    Given the passage of YES to Elon's Twitter Poll - Where do we end up at the close on Monday?

    I'm going to guess -5% down. My rationale is some will sell. However, some have to realize Elon isn't going to login to his Robinhood account and sell 10% the same way us retail would.

    Anyone heard about, owned, or towed a CAMP 365 on the Model X?

    Been looking at travel trailers and the CAMP365 looks amazing. Great results reported for Model Y, wonder how well it would work for the X? Box campers is a range killer. https://insideevs.com/news/507832/tesla-modely-towing-range-test/

    Has anyone actually been able to buy a sleeper once the 990 motor was rolled out in force to AWD?

    Tesla tried to cancel my delivery this year and I said no.

    Gave me a bunch of crap like -Couldn’t be built this year. -No local inventory. -Any other inventory in neighboring areas is going to be 4K transport charge and still provably won’t make it. -I could always pay 10K more and get the P version I don’t need. I unloaded on the poor rep who was...

    So is it definitive for practical purposes that AWD and P have different hardware classifications?

    Tesla going to make some decent change with $2,000 rolling in for AWD+ upgrades. Why not charge $5,000 or $6,000 and make even MORE cash making AWD- up to 3P- levels? My belief is that at one point, all AWD / 3P- cars were the same minus software. There has clearly been a divergence just...

    Model 3 Price Increases! $500 for SR+ and LRAWD

    SR+ and LR AWD increased by $500 each to $39,990 and $48,990. Performance models are unchanged. Shipping an inventory vehicle from a delivery center to your delivery center is now $4000. This used to be $2,000. Anyone who got in before the price increase, needs to write Tesla a check for $500...

    Not to complain but have to at least question when it comes to loaners..

    Why do the Enterprise loaners have the worst yellowing screens? Half the miles of my X but 6 times worse for wear. Second is why doesn’t Tesla just UV treat them to remove the yellow? It’s a bad and unnecessary look for Tesla no matter who “owns” the car. I know not everyone gets a loaner so...

    Suspect MCU is dead and mobile connector "locked in", need advice on next steps.

    A few days ago, my wife was driving the inlaw's X with a blacked out MCU screen. Once I took a look at it, I rebooted the MCU. It took awhile to come back up and I thought the matter resolved. Today I went to check into the car and found out I could not access it remotely. it says its been...

    Cybertruck bulletproof? To what caliber?

    I recall 9MM at the unveiling but any more details? I'm assuming FMJ but confirmation would be nice. How does it hold up to Handgun Calibers .40S&W .45ACP? Rifle calibers like 5.56 308 30-06 50 BMG? 12 Gauge Slugs? This is just a fun discussion as "bullet proofness" isn't really what...

    For SoCal People: 20% off all work at Concours

    Was going to exchange my wife's Model 3 SR for a Model Y

    but I'm going to go Cybertruck instead! Wondering if anyone else is considering the same? CUV > Sport Compact Cybertruck > Minivan, SUV, CUV

    OPINION: Model 3 made in China better quality than USA built.

    Predicted this years ago and is of zero surprise to me. 2:44 mark is when the question is answered. I hope they can eventually replace Fremont's manufacturing and import east to west.

    Model X Icebreaker crushes finger of five year old.

    I never knew this thing existed. It might help an X owner with very inquisitive children. I-TEAM EXCLUSIVE: Tesla blames 5-year-old after finger crushed by Model X 'ice breaker' Freak accident but the response from the daughter, followed by her dad is bizarre/hilarious: She tells us by Skype...

    Forgot I had the enhanced anti theft system installed.

    Model X Enhanced Anti-Theft Left wife in the car and she just wanted “climate on” and not use dog mode. She paid for her objection later after trying to nap and move around in the car a few minutes later. Without pets and never leaving kids in the car, you might not figure out the case for...

    Beat up a Lambo with a 5x8 trailer attached. Guy was not happy.

    Caught up to a Lambo at a light that was hot rodding. Burned him two lights in a row and he decided to make a right turn at the 3rd light. <snicker> Best part is I had a uhaul trailer attached. 2nd best part is that I have an old uncorked 75X.

    Just bought ESA for the X. Tesla is probably losing on this.

