I didn’t see it talked about much… but the initial orders experienced technical difficulties at reveal. I’m curious how many of the initial 50+k (?) orders are duplicates. When I ordered, I ended up clicking order 5 times because it didn’t go through. I finally received a confirmation after...

Military (conventional) won’t buy it. GSA won’t buy it. Too much politics especially in the current administration. Special military units will buy it for testing/development or special applications. One unit I was assigned to would buy trucks from all around the world to pick the best one...

I know one of the guys who received it though I haven’t reached out to him. I met him at the Model X event in 2015. He was one of the first roadster buyers… and he had a MS, and then was at the MX delivery event. If I remember correctly, he held up a personalized plate at the MX event. Then...

I lemon lawed my 2017 MX because of this issue a few years ago. They tried fixing it a dozen times. Appears to be the luck of the draw. Many MX are perfectly fine. Others: The exterior metal heats, separates from the ultrasonic sensor, and then the doors malfunction. Wouldn’t be half as bad...

Yeah I have a vibration at 80 but it feels more like wheel balance issue… affects the steering wheel more. It feels different at 40… 40 feels like a motor issue. And this is different from the half shaft shutter I had in a previous model x.

Completely agree… just got the MS plaid and spent at least 15 mins trying to get the same M3/MY FSD visualization on the MS main screen. No dice. And can confirm the 40mph vibration under light acceleration is still present on the plaid.

I think the latest price decrease will be short lived because buyers will run out. They’ll have to bring back the $40k RWD standard range MY like they had in early 2021 (I bought one). That with the tax rebate would be a ridiculous steal and kill any competition.

Just sold my 600 TSLA shares premarket (at a profit) because of this price drop. Any company that pulls the rug out from under existing owners severely degrades customer satisfaction and retention efforts. A good portion of 2022’s 536,000 US customers will think twice about buying another...

I did it and it works perfectly. I checked the temp just because of the high amperage and it’s cooler than the tesla charging cable.

You can buy the 6-50 from Tesla… that seems to always be available. And because the 6-50 is a 14-50 without a neutral (Tesla doesn’t require the neutral), you can buy an adapter on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08P57HQMV?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

FWIW… the AMD processor makes a noticeable difference compared to my recent ‘21 MYSR. It makes my past MS and MX portrait displays seem ancient. Everything with the AMD is fast and the internet browser is actually very usable. Of note though, I am missing things like TikTok, the boombox mode...

369 vin that was delivered Saturday. I have the AMD, Lithium, and all season tires. Mid Atlantic.

No heated wipers on my mid Atlantic delivered unit, manufactured end of Jan. Wiper design different than early ‘21 MY though…

Picked up mine on Saturday. Produced end of January and it does NOT have double paned rears. That said, it is noticeably quieter inside than my ‘21 MY.

My ‘21 MY delivered almost exactly a year ago came with it.

Ordered 10/22. Finally picked up today. Disappointed in the car. Lots of paint defects. Drips, fisheye, the entire drivers side looks to be repainted and rough. There were even yellow marker pen marks pointing at the defects that weren’t fixed. 4-5 large ding/small dent impressions near...

Finally got a delivery date of Feb 7th. Ordered MYP blue/black on 10/22 with Dec delivery estimate.

Adding to what has already been said… if you want the prestige factor, get the Plaid. There are tons of MYs everywhere and even more in CA. They don’t turn heads like a Model S. Then, for those who know, they see you’re in a Plaid… they’ll be jealous. Not a factor for some, but a...

Hi and welcome to the forum. This belongs in the marketplace section of this site. In general, you’ll be hard pressed getting people on this site to pay that much more. Request quotes from Carvana, Givemethevin, Vroom, Cargurus and they’ll give you a premium. Good luck

Used to look like this. Now, I only see a slight glimmer of possibly red on the configurator. Perhaps it was just an editing job. Of note, the MX Plaid has gray calipers now.

Just curious if I missed something… on Tesla’s MY build page, the MYP no longer displays red calipers. I know they used to be on there… are they no longer on the car?

I actually agree with you and your points are solid. No reason for a downvote though. You could have just posted that exact reply and added to the conversation.

I wouldn’t worry about the vroom contract. I sold another car to them. They don’t care about minor issues. If there’s a large dent, then they may reduce the price. Curb rash or other wear and tear mean nothing. Carvana asks for the sticker (and yes Tesla provides one) but only because of...

Order it in advance like I did. Then sell your car.

I did virtually the same thing, but with givemethevin. If you own a MYSR, you’d be a fool not to take advantage of the crazy market. I ordered a MYP for about an $8k difference in price.

I’m fairly confident you’ll get offered more money than what you paid… especially since you had no FSD. MY values are absurdly high right now. Food for thought… enter your MY’s info into vroom for an offer (in the condition before the accident). Then you have at least a legitimate figure to...

