    Front camera

    It’s pathetic that a 56k car doesn’t have a front camera! Almost a year with my model y..switched homes with 2 separate garage door..impossible to park and I have 30 years driving experience! Junk car

    Am I getting a good deal on a used Model X?

    New one at the spec is around 88k…so basically you are saving 13k or so! I would wait until end of year if Tesla drops the price. If you can live with 5 seater..I would buy a new one

    Discussion: Model 3 and Y price drop Jan 2023 / April 2023 / Oct 2023 and All other Pricing Speculation going forward

    If I was you If they offer any more incentives in December, go for it. 3k is not worth holding out for if you really want the car. I have had the model y since February and it has changed my life. I didn’t think not going to gas station would be such a big deal..in my Q7 they took premium...

    Discussion: Model 3 and Y price drop Jan 2023 / April 2023 / Oct 2023 and All other Pricing Speculation going forward

    Tesla needs to drop price of their X by another 7k for the folks who really want an X with options like White interior and 3rd row and be qualified for the tax credit. One of the main reasons for upgrading from a Y to the X(at least for me) is the actual usable 3rd row than the y. Sometimes I...

    Discussion: Model 3 and Y price drop Jan 2023 / April 2023 / Oct 2023 and All other Pricing Speculation going forward

    You plus everyone else. I believe teslas will end up like the below, qualified for all tax credit Model 3 long range - 35k Model y long range - 45k Model S long range - 70k Model x long range - 75k Cyber truck - 80k

    Model S&X Price Adjustments

    I disagree with this…you don’t lose customers if the product they bought goes cheaper. You lose a customer if the product you bought doesn’t perform as per your expectations. If you bought a 100k model x in January and you were extremely happy..and the price goes down, you may be bitter but...

    Model X tax credit question

    I don’t think the credit is going away..so I would wait until Oct/nov for end of quarter deal. I don’t think many people are lining up to buy a 80k suv so I am sure there will be lot of inventory. In early 2023, logic said Tesla will drop model y price to get under the cap…no one thought they...

    Model S&X Price Adjustments

    I understand what you are saying, but Teslas were overpriced to begin with. The Model Y at 68k was overpriced but everyone was lining up to buy it..people who could afford it went for it. Musk himself said his cars were overpriced and not affordable and he wanted to change that. Early adopters...

    Model S&X Price Adjustments

    What’s the right price though? Isn’t it based on demand? Home values are higher when everyone wants one but when the economy is down you can get it easily. Cars were different but Tesla changed it…lot of folks sold their teslas with 10k profit in 2020-2021…what about that? You can’t have it both...

    Model S&X Price Adjustments

    You have to remember prior to Tesla, car buying was an experience no one wanted to go through. Tesla changed that by going direct to consumer..also i am not sure if anyone remembers in the 90’s, dealer cashback and “x amount under invoice” came through because access to the internet and sites...

    Model S&X Price Adjustments

    I was at a bmw dealership recently servicing my wife’s car and the sales people over there were wishing the Bmw would do the same for iX. Drop prices…their argument was that an EV buyer is the online buyer who wants to pay and just drive off the lot. The “cash back” tactics of regular dealer to...

    Model X tax credit question

    Just wait until November and they will lower the price for 7 seater to be under 80k, it’s so obvious that Tesla may just do it.

    Prediction: Model X price will be reduced to $78K in January 2024

    Same here, if they were to make 7 seats standard for 79k to be eligible for tax credit , I would buy now!

    Model Y initial impressions after delivery

    well I am in my 40s and I learned to drive with no camera or sensors. My 2017 Audi q7 and 2021 X5 parking sensors really made it easy for me with all the sensors and parking aid. Going from that to a Tesla model y with no actual dependable parking sensor, it has made me drive the old fashioned...

    Thinking to back out from my MXLR order after doing extensive readings here, thoughts?

    You are reading too many negatives..not everyone has those problems. You test drove it and lived it for a day or so and liked it, then you should go for it. If you try to find “issues” you will find it with every car. I usually say go with your gut..if you think if makes sense go for it.

    Model Y initial impressions after delivery

    I guess the reason I gave it a pass was because I wanted an electric car at 45-55k price range, having the ev credit was a bonus. There weren’t any suvs in the market at that time that fit the bill with the range. And I assumed that a car that can “summon” and potentially drive itself would be...

    2023 Model Y no USS discussion, incl. Discussion of Tesla Vision Firmware

    Coming from an Audi q7 that was accurate as hell ..Tesla vision is disappointing to say the least. In Audi it would chime when rear or front was close. This thing chimes all over in a tight garage..may have to get used to it or turn it off. I bought this prior to having the vision and these...

    Charging advice for a weekend-only car

    Best of luck driving on the weekends only. Once you have it and don’t need to worry high cost of gas..you will try to find excuses to drive the EV..this car is addicting..

    EV tax credit and EV charger credit

    Looks like IRS rules preclude it, it’s line 15 of form 8911 alternative fuel credit. Credits that reduce regular tax before the alternative fuel vehicle refueling property credit: I am not an accountant so there may be a way around it?

    Discussion: Experiences Renting a Tesla Model 3 / Y from various companies

    Usually people who rent Teslas either own one or want to experience it. I am sure they have done their research so no user manual needed.Tesla did say today that they are Working to save your driver profile to the cloud and a loaner or maybe a rental can pull the profile and off you go!

    Credit Unions with good rates that accept applicants anywhere within the US?

    Just use Tesla finance and refinance later. That’s what I did, from application to final check from tower to Wells Fargo auto was close to 6 weeks. This included calling them daily asking “what’s next” sometimes being hung up on..voicemails that are full and customer service reps who ping pong...

    Having second thoughts on picking up MYP

    This car has limitations, I came from the 2018 q7 camp and it had all the sensors and things to keep you honest while driving. Model Y has lots of safety features missing(no cross rear traffic alert?) and no parking sensors. The blind spot warning is also very iffy! I still love the car because...

    MYLR vs. M3SR -- relative value?

    2 different cars! I would say wait another week until March 1st. You may lose 3750 on model 3 however if they announce a new model 3..maybe they drop the current model 3 to 38,500 price to get to the 35k standard range model 3 with 3750 tax credit assuming IRS cuts the tax credit in half next week

    EV tax credit and EV charger credit

    I am just reporting what I saw in the TurboTax forms he filed

    Should the MYLR be charged to 50% only?

    Tesla says it to charge to 90% so do that. Why complicate it?

    EV tax credit and EV charger credit

    The tax man..I saw my cousins turbo tax and when he put 7500 tax credit for his car(Audi q4) it took off the 1000 for ev charger. This is 2022 taxes he is filing now//so not sure about 2023.

    Credit Unions with good rates that accept applicants anywhere within the US?

    EV tax credit and EV charger credit

    If you claim ev credit and ev charger credit at the same time then you don’t get the up to 1000 credit. Seems like the ev charger credit is reduced to 0
