    Performance: RWD vs DM (Chill Mode)

    I think there’s essentially zero evidence to support this claim.

    Order before March 1 or wait until end of Q1

    Inventory cars are discounted by percentage off MSRP, not a set dollar cap. Max discount right now appears to be 6%.

    Order before March 1 or wait until end of Q1

    They can clearly sell them at 10% off like they were in January and still make a profit... biggest inventory discount right now is 6%.

    Cold weather. One tire.

    Finding a leak that slow with a spray bottle is gonna be damn near impossible.

    Order before March 1 or wait until end of Q1

    Part of me wonders if they've decided it's better to have one really bad quarter instead of a whole year of mediocre ones... like they've already decided Q1 is a goner and are playing with prices and keeping them higher than necessary to push some sales to Q2 in an effort to make Q2 look better...

    Order before March 1 or wait until end of Q1

    The spec I bought a week ago (LR, blue/white, 5 seat, hitch) is now available for about $500 less in my area ($3,120 off MSRP before any other incentives like free color, CT reservation discount, etc).

    Inventory Order Model Y, mentions it can be delivered to closer Tesla service center - no mention of cost and time

    You can’t. In OP’s case there are two identical cars, one currently present at one location and another that will be at another location shortly. In either case Tesla will be highly motivated to deliver either car before 3/31.

    2024 Model Y LR. Do you think this can be repaired or totaled?

    Almost certain to be repaired.

    R1S and R1T are currently eligible for $3750. Yes, with a native NACS connector.

    Fix the damn auto wipers tesla!

    They are hot garbage, and to add insult to injury they are now forcefully enabled and set to “auto” any time you engage TACC or Autosteer. Bad enough that they’re essentially useless and have been since they ditched the rain sensor in 2016. Overriding my decision to leave them off is infuriating.

    Munro Associates Review of 2024 Model 3

    RE the endless stalk moaning - I’m generally negative on the change although I will say I found the buttons far less problematic on the refresh 3 because they’re actual buttons vs. the haptic ones on the S/X. It’s just not that big of a deal.

    Munro Associates Review of 2024 Model 3

    They are optional. Turn them off if you don’t want them.

    Order before March 1 or wait until end of Q1

    I don’t think there’s any reason to believe that the refresh Y won’t use the exact same batteries the car uses now (and hence maintain tax credit eligibility).

    Don't get a ticket with Tesla Insurance

    You know, there’s a system in place to keep the occasional “oops” off your record in California - it’s called traffic school - and you deliberately didn’t take advantage of it. If you’re gonna be mad at somebody about this, the only obvious candidate is yourself.

    Tesery "Forged Zero G style" wheels seem inexpensive. Not forged?

    @Tesery ‘s site is straight-up loaded with 100% fake reviews using pictures they shamelessly scraped from this site - would be really hard for me to trust them as a company or anything they make. Buyer beware...

    Discrepancy in charge prices

    yeah that’s a weird goof, but looks like you’re right. It adds up in all the screen shots shared so far.

    lol, not a chance on continuing the trend. The only reason they’ll raise the price in April is to lower it again in May and start the dance all over. I disagree. They need to compete with everyone on price, ICE or otherwise. It’s not enough to just be the obvious / most affordable EV choice...

    Discrepancy in charge prices

    Be mindful of the distinction between kilowatts (kw) and kilowatt-hours (kWh). Kilowatts are a measure of power - work over time. A supercharging station can deliver up to 250 kilowatts of instantaneous power. A 100 watt light bulb consumes 100 watts of power whenever the light is on...

    Discrepancy in charge prices

    It’s not clear to me what specific discrepancy or grievance you’re pointing out, but as Ray mentioned, you’re being charged per minute according to the max power level being delivered. Some states (Wisconsin apparently) don’t allow anyone other than utility companies to charge for power by...

    Issues With Installing a Charger in NJ with no offstreet parking

    It would seem that exposing both hots is clearly a possibility and safety consideration when talking about running a cable across the sidewalk.

    Just order a car from the same account that the reservation is in. That’s it.

    Need help on "Free Unlimited Supercharging for Life"...

    This is not a reliable indicator whatsoever that supercharging will transfer to the next owner.

    Need help on "Free Unlimited Supercharging for Life"...

    This is a reasonable skepticism. What is the ownership lineage of the car? Paying for a carfax report if the dealer doesn't already provide one would probably be a good investment.

    It's already happening. I honestly don't expect things to go much lower at this point because time is running short to actually deliver the cars.

    Can you Walk-in and buy a Tesla Model Y on the spot? Inventory shows Immediately Available

    Almost all insurance companies automatically cover a new car purchase for 7-30 days until you have the chance to add it to your policy. I think the main point here is it CAN be very quick if it's a simple transaction and you're willing to do things Tesla's way. If you: Already have an...

    Surcharging Tesla with another account

    Both cars need to be in the SAME Tesla account if you want to share supercharging credits. This is the only way. Adding other users/accounts as drivers won’t work.

    Issues With Installing a Charger in NJ with no offstreet parking

    The electrocution risk from an exposed conductor for a 15-20 amp 120v circuit is much lower than a 240v 20-60 amp circuit.

    Can you Walk-in and buy a Tesla Model Y on the spot? Inventory shows Immediately Available

    It can happen if the car is on site and ready to go and the sales folks are willing to work with you on site. I bought a Model Y this past weekend. Ordered the inventory car online at 3pm Saturday and took delivery 12pm the next day. It can be very quick.

    Is #8 THHN with Tesla Wall Charger Up To Code? (On 50A Breaker)

    There’s really no issue with this. Perfectly acceptable to wrap the ends of one with some red electrical tape for easy differentiation on each end of the circuit.

    Order before March 1 or wait until end of Q1

    That's not strictly true. Dealers get kickbacks from banks if they fund a loan at a higher APR than necessary. For example the bank might offer a loan at 3.9% but give the dealer a $500 incentive if they get you to take 4.9%.

    Black and white seats... regrets?

    There is a bit of color transfer sometimes but it's not permanent - any sort of interior wipe or even just a cloth and water removes it easily.

    Poor Model Y LR build quality and TESLA Calgary poor service

    The dirty car was a loaner, not a car OP bought. Regarding the original complaint - I can’t tell what I’m supposed to be looking at from that picture so hard to weigh in. We picked up a YLR this weekend and so far it’s flawless.

    Home charging very very very slow

    My car does this when the mains voltage is higher than nominal. OP’s car is reporting 251v, a good bit higher than the typical 240v. That’s not really a problem, but in my experience the car backs off the amperage to stay within the “11.5kw” spec of the onboard charger.

    Deciding Between older Model S or Newer Model 3

    Can you afford a $10-15k repair of either the battery or drive unit on an old Model S? If yes, go for the old S. If no, I would not buy a 2012-2014 Model S at pretty much any price.

    Issues With Installing a Charger in NJ with no offstreet parking

    No jurisdiction in the country is going to bless you running a cord over (or under) the sidewalk like that for any length of time. What exactly are you trying to get a permit for? Installing a permanent outdoor pedestal and wall connector in the strip between the sidewalk and the curb (similar...

    advanced vs. standard software updates

    That button is ~95% placebo. Presuming it does actually do what it states and puts you in the earlier part of a version rollout, the downside is certainly exactly what you've already identified - the earlier you install the more likely you are to be an un-enlisted Tesla beta tester.