    Next step after removing it from the website and hiding it from the uninformed joe is to stop offering it for sale. There is no good reason to force an in person visit when you already had the mechanism to make the same transaction online. How long can Tesla stall the HW3 upgrade that is owed...

    Model 3 FSD Conspiracy Theory

    It affects S and X owners of course but not to the scale of Model 3 owners. Some FSD features are good to go. Tesla could release them but won’t due to the capex and opex of doing so. Any features that use HW3 would infuriate HW2 and HW2.5 owners that paid for FSD. There’s no new sales or...

    Model 3 price drops and reactions foreshadowed thousands of years ago.

    A good friend brought up this up to me and I was blown away by how relatable the passage was. Two millennium after common era, a parable holds truer than ever. Imagine if Musk said the following! 13 “But he answered one of them, ‘I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn’t you agree to work...

    Pedestrian hit and killed by Model 3 - "not a self-driving model"

    An investigation showed Goodwin had gone into the roadway and was struck by a car heading north on Jamboree. A videographer at the location said the car was a Tesla, but Birozy said it was not a self-driving model. 19-year-old pedestrian hit, killed near Tustin Marketplace Saturday night –...

    Was my Model X uncorked? (Finally?)

    I had taken my Model X in for uncorking back in Nov of 2017 at a service center. I got an invoice and everything stating the work was done. I installed a Tesla remote app just to poke around and saw it was P3 under performance config. Tesla mobile service came today to properly uncork it...

    The Model 3 Is The Most Boring When It Comes To S3x

    And Model 3 owners are the most fortunate for that. There’s no bad time to get a Model 3. Still the same old thing since July 2017 pretty much. No significant changes since the first 40 produced. Significant changes to me are changes that would affect resale value or have diminished...

    What Exactly Does Sentry Mode Do On My Hw 2.0 Model X?

    Other than: Catfishing potential miscreants to think they are being recorded when nothing is actually happening? I do see value in herd inoculation if everyone thinks every Tesla can record when it really doesn’t. Would like to know what it REALLY does. Vampire drain of rendering a red eye...

    Happy Father’s Day to all the Tesla owners and thanks to Tesla for such a safe car.

    So I’m drunk off my ass with the bottomless champagne brunch but thought it was important to recognize how fortunate we are to be driving such safe cars on such a day of significance. No matter how safe we drive, or how we responsible we are, anything can happen on the road. Statistically, the...

    Let's talk Autopilot on HW 2.5 vs HW 3.0

    A lot of people, understandably, were interested in securing HW 3.0 for their vehicles. The presumption is that AP that came with the purchase or added on later will be a better performing product than HW 2.5. For FSD purchasers, it saves a service trip but I doubt that is a huge concern...

    Day of judgement is coming and I'm disappointed in the 3SR owners.

    I was unsure if this day was coming but I was always prepared for it. Tesla has emailed many, hopefully all the 3SR purchasers who received a 3SR+ at delivery. The email states that they will be downgraded to 3SR in the coming days and they can pay for a 3SR+ upgrade if they decide. In a well...

    Anyone buy or know of someone who got an iPace?

    Just curious as I’ve seen only one iPace that belonged to an actual owner. 3-4 other times I’ve seen Jaguar promo cars driving around Orange County. There was a lot of fanfare about how awesome it looks, Tesla killer articles etc. I pointed it out to my wife when I saw one. “hey look...
  33. MXWing

    So what’s the story on the downgraded 3SR?

    At least until the second week of May, all SR cars were actually SR+ cars with SR pricing. I have read one anecdote of a new SR owner getting a car with a window covered, no fog lights and 220 miles max from the factory. This stands to reason that 3SR +/- buyers should expect a software...

    What happens in 5 seconds driving a 3SR vs a 3P+ starting at zero.

    3SR in 5 seconds: I hit the speed limit. 3P in 5 seconds: I am charged with a felony. I go to jail. I get a minimum of 2 points on my DMV record. I have ridiculous insurance costs for years, if I could get insured at all. -- While we all know the 0-60 times between the trims, I never thought...

    It’s more “fuel” to drive my Volt than the Performance Model 3.

