    Shudder

    First Impressions: Model Y Performance

    Just picked up 2022 Model Y Performance that I ordered in November 2021, when I sold my 2021 Model Y LR for $8000 more than I paid for it after one year and 17,000 miles. I have had a Model Y, 3, S and X and I find the Model Y to be the greatest "Value" of all Tesla vehicles. I also chose the Y...

    NEWS FLASH~! Decided to take the leap tonight to IONIC 5. This waiting, 4180 perpetual mystery, color limitations, Giga Texas, Giga nowhere, reduced range, and the increased price among same-looking cars, has just gotten to me. Secrets, delays, secrets, promises, delays, more secrets...

    Guilty for having too much money or how to drop your stock price in one easy lesson!

    Elon Musk tried to distract the market with plans for a shiny new Tesla robot. It backfired horribly I am not a Tesla Boi and neither am I anti-Tesla (my seventh one is about to be delivered), but the recent earnings call was grossly disappointing. I am a realist. Musk's autistic and bipolar...

    PPF interfering with Radar Signal

    Tesla is telling me that my PPF is what is causing my radar signal to diminish after about 10 minutes thereby disabling cruise and autopilot. I have had the same PPF on three previous Tesla's with no problem. Anyone else experiencing problems with loss of radar signal after PPR? They insist...

    Careful

    Went out to install the laminate covering on the console and popped open the door. You know how sometimes it doesn't pop all the way or you don't get a good grip on the handle. Well I opened it by the door edge and found a sharp edge along the top of the door. It sliced my finger open like a...

    Picked up Model Y Today Substandard Tires - Class Action

    Picked up the LR Y today. The delivery was uneventful and smooth. I had to ask them for my self-referral credit which they took care of straight away. Largely a no-touch delivery. Had plenty of time to examine the vehicle. Found only one small superficial scratch on the front bumper which I...

    Dual vs Tri-Motor

    So much technology, style and pizazz packed into one vehicle for such a fair price. I have read numerous article about how the Dual Motor is really the "BEST VALUE", unless of course you have spare change to throw away. I think just having the first of these monsters in town will be amazing...

    Dramatically improved efficiency from 2016 MX to 2019 MX LR LUD

    Just compared the kw/mile usage on my 2016 Model X 90D(0-60 4.8) and it is 430 with my 2019 Model X LR LUD Blue Raven 100D, which was 354 kw/mile. Wow! Considering I was the driver for each, that would imply that the new battery technology and new front motor efficiency has come a long way...
