    Is hope in sight for our USS-less cars?

    The great thing is, I couldn't care less what you are buying. Life is too short for you to spend your energy in here defending the indefensible. Have a great day.

    Is hope in sight for our USS-less cars?

    Wrong, wrong, and wrong. I owned a Model S and MY and have already stated as such in past posts. Just because you don't like my opinions doesn't mean you get to label me as a troll who has no experience with Tesla. But that is what blind fanboys in this forum do. Also - I've been on here...

    Is hope in sight for our USS-less cars?

    Twitter is beyond profitable and successful? Tesla is facing incredible pressure from reduced margins, price wars (they started) and competition. His other companies are private so we don't know how profitable they are. How about sticking to the facts in your rebuttals. Tim Cook is a GOD in...

    Tesla Service Going Downhill

    I owned a Model S well before you ever started posting on this forum. It was the best car I have ever owned and it was when Tesla was still treating their customers with respect and service was exceptional. My mistake was thinking that would still be the case when I purchased a MY - but sadly...

    Tesla Service Going Downhill

    I'm extremely confused. Who is attacking who? I have simply voiced my personal gripes about how I love Tesla the vehicle, but have had ubiquitously poor service experiences that don't seem to be a priority for Tesla, the company to address. Isn't that, in part, what a forum is? I'm sorry if...

    Tesla Service Going Downhill

    Finally, we can agree on something. Nobody said anything about cupping anyone's balls. Basic respect and politeness. Please search for "Tesla Service" in this forum and see what you find. You act as if I am the only person to ever mention how abhorrent service can be.

    Tesla Service Going Downhill

    Am I missing something, or are you actually making my point for me. First off, there are far more EVs on the road that will now have access to the SC network than the Chevy Bolt - that was just my favorite example. Across all OEMs, close to 1M. Tesla is delivering 500K per quarter and SC...

    Please point exactly to my "angry speech." Everything I said was factual based on experience.

    Tesla Service Going Downhill

    I'm not sure what is confusing about what I posted. I said that Tesla currently has healthy demand so they have no incentive to change until competition catches up - and it will - because Tesla opened up one of its most precious assets - the Supercharger network. Reading comprehension much...

    Tesla Service Going Downhill

    This is the frustration with Tesla ownership. The vehicle, when it is working as intended, is fantastic. The moment you have an issue, the *sugar* hits the fan and it becomes a nearly universally miserable experience all the way around. It doesn't have to be this way. If Tesla raised rates for...

    Tesla Service Going Downhill

    Stealerships are the absolute worst, but at least there is a facade of customer service. I feel like the CEO values matter more for Tesla than any other brand given how visible and larger than life Elon is. Look at the way he treats people generally - especially the poor bastards at Twitter...

    Fun Fact - everyone else thinks Tesla is a luxury brand. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a42938734/tesla-best-selling-luxury-brand-2022/

    Terrible Tesla Service

    Oh, really? Is that why my Tesla stock is down in the dumps and margins are shrinking? Keep drinking the Muskaid my friend. If you think Tesla is in the same situation they were in even 5 years ago I've got some Tesla Solar Roofs to sell you. Oops....

    Tesla Service Going Downhill

    I strongly disagree. They didn't start out selling M3 and MY's they started out selling Roadsters and MX and MS for north of $80K. Is RIvian a luxury brand with their trucks that are $90K+? Will they not be a luxury brand when they start selling their version of the M3 and MY the R2? I really...

    Terrible Tesla Service

    You know, if it was 2011, then I agree with you - you can't go back to the ICE ages. But it's 2023 and all of a sudden, there is intense competition in the EV space. Tesla isn't the only viable option on the table anymore and they just gave away their ace in the hole by opening up their...

    Tesla Service Centers Need to Fix Bent Rims

    The sooner you free yourself from the notion that Tesla service centers actually provide service, the better you will be.

    Tesla Service Going Downhill

    Why would you compare Tesla to Ford or GM??? Tesla is a luxury brand. Go to BMW, Mercedes, Infinity, Acura - or any other luxury brand and you will absolutely get a loaner, be treated with respect, and generally not be dealing with some smug, indifferent millennial more interested in their...

    Is hope in sight for our USS-less cars?

    Well said. The cagematch stuff is so stupid, childish, and a huge distraction from everything that he needs to be more focused on. Being a good CEO is incredibly demanding and requires enormous amounts of commitment. When I think of a quintessential CEO model, I think of Tim Cook who took the...

    2023 Model Y no USS discussion, incl. Discussion of Tesla Vision Firmware

    That's because way back when, cars came with ACTUAL bumpers so when you over/underestimated distances you had a bailout.

    Is hope in sight for our USS-less cars?

    Honestly - and I say this with love, but Tesla needs to push Elon Musk out. He's got way too much on his plate, has been making *sugar* poor decisions left and right, and if Tesla wants to survive and compete, they have to change their philosophy. Stripping USS and Radar has to be the dumbest...

    Tesla Model Y Delivery experience

    Great write-up. I am coming from a BMW i3s on stock 20's which is made of carbon fiber, flies off the line like a bat out of hell (fastest production BMW including the i8) but the suspension is stiff as hell. Like every tiny bump. So I'm interested to see how the MYP feels. A lot of peoples...

    Is hope in sight for our USS-less cars?

    This is my third time considering purchasing a Tesla in so many years. Previously, I literally was at the inspection phase and walked away because the vehicle had outrageous and functional panel issues (alignments so bad door wouldn't close) and paint defects galore and I was told "no...

    New Vehicle Odometer

    Lots of things to get irritated with regarding Tesla customer service, fit, and finish but 15 miles isn't one of them. Now, if it were 50 miles - then I'd be wondering WTF was going on. Check under the seats for any wrappers because maybe somebody was making Wendy's runs...

    Sales Advisor (SA) questions/ SA etiquette

    Reach out to them and politely ask whether they would like to provide you at least the same level of service for purchasing a $200 TV at Best Buy considering you are spending $50+K on a car. Tesla needs to up their game on customer service or they will be eaten alive when the legacy...

    Model Y Long Range Rear Wheel Drive (LR RWD)

    Blissdancer - there is an EV alternative to the Model Y - it's called the Ford Mach e and by all reports it is a compelling and well built crossover that actually gets EPA estimated 270-300 miles of range depending on whether you have AWD or RWD trim level. The issue with the Mach e and every...

    How are quality issues with Model Y currently

    Thanks, InternetDude. I'm not on Twitter - but if anyone here is and wants to link to this post, please feel free to do so. Only way Tesla will get better is if they know what needs to be improved.

    How are quality issues with Model Y currently

    Satyagra: your $60K was, I'm sure, very hard earned. While I empathize at some level at the plight that Tesla delivery people are in (it isn't their fault these issues are on the vehicle) how they handle the situation matters a lot. For example, at no point was there even the slightest bit...

    How are quality issues with Model Y currently

    Refused delivery of a Model in Owings-Mills Maryland this past weekend. VIN was in range 106xxx. My observations: The process leading up to the delivery was marred by poor communication. After placing an order for an in stock MY SR, my SA sent me an introductory email then never responded to...
