    NEW dark chrome trim - August Delivery

    I have it on the white interior as well.....feels more like a composite to me and not just a darker color. Side by side, I prefer the polished finish of the steely-like trim.

    Returned our lease yesterday!

    It’ll be listed, keep checking. They store used cars on Mannheim properties and only auction off the DQs - frame damage, airbag deploys, excess mileage and a few other categories.

    . Fantastic car.........and AP1 is the best IMO. Enjoy!

    Returned our lease yesterday!

    That’s insane! We left the gecko several years ago for Progressive. Our premiums have dropped by a modest $45 or so annually, and the combined insurance for two PLs plus a street legal golf cart is $900 per 6 month cycles. Started at about $1100 in 2016. Clean but fast drivers. Two speeding...

    Returned our lease yesterday!

    Turned my 90D in last month directly to Tesla. Only charge was the disposition fee. Super clean condition, spotless turbines and mileage at 43,711. The VIN showed up about 14 days later in San Diego on their website @ $58,700 or ~56% and gone within a week. Loved everything about that car...

    21" Arachnid Rims on Model X - Load Ratings

    Interesting as I was comparing 21s to 21s arachnid vs turbine with same conti silents. What might give me the noticeable range pick up if not the wheel weight? I’ve never had anything other than 21s on S and 22s on X to compare.

    21" Arachnid Rims on Model X - Load Ratings

    Those look super! What did you do with the fronts? I love the arachnids, great look and I picked up 20 miles of range at 90% vs turbines. I have another set of arachnids and an X, so I could make both cars square. No need for me to be chicken, I’ll just let you ride them for awhile first. :D

    Can my Dashcam get me out of this speeding ticket?

    Can my Dashcam get me out of this speeding ticket?

    The day I was turning my car in, I was pulled over on the 60W. He said he clocked me at 92 and he wasn’t pulling me over for speed, but for crossing the car pool double line. I started to disagree and he suggested I do not. I fumbled on my blackvue app while he did the license, reg, insurance...

    any reason not to do a lease?

    Over a span of 20 years, I’ve stuck by my dads advice........buy assets that appreciate and rent (lease) assets that depreciate. It avoids the fine art of human rationalization, and has served my balance sheet exceedingly well.

    Happen to U?: Front doors not opening

    Yes, my doors stopped auto opening, but I could access manually with no problem which seems not to be the case for your wife. Wasn’t a big deal for me, and it was fixed next time I was at the SvC. I’ve since turned them off......too much trouble when parallel parked on busy streets.

    Tesla moments

    Turned mine in last month after 3 years, and during the ‘walk thru’ the tesla guy asks if I’ve got everything out of the car. Yep I said. He checks the trunk and proceeds to the never used frunk. Boom.....3 year old swag! A tesla umbrella, golf balls, and golf shirt in a black tesla shopping...

    Creep on or off and why

    Press down on the brake until the H appears on your screen......it’s an auto hill hold. Use the acceleration pedal to release or tap the brake again with your foot to release. I’ve never used creep mode.

    Notification that battery cannot charge to 100%

    Coincidentally, I learned about this today while at a SC and seeing a tow truck arrive with a black beauty P100D on its bed. After being loaded into the charging bay, AAA used a small pack to charge the traction battery under the nosecone for about 10 minutes to power the car just enough to...

    RIP Panoramic Roof... :(

    No leaks, no squeaks, and I love my Pano. So I called Tesla and the pano roof is available but off the menu. Meaning, call in and they help you with the order. So, everyone can be happy. Will all those desires now convert to reality? Will all those expectations move on to expect something...

    Yah no kidding smart, although he had less shares than I expected, even in the trust. Anyway thanks for tax explanation WRT option type, that makes sense. So, pay now to pay less later must mean he's expecting a helluva big later. :)

    Or maybe big money is/will finally getting on board? TROW stepped it up recently, but look at these TSLA holders and where their losing cross-holds are invested? Just 10% of that $$$ coming to TSLA would begin to stablize things and possibly reset the momentum. Anxious for next round of 13Fs.....
