    Unlimited Free Supercharging Carried to New Tesla Offer

    This. It’s still tempting and I’d do it if Musk resigned.

    Tesla offers to transfer lifetime free supercharging to new vehicle

    The psychology of this can work both ways. On the one hand, if I am buying a $62k car, surely $9.99 is nothing, right? On the other hand, I got it bundled with my prior Model 3 and if it's "nothing" then Tesla can bundle it again. The other thing is it's just yet another subscription to add to...

    Tesla offers to transfer lifetime free supercharging to new vehicle

    I also got the email, had FUSC on my P3D since purchase in 2018, it just recently turned 5. I'm considering a MYP, I'd love a hitch as I've occasionally wanted to use a trailer for carrying large items. Losing premium connectivity is a bummer, and I also have FSD and don't want to buy it again...

    Unlimited Free Supercharging Carried to New Tesla Offer

    Fair enough, none of those came up when searching or after I typed the title... feel free to delete this.

    Unlimited Free Supercharging Carried to New Tesla Offer

    Did anyone else get an email about this? I bought my Model 3 in mid 2018 when this offer was available on Performance Model 3's so I've had unlimited free supercharging ever since. I just got an email saying if I buy a new Model 3, Y, X or S before the end of the year, my FUSC will carry to the...

    What do you think of the Tesla lawsuit regarding EPA mileage?

    I can too in day to day summer driving (pretty much May - October in NY) and that's with a Performance Model 3 on 19" OEM wheels, and I don't use chill, I just have a gentle foot and don't race people...road trips and highway is different though - but when you're SC hopping it's not really about...

    What do you think of the Tesla lawsuit regarding EPA mileage?

    Generally speaking, I think any lawsuit that goes after unrealistic marketing is probably a good thing, but what I am not clear on is to what extent Tesla is complicit in the EPA range being unrealistic for most people‘s driving styles and conditions. Tesla definitely does worse than many (if...

    MICHELIN CROSSCLIMATE 2 Real life experience

    I’ve actually just ordered these, found this old thread. Anything I should know? I live in NYS so all-seasons were a must. I am coming off Continental Pro Contact RX, which I thought were pretty good in terms of grip but a bit dissapointing noise-wise and tread-wear wise. I have a 2018 P3D with...

    Tire Recommendations for Model 3 Performance / 19" Aftermarket Wheels

    Haha, yes I thought so - noise? They've lasted well in North East weather, but very loud. Thanks, I'll look at recommendations.

    Tire Recommendations for Model 3 Performance / 19" Aftermarket Wheels

    I'm very close to needing a full new set. At the moment I'm sporting 235/40R-19 CONTINENTAL PROCONTACT RX. I am seeing these for sale for both $225 and $255 on Discount Tire/Tire Rack (where I got them before) although there are even more options (91V, 96W, 104W and gawd knows what else.)...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Fair, in Nov 2021. I bailed at $327 in 2022 but bought at $15 in 2018 (between $205 and $235 then). It paid off two mortgages, so I'm pretty happy about that. I'd have felt almost criminal telling people to buy or even hold at the point I sold, you can always buy back in later.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Joking aside, there were plenty of posts before the last split when the stock was around $1100 saying "you should get in now before it hits $4000". At least no one is going on about the cars being appreciating assets anymore... for now...

    Unable to play music in Apple music

    I am still on 44.30.5 but am not signed up for aggressive updates so I guess they're still working out the kinks. According to the fleet tracker, 2023.2.10 seems to be rolling out right now to a lot of cars, so hopefully this fixes these issues. I've haven't been able to use Apple Music since...

    There will be NO HW4 upgrade for HW3 owners

    Great post. You're right about the 2019 era, but beyond that Musk definitely did claim that full non-intervention autonomy was possible with all cars being sold. I'm sure lawyers will figure it out, but I am really not sure how they can walk back the claims, or at least so heavily implied there...

    I didn't have this issue with 2022.44.25.5 either, it started after I received 2022.44.30.5 Here is exactly how it manifests.

    Just sold my Model Y - Parting thoughts

    Does it matter? Tesla is looking more and more like the Apple of cars, meaning some things will simply be objectively worse but it won't matter because the package as a whole will be better for enough people, and the margins will be high enough that Tesla will be highly profitable precisely...

    Just sold my Model Y - Parting thoughts

    I have no idea whether people really use it to make the decision, but they sure as sugar use it to justify the decision after the fact, especially in public forums. I know rationally that my $75k purchase in 2018 replacing a paid-off Golf GTI that got around 28 MPG on Average can't possibly be...

    Went for a drive, something wrong with predicted range

    It's predicting the range based upon the last 15 miles. If you want to know how far you'd get based on road conditions and normal driving, punch in a destination about 170 miles away and look at the "trip" chart. I've found this to be quite reliable, although it does tend to be a little...

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    The warranty assures 70% over 8 years, so in theory it could drop up to 30% in any time period and not be a warranty issue. You'd think there would be some reasoning in there, but when you consider our education system judges ability by offering a definitively correct answer out of a possible 4...