    I will probably only get 215 miles out of 75KW when driving the Volt. I get more than that driving the 3P with the 20” wheels. While one can get more range out of both, hypermilling is not in my lexicon. I drive the Volt in baby Tesla mode which is L and Sport. I’m at 350 watt miles so no...

    Don’t take for granted the existence of the 35K SR

    Some poor Volt owner was told to get their ICE engine replaced. It was out of warranty and they were looking for options. I said it wasn’t worth the time, effort and just go get a 35K SR. I was told it was mythical and no one has gotten one. ORLY? Not only did I get one l, I was irritated by...

    Wireless charger throwdown - who wins?

    For my previous Model 3, I had gotten a Gen 1 Nomad. Works great, and still works after all the updates. Now the field is more crowded what is the best? Top consideration is charging speed while working with a USB drive for Sentry Mode. Nomad Gen 2? Taptes? Jeda? Anything else?

    Personal security while sleeping at a charging stop

    Your home is your castle. When you are plugged in, you have no means of retreat. My castle is always defended so I feel very secure. It's far faster and easier for me to immobilize a threat than to struggle with unplugging a charger and trying to drive off. Prey mentality runs rampant among...

    Irritated after 4 days of SR ownership.

    So after 4 days or so of SR ownership I’m irritated. At speed - whether it be 45, 60, 70 - it drives far too closely to my 86.5K Model 3. It already looks like it inside. I know the cars quite well so I can identify practically every difference - down to IGBT vs MOSFET for the inverters...

    Added second Model 3 to family, 3SR stupid cheap.

    3SR+/- for 35K is a crazy deal. I think I sell this car for 25K in 2 years time making my effective net net cost at 250 per month. YMMV on your exact exposure to credits/rebates/deductions, etc but I believe people can land anywhere between 200-350 per month. Far cheaper than a lease with...

    Crazy fire sale going on with Model 3. Y wait?

    Gonna have my wife cruise around in a 3 yhile waiting for the Y. Not sure the point of waiting when the depreciation on this car is going to be 400 bucks a month tops. Y wait? Especially if you don’t already have a Tesla.
  42. MXWing

    My opinion on the best Model 3 deal.

    Like Tesla, I may change my mind tomorrow but here is what I plan to do: Downgrade the 3SR+ I have on order to 3SR, add in autopilot. $37K base is a steal for this config. Partial premium interior, autopilot included for less than the price of he SR+ by itself last week - crazy. -- This is...

    Wouldn’t it be cool if sentry mode showed a video feed?

    Even if it cost a little more for data (Tesla needs the money anyway) it would be neat to see a feed from the car cameras. A basic application would be to see if a level 2 charger opens up as an example as your car can face it. And for thieves considering breaking in - why not show their...

    Found the 3 Series driver who traded in his car for a Model 3.

    Do you want to know how I know it was a former 3 Series driver? Kept changing lanes without using their turn signals. I was sure to drive in front of him and showed him left, right, left, right, blinkers. I'd do up,up,down,down if I could have. For former euro-lux owners, Tesla's DO HAVE TURN...

    Got caught in Tesla FOMO - how long can I delay delivery?

    Dont really want another car until June but didn’t want to get a hike on me. Anyone see a issue with delaying delivery until June? I understand if prices do drop, you get the better price as long as you haven’t taken possession. Thanks

    Isn’t FSD discounted by 3K if you preorder the Model Y?

    Under the old structure pricing went like EAP - 5k at delivery, 6k post FSD - 3k at delivery, 5k post Current structure is 5K for the whole enchilada. Early adopters of FSD got displeased so prices are supposed to revert on Monday. If so, it should be 8K again for the whole package. Am I...

    PSA: Smell your loaner before you accept it.

    Yes I realize the following is a first world problem but I take every effort to improve my decision making no matter how minuscule. I am always grateful to get a Tesla loaner because you are still in a Tesla. In my case it’s an S which I don’t own so it’s doubly magical. Though my particular S...

    Those who placed orders without EAP/FSD did Tesla reach out saying price will increase?

    I am guessing most Tesla owners are not on TMC and do not follow every Tesla price move. It’s possible the last brouhah of price drops and EAP/FSD price dump went unnoticed. Elon Musk says it was a mistake. I would like to test the hypothesis it wasn’t a mistake. Was anyone upsold, called or...
