Agree, I wish they raised the income limit, but the state incentives will help make EVs more appealing for a lot who do meet the requirements. The state incentive will make it more affordable. Ex. A Hyundai Kona $169/mo Lease deal. ($7500 federal applied) Add in the state incentive and that'd...

7500 Federal + 9000 State (if leasing) / or / 5000 State (if buying) Am I missing something? If not, wow...

Taking the throne from Colorado? (Who has the strongest incentives.) Washington electric vehicle rebates available beginning in August • Washington State Standard

For the price though it's hard to fault. The new 3 is a brilliant example of mass simplification in creating something so minimally, while packaging it in away where it brings improvements in the areas that matter the most. Suspension, Cabin isolation, Driving dynamics, Double pane glass etc...

Yea you're right come to think of it. LOL Perhaps a Dodge Hellcat analogy would have been more proper.

It's definitely a superb value for what you're getting. Since the price is in the low 50s new, even if it were to be in the 40s without a steep depreciation curve, that's still fantastic.

Wait just a bit and buy a used one for half the price. 😅 I wish I was fully joking, but can you imagine the new 3P in the 30s or 40s not very long from now? It's a fun thought and one heck of a great car to be had then for the price. Side note: I feel your pain, a lot of us are sick of...

Yea the larger price delta is unfortunate for you guys up north. Regarding the new 3, I drove one yesterday at an event and spent some solid time with it. It's without a doubt an improvement over the previous 3 and I think it's what Tesla have always wanted their 3 to be. Before getting into the...

To clarify, I accept the fact that Tesla isn't the only Company to possess deception. Do I agree with it? Of course not so you don't have to be sad about that. It's business. Like I said, no emotions involved. The only thing you have to accept and to be aware of are people like @KerrySkates who...

Tesla is a software company first and a brilliant marketing company to be able to successfully pull off these things. They don't care, sucks I know, but you can count on the fact that they thought through the playbook from A to Z. It's all business. No emotions involved. It's a rocky time for...

So when will the actual Ludacris mode software upgrade become available? My guess is Q4 of this year.

But no video? I'm a big fan of his videos, one of if not the best on YT. I've been just playing all the new videos in random order, but usually always save Hagerty for dessert.

I know right?! I know some of those reviewers have Dragys. My best guess is that they were told that they couldn't show those tests in the initial review. Especially knowing what we know now, imagine them pulling low 3s. That would look really bad for the new 3P, especially as Tesla is...

It's an Asterisk to what has yet to come. ;) I do feel that the new 3 is undeserving of the badge if it's not capable, out of the box, to live up to the meaning. It's like if BMW came out with a regular 3 series with a M badge. It does look nice though, especially on the seats. The new 3P is a...

Good point. This would be the smartest play.

Test drove the new 3 yesterday, just before getting out of a S and the suspension was much improved. I also found it to be quieter in some ways. For the money, nothing can touch the value of the new performance indeed.

It's shaping up to be another 0-60 car, maybe 0-100, which is disappointing. I was hoping one of the media/press guys had a dragy with them. Either way I don't think there's anything significant here with the new performance model. Maybe a significant let down, but the price was the only...

Surprised to see it in the low 50s. Tesla will need to adjust the prices as it makes little to no sense to buy the LR with the incentive. I'm seeing a delta of $2,250 and ~$16 a month between the two. And yup advertised as 2.9 secs as expected. Really curious about the 1/4 now.

Spent all day at the SC as there was an event. Chatted with the Service dept and manager. They are all aware of the new seat requests and said that a retrofit should be very likely. "The request for the new seats have been overwhelming so they're figuring things out right now... we should know...

Thanks for sharing the pics! They look amazing. Congrats on your new car. Headed to the SC now... will see if they have a S with the new seats so that I can see it in person.

I'll be at a SC tomorrow to check out the CT and while I'm there I'll look into this as well and report back.

My best guess is that Tesla is using the random "transferable FSD" option as a way to control not sabotaging profits if they were to apply FSD to the Account instead of the VIN. Tesla will always figure out a way to get what they want at the expense of anything. There are no emotions attached...

