    Can Model S be produced for $55K to qualify for federal tax credit?

    possible, but not likely. they probably want to keep the S and X in the luxury price category, competing with BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, etc.

    Discussion: All Season Vs Summer Tires

    its really about driving style, location, and climate. the majority of drivers on the roads are casual drivers. they wouldn't know the difference as they'll hardly ever go 20+ over the speed limit, especially when its raining, they'll usually go like 10 under the speed limit. for them, a...

    Order before March 1 or wait until end of Q1

    Tesla isn't changing the MSRP of the Y, they're just changing the inventory discount. When Highland 3 came out there was no inventory so people that really wanted it asap, had to pay the full MSRP by placing an order.

    Mirror auto-tilt position adjustment

    i thought auto tilt was cool when my wife got her M3 last year. but when i got my MYLR last month, i found i didn't like it. i use these quarter circle blind spot mirrors, pointing out and down. great for reverse and parallel parking. i've used them on all my previous cars. makes for quick...

    Charging to 80% v 100%

    i believe the LR and P uses the regular Li ion batteries, so 80% for daily charging. the 23-24 RWD have the LFP batteries.

    Do you normally use "CHILL" mode or "NORMAL" mode with your model Y?

    Ask any traffic cop and they'll have atleast a dozen stories of how seat belts could have saved someone's life. One fatality we had here in Houston many years ago when only the driver and front passengers were required to wear seat belts. It was a head on collision, both vehicles going around...

    Free Trial FSD, What DoYou Think About It?

    compared to the previous version, its better. still some hesitation going through a stop sign. coming to a stop at a stop sign, it stops too far from the intersection depending on where the stop sign is positioned, and creeps up a little, stops, creeps up a little, stops. most times i have...

    Window tint headache on new 24 M3, Any advice?

    you bent over backwards for them, manager rescheduled multiple times, making several trips to their shop, etc. give them negative reviews with pictures on Yelp, Google Maps, etc around my part of Houston the cost of tint removal is around $140-145 for the full car. i'd pay to get that crappy...

    spoiler install issue, question

    yes, i did notice the tips weren't touching, but i hoped warming it up with the heat gun would help, along with the blue tape. i'll send the seller the pics and see what they say.

    spoiler install issue, question

    bought this ebay spoiler, its not quite curved in enough and the tips stick out a bit. i put extra tape on both sides and use a heat gun (low setting). i'm thinking about using some GE clear silicone indoor/outdoor to fill in the gap, then paint it with some left over black touch up paint...

    12.3 Misreading Speed Limit Signs

    I tested FSD12 this morning at 5:25am Saturday on my way to work on a long straight stretch of highway. It would only go 49mph in a 50mph zone. Even with +10% on the setting, and using the right scroll to increase the speed to 59mph it would not go above 49mph even with no other cars around...
