    So much for Tesla's no resale clause - 11 Cybertrucks currently on Ebay

    Why would they want it back? Once it's out of their hands, they never want it back unless you are buying another one. I truly don't know what's the point of this truck. Just to get people starred at wherever you go? Would you really enjoy driving it? Wait a few more years and nobody will want...

    Is the new Macan EV a MY killer?

    By the time this Macan EV is released, there will be a refreshed Y, and better than ever before.

    Cold Weather Chicago?

    Well, I am in Chicago, and yeah the arctic weather had an impact on pretty much everything, even my house water pipes got frozen, let alone my Tesla mpg... I rely on my home charger and heated garage. Once I leave my garage the MY battery goes down fast, but I still enjoy instant cabin heat and...

    Counting Teslas while you drive?

    5 yr-old Model 3 smoother than brand new Model X

    Hard to believe a brand new X would have an out of spec alignment.. You need to re-balance the tires to rule them out.

    Purchasing experience is SO much worse than it was a few years ago

    It was fairly easy for me, though. Getting the Tesla financing simplified the process. I just paid off the down payment on site.. They did reschedule the pickup only once, though..

    Model Y Floor Mats

    I have the Tesmanian version 1 and they're perfect. Very solid quality, and priced just well.

    My Pride Shattered!

    The EVs can miserably fail while driving on the highway creating a life threatening hazard. There is no any sort of backup system. For example the aircraft can fly on a single engine if one fails. They also have numerous power source backups. On the other hand the ICE is less likely to fail out...

    Cold Weather Chicago?

    I really doubt that 5k sq ft home would have limited electricity circuit. When was the house build?

    I can't decide!! Used S vs new Y

    The S is awesome on it's own My wife said it is indeed hard to get in and get out. The Y is more practical. The build quality is fairly similar to both. The Plaid makes more sense but the standard not too much and I guess it needs to be refreshed.

    Cold Weather Chicago?

    Well I am in Chicago and have the Y. It's less efficient than in the Summer. Charging is a concern regardless of the season. It is best to charge at home from the 240V circuit. If you can charge at home, get the car!

    In the future when my battery needs replacement, will they use the new tech?

    It is going to be a problem. I have a 14 year old Prius with the original traction battery. It could die anytime now and the replacement options are overwhelming. With poor warranties offered, you just hope the replacement is going to last at least a year whatever option you pick. It's going to...

    Is the MY the best Tesla vehicle?

    It has to be the S. The oldest and the most refined, but the least popular.

    Who buys Tesla Model 3 with 100k miles at CarMax?

    CarMax isn't the worst place when shopping for a used car. It's a lot better than dealing with random sellers and scammers.

    2023 M3P winter wheel/tires again, sorry. 18", 19", or 20" OEM or aftermarket, but with a twist

    The wheels came in flawless condition. Not a single mark on it. Mounted today, tested at 80mph and its perfect. Good service, I wouldn't hesitate.

    Winter Tire Ordering Craziness

    Tesla policy is ridiculous. They will not ship tires to you, so don't waste your time ordering from them.

    Rotating tires, do I need balancing

    On my Prius I used to do balancing and rotating at Costco twice a year... That was a waste of time... Never again. Now, I just buy tires & wheels combo and throw them Winter/Summer. I don't have to worry until the tires are worn and need to be replaced. You are basically rotating your self as...

    2023 M3P winter wheel/tires again, sorry. 18", 19", or 20" OEM or aftermarket, but with a twist

    TSportline is running a sale now I purchased the 19" X-Ice package during the labor day sale for my MYP and just mounted today. Swapping the wheels is pretty straight forward process IMO. Keep in mind my if you order through Tesla they will ship to dealer and you will have to schedule the appt...

    When to Replace 12v?

    True, but I wonder why tesla 12V dies so quick. Is it due for not being constantly charged enough? The inverter on the Prius takes care of the 12V and the HV battery.

    When to Replace 12v?

    It's strange how Tesla 12V battery dies after 2-3 years while my Prius 12V still runs strong after 9+ years..

    Coming from ICE MDX

    A bit odd comparison IMO I've driven the MDX and found the engine to be annoying even though it was stable on the road, but so its my Tesla and many other cars feel the same The MDX is a gas guzzler is not even a hybrid and it has been like that for the past 10-15 years? You need SHAWD? Really...

    model Y Performance with downsized wheel to increase range?

    I just purchased the 19" winter tire package from the TSportline. I have yet to see how they perform, but speed rating doesn't really bother me and safety is definitely a bigger concern.

    New 2023 MY - What do you think about the mileage

    This is totally normal and my MYP acts the same. The efficiency will be crap during the hot/cold days. This is nothing like the ICE car IMO. You will need to charge more than you think.

    Tire package from Tesla

    Summer is nearing the end and I am already eyeing for winter packages. My current ones are at 6k miles in and in superb condition, so I just wonder how can I keep the possession of my tires?

    Tire package from Tesla

    Assuming I will be buying tire package from Tesla. Once they get the tires, will they rush to install it or can keep them for some time? Also, where are they going to put the current ones? I don't think all the 21" can fit into the back.

    12V Battery Replacement - Local Options?

    I have the Prius as well. Their AGM batteries are superb and lasts 10+ years. On the other hand, the Tesla 12V AGM lasts only up to 3 years? I suppose they aren't getting enough juice to last much longer.
