    Why are these used Teslas as much as new ones?

    You're seeing a lot of these cars where owners paid upwards of ~$160k just to be hosed by Tesla's price reduction across the board. It's the tax one pays to ride the cutting edge of flagship models, especially with this tech car company. While there's a small void where some of these cars fit in...

    FS: New in Box Tesla Founders Series Red Powerwall 2/ Gateway 2

    Yes. Offers outstanding for shipped delivery but preferring local pick up at the moment.

    FS: New in Box Tesla Founders Series Red Powerwall 2/ Gateway 2

    Starting a new thread since old one has a now less-than-accurate "gauging interest" title. Strongly prefer local pickup as shipping companies have lost my trust as of late. It's located 20 minutes west of Chicago. Can PM if discretion is preferred. Thanks.

    Gauging Interest: NIB Founder's Powerwall/ Gateway/ etc. Chicago area

    Uncorking official for most 75Ds!

    Nah, mine’s a June ‘16, uncorked. It’s been awhile since I went through all that nonsense, but I recall rule of thumb being if you had dual motors and a facelift you were good. I confirmed with Fremont that mine was eligible, via phone and then email, as I didn’t care for the extra range or to...

    Gauging Interest: NIB Founder's Powerwall/ Gateway/ etc. Chicago area

    Top dollar :p. But seriously, great question. From what I've come to understand, Tesla prices the mainstream white one at $7,000 (they raised it $500 and there's a shortage of PWs), plus accompanying hardware at $1,100. Unsure if red holds any value to people. Also unsure if there's additional...

    Gauging Interest: NIB Founder's Powerwall/ Gateway/ etc. Chicago area

    Hey all. I'm thinking I may not install in current home, so, I may sell. If I were to sell, and albeit not a sticking point, I'd prefer local pickup, probably with wire transfer or bank to bank. Can IM me if you prefer discretion. Thanks.

    [Speculation] Big price drop for used MS after battery day announcements

    Considering it’s basically the price of a blown out S 3-4 years ago, it isn’t too far fetched.

    2018 P100D Ludicrous FSD, 13k miles

    This is the sale forum, where when the OP presses the initial post button, the Benny Hill music begins. Don’t act like you don’t know it; he knows it.

    Tesla P85+ RWD! 10/2014 w/Autopilot! “Unicorn”

    Yeah, I’m not sure how anyone can step down to a trunk car while experiencing the joy of the S’s hatch.

    Yeah, he had the arachnids bronzed. Sympathy bump for cold feet disguised as miser wives.

    Tesla P85+ RWD! 10/2014 w/Autopilot! “Unicorn”

    Floor liners aren’t Tesla branded. HARD PASS on this car... I kid, obviously. Great car and glws.

    Buying or selling a Powerwall 2? A warning...

    I get the $1k credit, but the power wall itself? What’re they gonna do, blacklist it?

    Buying or selling a Powerwall 2? A warning...

    Pff. I’m still being jerked around about one I won 2+ years ago. Their excuse has continuously been that they’re out of red power walls and can’t award a standard one, but will get back to me when they have more red ones in stock.

    2016 TESLA MODEL S FSD, EAP 60KWH $46,999.

    Wouldn’t be surprised... That’d suck, seeing they’d immediately make it a 75 if they took it in on trade.
  19. Mickie

    2016 TESLA MODEL S FSD, EAP 60KWH $46,999.

    Unless something’s changed, it should be $2k. Unfortunately RWD 60s don’t get the acceleration upgrade.

    Model X or Y

    Short answer—stay with the X unless money is no object.

    CPO P85DL Green/ Beige in IL

    This one really caught my eye. Not that I’m down with the whole green beige thing, but the L upgrade with + to boot on a color combo that someone may be crazy about. No Next-Gen seats are kind of odd, but otherwise damn. Low miles and clean history, too. ~$51k 2014 Model S | Tesla

    2014 Model S P85D For Sale

    I’m still of the opinion that the P85DL(+ especially) is, to date, an amazing car to be in. Unless Raven range is seriously needed, there’s 0 shame in this game.

    2014 Model S P85D For Sale

    Forget the members’ names but they posted vids of their cars, both P85Ds but one with Ludicrous, and the Ludicrous variant walked the non-L handily in stand-still, short drag races, repeatedly. It was a very noticeable difference.
  24. Mickie

    Bad, confusing, misleading delivery experience. Do NOT buy a used P90DL from Tesla.

    2 months for a $40 billion dollar company to refund you under-the-cushion change. Unreal. You should at the very least be allowed to keep the car or be given a loaner until they’re able to muster up your money. Obviously it’s great that you’re able to return the car without hiring an attorney...

    Car Squeaking when coming to complete stop (only with 21" Performance Wheels)

    That’s definitely an interesting find. Still silly to have to resort to such measures. But anything to not sound like a garbage truck pulling up to the red light, right?

    Car Squeaking when coming to complete stop (only with 21" Performance Wheels)

    Same issue here. All these theories of brake oxidation and electric cars don’t use their brakes blah blah is beyond maddening, especially after a dose of it from your SC. I literally pull into my garage on the 19”s after driving, without ever having any of this “junker groan”, dismount them...

    Model Y unveiling event 2019-03-14 (official thread)

    Let’s not glaze over the fact that these cars are also designed to be super efficient in terms of drag coefficient. I think Franz is doing the best he can with the styling while achieving these numbers. For everyone hating the look of the X, which IMO needs 22” wheel treatment as to not look...

    Poll: Will HW2 Autopilot be capable of full highway driving with no driver input by the end of 2018?

    If the thread title was changed to end of 2019, my answer would still be no.

    2018 Model S P100D

    Well said, bravo. And to echo on this, my Whole Foods locations can barely keep the Beyond Meat Italian sausage in stock, and it’s $9 for a pack of 4 links. The stuff’s like water following a natural disaster. I’d like to see vegan alternatives become less niche so that it can really go...

    Paint chip on new delivery, what would you do?

    Demand 4 year ESA, a set of 22"s, and 75% off Roadster. Or let them touch it up.

    A Friendly Tesla Wave?

    This is big in the Corvette world; it’s called, “Save the Wave.” I'd say 8/10 times I’d get a wave or a wave back. With my Tesla, I’ve received one grin/ nod in 2 years of ownership. You’d think these people aren’t aware they’re driving a revolutionary car and be slightly excited about...

    In the market for a Model X. Would highly appreciate it even for a fee versus paying Carfax. Thanks.

    Nice ride. Did someone say Tesla pretty much won’t do ludicrous upgrades on these regardless?

    Used P85D v performance Model 3?

    The coveted thousand dollar steering wheel? Hell yes; note I’m in Chicago. Them finally updating software so it returns to ‘on’ after shutdown made it even better for preheating.
  41. Mickie

    Used P85D v performance Model 3?

    The S is already past its depreciation curve. You'll realize a lot more depreciation, in short order, on the new 3 compounded by possibly only receiving a partial fed credit of the original $7,500, depending on when you buy/ take delivery. You'll also appreciate the extra space of an S, the...
