    Another Tesla Insurance Rate Increase! Seriously Tesla?

    That's what Tesla did to MD drivers this past January! That's also why I bailed and switched to insurance via Costco. Slightly higher premium, but no big brother Elon watching my driving habits to worry about to ding my score.

    Replaced 2 tires at Tesla for >$1000?!?!?

    $375 for a single alignment is highway robbery.

    M3 Replacement tires

    I decided to get tires (Conti DSW 06's) that had SOME snow ability but not to the point that I would have to sacrifice range/comfort for the other ~360 days of the year where there was no snow (and this past year 365 days with no snow to drive on LOL). And if it ends up snowing to the point I...

    Lots of questions about the new base Model Y coming out of Texas

    Yep, it was around for less than a week in early 2021. Introduced at $43k, and the price was actually dropped to $40k for 2-3 days, then Tesla killed the SR-Y and it was never seen again. Lol I wish I had jumped at the $40k SR-Y....ended up with a $41k SR+ 3 several months later.

    M3 Replacement tires

    I think it depends on which NTB you go to. The one I went to didn't have pucks, but luckily I did, so they used my pucks to lift the car. Also, the service guy didn't even know how to unlock a Tesla (LOL) so I had to show him. I assumed since Teslas are a dime a dozen in my area they had to have...

    M3 Replacement tires

    You've probably already replaced your tires by now, but for anyone in a similar boat looking for new rubber, I just replaced my stock Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires on my '21 Model 3 SR+ (46k miles) as they were down to 2-4/32nds. Also, I almost spun out coming out of an off-ramp on a damp (but not...

    New tires at 21,000 miles

    I got 46k out of my stock tires for my '21 3 SR+, but they are now down to 2-4/32nds so will have to go tire shopping now.

    Maryland BGE Home charging program

    Your 11 cent rate probably includes distribution charges/taxes/fees. I believe my overall off-peak rate is also around 11 cents/kWh after everything is included.

    About to switch to Tesla Insurance for much less in premium......any catch?

    The catch is they'll jack up your rates an insane amount upon 1st renewal. Mine went up like 240% (lol) and I decided to dump Tesla go with Costco's insurance provider (American Family Insurance?). I'll be paying ~10% more going with Costco, but now I won't have to worry about stupid FCA's...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I had a couple grand in my HSA investment fund just sitting there as cash last week, so I converted a chunk of it into $TSLA @ $128. Had set a limit order to buy if it hit $100 the previous day, but it only dropped to $110 and didn't trigger. Glad I got in at 128 though!

    How accurate is trade in value?

    The old adage still seems to ring true: only trade in to Tesla if you hate money.

    New Model Y LR cost is 53000$ today onwards (excluding Tax rebate of 7500$).I bought my model Y in December for 65000$

    Probably a fair number of new Tesla owners that are underwater on loans now. Also, RIP to any used dealers that had a large inventory of used Teslas.

    Costco Tire Replacement Policy

    FWIW, I bought tires at Costco for my Volt a few years ago. A few thousand miles (less than 5k) after I got the tires, I had 1 of them punctured by a nail. I went back to Costco (had runflat tires, so was able to drive it in) and used their road hazard warranty to get a replacement tire for a...

    Worth switching to Tesla insurance?

    My actual miles driven during the insured period did exceed what I put down (~20k actually driven versus the 15k I entered) but that's like...a 33% increase, not 240%. Lol But I had dirt cheap insurance for 6 months at least!

    My new 6 months policy quite popped. Woooo 240% increase! Lol!

    Tesla gives $3,750 discount for Model 3/Y in the US this month

    So you'd need to buy a base EX90 to receive any of the credit. Guess we'll find out soon enough what "well equipped" actually means.

    Tesla gives $3,750 discount for Model 3/Y in the US this month

    Volvo markets its upcoming EX90 as "well equipped under $80k". I'm almost certain the "under $80k" price point is 100% to do with the new EV tax credit. I expect the cheapest EX90 to start at $79,995 or something close to that.

    Tesla gives $3,750 discount for Model 3/Y in the US this month

    Unfortunately this is just like any other manufacturer coming out with new, bigger rebates on the 1st of the month after you purchased the day before. I've been bit like that once.

    Tax credit 2023 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    I put in an order for a LR3 last year, then delayed to 1 Jan '22. New EV tax credit never came to be so I decided not to buy it, but since the price of the LR3 went up compared to my locked-in price, I ended up selling the reservation to another person. I now have a LRY on order on hold till 1...

    Tax credit 2023 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    I would gladly delay the "happy times" in my Tesla by a month or 2 if it meant an extra 3,750 or 7,500 in my pocket down the road. As for comparing people delaying last year, it's apples to oranges as last year a new EV tax credit bill was never actually passed, while this year one WAS passed...

    Tax credit 2023 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    Trade in their current Tesla to Tesla to take delivery of a new Tesla on 31 Dec 2022...that'd be peak money-hatin' right there. LOL

    Tax credit 2023 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    This statement literally makes no sense as the tax credit for EV purchases in 2023 isn't POS and has to be claimed on your tax return in 2024. If someone can buy a Tesla in 2023 and can afford to wait until 2024 to claim the credit, they have to front all the money up front so they can...

    How long can I hold my MY delivery?

    Seems like it's up to the advisor/rep you get in contact with. I requested via email a hold till 1/1/2023 back in late August, and the rep I was in contact with placed my order on hold until that date. I'm thinking it would be impossible to have a hold placed that long now.

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    My '21 3 SR+ (NCA battery) has lost 5.5% over 32k miles and 14 months of ownership according to TeslaFi. (263 EPA vs 248 current range). Had dipped as low as 239 miles on a full charge, but has crept back up to 248 the past week. Usually charge to 90%, no more than a couple dozen supercharge...

    CCS Adapter - ?

    I stopped by to charge at that Baker site with my FIL's Model Y and a CCS1 adapter. First 2 EA stalls I came up to were down due to software upgrades. 3rd one I stopped at I couldn't get to activate. Finally the 4th one I pulled up to I successfully initiated a charge using the adapter. But soon...

    CCS Adapter 1537264-00-B

    Some accessories I'd have no qualms with buying a 3rd party version vs OEM (mud flaps, all weather mats, even a swivel center display) but when it comes to a part that allows the flow of 500+ amps of energy to pour into the battery pack, that's a slightly different story. FWIW, I was one of...

    Will the Mobile Connector I ordered come with the vehicle at delivery?

    I personally know 2 people that ordered in May (after the supposed deadline for getting an included UMC) that both received the UMC bundle with their cars and they did NOT order the unit separately as a $200 add-on. So seems it's a crapshoot and it's possible you still may get one included.

    Roof glass cracked on delivery

    I think is pretty much the norm vs the exception recently. I've been hearing service horror stories out of my local SC from owners that have dropped off their cars (if they can even get an appt, that is), be ghosted for days after being told it would be a same day fix, finding not all/any of the...
