    Other makes charging on a Tesla supercharger

    Elon’s announcement that Tesla will make their supercharger network available to other EVs, in my opinion, substantially devalues our Teslas. The huge differentiating advantage Tesla has is it’s charging network and that is the whole reason I never looked a Mustang Mach E. The last thing...

    Installing Amazon Echo Auto in Model Y.

    I have purchased an Echo Auto and it works with my phone, however, I can’t get Alexa to go through my car’s speakers. There is no manual hookup available and the Bluetooth doesn’t seem to take a device in addition to my phone. I get the Exho voice only on my phone speakers. Does anyone...

    Acceleration Boost option for Model Y available?

    I wonder if there is any test data on the change (if any) on the range of the MY if the driving pattern is exactly the same after the upgrade as before? I would like to quantify this before making the decision to upgrade. If it costs me 25+ miles of range, it may not be worth it?

    Does anyone know whether this $2,000 performance upgrade affect the range of the vehicle? Is it available cheaper through a 3rd party as some people did for the Model 3 upgrade? Did anyone have an experience with this with a Model 3?

    Will Tesla match Carvana on trade-In?

    My offer from Tesla was “diddley squat” and insulting. I sold my 2017 Lexus NX 300H for $4,300 more than their offer.

    Model Y picked up in Tampa, nearly perfect!

    After reading about all the Model Y issues for the past few months, I went to pick up my car on Wednesday, July 29th with quite a bit of skepticism and caution. I even brought an experienced paint and body expert with me. After going over the vehicle in detail for over an hour plus moving it...

    Problem with home wall charger

    I purchased a home wall charger for my Model Y and, unfortunately, the WIFI function on it would not work and, after an hour plus of trouble shooting, the electricians who installed the unit had to leave. Tesla sent me a replacement charger. The problem is, since it was not their fault, the...

    Quality of new MY's - is it better now?

    You guys who have paint issues should demand that they NOT patch paint, with 2 stage clear coat, you have to panel paint.
  15. SarasotaGuy

    Terrible Tesla Service, what would you do???

    When it comes to paint issues, I understand sometimes they try to correct by patch painting. With 2 stage paint and clear coat, that is unsatisfactory, you have to panel paint and we should all desmans that!

    New Model Y Price Reduction

    I am wondering whether there is a way to get the price reduction on my open Y order without having to pay the extra $1,000 for FSD?

    Model Y Price reduction of $3000!!!!

    Looks like if you get the $3k lower price by revising your order, that will trigger the FSD going up from $7k to $8k...? I would consider removing that option and buying it later (since it is the same price with or without vehicle) and possibly save the car sales tax...? Software purchased...

    Price drop

    Now that there is no advantage for ordering Full Self Driving with the car, when they give us the new price decrease and jack up FSD to $8,000, I wonder if it may be better to NOT get it with the car but order the unlock or software download later and possibly save the vehicle sales tax...

    AWD Non-Performance White Interior Waiting Room

    I didn’t lose $100 because when I ordered, it was $2,500 refundable. In terms of what I am paying, the price is the same because I lost out on the $5000 FSD deal months ago when I made a change in my order.

    Lowball Trade-in Offer from Tesla

    From all these comments, I think it is clear that Tesla’s car buyers are out to make a profit on those of us who trade. In the long run, I don’t think that alienating customers in this way will be a good business practice; they shouldn’t feel entitled to make money on ‘both ends.”

    Tesla trade-in offer

    Ordered first day last year; made change in order 19 days ago. Received an embarrassing offer of $3000 below Carmax offer made on 5/28 for luxury SUV. Then I got them to match Carmax for 30 days. Unfortunately, when their current offer most likely expires, after 30 days, I expect them to “low...

    Tesla trade-in offer

    They quit matching Carmax offers on 6/1. My experience was that their trade-in offer was very low, even given the current COVID 19 environment. They bid almost 20% below the lowest wholesale trade in value.
