Any thoughts on how this might delay the delivery schedule, if at all. Easy fix might have them catching up soon. My ETD 1 Apr to 1 Jun No VIN yet, so mine is likely not one sitting in the lot.

Another consideration is Hankook tires. They are quiet, sticky and last a long time. The Hankook tires in the pic on the left set the Word SUV 1/4 mile record back in the day and they were still looking good with 35,000+ miles when I sold the Raven X. I currently have 41, 606 miles on the OEM...

No need to apply to work at Tesla. Got my notification for a 1 April to 1 June Delivery. Hopefully, delivery won't be affected by the assembly line shut down for seven days for issues relating to accelerator lubricant. 12 hour shifts are being cut to 11 hours (day) and 10.5 hours (night)...

After a recent update, wipers turn themselves on when dry. Turn them to the off position and about 20 min later they turn themselves on from the OFF position, again with no rain. Anyone else? PIA and safety hazard.

I remember getting my first Autopilot activated on my 2014 Model S. I was like a kid in a candy shop. It was awesome and so advanced. Mobileye, developed by an Israeli company. Light years ahead and then, Elon got into a contest with the owner of Mobileye, and that was the end of that party...

You, the man. You only go around once. Why not? My friend, who owns my first 2014 Model S with 107,000 miles gets his CYBERTRUCK on Tues. Enjoy! Mine should arrive before June.

Now that's a real man. Proud of you dude!

Tesla has a solution, consistent with Elon's policy. They will let you return your wife.

I am sorry. I should have been more clear in communicating.

Sorry, I'm not talking about "Brand Loyalty", which is obviously high, or I wouldn't be on my 9th Tesla and many others wouldn't be repeat purchasers. I am referring to probably what is better stated as "reward for customer loyalty". Honoring or rewarding customers who have been loyal to the...

That's really $27,500. with the forfeiture of the tax credit. Then, there is no guarantee that the price will remain under $80k. If there are thousands of customers willing to pay more, why reduce the price? Customer loyalty is not one of Tesla's strong suites. There is NO Public Relations...

Sit back, relax, and wait at least two years. And don't forget to cringe every time you see a CT on the street.

Conceivably, Musk could walk through the entire list of reservations, offering the FOUNDATION SERIES to all before even considering offering the dual motor AWD version. I guess the pure business decision would be to do that. The additional items offered with the FOUNDATION Series cost Tesla...

Essentially, adding in the missed tax credit, The Foundation Series is $27,500 more than the Non-Foundation CYBRTRK. If we are paying that much more, I suspect that the cost of operation is a rather moot issue. That is kind of like complaining about gas mileage on a Ferarri. There are quite...

My TSLQ is climbing. Trader (Traitor) Vic

I totally agree. They have to make up for that decrease in overhead on other models somehow. I was shocked to see the excess S,Y and X inventory sitting on lots. Check the op line inventory. Wow! Some new vehicles with $2780 discounts. My friend just got 2000 Ultra Red and $1500 wheels for $300...

That would be a sin. TSLA is down 21% this year and headed down further for the near term. Production is increasing while demand is decreasing. Interest rates are still high. TSLA is less per share now than in Oct 21. Been out for a year. There are far, far better stock opportunities.

Your post is a thorough and accurate assessment. You hit the nail right on the head. Economic genius on the part of TESLA. Well done! More ECONOMIC GENIUS to come: And now the bean counters have added a few more incentives. For 30,000 referral points (referring three Tesla buyers who follow...

As of Feb 8, 2024, the average hourly pay for the Tesla Sales jobs category in the United States is $19.05 an hour. About $40k a year. At that wage, there aren't going to be a bevy of Tesla sales employees plunking down $100k for a CYBERTRUCK. The "kid" said there are NO employee discounts...

It comes straight from one of Elon's kids. The one who designed the CYBERTRUCK!

Did you know? Tesla employees have priority for CYBERTRUCK deliveries. I spoke with one when I took my friend to pick up his new Model Y. He said he ordered 7 months ago. Began working at Tesla and was offered a Foundation Series last week. Can't afford it. He also said that after the...

Why would Tesla limit the number of Foundation Series CYBERTRUCKS? Ask yourself? The more individuals they can get to accept the $20,000 Foundation premium, (costing them about $1,000, if that), the more money they can make to cover development costs. It would be like a business shooting...

Welcome to Tesla. You'll get used to it. I was in Thailand when they notified me that I had four days to pick up my soon-to-arrive Model Y or they would give it to the next guy, They gave me four days. I said, "But this is my 9th Tesla." Their response. "So." No use of Power of Atty allowed...

I had three near misses this week after the deployment of the new NHTSA required "safety" software that monitors your eyes through the cabin camera. Speculate all you will, but the real origin of your consequential folly is directly related to Musk's conflict with former F-15 Navy jet jockey...

I am so sorry to hear of your plight. Both my 2019 and 2021 had the problem. That is EXACTLY why I canceled my order for my 2023 Model X. I refuse to have a vehicle sitting in my garage with faulty engineering that hasn't been and can't be corrected by Tesla since its the Model's introduction...

