Wonder how Tesla's YoY 1st quarter compares to the Automotive market in general? I think most i.e. >50% of people have no idea Tesla's are as affordable as they are. Coworker was *shocked* that a 2021 low mileage Model Y long range are ~$30k. Many think Tesla are, in a general sense, very...

This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing 2023 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD, Red, 19", $34,950. Please add to the discussion here.

Aren't you aware that for most, "approved for financing" =" I can afford, buy immediately". But also, as others have mentioned, a $72k car with $300k AGI, if not swamped in debt, isn't that big of a purchase. I think I saw that the average income of X purchasers is ~$145k

I've discovered it's not actually the headrest that is bouncy. It's the seatback itself that bounces the torso to and fro...so when the head is against the headrest, the fore and aft bouncing resulting from the seat back itself bounces the head off the headrest. A much softer headrest might...

To clarify, we have both a Tesla, and a non-Tesla EV.

I purchased a UWC about two weeks ago and still have no shipping notice. Seeing all the issues people are having with these, I'm wondering if I should cancel? My thought was to get "the best" from Tesla but it doesn't appear to be the case. I have a Grizzle-e for about 1.5 years but it...

No. Look at the picture. She would probably have to scoot down 2" to lay flat. The bottom of her 2-3" healed shoes are ~2" from the end of the bed. It's not a 6'4" bed, it's 6'. Unless Tesla said "A 5'10" person can wear 3" heals, and lay flat in the bed with a couple inches to spare", then...

The Rivian is quite a bit smaller....~5" narrower so a smaller front surface area?

I understand your position now, thanks. :)

Somehow got two flats on my way to work the other day. Tesla didn't include a tire inflator like every other company on earth does, and, as a stupid human, I hadn't gotten around to buying one and putting it in the trunk. So I pulled up the phone app and requested road side assistance...

It seems like he is simply trying to say that work trucks/pickups are not needed by the vast majority of those who drive them, since they simply commute to work alone and get groceries, and just *want* to drive a work truck. I fall into that vast majority that don't tow and haul on a regular...

A recent article on Yahoo Finance claims 5% of American households have a net worth greater than $1M. I'm seeing sources ranging from 1-2% up to 18%. Sounds legit.

Forgot to mention 100% garage kept at home and work.

I'm optimistic about 2024 YoY growth due to: Cybertruck production Factory upgrades that diminished 3rd quarter P&D now complete Federal tax credit will become POS(point of sale). Don't forget, the vast majority of consumers (have to)finance and are monthly payment shoppers. IMO, this will...

For Tesla investors, this is nearly meaningless. For speculators and day traders, very important.

I would reconsider buying such an expensive car that you have to jump through hoops to qualify for financing.

I think lack of blind spot monitoring i.e. a little light on side mirrors, is definitely a miss by Tesla. We just got a new(used) car for my youngest and I was careful to steer her towards a model that has blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, AEB, lane keep assist, etc. She's had...

Not even bar bones....you can add the most expensive $4k ultra red paint for free as well.

Woops, corrected. OK, well that makes X cheaper than S for those that qualify for tax credit.

So Model X LR with tow package, ultra red, $72,500.....this should sell like crazy. By the same token, MS LR, ultra red for $67,500 woops no tax credit on S. wow. I wish I were in the market for a nice new car haha.

Market timing for the loss? I've been DCA'ing into the market all year, up ~17% I think? I'll be happy for both of our sakes if it does dip though!

Just placed my pre-order for Model 3 Highland hatchback Plaid trim. Ok, maybe this was wishful thinking. 😁

The entire cost of a ground mount solar array would qualify for the 30% tax credit, including the labor and materials of the ground mount structure required to support the panels. Along those lines, if a brand new roof structure were built where no roof structure previously existed, for the...

So Elon Musk is ~82" tall. Interesting!

We have a very obese, out of shape, unhealthy population in the United States. Difficulty getting in and out of normal cars is a big concern for such people. I agree with you though....address the problem rather than accommodate it.

Other than unavoidable disability type issues, M3 being too low to get in and out of means you need to take better care of your health. If you can't get in and out of a normal car without so much trouble that you consider buying a higher vehicle, then you have lost the basic human capability of...

Can a regular 2 ton floor jack be used without an adapter puck of some sort? I'm at 11k miles on the OE tires and need to rotate.

