I've had mine for almost a month, and so far, all interactions have been positive. The biggest takeaway? MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE CYBERTRUCK! They haven't seen it or read about it. Think of how much we all assume most people follow the news, what Elon says, etc. Nope. Most people are...

Something is going on with this forum and anything that isn't text.

Going back to investing, I think the million dollar question is what will happen first: Stock drops due to low delivery numbers Stock rises due to FSD and Wall Street realizing Tesla is a great AI play I'm leaning towards the first option, and am hoping for a dip early next week to load up...

Believe it or not, Florida is the 3rd largest state in the union.

I think lawyers will be lining up to sue every single company and declare their CEO's comp package is unfair. I mean, if fairness is the only issue, then how can any of them be worth the money, right? Let's start with the Oil and Gas companies, and then the large banks, Wall Street, etc!!!

New CNBS low: GM to release plug-in hybrid vehicles, backtracking on product plans General Motors is changing its product lineup strategy to include plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, CEO Mary Barra told investors Tuesday. Barra did not disclose specific details of the plans other than that...

Can you summarized them?

To me, the only reason to lease in the past was when the manufacturer incentivized the lease to cause it to be a 0% loan for 3 years, assuming the buyout was what the car was really supposed to be after 3 years. Then it becomes like a stock option: wait 3 years, and if it's still good, execute...

Funny, Deutsche Bank just named Moileye as the "last man standing" in autonomous driving lol: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/01/04/deutsche-bank-names-stock-seen-as-last-man-standing-in-driverless-tech.html

Did the same thing lol!

Classic. Tesla's recall is a major event screams the headline. Toyota's is just a glitch... Toyota recalls 1 million vehicles over airbag sensor glitch https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/20/cars/toyota-recalls-1-million-vehicles-airbag-sensor-issue/index.html

I match your RN number range and am also in Florida. It opened up for me on 1 of my 3 reservations. It was 3am when I read the post on Twitter/X of just checking your account vs. waiting for an email, and I rushed to order then.

I pulled the trigger so fast at 3am when I read the posts and found out I could order it that I forgot to even look at the delivery dates or options lol. Congrats! I think once we get it, all doubts will be gone!

Do you mind sharing how you confirmed?

Please explain?

Rationalization...How things get done!

@Unpilot, go into your account and once in your Cybertruck reservation, click the "Manage Order". It may say to start the process. I never received an email, but on X, people were saying it was showing up without the email. I went in and checked, and there it was. Hence the 3am timestamp on my...

Agreed, hence the order of the....CYBERBEAST!!! For that version, it's really only a $5,000 "early access" fee, which I'm willing to pay (see included pic below). Also knowing it's going directly to Tesla (instead of a dealer) makes it a little easier to swallow. In fairness, almost all new...

Not pure profit, but FSD is the main expense, and even though a lot of people ordered when it was $7k, I would argue most didn't. Also, FSD is almost all pure profit. The other stuff they're throwing in won't cost Tesla more than $1,000, $2,000 at the most. So I'd argue it IS mostly profit. But...

Ordered! I know from an accounting perspective they'll lose money due to costs being divided by such a small number of production, but I bet there will be a lot of people helping the cause by giving Tesla an extra $20k to cushion the loss! BTW, this was a reservation that was done within the...

That was AWESOME! Felt like the first Avengers movie: Tech plus British plus Car Reviewer. Wish it went longer...

You have to love GM. They know their costs are going up due to their labor agreement and the transition to EVs, plus the overall economy is slowing and their profits will be squeezed. So what do they do? They raise their dividend by 33% and do a $10 BILLION stock buyback. I sometimes think they...

I went from a 2017 Model S 100D to a 2023 Model S Plaid a few months ago (when FSD transfer was available). I am so happy! Unlike others, the car was perfect and I'm loving it. It's like the ultimate upgrade...familiar, but everything is new and upgraded! Hard to believe they're the same car...

If you look at the bottom notch and the top bolt, it looks like a changeable panel, which would be great! No need for an adapter, just get the appropriate plate/insert that has the right NEMA outlet (there are like 10 of them!) and you're all set.

@bkcyk, can you link to where you got your wheels, and the specs on them? Did you use the OEM tires and just swap out the rims, or did you go with a different size?

