    Pennsylvania EV Rebate

    Curious how many people have gotten the rebate since the Sept 1st change. I applied on Sept 2nd and my application has been "under review" ever since.

    Supercharger - Lumberton, NC

    Stopped by this on my way to hilton head. Easily the worst supercharger I've been to. #1. Slow. Got less than 30 kWH charging #2. Location. Behind some weird steakhouse. All the other restaurants are across 4 lanes of traffic. It was raining when we rolled in, so we opted to eat right...

    White 2016 Model X 75D AP1 For Sale

    Lol the lowballers on this forum. X's are not the same price point as a model S. And even a facelift model S with 12k miles, upgrades wheels, air suspension, and AP1 is going to cost ~68-72k. On ebay the cheapest Model X I've seen go for is 75k. 80k is probably about right.

    Model 3 for Sale

    Sure, he might be able to make a few dollars. And my offer doesn't prevent him from doing that. Every day I see more Model 3's for sales. The amount of people willing to overpay to have it now is in limited supply. I'm simply offering him an out to recoup costs.

    Model 3 for Sale

    So You paid 49k (Model 3 LR Premium) +1 K pearl white 5k EHP 1k Delivery So.....56k. And I'm assuming you'll be claiming the $7500 Federal Tax Credit And since you are in NJ, you paid 0 sales tax. So, I counter with: $48500. That's $0 loss after driving a car off the lot rather than...

    2016 Model S 75 D White/Black int. CPO

    2016 Tesla Model S 75D AP2.0 For Sale

    How much Premium would you Pay for AP1?

    Reminder with AP1 it's not just the Traffic Aware Cruise Control and actual autopilot (lane keeping) features. The hardware also unlocked advanced safety features (such as the radar to detect a car crash as far as two cars in front of you). In looking at CPO cars, I'd say AP1 hardware is a...

    Supercharger - Erwin, NY

    Hey Guys. I'll likely be using this charger in the near future (Once I get my Model 3, I have family in horseheads so I'd likely stop here fill up on the way out of town). Just trying to understand the setup: 5 Chargers are live now, sharing a parking lot with DD 5 Chargers will be coming...

    2017 MS 60D - AP2.0 - FREE SC for life -- 10k miles (HOW MUCH?)

    A 75d with a pano roof, power liftgate with EHP with the new AP 2.5 hardware and goes 0-60 in 4.2s goes for $83800 new. Minus 7500 for the Fed Incentive. So, $76300 gets you a brand new Model S, with better AP hardware, faster, and longer range. So, I think you are looking at low...

    "Tesla is a SCAM!!" - BMW Dealership

    This is why the direct sales model is better. Sales people are incapable of honesty. It's not their fault, really, its the model. They are fighting for their financial lives. They are incentivized to do anything to make the sale. Including lie. Customer service is great....until the you...

    What is Tesla afraid of?

    What do you mean NOT finished? It's in production. It's finished. My guess is they likely want to wait for when they actually start marketing, which will likely be late 2018/ early 2019 when they've completed a good bit of the Model 3 preorders and the federal rebate is entirely gone.

    Cloud based dashcam

    I think what makes sense is similar to how dashcams work. It can record X amount of data (1 hr, 2 hrs) and then overwrites the video. Event triggers makes the dashcam "keep" video Y amount of time before and after (i.e. an accident would tell it to keep 1 minute before to 1 minute after an...

    To Long Range or Not to Long Range...

    Only thing I disagree with here is your re-sale estimation. I think....at best, the value of the extended battery will decrease linearly with car value. Lets say you go with Extended Battery+ premium+ EAP...a 54k car. At 3 years, a base model 3 will be at 50%, so 17500...will people be...

    To Long Range or Not to Long Range...

    So, when the prices were announced, I was pretty well convinced I should get the long range version "First Available" version. Partly because I felt that it would "Guarantee" the full $7500 fed rebate, partly because I know my situation is changing as my wife and I will be moving at 2x in the...

    [POLL] Best use of $9k Long Range vs TSLA

    This is silly. Car upgrades are horrible investments. 9k in an index fund (rather than TSLA stock) would crush it the minute you drive it off the lot. Let alone over 10 years. It's better to have the car longer as the depreciation curve slopes quicker at the beginning. The quicker you...

    Why Model 3 is the better car than Model S

    There's no indication that is what the camera is for. If that were truly its usage, you would think it would be directly in front of the driver, not on the rear view mirror Have you driven both the S and the 3? And 1 second quicker 0-60 isn't anything to ignore. A new base Model S does 0-60...

    Supercharging fee Rates and the Model 3

    Supercharging fee Rates and the Model 3

    So, for this example, I'll use the Model 3 Long Range and State of PA Supercharging Currently, in PA, they charge .10 per minute when the charge is below 60 kW, and .20 per minute above 60 kW So, with the long range, 310 Miles, and your standard charge is around 90%. Assuming the battery is...

    Price gouging continues on the 3. Can't say I'm surprised.

    He's correct, the profit margin on the options are the higher on options then the base. The solution is QUITE simple....just buy the base model. You'll get the best value. And that's true of nearly ANY car ever. Options are ALWAYS over priced on new cars.

    Why Are You Not Cancelling Your Reservation?

    It's simple really: There isn't a comparable car at the this price point. I want an electric car with a range of 200 miles, what are my choices? The Bolt....and a Model S/X. Ok, scrap that, I want a car that has equivalent autopilot features to AP1 Wait, that is still just a tesla thing...

    I-86 Needed Supercharger Erie,PA -Binghamton, NY

    Yeah. The 86/390 intersection is the best place for one. Bath has a bunch of fast food right off 86. Whoever said Horseheads...yeah no. It's only 59 miles between Horseheads/Binghamton. Not nearly central enough.

    Elon Tweet: No 'significantly new consumer-facing technology' in Model 3

    I doubt we'll ever get anything out of tesla other than the "simpler" narrative. There's a ton of possible reasons, including not being able to design a production line for 3 different engines quick enough (RWD, AWD F/R), potential quality control/software development issues, and even a...

    Elon Tweet: No 'significantly new consumer-facing technology' in Model 3

    Honestly I believe this is about part sourcing more than anything. Tesla is bringing a whole new platform up from scratch. RWD uses a certain rear motor. AWD uses a DIFFERENT front and rear motor. It also adds extra steps to the production process. My guess is that they simply can't produce...

    Supercharger - Victor, NY

    If you are driving out 90, you might have to just go up and get on 90 in Rochester. It will tack on some extra time, but at least you'll be able to make it with chargers in Rochester (soon) and Buffalo. I'd imagine 90 will be better maintained than I 86 as well in the winter.

    Supercharger - Victor, NY

    After Erie is a bad stretch on 86, not just for EV driving. Just a long boring stretch. My thought would be the Pilot station right near where I86 and 390 meet might be the best choice. Corning has a nice little downtown to walk around at, but is pretty dead if you had to stop there late...

    Supercharger - Moosic, PA

    Charging from home would be my ideal, but, as I've said previously, I live in a townhome that I rent, so setting up a 14-50 outlet just isn't an option at this point. I work from home, so I'll probably do 100-150 miles a week max. Running up there on a saturday morning with my Ipad, grabbing a...

    Supercharger - Moosic, PA

    As a resident of this area, a few recommendations: I'd say that Breaker is probably a bit further than a 15 minute drive. Probably closer to 25-30 minutes. It's off the beaten path a bit. A bit closer to the highway with a destination charger is Arena Bar and Grill, though, if you consider...
