I installed 40 panels in 2016 and completed another 20 panels for Phase 2 in 2017. My system is 16.1 kW gross and 14 kW net with my enphase microinverters. When my solar system was new, I hit 107 kWh on a perfect and cool, sunny May day. After 7 years and some degradation, I just hit 92 kWh...

I purchased a new Model Y on March 1 and as I was at the Naperville Tesla I used my Tesla app to simply transfer (1) my FSD from my 2018 Model 3 and (2) my lifetime free supercharging from my 2012 Model S. It was smooth and simple and took only a few seconds; I was amazed it went so well. I'm...

3rd price drop, now $11k off, asking $44k...since no one seems to put much/any value on the $15k FSD option. Hopefully the premium interior, new tires, and awesome blue/white color combo does the trick for Dory’s next (2nd) owner!

Bump, 2nd price reduction...now $48k.

10% price drop...$49,500 (w/ FSD Beta v.69!)

I noticed your Subject stating you own my "twin" Blue with White Interior 3, but then was confused by your pics with the darkest white seats I've ever seen! ;o)

$55,000 for Mid-Range 62 kWh Battery ($11,000 option above Standard Range) with Rear Wheel Drive Has both Enhanced Autopilot (EAP) ($6,000 option) & Full Self-Driving (FSD) Capability (+$9,000 option, or $15,000 total current cost!) Full Premium Interior includes Front & Rear Heated Seats...

If you sold your 3, please share the price so we might now the current FMV of a similar 3 (that I am listing this week). Many thanks!

Wow, @CadillacJack appears to be my Canadian TWIN, as we own the same SigRed Tesla and also the same BRK shares! I've been to over a dozen of the annual shareholders meetings; sorry that this year's was cancelled :(

What is that cumulative number, specifically? Is it a certain number of Supercharged kWh? I always wondered how a company like Tesloop avoided slow Supercharging (with clients waiting) as they go round trip every day between LA and Vegas (or wherever they go)...

I would also love to improve my SigP85 pack range with this 90, for $4500. My imputed 100% range was 250 miles before Tesla’s software update last summer that instantly whacked off 10%, which I sort of view as artificial/temporary. But how would my current 225 mile range affect your $4,500...

My bad. Since you’re a fellow Quad Citian, I thought we had met at our HyVee SC. But no NE concerts for me, so maybe you did meet another twin to my SigRed P85. Sorry.

Yes, I totally got your point. Just my dumb EV humor that makes my wife roll her eyes :rolleyes:

That was I (Bob) :D

Perhaps your parents could buy this poor divorced guy an EV, and then he could quickly pay you off the $160 he owes you...with all his gas money saved! Poor guy problem solved :cool:

If my Tesla is rear ended, I’m not too concerned if Progressive refuses to cover the full cost of my exhaust :rolleyes:

“ever” is a very long time to guarantee a floor price of $40k :cool:

If they were smart, they would (risky driving = higher claims/losses). :eek:

@nuts has a fitting name, as he likely is losing his mind after shorting the stock just as TSLA flew past $500...$600...heading to Mars! :p My 3 built a year ago is the best car ever designed/built...not a single defect after 16k joyous miles driven :cool:

Why do crack dealers give away free samples? To get one hooked! Let everyone try AutoPilot and realize how awesome and necessary it is to stress free driving. And then, once “sold” on the benefits of it, actually SELL it :rolleyes: Not saying I like it, but it’s pure genius marketing...even...

Beautiful Volt! Mine is an unloaded, high-mile, scratched up gray one (ugly ‘lil sister to yours). But it’s a perfect first car for my teenage driver. I will vouch that a ‘13 Volt is a perfect daily commuter that can be used as a pure EV for 40 miles daily, yet also driven anywhere (340...

Congrats on your sale! You did a great, detailed listing at a fair price for a loaded FSD 3. Wish I could have bought those beautiful rims :rolleyes: Might you have a link to where you purchased them? Many thanks!

Sounds like Tesla is several years behind on that paperwork thing :rolleyes: Busy building EVs :cool:

Sounds like this guy did... :eek:

Cold air outside is also more dense, causing more drag. So more energy is required to drive the same distance, even before you hit the bacon for your seat or cabin heat/defrost. Even when you use zero cabin heat in the winter, your Tesla will get less range because the battery is cold and less...

The lessee pays insurance, just like every other lease or car rental. I don’t have Warren Buffett’s balance sheet :(, so I can’t offer insurance. As lessor and owner of the vehicle, I would be the named insured on the lessee’s policy (e.g., Progressive, Liberty Mutual, State Farm, etc). When...

@mazers Since there was an impact, did all these videos instantly save without any action on your part? Good video to have showing you did everything right with a proper slowdown when traffic ahead of you was stopping. TeslaCam videos are invaluable in getting the at-fault driver's insurance...