Had a 2017 Model S 100D and now have a Plaid with Yoke. As much as I loved my old Model S, the new one is soooo much better. When I drive our Model Y, I'm constantly reaching for the touchscreen for the shifter. Hopefully that'll be a software update to enable it on all Tesla's. Of all the big...

Agreed. Everyone is focusing on the Toyota part. The rest of the interview was great and worth a listen!

He was very knowledgeable and experienced! He was saying two things about Toyota: the market has deemed them as being able to survive the transition (market cap, only car company to increase in value around 5% per year - less the S&P 500 though, so he said not a long term asset to hold), and...

That's unbelievable! Almost every slide/argument is false, blatantly so sometimes (like EVs are more prone to catch fire!). CRAZY!!!!

Enjoy! It's hard to imagine going back to anything else after the Plaid...

I have HW3 in our MY with FSD Beta (was 11.4.4, and now it's 11.4.7.3). It has no problem backing out of our garage, over a small lip, and down our driveway. It's not the fastest, and it hesitates once in a while, but it gets either all the way out or almost all the way out (good enough to get...

Wow. I've been listening to these for the last 6+ years. That had to be the most down/depressing call ever!

I used "brakes" as a general term. My point was, they have been improved since I haven't had any issues that the seemed to have plagued the previous version. If it is just brake pads, then you'd think someone on here who could reproduce the issue would swap them out and report back...

The new updated brakes on the latest Plaid seem really good and I haven't had any "high brake temperature" issues after doing multiple max braking corners on my favorite twisty road. I have to remind myself every time I drive that only the acceleration is unworldly, the braking and corning are...

Where's my TL;DR @betstarship? Just kidding. Seriously though, can you post a screenshot of the Tesla/SpaceX slides?

Agreed, so a duopoly or tripoly then (ala iOS and Android, Verizon, AT&T, T Mobile).

I don't do standing starts very often, but I do accelerate briskly every drive I take. And...IT...NEVER...GETS...OLD! A 1/4 throttle is what the old Performance S's used to feel like. It's just awesome. And I hate to say it, but I'm not worried about the drive train. It's got an 8 year...

@Typhoon43, brand new a S Plaid is $90k, why are you trying to get a used one for that?

@Ray_R, just test drive them both. You'll quickly figure out which you want. The X is a tech tour de force, but it's a big difference in driving it vs. the S (even the regular LR versions). I wish they put some of the tech into the S (hello auto present and close front doors), but even without...

Track mode and set all power to the rear wheels only. Also, LOVE the max regen in track mode. Sad there's no way to have that all the time...

This marketplace listing has expired and has been removed.

Unimaginable just a few years ago.

Prediction: You'll never drive the BMW after a month of owning the Tesla. No matter how much you love a gas car, the Tesla just ruins it for ya. Also, didn't have any issues with paint or panel gaps.

You should be! It's awesome!

I had my new 2023 Plaid car PPF'd (whole car). I did it on my last Model S too, a 2017, and 6 years later, it still looked brand new! Also, with both being Black, the PPF makes the car look clean and shiny regardless of if was dirty or not. The PPF installer (who's been doing it for over 20...

Translation: Hello everyone, I will briefly introduce myself, I'm Robert, looking for a used MS, but I'm not entirely sure about costs for things like maintenance and repairs. In short, I am looking for an MS with a lease construction. status of the MS, usually 7 to 10 years old and between...

Thanks @bkcyk! I was wondering if the only caliper change was the color. Good to hear it wasn't. In regards to someone complaining about the costs of the pads, may I introduce you to Audi brakes. In their infinite wisdom, they made it so both pads AND rotors needed to be replaced on my Q7 (you...

In iOS, you can go into the app settings under the General Setting (gear icon) and turn off notifications for the Tesla App.

@Howie Dub, so pads AND the calipers are different on the new Plaids from the LR (and 2021-2022 Plaids)?

It's only been a month or two since I got a new Model S (from a 2017 100D), but so far, other than needing the front camera's calibrated/aligned, everything has been great. I feel like Teslas sometimes have teething problems (especially the low volume ones), but once you get through them, it's...
