    How Early is too Early to get the Y

    Had a 3 reserved. Refunded to wait for Y. Haven't ordered yet while I save and pay off my wife's car. Will be replacing a 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis.

    Official Model Y Wheel Thread?

    Ok, as I said, there are probably more tech-savvy folks who could have done this better, but I uploaded a PDF of types of Model Y Wheels we've seen so far. I may not have gotten all of them so don't get all mad and Tesla-Righteous but with this document and its pictures, along with any articles...

    Official Model Y Wheel Thread?

    So, is there another thread on Model Y wheels? Obviously, from what we see on the ordering site, the standard Aero Wheels in 18 and the Model 3's 19 Sport Wheels are available now... but from all the spy shots of the Model Y, does anyone have any of the pictures and/or screenshots of the...

    'Tesla' on black factory license plate?

    So you inquired with Tesla itself? Cool. I'm also certain that there would be enough interest for Tesla or a private seller to make them. Although, maybe Tesla wouldn't want to make them to keep their exclusivity... sort of like DMC did.

    'Tesla' on black factory license plate?

    So, I have uploaded one of the promo pictures from the Model Y launch and I was wondering if any knew where we could get a hold of one of the 'Tesla' license plates like is on the back of this Model Y? Interestingly enough from my 13 years of DeLorean ownership (up until 2014), DMC also had a...

    2013 S 29k/63,794 miles Pitfalls and Possibilities?

    Well kinda... I absolutely believe that this Model S blows comparable cars of any kind out of the water, I guess I am looking more for some tips on pros and cons to an S of this era and a Buyer's Guide type check list of things to look out for, like demundus listed.

    2013 S 29k/63,794 miles Pitfalls and Possibilities?

    Used Tesla Model S For Sale - CarGurus So, I think a conventional, premium ICE car with a price like this would be really good if one was in the market for such a ride. Just over 10k a year is low mileage per year! What are the Pitfalls and Possibilities of buying a 2013 60D? I'm not really...

    Some Toughts: Ford Teaser Tweet & Model Y

    So this article was pretty entertaining... "Ford Teases Mustang-inspired Electric SUV as Model Y competitor" from Electrek... So then here's my reply I posted in the comments for the article. 1. I thought I shoukd have posted my ramblings on a more suitable platform so as to not overwhelm a...

    Model Y **Mid-Range?**

    Oh wow. I mist jabe missed that. That would be a good thing. Would make me feel a bit better buying a SRMY instead of a SRM3... since the mid range battery pack did get a few more miles.

    Model Y **Mid-Range?**

    Yep. And just like that, my post is irrelevant! Lol! Never a dull moment with Tesla!
  12. ShearModXY

    Model Y **Mid-Range?**

    Yeah, we can wait. the MRM3 is just the ticket but with my wife's car's payment we are waiting to save so we don't have 2 car payments, so either way I wasn't jumping on an M3 now anyway, but the price of the MRM3 was just the ticket! But now with the bigger MY, I will wait. Plus, I'd...

    Model Y **Mid-Range?**

    I mean, I can certainly see them adding a MR variant as the SMY gets closer to production, just to add another, more attainable option. IMHO.
  14. ShearModXY

    Model Y **Mid-Range?**

    So, the next painfully obvious question that was already answered last night at least *initially* is that there is no Mid-Range Y planned. I certainly believe, with the newly released SRM3 and the S+M3, they could definitely add in a Mid-Range MY and aim for a 42k or 43k middle of the road...

    Standard Range AWD?

    Love the breakdown and I completely get the math and how much different trim levels make sense when coupled with the tax credit however, if we can't make the monthly payments work at this point, it doesn't matter how much sense one option makes over another. That's why I am saving up but may not...

    Standard Range AWD?

    Yeah, 5 plus years ago power here was 13 cents kWh, three and a half years ago since I became an energy consultant, it has steadily fallen from 9-10 cents per kWh and now, in the first week of January the main provider set its prices just above 7 cent kWh... and my company is now UNDER 7 cents...

    Standard Range AWD?

    Definitely crucial for sure! And as for the Federal Tax Credit, that is a big deal and it was a big deal and even with divided government now, I wish they could agree to extend the tax credit HOWEVER, every car I ever purchased was bought without the help of any tax incentive, so either way, I...

    Standard Range AWD?

