I can’t say I’ve looked up a service center. But I drive by their plant in Fremont daily taking the kids to school. That’s another selling point for my kids actually… locally built. Still remember when they hadn’t delivered a single car out of that plant yet, and spotting one in the wild was a...

I already have a 2018 leaf for one of our commutes. It has turned into our primary car because of how convenient and cheap it is to not have to get gas. It gets the majority of miles per day while the person staying local takes the family car. So yes, the most reasonable thing to do is just get...

By this logic, I would assume that you would not recommend anyone taking delivery on a brand new Tesla either, if the barely used market is so buyer friendly? I haven’t been tracking used markets as much, but do have a new Y ready for delivery tomorrow. Not sure I want it if resale values are...

Thanks for this perspective. I really have the same gut feeling, that the S will fit my needs nicely, and I can use the extra $30k for some pretty decent family trips. We have a big car for longer distance travel, also have done some Tahoe trips in a Leaf… so slower charging isn’t going to...

Thanks for the heads up.

That’s interesting. I was wondering if they’d react to lower deliveries due to people waiting for potential tax credits in now less that 4 weeks. Hasn’t been offered to me yet. I don’t need to regularly transport that many kids in this car. I’m buying a commuter, that I’d only be using the...

Used X is coming in at the same price point as New Y. It’s in consideration, but I posted in the X area about that one. Similar considerations, I worry about the maintenance and FWDs.

That’s good to know. They certainly do seem like a polarizing feature. I suppose I should reserve judgment until I rent an X and try them out. To be honest though, if the X had sliding doors like a minivan, I’d have gone that route without hesitation. I imagine I’m in the vast minority there.

I’d have to go used X. It’s a contender, but I worry about maintenance costs on S and X. If the X had sliding van doors instead of wings, I’d be all over it.

I was assigned a VIN I didn’t take in mid November. I was told the car had Tesla Vision, and would not be equipped with USS or radar. Didn’t take it so can’t comment on cargo cover or suspension.

Has anyone removed the ‘single’ seat from the model Y second row in a 7-seat configuration? Essentially making it a 6-seater, with easier access to rear seats. I have a family of 6, with kids ranging from infant to 9. I have delivery of a 7-seater threatening to cancel if I don’t take it soon...

I appreciate the several threads already comparing ownership of an older S to a new Y, and some replies to a post over in the Model X area. Curious to look at it from a slightly different take to see if anyone has experience with it. I need a commuter, for about 12k miles a year. It’s a third...

This is an interesting thread - I’m in a slightly different boat and would appreciate some opinions. I’ve got 4 kids height ranges infant to 55 inches. I have a Model Y on order, and they’re about to cancel it since I haven’t taken delivery. I am interested in going all electric for all my...