Yea it's hard to invest in a promise that has no real timeline. We've been chasing a carrot for a long time. To Tesla's credit, at least they had the wits to open up the FSD trial to hyper gather data to accelerate the autonomy, but man for those that paid $15K, that's painful. Now if the FSD...

FSD sitting at $8K. Enough for you to jump?

Must have to get to that finishing touch of Sonny. ;) I'll do the same if I end up going the used route. I have a strong feeling that the incentives will sweeten even more this year as we just saw a 2K price drop on the S Plaid, now at $87,990. FDS is now at $8K. Feels like Telsa is...

No, but it's pretty cheap ~$20 bucks or so.

So what do you guys think? $8K for both front seats to retrofit?

I'm having a discussion about this very thing with a friend (Tesla owner) as we speak. That rug pull was terrible for the recent Tesla buyers at the time. It really was a perfect storm of events, but regardless of any justification (tesla fan boys who can't see past TSLA, not you btw), the fact...

For sure. My question was rhetorical, was just thinking out loud and I agree with you. It's just crazy to think that a Plaid in general S/X, a 9 second car will be cheaper than a new M3L perhaps. I'm thinking of waiting until Q4 to see how this year plays out. Supposedly in the used auto...

That's clearly an option, but I did mention "round" meaning that I don't care for the yoke to be changing it out immediately anyway. This is assuming that the used comes with a yoke, but a >'24 will still have the issue of the horn button so switching it is the only option from the start.

I get it. There are so many used Plaids in the market with extremely low miles and I can't help but to think of them as rejects, with issues, or other hidden skeletons in the closet.

My criteria for used would be a '22+ Q2+ built Plaid. I'd retrofit a new round steering wheel with a center horn (not a stupid button, one of Tesla's biggest fails). The tilting screen, & new seats is nice, but not a must have. As for the front bumper camera, 16GB RAM (steam) and interior...

To add, for those who have lost trust in rebates throughout the years, Hankook honors their rebates. I bought the iONs when they had the first rebate promo and it was flawless. Submitted it online, got paid. Debating if I should order a set for my M3P now...

Looking great! The spacers are really nice. I have them on my M3P and it just brought everything together to look like it should as expected.

That thing is so handy, absolutely a must have. Just drove by a white Platinum today and I looked over at the wife and said..."hmm what ya think?" It's a great truck. When you start utilizing the beefy power outlets it's a "Hold my beer" moment, especially on site. (construction etc..) How has...

If Tesla can find a third party to buy older seats for $200 (for example), you can bet Tesla would be happy to offer $20 bucks. Same way how Tesla low balls trade ins, which I totally get in that all they're doing is playing middle man. The new seats are stunning, especially in white. I'm in...

It did look awfully familiar lol. Overpriced and paying for the Koenigsegg branding. Ok now I'm really curious about the sales numbers ha!

Up to $3500 for a spoiler? Holy moly. Someone needs to replicate this or 3D print it at least. $3500 is Ludacris, literally, for a stupid spoiler. Yikes. Curious what their sales are. Zero maybe.

The regen (modes) in the HMG (Hyundai Motor Group = IONIQs, KIA EV#s, Genesis EVs) EVs are great and very smooth. It's nice having the ability to adjust them using the paddle shifters, it's very intuitive. Fun fact, but the HMG EVs regen far greater than Teslas. HMG EV Max Regen: 360kW VS...

Old news, but yes that's with a track package, which is important to note as most people think it's a stock Plaid. Brakes, Tires and Suspension make a huge difference in the track world and I'm sure most of us who have track time under out belts all understand this extremely well. Even for those...

Great stuff, thanks for sharing and for the reply. I would definitely get the track package on your Plaid to get you closer to what you're used to. I'll message you on IG.

Now we're onto something. 😄 The only thing missing is a shopping cart next to it acting as the shadow.

With the current FSD being $12,000. (~10 years to break even.) $99 a month x 10 years = $11,880 Unless FSD drops back down to previous lows, going with the monthly sub is a no brainer, especially due to FSD being locked to the VIN, which is utterly stupid.

Yes indeed.

All Season.

Note: If we can get enough confirmed people to attend we can set up a fun bracket system for the event.

Note: There's a Super Charger really close to the Raceway btw about 6 mins away just up i5.