If you are unable to judge distance, maybe you could back in and use the backup camera? As mentioned, a tennis ball on a string is the age old $2 solution that is more accurate than any modern technology. Otherwise, generally, practice improves skill. Also, as you mentioned, declutter! We...

I'm glad I know how to park. Would suck to be miserable over a car not being able to make up for my inability to park, which, imo, is a basic driving skill that makes park assist features rather meaningless. I honestly couldn't care less whether the "I suck at driving so please park for me"...

I just did a search on Autotrader for new Ford Mustang Mach-e. I assume not every new Mach-e available for sale is listed on Autotrader. Search result turned this up for availability: 8,902

As a small time Tesla investor, I've decided to gain some first hand knowledge of FSD. Just ordered via subscription to try out for a month. 700 mile trip planned in two weeks. Hopefully can get FSDb. Happy 4th of July!

Model Y will be the best selling car in the world again for Q2?

Tesla's general objective is 50% YoY increase in P&D. Since Q2 should be over a 70% increase, is this likely to cause share price to surge or no since Q2 2022 was low and numbers will be somewhat in line with forecasts?

Anyone able to explain the "Golden Cross" discussion? Folks seem to see this as a significant event and I am utterly clueless. On another note, a lot of speculation on what will drive Tesla's value going forward i.e. FSDb, bot, energy, etc etc.(not saying I disagree) The things that I really...

None of these numbers match or make sense. The article contradicts itself from one sentence to the next: "Tesla's market share will drop to 18%" -then- "Tesla would shift from a 35%/65% split to a 70/30 split." Which is it, 18% or 30%? Tesla's YoY growth of 50% puts them at 6 million...

Is there a good consensus on how production and delivery will look for Q2?

Since many are sharing investment strategies, I'll play along. I don't have the risk tolerance to be 100% single stocks. Tesla is the only single stock I own, and I own a larger share than my philosophy would normally allow. Once I realized the potential of TSLA, I decided to add more than I...

Less than three weeks remaining in the quarter, and I haven't seen ANY chatter about production and delivery numbers. Strange....last quarter, there seemed to be a constant, minute by minute barrage of discussion and speculation on the issue. Curious how we seem to be fairing so far?

I think a bigger problem when it comes to humans in general is that folks tend to have a belief system in place, and will discredit facts that do not support their bias, while searching out and clinging to any evidence that supports their bias. It's the reason that misinformation is so easily...

I wish my portfolio were down $3 million. I don't have enough to drop that much!

A hatchback M3 would be super amazingly awesome. Personally, I prefer not to sit way up in the air like a truck, reducing aerodynamics, safety, handling, and efficiency. The *only* thing I like about the Y is the utility of the hatchback. M3 hatchback would be the shizzle! And probably our...

It would seem that NACS is now in FACT the North American Charging Standard. Hopefully GM and Ford will provide a huge influx of revenue to accelerate expansion of the SC network even faster.

Ya never know.

Are you sure? :)

Hmm....all these price drops have me thinking.....we owe $35k on our 2022 Kia Niro EV(cuz 0.9% interest). A new M3 is ~$43k gross, or $35,500 after rebate. $34k after state rebate if still available. Hmm. Would I be crazy to sell the Kia if I could get payoff for it? Have to see what Tesla...

Sorry that you have been so emotionally upset by the discussion. Might I suggest that blind devotion and loyalty that makes it impossible for you to accept that there might be a valid criticism of Tesla may not be healthy. It's ok, relax, Tesla is still a good company, and a good car. No...

Update. Manufacturers that work as they should( i.e. allow manual lane change without disengaging and re-engaging every time): Kia does it. Hyundai does it(2019 , not sure how much earlier). Subaru does it. Mercedes does it. Volkswagen does it....back since at least 2018 according to a post in...

No, I won't buy a different car because Tesla doesn't have this basic feature that many others have. What a dumb suggestion. By the same token, I won't tell you to continue to be happy that your car does not have the feature. You can do whatever you want. Believe it or not, people have the...

Kia does it...for example, our *base model* Niro EV. Hyundai does it....for example, the 55 mpg Ioniq...basically an economy car. Subaru does it. Mercedes does it. Probably others but not worth my time to research any more in depth. It seems pretty common, and most likely just a reasonably easy...
