    What things to check when buying a used Tesla?

    I’ve been buying used ICE cars for nearly 30 years and never been stuck with a lemon. I’m pretty good at diagnosing ICE problems by feel and by ear and I usually notice problems several months before a mechanic is able to fully diagnose it. Now I’m thinking of starting a search for a 2015...

    Finding AP Hardware - what Model Year are the cars built in October-December 2014?

    It is often said that Tesla cars don't have "model years". But Tesla CPO and any used car site think otherwise. So, when searching for a used Tesla with AP Hardware, should I be looking for cars advertised as "2014", since the AP Hardware started being delivered around October of that year? Or...

    What's the maximum passenger height for the MS jump seats?

    Tesla site talks about a maximum weight of ~70 lbs. My kids are skinny so I'm more concerned about useful life of the seats (when will they outgrow it?) based on maximum height. Any info available? Any first-hand experiences?

    California $2,500 tax rebate details

    I understand CA has a rebate of $2,500 that can be used towards purchase of any new Tesla. Does anybody know the following details: - Do the capital gains from the sale of someone's home in another state count towards the $500K (joint) income limit? - Do you still get the full rebate even if...

    Reaction time required to avoid Florida crash?

    Has anybody calculated the reaction time that would have been required to avoid that crash? I've personally been in 2 accidents in the last 25 years where I "saw it coming" but was not prepared to do anything about it. Both times there was a vague "hmm, this is unusual" moment followed by a...
