    $50,000+ car while economy in freefall

    I don't see how new car prices don't come down across the board in Q2 and Q3. Same for home prices. There will be deals to be had soon enough.

    Tesla taking payment and delaying delivery

    If you didn't pay in full, you are probably ok.

    Tesla taking payment and delaying delivery

    Yes I do. But you can start by searching to forum. If 90% of the cars had this problem, why are they still having customers pay and then canceling the night before? People had "pay and night before cancelations" last week too. With the Model 3, they pretended they "lost the cars" and...

    Tesla taking payment and delaying delivery

    They also max out their ABL the day before the quarter end and then they pay it back at the start of the next quarter. Low interest income is the tell. Many Tesla investors are not professional investors. They hear "$6B cash balance" and that's about it.

    Tesla taking payment and delaying delivery

    Tesla does this often. They are called "financial deliveries" within Tesla. They charge customers in full near the end of the quarter and then delay delivery until after the end of the quarter. I've mentioned this in another thread and it happened with the Model 3 as well. You should file a...

    How's the ride of the Y?

    I see no reason for it to be different. They are using the same suspension I believe. The car is mostly a Model 3 with a hatch back and a higher seating position. The underbelly is the same.

    Snippiness 2.0

    This is what Tesla calls a "financial delivery". They collect your money at the end of the quarter and then cancel the delivery. They did this with the Model 3 too. Helps their reported cash balance. It's intentional. You should file a complaint with your AG.

    Model S - Silver Slip Stream 19 inch Wheels with Winter Tires

    VIN Decoder | TeslaTap P means production vehicle. Your VIN IS 131723 which is greater than 50900. Mine is 175960. So I THINK we are ok on that front. But I'd rather you ask your local Tesla service center or a tire store since you are not local.

    75 price cut and 60 upgrade follows!!

    I bet not. I think it will stay at $2000 and eventually Tesla will say "Last call to upgrade" and then discontinue the option. There is no reason for it to drop to $500. If you don't upgrade at $2,000, you will most likely get exactly $2,000 less for your car when you sell. It's already a...

    Upgrading to 75 just for resale value..

    Yes - ish. You will lose the same by upgrading, assuming you are going to own you car for around 6 years or less. Above that, you will won't quite get it all back. But you might need the extra range as your battery capacity drops if you own for over 6 years anyway. I think most 60MS owners...

    75 price cut and 60 upgrade follows!!

    Even at 8 years, I think it might be worth it. What do you think a 60MS will sell for in 8 years? What do you think a 75MS will sell for in 8 years? I calculate the difference at about $1750. The real cost to you would be $250 + $150 (tax) + $250 (interest on $2K over 8 years after taxes)...

    75 price cut and 60 upgrade follows!!

    My wife is still asleep. She's snoozes, she loses. Ask your wife about resale value. It's going to cost you $2K now or $2k when you try to resell the car. You might as well have the extra range. It will just cost you the interest on $2K in the long run, not actually $2K
  29. Deans

    75 price cut and 60 upgrade follows!!

    The upgrade cost is based on the CURRENT 75 model cost minus the ACTUAL price you paid for the 60. The 75S went down but the 75X did not.
  30. Deans

    75 price cut and 60 upgrade follows!!

    Yes, unfortunately. Tesla just dropped the price of the 75 MS a lot, so you kinda took a hit. 60MS owners were spared IF we upgrade for $2K. I think it's almost a forced upgrade for 60 MS owners. As others of said, not upgrading will cost as much at resale/trade-in time.

    Smoother riding coilovers - let's built it! Band together - then approach Bilstein/MotonSo

    I lowered mine to 33psi. Helps a little but the ride is still pretty terrible on concrete roads. It's fine on black top.

    8.1 AP2 MS - TACC did not see a bus stopping in front this morning!

    I followed a garbage truck today. The display did not show a car in front of me as we moved from 0 mph all the way up to 20mph. I then engaged TACC, with my foot ready to brake. Surprisingly, as soon as a I engaged TACC the car appeared on the display and TACC acted correctly. After...

    Firmware 8.1 - Autopilot HW2

    It will brake automatically if you have TACC and/or AP engaged, unless you are pressing the accelerator at the time (which always overrides TACC and any automatic braking, including AEB when it becomes available). I did notice that in slow moving traffic, TACC does not always see buses directly...

    Firmware 8.1 - Autopilot HW2

    Yes, at this point. The display just shows that it sees other lanes to change to when you use the turn signal. AP1 showed cars their too. I imagine AP2 will eventually display cars there as well.

    8.1 AP2 MS - TACC did not see a bus stopping in front this morning!

    I tested this again today in daylight. Sometimes The display showed the moving bus in front, sometimes it didn't. Sometimes it flickered on and off periodically. Definitely not acting quite right. Passenger cars in front do not exhibit this behavior.

    8.1 AP2 MS - TACC did not see a bus stopping in front this morning!

    I and the original poster are talking about a MOVING bus, not a stationary bus. I am well aware of the limitations of detecting stationary objects. The fact that it isn't detecting moving objects directly in front of me makes it virtually useless for assistance. "Traffic AWARE cruise control"...

    8.1 AP2 MS - TACC did not see a bus stopping in front this morning!

    I just had the same thing happen. I was not using TACC, but the car does not see moving buses!!!! I was behind a moving bus coming to a stop sign. The display showed nothing in front of me. The bus then moved forward with me following. Nothing registered. We were both moving at 25 mph and...

    Smoother riding coilovers - let's built it! Band together - then approach Bilstein/MotonSo

    The problem is not rude height. The suspension to too stiff if you live some where that gets snow and ice.

    Smoother riding coilovers - let's built it! Band together - then approach Bilstein/MotonSo

    I've driven some loaners with air suspension and it wasn't that much better. Still very harsh around town. Not quite as much secondary bounces though.

    Pending firmware update: ? Firmware 8.1

    I needed calibration. It took two 20 mile drives on the highway. During calibration, you can use auto steer only up to 55mph. After, 80mph. The only way to know when it's done is by seeing the steering wheel icon when you are above 55mph

    Firmware 8.1 - Autopilot HW2

    Mine needed calibration. There was no calibrating message. But I could only use auto steer below 55 mph and it was still bad. I drove 20 miles. Got out briefly and drove back. No luck on way back. Later that night I went out and autosteer immediately worked above 55mph. There was a clear...

    Smoother riding coilovers - let's built it! Band together - then approach Bilstein/MotonSo

    I'd be interest if someone finds an aftermarket solution. The rough ride with my 60D coil is by far the biggest complaint I have with the car. If I can't find a solution, I might sell it fairly quickly (1 year?) and just suck up the loss. It's too bad Audi and Porsche won't have a comp until...

    Firmware 8.1 - Autopilot HW2

    I suspect the second camera is only being used on interstate highways where 80mph speeds are allowed. When the max speed is 35mph, I would bet that only one camera is being used which is why it still drives like a drunk, the lines are still wavy, and the adjacent lanes aren't seen. Just a guess...