    FSD Beta Experience - Be Careful What You Wish For

    No, it’d my experience but it’s really quite simple; the car will activate high beams when there are no vehicles directly in front (that’s good) but will often do it when there is oncoming traffic (not so good). I have a long NY to New Orleans road trip coming up towards the end of the month...

    FSD Beta Experience - Be Careful What You Wish For

    Yes high beams (main beam is what we call it in the UK… I can’t hide my British roots it seems). It did not do this on AP, and in fact still doesn’t if you disable FSD. It’s perhaps an additional requirements for the visual-only AP, so it may do this on all recent cars. My 2018 P3D only started...

    FSD Beta Experience - Be Careful What You Wish For

    Aside from the fact it constantly puts the main beams on even when traffic is coming in the other direction. AP never did that before FSD beta.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    War rages in Europe, Oil over $100, but S&P up / Dow up and TSLA down. If you ever needed any indication that there is zero correlation between the markets and reality, today is a beautiful anecdote.

    Just sold my Model Y - Parting thoughts

    Thanks for the tip. I passed inspection but the shop told me the pads were at less than 5% of their original. Additionally I found out that independent shops (in the US at least) cannot order Tesla brake pads (this is for the Performance Model). I honestly don't know if that's true, but I have...

    Just sold my Model Y - Parting thoughts

    Agreed and I am not arguing against EV's. My point is the margins are (much) smaller than claimed on website at purchase. BTW, as an anecdote, my first service cost me $600 (more than I spent on my GTI for the prior 5 years) and the one I am having tomorrow to replace those brakes that "never...

    FSD Beta Experience - Be Careful What You Wish For

    I do agree with most of what you said after this point, but not this point. You're not contractually obligated to use it at any level of frequency, and there's a lot of gatekeeping implied here (I think that's your intention). I only use it when driving alone, or for short bursts for example...

    Just sold my Model Y - Parting thoughts

    Not to be a pedant, but this isn't true either. The underlying reason for the fraud was higher MPG. With diesel engines (apologies if you already know this) a cleaner burn results in lower MPG. Anyone who owned a VW TDi will tell you that when the emissions were lowered back to acceptable levels...

    Just sold my Model Y - Parting thoughts

    Don't worry, I still have my sense of humor and of course we shall see what it's like, but an EV Camper Trip is what I've waited my whole life for! Old hippy is about right. On VAG Vs Tesla... well if you'd owned my 2018 P3D with all the delights of CV_FRONT errors, 12v failures, charging plug...

    Just sold my Model Y - Parting thoughts

    Interesting post - I wish you'd have told us what your next vehicle is going to be, and why. I am almost certainly going to get the ID Buzz (or possibly an ID4 if the Buzz only comes as a people carrier) and will sell the my Model 3 Performance within the next year.

    My Tesla S P85d nightmare. I don't think I ever want another tesla ever again and want to get rid of this junk asap

    ^ this My first service for my 2018 Model 3 Performance cost me $680 which is more than I spent on all services for my previous 2 cars (both Volkswagens) combined. Most of that was a break fluid flush. I won't go into how much money I spent replacing those 20" OEM tires it came with, or that I...

    How do you listen to music in your Tesla?

    Yes it has gone quiet. I don't know what the sticking point is (could be that Tesla signed a deal with another provider that deliberately excludes Apple) but I think that's short-sighted given Apple has (according to yesterday's earnings call) 785 million subscribers to its services globally...

    How do you listen to music in your Tesla?

    I selected Bluetooth because like you I'm on Apple Music, although I do use TuneIn to listen to radio stations (especially BBC radio station, as I'm from the UK originally). I did try out Spotify, but I've been with Apple iTunes/Apple Music since 2002 (I still have iTunes Match believe it or...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    What do you think of that as an investment? Perhaps they should have spent that money on TSLA instead. $80k in TSLA stock in 2015 would be, well more than enough to buy a fleet of Plaids with FSD to serve a small town. It was bad advice then and still is now. And when it was pointed out in...

    Post Elon Update Poll on FSD

    Should I dig up my posts from 2018 and 2019 (heavily down-voted I might add) where I said FSD Level 3 would not arrive in those years, let alone level 4 many people were arguing for! :) In all seriousness, FSD will continue to improve incrementally for the next decade or so. Level 4 is quite a...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    FSD is very real and widely recognized. Full scale driverless Robotaxis (which has been "next year" narrative since 2014) is definitely seen as fantasia - it's important not to conflate the two. The reality is, on Robotaxis, it doesn't matter. I don't think anyone is buying a Tesla today with...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    No was was expecting this - the "industry consensus" on this (if you remotely care what Wall St thinks anyway) is 10m/yr by FY30. It's fair to say that's conservative, but Tesla may very well simply leave the lower end of the market to the likes of Skoda, Chrysler, Hyundai etc. If and when they...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Or, and I'm just spitballing here, that was already baked into the $1trn+ price. Most, if not all downward pressure right now, is macro. Plus TSLA is slowly moving from speculative to growth/value. Nothing will happen on earnings day that will make people think "OMG, $1200 was a bargain". But...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?