I use Ludacris - Move B!#ch (get out the way). I also use Trump saying “Look at this guy” and “Don’t be rude”. Lastly I have the “you’re not that guy pal; trust me, you’re not that guy.” Yes, a little crass, but I’m in Maryland. It’s needed.

Sell it. Here is what dealers are paying. Go to givemethevin or vroom or carvana. They’ll give you $62-65k.

I said it ALSO happens with [just] the TACC engaged. Not just the full ap with lane keep. Perhaps I could have been clearer but it was a continuation of the thread.

My EDD to East Coast just got pushed from 18-30DEC to 15Jan-12Feb. Ordered 22Oct

I agree. That article is just alarmist and a bit ridiculous. Comes off as click bait for sure. I wouldn’t tell anyone don’t buy the MY or any other Tesla because of this issue since Tesla will fix this problem. Tesla is still the safest car on the road. (Though I will tell people don’t buy...

Well Tesla will fix the problem. When, I don’t know but hopefully soon. I remember when they switched from AP1 to AP2. I had both. AP2 was simply dangerous… it would swerve into the other lane on hills. It would slam on the brakes for highway signs. They eventually fixed it to where it was...

I have noticed a notable regression in TACC since I received a ‘21 MY in February. It was good before… not as good as AP1, but nothing to complain about. Now, I don’t trust AP or TACC in the MY. It drives erratically, and it seems to depend on the situation (lighting, type of vehicle in...

I don’t think there will be an end of quarter rush typical to what we’ve seen. So even with my mid-late December EDD to the East Coast, it’ll prob be pushed into January. Many are trying to take advantage of the aspirational tax credit and Tesla obviously knows it… and Tesla apparently won’t...

Ordered 10/22 Original EDD Dec; Refined to 2nd half of Dec Changed to Jan 15-Feb 12 Changed over the weekend to Dec 15-31 East Coast

Thank you for adding value to this thread.

You can also apply chemical oxidation to change the color. There will undoubtedly be a treatment Tesla applies to the *bare* SS; after all, SS will actually rust but won’t rot. Tesla has probably already conducted extensive tests. My guess is that they’ll have a few non-paint finish options...

MYP has had almost the same performance for a couple years now. The mach e gt damn near matches it… for less $$$. Tesla has increased performance before because of new competition… what are you all’s thoughts on Tesla increasing it (soon)? I think Brooks has done tests and assessed they’re...

Does the speed register correctly with the smaller wheels? Or does the larger side walls compensate for it?

Honestly… debating on delaying the pickup of the MY standard by givemethevin because of the delivery change. I don’t think my MY standard will change in value but you never know. I have an old Prius I can drive… so I’m conflicted.

Sold my MY standard range to givemethevin for $14k more. Ordered MYP blue, no options on 10/23. - delivery edd december - changed to Jan 15- Feb 12 today

Ordered Blue MYP on 10/23…. Sold ‘21 MY base to givemethevin. - original est delivery DEC 2021 - delivery est 12/15-12/31 - changed today to 01/15-02/12 (2022) Not complaining because I wanted delivery in 2022 to potentially take advantage of tax credit.

But the lease out and sell it to a third party like carvana, vroom, or givemethevin. It’s worth more than what you originally “paid”.

Tesla has been doing this for years. The only one of my Teslas that was actually complete during delivery was my ‘17 MX. My most recent was a ‘21 MY in February. It was missing the rear cargo floors due to lack of supply and a rear headrest had a blatant manufacturing flaw. It took 6 mos to...

Today’s market is prime for using valuation services to get your actual market value. Options (esp $$$$ options like FSD) typically don’t get full cost worked into the equation by appraisers, and sometimes options make no difference in your settlement offer. To start, submit your car to all of...

Additional wholesale info with 10k mi: - ‘21 MYSR - $58k avg - ‘21 MYLR - $66k avg - ‘21 MYP - $73k avg I should mention these are like 30-90day rolling averages, the prices in the past month are even higher.

It really is supply and demand. Wholesale dealer auction price (Manheim) on the MY base RWD is between $58-63k. There was a base no option white MY RWD that sold for $57,250 with 13k miles at the end of Oct. That’s a $40-43k car in February that appreciated 50%.

This is exactly right; the TACC (without radar) is horrendous compared to the pre 2021 Model S. I had a ‘16 MS 75D and currently have a ‘21 MY base. The MY is a much better car in my opinion. The MS looks much better to me and definitely draws more reputation points… but I had problem after...

For those who don’t know… Vroom and Carvana are publicly traded companies. They lose thousands for every car they sell. We’re in a used car bubble, and those companies would implode if they failed to come close to Wall Street estimates. That’s why they’re paying so much. And just because...
