraction thereof.

We've chewed this piece of gum many times in various threads about why prices are higher. It's many different things in a fairly short period of time: Consumer spending going ballistic during covid, corporate greed, inflationary pressures on inputs (materials, wages), higher demand due to a...

Eventually someone will tick all the boxes, its just a question of whether Tesla can drive fit / finish and file off some of the sharp edges (looking at you, MY suspension and no ventilated seats!) faster than the incumbents get their propulsion/efficiency/range/software serviceability up to...

I lol'd at your Taycan comments. While not an owner, friend of mine bought almost the most expensive Taycan you can load up at nearly 200k.. Didn't comment on charging but had nothing but negative things to say about the infotainment / MCU system being a buggy piece of garbage requiring multiple...

I think people would be less snippy when posters looking for suggestions or to vent aren't so intractable wrt to their position. "I've always done it this way" just sounds a bit silly when you replay it in your head. No debate Autopilot/FSD need improvements, and it's good to hear anecdotes from...

For me it's about Waze and Apple Music,, that's basically it. Many people are also weary of yet another subscription, which is required for traffic aware navigation and native streaming apps like Spotify. Giving them other options they're already paying for/have available in the Apple or Android...

At least you're making it easy for people to train their ignore list....

Its really the best color, very happy that I switched from MSM.

Ventilated seats are the interior feature that until someone has in a vehicle, don't really get what they're missing.

Well its AI driven, and all AI must pass the Turing test. /s

Punctuating generalized statements that can't possibly be reflective of every Mercedes with a capitalized word cutting off debate strikes me as extremely condescending and pretty off-putting. (slight thread derail, feel free to move if a better subforum or thread) Having said that, I did rent...

If someone is "value-focused" they would have realized several price hikes ago that Tesla has been catering to the Audi/BMW/Mercedes audience, not the Accord/Camry market, and noped out on the $250 deposit and moved on. Without regular access to cheap or free charging, and learning to drive...

The fact that you're 62 and been driving since 14 doesn't make using cruise control on snowy windy roads while towing any wiser of a decision.

"most regular folks" aren't buying a $70k+ SUV, they're buying a $35k CRV/ Rav4 / Escape / et al and even then are likely taking on more of a car payment than they ought to.

While Autopilot seems to have improved over the last 6 months, its certainly imperfect and needs a lot of improvement before I'd consider it highly trustworthy/dependable.

This has zero to do with production numbers. Whether its 200k cars annually or 20m, cars aren't an appreciating asset, with very few peculiar exceptions. Now that cheap / free money is out the window, look for weakness in some of those "peculiar" cars as well until the economy stabilizes.

Thanks for mansplaining it. I feel less confused now.

OP seemed to focus on a single topic - "cost per mile" over a 35mpg ICE equivalent. All this other stuff about saving the environment, instant torque, better reliability (a highly subjective statement to say the least), a car not *really* getting 35mpg on the highway due to driving habits and...

Likely better off moving the thread here as it's not specific to the MY/P and appears to be a UK thing. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/forums/the-uk-and-ireland.114/

Of all the first world problem / weird flex posts...sheesh. How in the world would a number on the card help associate with a car?

I've bought multiple combos from Tirerack without any drama re: balancing, wrong or missing TPMS, any other issues really. The trade off you're making is a far wider array of options and potentially some cost savings vs. dealing with a local. People that don't live in a major metro area have...

There's not a right answer here but I as a parent would not give a Tesla to a first time driver. Teens have poor judgement and its not their fault and it's not merely poor judgement due to lack of experience and ability to contextualize, its biology.

This is clickbait anti EV propaganda. Leaf is a short hop commuter type BEV, and Wyoming is the least populated state in America. What a stupid article, I lost braincells ;)

Why? Who cares what one State of Florida <title here> said?

There may have been an EV fire after the storm, but that doesn't mean the storm (and flooding) caused the fire.

Not necessarily. EV fire *after* the storm != EV fire *because of* the storm
