    Trip Report 2024 Tesla Model Y Performance Naples FL to Yonkers NY

    You have to plan trips from NY to FL and FL to NY around Virginia. It’s the only state you will hit real traffic. My goal is to hit VA around 4am and be done before the gridlock from 7a-9p. Worst state in the country.

    How long between inspection and PTO? [various areas]

    You just need to hound Tesla and call them or live chat them weekly. They took 9 months to get my PTO. They told me i passed my town inspection when in fact it wasn’t even done and completed until 5 months later. They lied to me to and told me I had PTO. I knew it was a lie and a week later I...

    Loan payments won’t start until 30 days after pto. Down payment is due after install. I paid my off before the loan started. Got my house at 2.625 cat at 2.8 and wife’s student loans at 2.5 not paying 7 on a solar loan.

    Ford says owners can start using superchargers today (Feb 29)

    I charge for free at home as I have solar. I want to bank the credits I have 19 years left. This free charger is 4 miles all highway. Even when it’s freezing out I still get 60kw after the short drive l. As it warms up i get the full 75.

    Ford says owners can start using superchargers today (Feb 29)

    Well I don't eat that crap so not an issue! I like my MYP, a HUGE reason I bought it was the ability to always be able to charge reliably w/ no wait like a gas car. If that ability is lost the car is useless to me. I value my time more than anything. I have no issue stopping to charge for 25 min...

    Ford says owners can start using superchargers today (Feb 29)

    I drive to FL from NY, every December. If I have to wait at one SC this year because of this, I will never drive the Tesla again EVER on anyplace that will require a SC. We have a Lexus RX350h also that can be used for road trips. Elon is playing w/ fire. w/o SC exclusivity I would personally...

I only use it because im cheap and want to bank all my solar credits so when I get another EV or plug in Hybrid I can drive it for free. There is a 60 kw/h ccs charger that is free 4 miles from my home. I go every...

    I saw guy sleep in his car to charge

    I live in NY. Before I travel I drop my car off at a free L2 charger Bruno my bike and ride the 4.5 miles home then back. Free exercise and charge. I do it a few times a year. Now they opened a 60kw/h charger that’s free for now so I go once every 3 weeks and charge since I’m low on solar credits.

    Tesla’s +$255Bn Home Charger “CarBnB” Opportunity

    I would rather charge at home personally because i have solar and it would be cheaper even w/o solar. I get your idea, Montreal has L2 chargers all over the city and in parking lots. I took the kids to a museum and we were there for close to 3 hours and I added 21 kWh it’s only $1hr plus the...

    Tesla’s +$255Bn Home Charger “CarBnB” Opportunity

    I arrived at a reroute at 6%. On my way home from a 2700 mile rd trip it routed me to SC. This SC was 5 miles off the highway and I would of arrived at 11%. My house was 16 miles from the highway exit. I ignored it as I wasn't even close to running out of juice. it kept re routing me for miles...

    Tesla’s +$255Bn Home Charger “CarBnB” Opportunity

    Supercharging is not an issue. I just drove round trip from NY to Orlando then to Clearwater and back to NY. This was during possibly the busiest time of the year as all kids are out of school. I never had to wait once to supercharge. 2 times it did reroute me due to supercharger congestion. The...

    I wouldn’t trust a word tesla energy says. They told me I passed my town inspection in late June. It wasn’t passed until late November. I was told I got PTO in late July. I still don’t have PTO. I have been running and net metering for 5 months and they never requested my loan payments since I...

    Tesla doesn’t know sheeit! All you need to do is turn on the breaker and your live. I’ve been waiting for PTO since mid May and those clowns told me in July I have it but I still don’t. Been running for 4 months free no loan payments. It’s glorious I think I can potential go years w/o paying due...

    Home Wall Connector Install

    It was terrible x1000! I snaked it through the ceiling in basement using a 6ft flexible drill bit and my stud finder to locate its exact spot in the garage wall. Stripping UF is horrid, If I ever need to run another 6/3 45ft I will use romex.

    The DOJ Tesla probe has expanded to include EV driving ranges

    My last charge was 18%-51% used 27 kw/h during the charge. When the car was at 13% I drove 86 miles and the car said I used 23kw/h I used about 31kw/h. This is the only real way to check your range due to Tesla not accounting for all energy usage. Projected out I would of gotten 226 miles on a...

    You can turn on immediately w/ a power wall. I don't have one but I already had a bi directional smart meter as my house was built in 2019.

    We're on the fence about getting solar and would love some input

    I live on LI the state tax credit is capped at 5k, so you will pay 33.5k before any NYC or coned credits. I paid $7700 after all credits for a 6.8kw system. My house is off the rails efficient as it was built in 2019 w/ 100% open cell foam including garage. The installers didn't understand how a...

    Someone rear-ended and Totaled my beloved Model 3, sharing my experience, DO NOT make the same mistake I did.

    The performance boost doesn't compare to the Performance model! I have driven a M3P and on w/ the boost. M3P is just a better car. I have a MYP. My biggest takeaway is you own a FOCUS. I am flabbergasted that any of those POS are still running. One of the worst cars ever made, we had one years ago.

    6 Weeks & 7,000 Miles - Thoughts from a penny pincher (2023 MYLR)

    Those rates are appalling. I'm the suburbs outside of NYC. It's 0.24c kw/h peak and 0.115c kw/h off peak before taxes and fees. Depends on usage with all the fees etc its around 0.27c kw/h. 43 cents a kwh is bat S crazy. I have solar also, we appealed and got the system larger than needed as we...

    6 Weeks & 7,000 Miles - Thoughts from a penny pincher (2023 MYLR)

    Nice post, I compared my MYP to getting a Highlander Hybrid. 0 zilch nada no regrets on getting the Tesla. I ended up getting solar after all the tax credits and state incentives. I will break even in about 5 years based on 6k miles a year of charging at home.

    Y Performance Model- Looking for Insights

    I Ordered a MYLR in January, IIRC they cut the price of the MYP a few days later and it qualified for the tax credit. At this time all we knew was the credit may change in March. I switched my order the MYP as delivery date was Feb-Mar and LR was Mar-April. I never drove the MYP at this time. I...

    Tesla really needs to step up their SUV game (BMW iX impressions)

The X and S plaid are 2.5 and 1.99 0-60, m3P is 3.1 as is standard S, MYP is 3.5 they are all stupid fast. Y is 110% more practical as you said. I would of...