Now your heated seats will work after you unlock them for a fee. What's next? Pay extra for rude Musk comments?? Zip it Elon You can take the boy out of Africa. But you can't take Africa out of the boy. Oh, that's right, Stockholders are already paying for that.

The Aztek looks like a design precursor to the BMW The Pontiac Aztek: Who’s laughing now?

Ok A whale. Had two whales. They were fun. CYBRTRK Tank

Multiply that by 10.

Originally posted by Anderson Thats one thing I've always wondered. Never saw the advantage of using an estimated speed Since the trap speed is a calculation, it's not as accurate as having a Gtech in the car. The Gtech will display the true mph at the end of the 1/4 mile. The trap speed is a...

What is the 0-60 time for a 2022 C8? C8 Corvette 0-60 mph of 2.9 seconds. My Model X Raven Ludicrous did 0-60 in 2.86 (It's rated at 2.7) And I did the 1/4 mile in 11.203 If you note in the video (tail lights), it was my 1st ever 1/4 mile run, and I actually let up on the accelerator...

It feels like you're arguing the "WOW" on the basis of very practical concerns like cost, maintenance, and range economy. You are absolutely correct, and you can add engineering. I enjoyed the two Model Xs that I had, but, even with the $40,000 price reduction, I can't justify buying a vehicle...

I have had two Model Xs and paying that much money for the dreaded "shudder", a design failure, and uneven wear and tire blowouts is not my idea of WOW. As far as speed is concerned, I set the SUV World speed record with my Model X Raven besting the Lambo Urus and I don't find that need for...

It will probably fall out the same way with the CYBRTRK. For under $80k you get the basic dual motor If your want the Tri-motor beast you can forget about the tax credit. That makes the Tri-motor available to the rich and famous. It becomes SO much less in terms of value without the tax...

$32 to let Tesla change it and you don't get screwed. C'mon Man. You can afford a Tesla, but not the maintenance, which is minimal by the way.

Engineer deluxe Sandy Monroe declares other automakers so far behind Tesla that he can hear their death knell. VW, Toyota, GM in the dust. Only Ford has a meager chance of surviving.

A report from CarsDirect found that Chevrolet dealers taking delivery of the new Chevrolet Blazer EV have been adding their own markups on top of the manufacturer’s suggested retail price. They found that dealers around the country, including those in Wisconsin and California have added a...

RN11293XXXX was made Nov 27, 2019, six days after the announcement and I am number 90,130. I would anticipate a delivery toward the end of 2024. If that is of any help to you. Some folks will have already purchased other vehicles, some are multiple orders, and some will have dropped out...

Yes, and rest assured dealers with begin to allow prices to creep up to suck up some of that tax credit or use the proverbial above sticker additions. I would expect this will also benefit Telsa who doesn't have to deal with the pesky dealer network.

If you are doing that, you may as well own a NISSAN Leaf. My 2014 Model S is at 13% degradation with 178,234 miles and it has been charged to 80% daily and 100% on road trips. I buy a vehicle to buy it, not play charging games with it in my garage. And selling every two years, I could really...

The only benefit to the 4680 pack is that it makes it cheaper for Tesla to make vehicles, due to increased efficiency. There is not really any benefit to the consumer. If the batteries are more, efficient, Tesla just uses fewer batteries. You may get a slight break on price, but certainly not...

Great news and the numbers look good, but tell that to my cousin, who never did anything but supercharge across the street from her house, and just had her battery replaced on her 2021 Model S at 63,345 miles. It died with 69 miles left and would not take any additional charge. Service Center...

I charge my MYP to 90% every night and seldom keep my car for over two years. Anything less for me is not worth the hassle. I did the same (90%) with my 2014 Model S, and the new owner with 184,000+ miles says his degradation is 14%, He just pulled off the PPF and it looks like new, in fact...

Since LFP batteries are more stable, they can be charged to 100% for daily driving. In fact, Tesla suggests charging your LFP Model 3 to 100% at least once a week to balance voltage and recalibrate range and charge readings. Jun 15, 2023 Not saying I agree, just following protocol. When Tesla...

I got my son an SR Model 3 with LFP. I love the idea that he can charge to 100% It actually gives him more range than my MYP. What's the rub with an LFP?

Now, of course this doesn't apply to EVs (yet), but it does have something to say about quality of workmanship. Hyundai and Kia recall nearly 3.4 million vehicles due to fire risk and urge owners to park outdoors. My son once owned a new Accent, which repeatedly stalled, and required road...

There used to be a table on this forum that gave estimates or at least production numbers. I ordered on Day 6 after the announcement and my number was 90,143. Hoping for 2024.

I can't get beyond it looking like a boxy tank. Just my humble view. I guess may three-row vehicles do. When I bought an Ioniq 5 for fun and comparison to my Model Y, I had to go all the way to NY to get one anywhere near sticker price. I will be forever amused that they were insistent on...

Don't forget to add the $20k dealer markup.

I can assure that Tesla will first ship the highest margin/most expensive version that they are able to produce. I would agree that may have been the case in all previous releases, but having already announced that it will be a 300 - 350 range version, we can almost be certain that is not a tri...
