You can try calling Tesla. My car has the warranty too. It’s an 8 year unlimited mile warranty on battery/drivetrain. Newer model S warranty is just 150k miles now I believe. Probably because taxis were taking advantage of this.

Optics or not, the right thing to do is for shareholders to uphold their yes vote. An agreement was made and should be honored by all parties involved. Yes optics aren’t great but neither is not getting paid since 2018. And if Tesla didn’t do the revote, would that mean Tesla could be on the...

I have a Jan 2017 MS. I can’t speak to number 1 for certain but if the car was originally delivered before April 2017, it should have SC01 unless maybe it’s been transferred from a dealer in the past. Safest thing would be to contact Tesla with the VIN since the previous owner isn’t logged...

Don’t know but quite a bit. I do think it’s kind of unfair comparing the Covid highs to the current prices. Covid heavily skewed everything. https://www.audiworld.com/articles/audi-e-tron-models-are-depreciating-at-a-mind-boggling-rate/

I thought it was for RT fleet but seems unneeded since they plan on building new vehicles for it.

The biggest gripe I hear about Tesla leasing is supposedly you cannot buy the vehicle at the end of the term.

I didn’t know this. Thanks for the info. Glad to hear it.

I’ll be surprised if it passes. Institutional investors care about one thing… money. And since this is awarding Elon for work he already did, they will probably vote no due to “what have you done for me lately” syndrome. I hope I’m wrong. I’ll vote my shares for it.

I believe Tesla has allowed FSD license transfers for the last 3 quarters (including the current one). I do hope it continues as that is for great customer retention.

In 2019 as well. This is far from the first time and certainly won’t be the last. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2019/03/07/tesla-lays-off-more-workers-and-cuts-costs-ahead-of-model-y-reveal.html And 2018 https://www.latimes.com/business/autos/la-fi-hy-tesla-job-cuts-20180612-story.html And 2017...

I’ve never had an issue with an update for my car but this is why I only install updates when home.

Hm. That is odd it changed so much. I haven’t taken any long road trips recently. I’ll find out in a few weeks.

FSD is $99 per month subscription. Easier to swallow than 12k. I just keep my foot over the accelerator so I can step on it quickly if needed. But I haven’t had to do it very often. I just take extra caution if someone is tailgating me.

If Tesla allows FSD license owners always keep the license with our profile for car transfers, the 12k becomes worth it. Especially if I could rent a Tesla and login with my profile to have FSD. (Even if Tesla just charged a transfer fee of like $25 or $50 for a rental and $500 for an...

Until it’s a solved problem, no one knows the answer for certain.

I took advantage of this. My 2017 MS was delivered with nothing but dumb cruise. For 5k, I received FSD. Worth it IMO.

L2 FSD, I agree. L4 FSD gives time back to people. That will be worth more.

That is just an estimation which can fluctuate. That’s why many people just tap the number to show percentage instead of mileage anyway since it’s just a “guess o meter”. I still leave it on miles because even though it can be a ways off when full, it seems to get more accurate when closer to...

Per TeslaFi, there were several failures reported and Tesla was aware of the issue. I assume they fixed the install for those that failed.

Yeah they probably won’t give the upgraded cameras and upgraded autopilot computer (not MCU) for free if they didn’t buy FSD.

1. EVs still far better than gas cars even when using fossil fuels to charge. The pollution difference at end of life while charging from even 100% coal is still much better compared to a gas car. 2. Yes cobalt is used for LR models but none of the “omg save the children” nitwits would give...

Supposedly highway is using the same old stack. Mine installed this morning fine too. Definitely smoother on city streets than it used to be but it still seems to use brakes more than regen.

Just got the update. Installing now. You mean all the “sky is falling” posts about how legacy won’t get this update turned out to be false? Shocked I say.

People should know by now to wait a year or so before buying a brand new update if they are concerned about the price. Happened with I think every car Tesla sold. Certainly true with the plaids. At least with the extra 20k for the CT, you do get “some” value from it. I’m waiting at least a...

Whistling noise from wind? Try taping off the areas and see if gone. Then slowly remove sections of tape. Maybe a bad seal. I couldn’t hear it either.

No thanks. I’m well aware of dealers. Used them for years. Many dealers know nothing about EVs for even selling them, let alone servicing them.

Supposedly those are just venting channels. Not room for more batteries.

Today, $50 - 100. If FSD gets to L4 where I don’t need to monitor it, I think the price is worth well over 200. (Take a nap, do work, watch a movie/entertainment, enjoy the scenery.)

I wish it was people either own the stock or they don’t. No short selling. No options. No AH trading. No high frequency trading (can buy or sell a specific share once per day.). Cut all the excessive BS from the market. Of course WAY too much money being made from options, etc.

AH trading should not be allowed IMO. Many people are unable to take part in it.

I wish Elon would have waited until the call to reveal that.

I have a 2017 MS with FSD license since 2019 and MCU2 and I’m not concerned one bit about getting v12. It’ll happen. Just might take a bit more time.

Possibly… if the floor plan loan to the dealer is provided by the OEM. Which based on an article from a couple years ago, less than half are. Majority were provided by other banks. But maybe it’s higher now.

I have yet to see a good reason why “filling the gap” is even a thing.

Looks like there will be some disruption in the auto industry.

I didn’t know all their dealers would report so quickly. This videos says basically legacy auto will be cutting back. Such a disconnect. Will be interesting if this come true.

Hm. That guy owns a dealership (albeit used cars) and also talks with many other dealerships (new and used vehicles). Somebody is wrong.

In Q1 2023, many thought the sky was falling with Tesla lowering prices, Elon’s politics, sales drop. Then later last year, Tesla went on to sell more vehicles than ever, stock price reached about 300, Elon still posted about politics on X and has been doing so for years now. Once again it...

Hopefully this will reverse with the SC network opening up to Rivian.

An EV annual registration fee to pay for road taxes makes sense. $200 though? Seems high.

Yeah, no truck ever gets stuck in sand. And his crowd hates Elon. He mouthed “I’m one of them” but I “think” he meant he owns one. I know he used to. And if he still does, that’s surprising for as much as he bashes Elon.

Channel stuffing indeed.

Those GM numbers are from 2023. It’s YTD this year I’m referring to. GM doesn’t look “fine” to me. But yes, Ford is worse and Stellantis is horrible indeed.

Here is a fairly recent article showing the details of that days in inventory. Doesn’t look quite as rosy for the big 3. Take Toyota and Honda out of the mix and the avg days in inventory goes up. https://caredge.com/guides/new-car-inventory-2024 Seeing a lot of gas pickups still on the lots.

I have a model S but use normal over chill. And if I had a plaid, I’d always keep it in plaid mode. I drive chill but like having the power on tap (just in case).

I have a 2017 Model S 90D with almost 113k miles on it (purchased new). Hardware purchases: - MCU upgrade. - CCS adapter/upgrade. - one windshield replacement due to rock crack. - Upper control arms replaced once. - Brakes lubricated a few times. - Upgraded key fobs (more secure). So far...

I’m confused. GM and Ford say they see strong sales but yet many posts I see on social media state the opposite. That dealership lots are full, at 3 year highs and not moving. Channel stuffing? https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ford-reaffirms-annual-core-profit-114122478.html And of course...
