LOL. Unfair.

Telsa stock price will keep dropping. There is an overall drop in demand just like the housing market due to high interest rates and inflation hitting the economy and a pull back from high priced durable goods ie: Teslas. And the recession has not even hit full stride yet...

Not as of yesterday. IT will likely take a while as they assess damage.

Looks like the service center is a severely damaged once all's said and done, but showroom side did not suffer as much external damage. But I don't know what the heat created from the metal structure can do to whatever is inside the building.

For those of you who are already aware of the horrific fire in Boulder Co, I've heard of reports that the Tesla dealership in superior has been engulfed in flames by the fast moving fire. I'm 10 miles from there and have seen the hotel next to the dealership burn on television, so there's a...

Just hope your wife doesn't open a teslamotorsclub account or you'll be pushing your own handle for a while.

Not worth it. At $400-$600 /hr. Between the back and forth with the insurance company you're looking at $5-$6k minimum in lawyer fees for what? I have fought and gotten about 10% in diminished value but you have to keep fighting them.

Difference between driving a Ferrari (a car that commands your attention) and mother Molly driving 3 kids to the soccer game all distracted, is that noone likes fiddling with their iPhone (since Tesla has no CarPlay), starbucks drink and screaming kids while looking for randomly placed...

Worst than that dangerous steering wheel is the replacement of the turn indicator stalk with those funny buttons on the steering wheel. Tell me this is just a Beta version.

Model Y is more low rent than a Model X. They are in different classes. Its like comparing an X7 to an X3.

They are catering to the Chinese market which tends to be a lot more in your face when it comes to displaying wealth.

I agree. The rear center console is pretty useless since you can't use it as an arm rest and just makes getting to the back seats that much more tedious for the kids .I removed it and patched a do it yourself fix.

The other MAJOR complaint I had with my Model X was a lack of proper elbow rest position for your right arm. Its rest is just too far back and your had ends up dangling around, or forced to rest on your lap. Which also means the cup holders are way too far back. For those who like to...

I'm moving on from my MX as well. The battery technology just isn't there yet for family travel. Once the kids get over all the "cool games" on the infotainment, 1 hour waits at the supercharger stations is impractical. Not to mention, desperately looking for superchargers when you're on...

I have a 2017 P100D. It have been relatively trouble free. The MCU is quite slow and the suspension is something out of 2005 and LOUD, but the car has been very reliable once some issues got sorted out like the falcon doors.

Sounds about right. To put it in perspective, the glass roof on the Mclaren 720s door costs $7100 to replace.

I've had the same issue with my '17. I had it fixed once by Tesla before but the noise came back from both front axles about 6 months later. This news may be noteworthy. Tesla under NHTSA Investigation after Model S and X Recall in China

I actually find my '17 has fantastically comfortable seats. I guess it depends on the individual.

Who knows when the new model x will be out. Hopefully it's not just a refresh, or they will continue to lose luxury market share, there needs to be a complete overhaul of the platform. I for one will not get another tesla after my lease runs out this month which is unfortunate because I...

Thank you sir. It will arrive in January, right after my Tesla lease ends but this is basically the car. Probably the biggest thing I'll miss with the Tesla is the self presenting doors. But I can't wait to hear that V8 growl again.

My Model X lease is up next month. I wasn't terribly impressed with the fit and finish/ clunky falcon doors, constant freezing screens and the inability to travel distances with kids with my P100D. I too was extremely impressed with the Audi quality and features as well. My choice was the new...

Tesla service. Perhaps I'm talking to the wrong department?

I'm having the same problems with my wall charger, Tesla service did a remote log check and is advising I contact an electrician. Seems like they may not be aware of these issues .

There's rumors that Tesla servers have been hacked.

We also have a new Ford Raptor in our garage which we take for long road trips (our Model X is not a good long road trip car when with kids), and the back seats are also very flat. The kids complain all the time about how they are uncomfortable and prefer the MX for that reason alone even though...