    Hey y'all, I also found the Standard Range M3 mentioned in an article from Futurecar.com on the same date as Teslarati posted their story on the topic as well. Base Trim of Tesla Model 3 Will Get a Dual Motor AWD Option - FutureCar.com I know they all use the same info from the main sources...

    Standard Range AWD?

    Yeah, I am not really set on having the AWD, I mean right now for the last 19 years I have successfully owned and piloted RWD cars, such as Crown Victorias, Grand Marquis and a 2012 Mustang... ALL of which have been equipped with Ford's Traction-Lok Limited Slip Differential (the only reason...

    Standard Range AWD?

    Excellent Dre87! Thanks for the link. Obviously I know what was said on Twitter *may* not actually happen but it'd be nice to at least have the AWD option. Now, for those of you trying to convince me about buying a larger battery... thanks but remember, the whole point of Elon's 'Master Plan'...

    Standard Range AWD?

    If there is a thread if this topic already in existence, please reply with a link but... So my wife and I have a reservation down and we want the SR Battery, black paint, 18 Aero Wheels and Premium Interior M3. Do most of you agree or has Elon mentioned that eventually a SR battery car could...

    The Boring Company Tunnel Event - December 18, 2018

    Not sure this is the best place for this question and I apologize if I missed a previous thread on this subject but do we know when the Boring Bricks will go on sale? I've miss out on the Flame Thrower and hats and some of these other quarky items and would love to try to get at least one. Thanks!

    35k SB Model 3, UBS Profit Study

    So all I can say is Holy Cow! Truly. I even thought 8% profit margin was decent but 18! Even if it's not 18 and it's something lower, something in the 10-15% range, I'd say they are going to be fine. So basically, all of the *actual* data, although still estimates, show or prove that even in...

    35k SB Model 3, UBS Profit Study

    Ok, I must have missed the Munro estimate of the 8% return on the base model. That's great to hear. I mean, it would take a Bear to believe Tesla would make a car at the 35k level knowing they can't make a profit on it as some level. And yeah, wouldn't surprise me if the Oil Forces are behind...

    35k SB Model 3, UBS Profit Study

    $35K Tesla Model 3 envisioned by Musk not profitable, UBS says OK, I'd prefer not to be brow beaten over this article or question but I'm going to post anyway. So, Elon says the high-dollar cars need to be produced first or Tesla would die. I understand that concept. I also understand that...

    Issues with Reservation Payment?

    And on my account there are no buttons to cancel one of the reservations, perhaps because it's not 'official' since I didn't pay yet... and over my 30 minute lunch i was holding for 10 minutes while they had extremely high call volume, so who knows... no one answers, it takes 48 hours for them...

    Issues with Reservation Payment?

    I tried reserving a Model 3 last night but it appears that both through their site and when I tried Paypal, that the payment was not accepted. I received emails from Telsa for the 'next steps' and to 'pay now' to make the reservation official... but it also gave me a reservation number... so I...

    Model 3 Production Resume?

    Thanks everyone. I am not swayed by the talk of quality and fit-and-finish, the cars being delivered now are better with all that sort of thing than the early cars and the I am aware that the $1,000 is refundable and that I can defer to a later date. I am not swayed by the long wait, as I've...

    Model Y: Tesla targets November 2019 for start of Model Y production

    I agree it seems highly unlikely as well. In all the YouTubers I have been watching I swear I heard E For Electric or Zac and Jesse say something about the cost initially but at this point, I'm not sure.

    Model 3 Production Resume?

    Thanks... right. I colleague of mine just reserved one about 3 weeks ago and her time table was obviously the 12-18 months (unless they bring on more humans and they can ramp even more and cut that time in half... that'd be cool and good for the company). So she's just waiting and until I throw...

    Model Y: Tesla targets November 2019 for start of Model Y production

    I definitely don't take Elon's timetables to heart. His comments are more of rough suggestions than drop-dead benchmarks. As for the Model Y, I'm definitely going to be reserving a Model 3 but the longer it goes on, I'm beginning to think of maybe holding out for a Model Y. If it's a tad...

    Model 3 Production Resume?

    Hi All! This is my first post. My wife and I are planning on putting a deposit on a Model 3 in early summer, so I'm getting pretty excited. Not sure if I should consider waiting for the Model Y to get a little bigger vehicle with room for our 3 kids, but either way it will come down to...
