    Tesla banned me from purchasing another Tesla after vehicle buyback

    That’s not the post I responded to. I think you are in a different conversation.

    Tesla banned me from purchasing another Tesla after vehicle buyback

    You cannot fraudulently transfer assets in order to hide them from creditors, including in bankruptcy. Tax is not the issue.

    Tesla banned me from purchasing another Tesla after vehicle buyback

    It is fraud to transfer your assets at below market price with the understanding that you will be made whole in the future and the intent to defraud your creditors. That is the scenario he described.

    Tesla banned me from purchasing another Tesla after vehicle buyback

    The exact situation you describe is not legal. It’s fraud.

    Given lackluster service would you still buy a Tesla?

    I have owned two Model Ss and have had great service. Even if it had not been stellar, it beats having to constantly buy gas and get oil changes.

    used 75D or 90D?

    If you are thinking about buying a pre-2016-refresh 90D, know that the build quality on the refresh cars is a lot better and the interior is much better quality. Previously, I had an 85 with AP1. I bought a 75D a few months ago after deciding that the premium for a 90D was not worth it to...

    Replacing MS with a... minivan?

    Absolutely agree with this. Slight perceived discomfort occasionally does not merit buying a gas-burning car.

    Tesla Sentry Mode in Action

    I have lived up and down the East Coast most of my life. The first, and only, place I have ever heard the term "smash-and-grab" is on these forums. The only times I have heard of a car being robbed in a community I lived in or near is when someone left their doors unlocked.

    Yellow Border

    I have an August 2017 build vehicle and just noticed the yellow border. Does anyone know when Tesla stopped installing screens affected by this problem?

    Largest concern about buying a model 3

    In all seriousness though, the answer to the bankruptcy risk question is straightforward. Unsecured bonds issued by Ford, GM, and Fiat Chrysler all yield around 4.3%. Tesla bonds yield around 8%, indicating that debt investors perceive a significantly higher default risk. As others have pointed...

    Largest concern about buying a model 3

    So apparently there are a lot of people walking through life perceiving risks and dangers where there are none. If buying a car is what qualifies as a “risk” or a “leap of faith” for you, you must lead a fairly dull existent.

    about to buy a cpo model s. IS AP2 that much better than AP1?

    A key question is which software version she has. AP2 on current software is better in my opinion. Several problems that still affect AP1–such as braking for shadows or inability to navigate sharp turns—have been solved in the current release of AP2. And several other capabilities that work ok...

    about to buy a cpo model s. IS AP2 that much better than AP1?

    I just switched from a 2014 AP1 to a 2017 AP2 Model S. AP2 with the latest software is hands down better than AP1. AP1 has been left behind.

    Model 3 totaled in accident

    Also, the car makes a ton of noises and the screen flashes red. Even if AP disengaged at that point, there is no way anyone remotely paying attention would fail to notice that the car required his attention. On the other hand, it IS easy to knowingly disengage AP but not realize that TACC is...

    Model 3 totaled in accident

    Have you ever seen what happens if a large animal goes through the front windshield? I passed a van that had struck a horse on an interstate once. The driver and the passenger, if there was one, were definitely dead... They received a direct impact.

    Model S is a $60k car now...

    There is a big difference between the cabin of a Model S from a few years and a current Model S. I just switched from a late 2014 to a 2017.

    Model S is a $60k car now...

    Well-equipped too. Although, I wouldn’t buy one without a sunroof.

    Model S is a $60k car now...

    If a Toyota Camry is a $25,000 car, then a Bentley is a $45,000 car. This is the same argument that had been made again and again. Good luck buying a new S for $60K.

    Sentry Mode Catches Hit in Parking Lot

    Public disclosure of criminal convictions is distinct from the concept of monopoly on violence. In the U.S. we have a system of both monopoly on violence and a strong presumption that records of misdeeds are public. Disclosure is not violence.

    It should be every time you park in a location that is not a designated trusted location so that you can create an exception for your garage and save on USB storage space.

    2016 Model S 90D, New Nose, Lifetime Supercharging - $72,500

    It’s nice that you were able to find a good condition car, but that is a far cry from the previous CPO program in which Tesla restored all the cars it sold to very good condition, thus giving us a lot of options to choose from. I don’t think there are any corrections being offered.

    Watch out for third party "luxury" dealers. Many of them buy damaged vehicles at auction, fix them up, and resell.
