Amen here. My wife and I were super excited to give this a try. I live in a major metro area and it just feel on it's face multiple times. It did the basics good, like driving straight on a clearly lined road. But, anything that would require any thought at all was a horrible experience...

If you can identify the owner, and it was indeed the cat that broke the glass. Send them the bill. I still don't understand how a cat is breaking the glass. Saving further feedback on that till seeing the video.

Amen. I just bought a 24 Audi S5. Fully decked out and it is $400 a year less expensive then my wifes 22 M3P :-(

Unfortunately it's part of the ownership experience. The insurance for my wifes 22 M3P cost more than my Hellcat, Viper and Corvette COMBINED, all with the same coverage minus the Viper being labeled as a pleasure only vehicle. It's because of the repair cost and how easily they are totaled...

Can't help there but just got our car back. Bill was $2700. I have to take the car back to be redone though (in Nov). In the parking lot someone hit the front of our car the day we were supposed to pick it up. They put a new front bumper on it but the paint is bubbling so they are going to...

And if the price jumps after you buy something, you're going to pay the increased amount, right? For instance if you bought your car 1/20/21 would you want to give Tesla another $10K because the prices all jumped $10K that week. Nope, didn't think so. Price match on "any other purchase"...

Already a police report as the guy didn't have any insurance, ID, papers, etc. I had no way of even knowing who he was other than the verbal name he gave and a phone number he was giving me. Police officer took the report and sent us on our way while he figured things out with the other driver...

Perfect. I assume the red would be slightly higher but I now know that I should be in the $1k to maybe $1.5K range for the repair. I can't imagine it needs anything more than just a rear bumper as the damage was very light (my wife was very lucky). Any thoughts on diminished value? I took a...

Taking it to Tesla collision. Tesla won't let Progressive do a shared estimate though. They will only fix it then make me fight it out with insurance. At least I know it should be a good repair. Kind of piss poor CE but on par with them, thus why I gave up on adding an S to my garage...

Wife was rear ended sitting at a red light last 2 weeks ago. Fortunately it was low speed so barely any damage to her car but the guy that hit her had no license or insurance so I'm having my take care of it. I'm a bit concerned though as their estimate was quoted only at $750 in total repair...

And I'm weird as I have no desires to do FSD. I do like the auto pilot on long trips but the older cars (my wifes for instance) do that just fine for my needs as well. I just like having the ability to make parking easier in my garage at home and to be able to pull up as far as possible in a...

OP - I'm exactly like you with my previous cars (and some current ones). I buy the car and then start modding it. At the end of the day, I think you are modding the car to make it match more of your personality, than actual performance gains. Yes, some to be had with intake, exhaust, tune...

This is actually the big reason why I started to consider a used 2022 as the 2023 demo I had was HORRIBLE with it's proximity identification. I know it's an unnecessary feature but at this price point I really want it, thus why I went from looking at ordering a new car and started to focus more...

I'm going to give a slightly different approach to my opinion. I noticed that you are in the Florida Panhandle. While their is still supercharging around you, it's not quite as abundant as most of us have available to us. I still feel like you will be perfectly fine and it will be a great...

One question though. Are y'alls door handles flush with your doors or slightly recessed? I don't recall the demo car I drove being recessed but this cars handles were. While at the Tesla lot I looked at 2 other S's that were just off the truck waiting for PPI and both of those were recessed...

I noticed that a local, non-Tesla, dealership has a used 2022 plaid that I'm thinking of checking out. For an ICE car, a car with 3 previous owners in one year and only 5k miles would be a major red flag to me. With an EV, I don't know if it's the "thought I'd live it and don't" mentality or...

Another problem with Tesla leasing is no buy out option at the end of the term. I normally don't lease cars but have become more interested in it for EV's. But if I have a good car and it's still meeting my needs I would want to buy it out vs forced to return it.

Glad I didn't claim to be an electrician as I really thought it went to 40A. Guess it's a good thing I set the charging limit at 32A before I even first used it or I would have been upset for no reason seeing it charge at 32 and not 40 (that I thought). Set-up works real well for us now. I...

I'm not even going to pretend like I'm an electrician but I'm really happy with my charging solution. I didn't go with the wall charger as I wanted something portable and really have zero need for the added speed it brings. It's on a 50A circuit but I still have the car set to charge at only...

It looks like one of two things has occurred. Either they didn't push the bumper back into the retaining clips all the way or they broke the holes where those clips attach. It looks like their is enough gap present to maybe see behind that lip of the bumper to see if the bumper itself is...

My first suggestion would to not shop via monthly payments but actual cost/value of a car. In this case, since you are not putting much down at all to have that high of an interest rate, you are better off with the new car. Less is thrown away to interest plus you get an extra year or two on...

That's some great extra info and damn you... you're bringing the debate back up as yes, I was in insane mode the whole time I test drove the car and would do the same when owning the car. Now I wonder just how much a difference it would have made in sport mode. I know in my wifes M3P we...

Black is generally the best color to start with for the reasons Ikstaack mentioned above. If you are doing a standard color change and not including the door jambs, under the frunk or the trunk jambs all other colors will stick out when the doors/trunk are opened. Black blends in to the...

I think I've diffidently narrowed things down to a Long Range if I go this route over the Plaid. It would never be a track car and is just going to be a daily driver so the acceleration boost doesn't produce the ROI for me. I was hoping it came with a better (more adjustable) suspension...

Yes, that's correct. Didn't show any warning at all nor was their a birds eye view type of thing. Granted as someone mentioned above I think it could have been out of date on the updates. The icon showing an update was available was present but I didn't have it install while I had the car...

Thanks for the quick replies already. Good to know that some of the things I felt were missing are truly planned to come to the car or have solutions for. Thanks also for the confirmation on the differences in models. Think I'm probably more a long range person then as, while I do love...

Ah, man... I may need to upgrade my membership just for the edit feature to fix typo's... Sorry about those...

My wife is an owner of a 2022 M3P and absolutely lover her car. I've enjoyed driving it as well and have become intrigued with getting a new Model S. My local Tesla center let me do an over night demo which really helped a lot. After the drive I had some questions that I was hoping this group...