If it were me, I’d push for receiving $7k, plus tax, as the replacement value of FSD (which was also my actual cost: $5k for EAP + $2k “sale” price on FSD). Simple argument for full cost (no diminished value like the rest of a vehicle) is that the functionality of FSD is just NOW starting to be...

Anyone on a budget likely hasn’t set aside $17-25k (costs quoted fall in this wide range, in the past six months) for an out-of-pocket repair expense for a non-warranty refurbished battery pack (cost is AFTER returning your old one as a core charge). It’s a very unfortunate reality that most...

Actually receiving a diminished value settlement isn’t easy; it will be a long, stressful and expensive process. It may end well, but likely more challenging and time consuming than you can imagine. A quick total with fair price settlement check from insurance is always best, IMHO. Insurance...

I own a limousine and exotic car (which includes 4 EVs) rental business in Iowa. I love my 4 EVs, but they are rented far less than I anticipated. Most inquiries are still for ICE. Folks often ask what my gorgeous Signature Red P85 is, and I say a TESLA...only to be asked “Who makes it?”...

Looks very aerodynamic with a low drag coefficient. And it's quite versatile with that interchangeable rear end. Should be a winner if they can build it and price it right. Truck market will be huge.

Would you share how much that custom blueberry wrap cost? It's stunning; love the color! Tesla wanted you to remove it before trading it in?

I’m glad someone else knew, as I just know they’re the original rims chosen for the Coyote :p

I loaned a bunch of money to the son of Jay Ohrberg (in Guinness World Record Book for building the world’s longest - 102-ft - limousine) to start up a comedy club. A year later (1996), I got none of my cash back, and he defaulted on the loan. So I then got the three vehicles pledged as...

What is that red car with the gull wing doors in the garage, in back of the yellow C5 ? @jkoya It’s the original Hardcastle and McCormack COYOTE “beauty” car used for close-up shots in Seasons 2-3 (1985-86). It’s a customized McLaren body on a 1981 DeLorean with 11k miles. You have very good eyes!

The Color combo is the Signature red exterior with Black interior... You have amazingly good taste :cool:

I like the link and info on Germany’s energy, but the real-time wholesale price of electricity has little correlation to what consumers pay. GF4, if lucky, will have already met with the utility, politicians, and regulators to hopefully cut a discounted deal for bringing in this new economic...

I worked over two decades for Buffett’s Iowa utility company, and ensuring low cost electricity prices was my top job. Iowa had a 16-year rate freeze (1995-2011), with rates ranging from 3 cents for industrial clients like Google (which signed up and built the world’s largest data center in...

Save yourself future disappointment and demand the seller give you all service records upfront, as Tesla likely won’t give them to you (especially if you’re not the owner). Current owner needs to further explain missing wheelwell cover, as it sounds like he thought he had a Jeep and took it...

@tezlafor5 appears to be my long lost twin (I grew up in Whitewater, WI), based on his same adventurous love of road tripping a la Tesla! Many thanks for sharing all the details with the TMC community about your 4k+ mile trek! Avoiding the cost and hassles of flying, in favor of the joy of a...

What year is your S? That determines if the car has lifetime Supercharging.

My wife also didn’t like this new “feature” that came as a surprise. Her Cadillac ELR does something similar by softly vibrating the driver’s seat to alert the driver when hitting either line. But she prefers Cadillac’s “suggestion” vs Tesla’s Crazy Uncle Elon abruptly grabbing the wheel :p...

@jread Is that price - and thus option to upgrade from 85 to 90 kWh battery - available to anyone? Sorry, but I just found this thread and didn’t go back and read the 9k+ posts. I’m simply wanting to know my potential out-of-pocket cost for an upgrade, if needed or wanted. I’m assuming that...

My 3 w/ its 3 EV brethren (& some ICE, 2) :rolleyes:

We rent our 3 and other EVs by the day, week, or month...but the transportation charge from Iowa across the pond seems high :p Good luck finding someone doing what we do over in the UK. Does TURO or a similar service operate over there?

Hopefully the yellow dotted lines on this photo explain what Tesla HQ has TAKEN from our vintage TESLAs (ergo, from us, the owners)! To obtain my P85’s original 470hp, it would equate to 350kW of power...and that top yellow dotted line says TESLA just grounded me from a huge chunk of my car’s...

Understood. I had found a link to, I think, Tesla’s website forum/Q&A about someone inquiring what it would cost in 2020 when a 2012’s warranty ran out. And that was my concern...my “worst case” scenario that my warranty ran out, then the next day my battery failed...cause that’s usually how it...

Tesla’s downgrade of my battery in my P85 has totally changed how I view what had been the best car ever, just a year ago when I bought it from the original owner who had perfectly cared for this Signature S since new. When I visit my mom in WI in the winter, I can no longer make it 188 miles...

I agree with this reply. I had someone back into my front end of my first S that included breaking the plastic clip that mounted my headlight. It looked like very minor damage that could almost be buffed out (less than $1k, IMHO). I had to go to Rockford to find the closest Tesla-approved body...
