    Strongly considering a lease vs buy (MYP). Pros/Cons?

    You pay for wear and tear whether you lease or not. If you trade in a car you purchased either cash or finance it is appraised for its value. If you have bald tires (deduct) dents scratches interior etc. then they will reduce the value. If it’s a garage queen in perfect condition no deduction...

    Can you Walk-in and buy a Tesla Model Y on the spot? Inventory shows Immediately Available

    Also, there is a risk to the dealer of dispute the charge if customer isn’t happy about something which can delay payment. And if there is a loan and customer wants to use credit card as down payment that could put the dealer in default on the loan with the bank as the credit card is considered...

    Having someone else finance my Cybertruck Founders Series AWD

    Banks or finance companies consider this a straw purchase. And won’t approve such a large contract. They know the co signer lives in a different state and is not invested in your paying the loan on time. Could add more but many have given you good advice above. Just wait rebuild your credit then...

    Is the new Macan EV a MY killer?

    Just checked their website. No base listed as available. Built a turbo was only $132k. Goto love Porsche. Everything is an option. Didn’t check every box. Lots more. So very nice looking car. Not a Y killer haters. Try again.

    Powered retractable sunshade

    Live in Florida, as we know very hot summers. MY have not felt need to use a sun shade. And I’m 6’2 with no hair and never feel hot. Everyone’s different I guess.

    New inventory discount vs New order

    No such thing as a custom order. They build cars in batches and match you order soon as one comes up. Inventory vehicles are vehicles built without a match or vehicles someone passed on.

    Model S&X Price Adjustments

    Every car company “changes prices”. Traditional companies use rebates financing and leasing programs to lower the transaction prices which also affect retained value of vehicles. Look at the $7500 rebates on some BEVs right now.

    HW4 - No Park Assist at all

    Very true. Brining up a problem without a solution is called whining! Lots of that on all these boards.

    Tesla's reason for not adding spare tires, doesn't make sense.

    Any idea how many people with spares even know how to change? And what happens on the interstate ? Very unsafe. And, Tesla isn’t the only vehicles with out spares. Industry trend for years.

    GM announces use of NACS

    If you follow the history of Ford and GM. They both follow what each other does. Never wanting to miss out. This is another example. The meetings with Mary went like this. We have to call Elon Ford did.

    Ford slashes Mach-E prices by up to $5,900... offers refunds to customers that paid higher price

    Ford didn’t say refund. Press did. Ford said they would be sending offers to offset difference. I’m guessing they will get a cash offer to buy another. And the offer will be approximately the difference. Watch.

    Ford slashes Mach-E prices by up to $5,900... offers refunds to customers that paid higher price

    Well that’s almost true. VW now has dealer incentives (big) on the ID4 to bring the price down. Leave it to the Germans to bend the truth.

    Being pushed by Tesla to take delivery this month?

    What happened? Many cancels waiting for $7500 tax credit. And most do not understand qualifications to receive the credit. My guess is Tesla will raise prices by $7500 like Ford and several others have and negate the savings.