If you stay within the rules of the IRS, by all means use all the deductions available. However, often times these deductions DO cause audits, which exposes your business expenses to further scrutiny It's all about the set IRS algorithms which catch deductions which are out of the normal range...

The reason why may CPAs don't recommend using this line item is because it draws a huge red flag from the IRS. Most people prefer to stay on the safe side and fly under the radar.

Yup. It took two new sets of sensors to do the trick. Teslas do not do very well in the desert heat. Issues include inadequate A/C when over 110 degrees, and inoperative autopilot.

P100D owner here 2017 model with very few issues. Falcon wings doors had issues opening in the hot midday sun which took two tries to fix, but that's about it. It has been solid otherwise.

Just curious what you love about traveling long distances in a Tesla?

What's the difference in acceleration like from a stop between the two cars?

I agree, but have you tried traveling in a Tesla on a long weekend on a well traveled route? What the supercharger maps don't tell you is the long wait times and unorganized lines just to get a spot once you're there, and of course ramping down the charging as you approach 80% all while hauling...

My biggest concern would be that you're buying a brand new model in its inaugural year. Personally I wouldn't buy neither car in their first year of production. Now by 2021 you would hope that much of the issues the model Y had have been ironed out. I suspect that there will be the usual stealer...

Adding aftermarket seats and increasing the passenger count on a car which is certified to hold x number of passengers is a sure way of voiding your insurance coverage liability in an accident. Even adding seat belt extenders will void insurance liability.

I'll be giving my X up in a few months probably for the Y. Things I'll miss.. 1. Ludicrous acceleration. 2. self presenting doors (once you have it you know what I'm talking about) 3. front screen (I've had a Prius years ago and unless you have HUD it sucks to look down and to the right for...

That's exactly what I'm referring too. Typically here's what happens when you have multiple children: The first two will jump into the middle row with all their gear, backpacks, toys, etc to avoid getting the third row seating designation, next the third child comes and now has to convince the...

Love your garage, you must have impeccable taste..:)

I would disagree about the seating arrangement. The 6 seater is much more utilitarian for us when compared to the 7 seat version. Access to the third row is a simple walk in between the second row seats rather than having to shove the entire second row forward to reach the back in the 7 seat...

Posts like this are funny. It's a depreciating asset, of course they will drop at some point. I don't any significant price drops at least for six months. Most used car dealers carry their inventory on super low interest rates, and since most are closed, there is no motivation to adjust...

Try explaining that to your insurance company if there ever is an accident.

"Hi, Happy to assist- Tesla accepts any tire brand as long as the tread is 4/32" or better and the speed rating is Z or better. Hope this clarifies things!" This came from Tesla lease department.

thank you for the info. so I don't need to replace them with the Pirelli Scorpions that came with the car correct?

Does Tesla require the tires to be exactly what came from the factory when returning a leased car? It came with all season Pirelli Zero Scorpions which are getting worn out.

It's not just the drive to the destination that you have to take in account. I agree with everything you said. But driving on a busy long weekend with kids is a different story. The supercharger line ups can get ridiculous, and moderating who came first and whose next is left up to whomever is...

It does feel like a dinosaur, but it has sooo much room, even with 5 people in our family there is plenty of space in the second row to stretch your legs. We will never drive the X across state anymore. I'm not sold on this supercharger network as a practical way of traveling with kids with the...

My wife got a 2020 Raptor, while i'm still soldiering on with the MX as the DD. The Raptor is an awesome car and has quickly taken over as the choice family long hauler.

I have a Model X P100D and averaging 450Wh/mi. No reason to try to achieve EPA rating.

Thanks for pointing that out. Lease is still outside of the last 12 month period.

If anyone is interested, here is the link to the market place listing. Car is amazing but I need some more garage space. 12 months left, $1402 plus tax a month with about 12000 mile left on the lease. Highly optioned car. LEASE TAKEOVER, Model X P100

The MSRP on these cars was pretty insane.
