    My timing is horrible. Missed the Rebate and Missed the Price Reduction

    i'm not a financial advisor, but there is a good chance ANYTHING you bought over the last year will be worth less in 1 year, 2 years, or 3 years from now the federal reserve has literally said flat out they want to bring down the prices of everything to fight inflation. so people need to...

    My timing is horrible. Missed the Rebate and Missed the Price Reduction

    yes and there are tons of threads on here with people crying about that. in the end the lower the price goes and more people go EV the better for the planet. isn't that the main reason people on here are buying tesla's? or is it just for vanity reasons? i leased mine and the price 2 weeks ago...

    any reason why a new 12A outlet in a garage keeps tripping, and why is my Amps keep changing after supercharging

    so my house is gonna burn down now? you sound like those oil loving boomers who keep claiming how dangerous tesla's are and how they blow up and all that. good advice on not plugging it in. i merely did it to see what would happen. but no i didn't just leave it plugged in and then go to...

    My timing is horrible. Missed the Rebate and Missed the Price Reduction

    if your timing was horrible you would have bought about 15 months ago when prices were at their peaks. the model 3 basic was selling for $48K in the USA. now it is at $40K + a tax credit i know a guy who bought the performance about 2 years ago who is roughly 12K underwater now

    Thinking of the Tesla Model 3/Y but have some questions

    my advice is go test drive one. you can spend time with it and check it all out. that will answer most your questions. hell you can even bring it home too if you live close enough. they usually let you take it for like 30-45 minutes some of your other questions like the 9.99 a month you will...

    any reason why a new 12A outlet in a garage keeps tripping, and why is my Amps keep changing after supercharging

    which is the point of the thread. i'm trying to figure out why it happened. it kept trying to charge at 25amps or something and kept tripping. when i manually dropped the amps down to 5amps it stopped tripping, then i manually took it up to 12a and it charged fine. but a few days later out of...

    any reason why a new 12A outlet in a garage keeps tripping, and why is my Amps keep changing after supercharging

    the local tesla and highly rated electrician company charges $1400 to install a tesla wall charger (including parts supposedly) factor that into the fact i may be here 1 year only as a renter, 2 years tops. 3 years highly unlikely but possible. so then i would have to either leave it here or...

    any reason why a new 12A outlet in a garage keeps tripping, and why is my Amps keep changing after supercharging

    yes i get it is way better then put in a wall charger, but what if you are renting and don't own your home? a lot of times its not so simple as putting in what you want. a lot of us aren't wealthy homeowners living in the suburbs, we live in cities where renting is a far superior option than...

    Elon Musk

    any reason why a new 12A outlet in a garage keeps tripping, and why is my Amps keep changing after supercharging

    i got a 2 part question about charging, appreciate any experiences and advice the last almost 3 years have been using regular 12A outlet to charge, yeah its slow but it has worked. had to change my GFCI once due to rain getting in to the outlet and/or the thing being very very old. covered up...

    dryer in garage plug in

    i've got a dryer in the garage in my new place. so when i charge i unplug the dryer and plug in the car and vice versa. my question is have any of you tried those double connectors where you can plug it into the wall and then have both the dryer and car connected at the same time? i would...

    Tesla inventory cheaper vs new

    now that seems to be mostly the case, but it wasn't when i got mine. i did save $1500 by getting an inventory car and i only had to wait 3 days vs. 2 months for delivery. they told me it was a test driven vehicle. i'm curious to see if that changes as we get closer to end of year

    Model 3 delivery: My Existing inventory Car sold as new, but I don't think it is new

    you aren't the first person this has happeend to and that is one of the disadvantages of buying a tesla vs. say a bmw or mercedes. one of the FEW advantages of buying a bmw for example from a dealership is they will go out of their way to make you happy leading up to your pickup day and leading...

    Is it ok to supercharge more than one time in a day?

    the battery degration thing is overhyped by people who pretend to be experts i have friends with 5-9 year old teslas who forgot more about technology then these people learned in their lifetimes who admit there is SOME degrading of the battery but it is very minimal as in 20-25 less miles. in...

    longest extension cord you've tried thats worked

    12A. yes my GFCI also blew out about a year into charging but my electrician said it was due to rain since i didn't have the plug protected. once that was replaced have had no issues since works fine and i get a 6mph charge

    longest extension cord you've tried thats worked

    I'm curious what is the longest extension cord you have used that has been working well for you. right now I use a 10ft 12G and it works just fine charging but i am moving soon to a rental for a couple years and the new place i may need to use one longer 20-30ft+.

    Scared I may not get approved for tesla financing again after total loss settlement

    Tesla forced to open superchargers to unlock billions

    most people charge at home. I've got a slow charging at home because I live in a townhome and it would require a huge headache to put in a faster charger that can reach my parking spot. so i have to charge in a regular wall outlet with an extension cord. even with all this i still rarely go to...

    Tax Credit and leasing

    leasing a model 3 is now cheaper than it was in 2020 (and likely ever) and you get a more expensive and vehicle with more battery and options. all thanks to the credit which goes to them, not you. but they are now able to drop the price to make it cheaper and cheaper. my current lease...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    check the short % on TSLA. it is .25% meaning there are barely any shorts vs. total shares. in other words TSLA is NOT a heavily shorted stock vs. other stocks. example it has the same short interest as SPY, MSFT and BAC. also once it hits down 10% you no longer are allowed to short the...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    just to put things in perspective Tesla still has 10X the market cap of Ford and GM at this time, even after the stock has been tanking on a daily basis. the market cap is around 400B!!! GM and F are around 40B. this means Tesla stock can drop another 85% and still be a larger company. Also...
