    Tow hitch bike rack for model y

    For the Hollywood destination 4 bike rack, you can buy any right angle lock and it’ll work. I bought the curt (blue color) right angle lock and it fits. Got the Hollywood because it’s light (42 lbs) and pretty cheap (so are my bikes), not sure if I even need to buy that lock, haha

    Rivian increases prices.

    Auction the car? That's basically saying they're exactly like any dealers with the 'market adjustment' to MSRP, you know extra $10k for a ioniq and then hear the complaints and unfairness of people who've reserved xyz months ago and people ahead of them getting the car first (even if there's a...

    Rivian price increased massively - $15,500. Cancelled, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    No shortage of ambulance chasers in any industry Was looking at the rivan forums, found this: https://assets-global.website-files.com/5ec18264cf86972ffa7a1a2f/62268d5cd46fcbacdafcda3a_RivianComplaint.pdf Paragraphs 79 and 80, they're using rivian forums and reddit in the complaint, haha...

    Model Y LR vs. EV6

    friend has been trying to get one (forgot which specific trim), several dealers he called and got call back from wanted a $10k markup also, thats a big negative for me, hate trying to deal with dealers, nickel and diming and wasting my time (“let me talk to the manager”, do they really do that...

    Rivian price increased massively - $15,500. Cancelled, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    you think so? I dunno... I'm assuming that given the demographics of someone who'd afford and buy rivian could care less about selling their spot for $$$. They just want their $1k refund back and not deal with the mess. It's more of the principal of the matter. It's like someone who drives a...

    Rivian price increased massively - $15,500. Cancelled, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    I'd assume so. But I'm sure there's a group of folks who'll cancel and never come back, damage has been done for them even with the price adjustment

    I'm just glad that there are others coming to the scene and lighting the fire under everyone. Imagine if no R1T, F150 lighting, Hummer EV, Chevy, Ram, Tundra... CT would be a 2049 vehicle... Trucks are such a big market, there's no way that any of them aren't moving fast, I'm sure there are...

    Unconfirmed: analyst claims there will be a smaller Cybertruck model

    well, ford lightning also did announce theirs will "start" at $39k... the 3 did sell for $35k during a short period of time but i agree, i don't see a $39k CT even if they cheap out and strip a whole bunch of stuff

    CyberTruck Image Leaked

    If that sand bag is a Tesla branded one, it’ll show up on the store and will be sold out in minutes :) I’m hoping they’re still in process of having the back side able to fold down all the way, pass thru with the interior

    Model Y - Gigafactory Texas Production

    yeah, it's been mentioned before, there could be a scenario where austin/4680 may have a different designation and configuration (on announcement, it may have longer range, more power, etc, so it justifies a newer config), so current reservation holders who held on a lower price wouldn't qualify...

    Southern CA Edison rates make it not worth charging at home

    Be careful when looking at the numbers, because depending on your usage and generation, TOU 4-9 may be better... TOU 4-9 has a $0.38 daily charge (daily basic and daily minimum, wtf right?), baseline credit of $0.08/kWh up to baseline allocation and then look at the peak/off peak rates, summer...

    Enron I agree, they were caught up with corporate greed later on Theranos, not sure about that, vision that they had even possible? If she had more time? Wouldn’t others have pursued and continued if plausible? From little that I read, sure feels fraudulent from the get go Fsd, I can...

    Lol! That's a pretty funny statement :) Enron was bs accounting/fraud Theranos, well, she's just plain cuckoo and a fraud FSD, Musk does have visions of grandeur, offering it to folks many years ago albeit for a lower cost back then, but at least we can see the progress and where it's heading...

    ^yep, look at the threads on this forum, not even towing, but range loss with bikes on a bike rack. pretty sure we'll see more clickbait articles on CT when it comes out and then a lot of crap journalism on what terrible range loss when it comes to towing... Hence there's a tri motor for CT and...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    Depends. Have you been in California? Tons of tech folks in the Bay Area can buy 12 mpg urus, but the area is probably Tesla’s #1 sales region. And that’s another thing, complaining about service and build quality, sure, but alot don’t convert away too. A lot of well to do folks value time...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    Is the bill really about giving tax break for high earners, I thought the idea behind it was to combat climate change? Tons of high earners def can buy what they want when they want, but that also includes Y vs ICE whatever, and alot are on the fence, worry about range anxiety, charging...

    what if the person is on the fence... regardless of how much one makes, if there's an ev incentive that can sway a person buying an ev instead of a nice ICE, wouldn't that be the point?

    Model Y P vs Rivian R1S

    Can’t really compare the Y to R1s in general, totally different class. I saw one on the road yesterday, without camouflage either, boxy and large, like Yukon size, it can absolutely fit and haul tons of stuff, way more than the y or even the x. Driving it will probably take some time getting...

    It’s not bad. Pricing doesn’t look too bad, I mean Tesla probably looked at it, did a quick huddle and increase the model Y price again. Haha

    Model Y P vs Rivian R1S

    some things would be an easy fix and they should be able to accommodate, let's say you want upgraded rims, roof racks, or whatever physical options, can do that paperwork after the purchase to keep it under $80k. Not sure how they're going to handle if it's an upgraded color, lol
  31. 2

    Model Y P vs Rivian R1S

    Absolutely, that changes things, the r1s isn't as compelling. R1s would be a better value if the other one passes ($80k) for suv, or nothing gets passed (current rivian would qualify for 7.5k tax credit)
  32. 2

    Model Y P vs Rivian R1S

    As others mentioned, I don’t think they’re comparable. Size, battery, exterior and I’m sure interior will be vastly different as well. Like rav4 vs sequoia, can’t compare battery efficiency just like we don’t compare mpg for those 2

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    or... tesla raise the price by 7500 kinda like what happened with the initial model 3 (higher price to reflect tax credit, lower the price after credits went away)
  34. 2

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    There are costs associated with it, R&D and people costs. The OTA updates doesn’t just happen, there are significant changes and will continue so. As far as margins, who knows, but the point is that FSD isn’t something that cost Tesla nothing.

    2021 EV Tax Credit

    Why would you think they'll lose a ton of 2021 deliveries? There's a huge backlog and alot of people who need a car now will jump the queue on those who deferred. I'm not convinced that tesla will lose out on q4, unless i start to see inventory cars build up on their site. Pre covid, there...

    Road Trip from Los Angeles to Monterey....

    Did that drive couple years back, took 101 since 1 was shut down past san simeon/hearst castle, easy breezy. No issues with the chargers (did not go during holiday weekend), on the way back, took 101 back to 5 via some other backroad (to check out the kettleman supercharger), don't remember...

    Will you defer your deliver to wait for the EV tax cred?

    People will still buy if they need a car. Other car makers are also have supply chain issues, and wait time as well. Used to be laughable when you buy normal ICE cars at msrp, now some of them will be considered a deal with low inventories and dealer markups. Crazy times.

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    so reading between the lines, businesses can use sec 179, depreciate all up front, and when it comes time to sell some time/period later, *wink *wink, sell at salvage value or some minimal value 'on paper' (taxable income portion on b/s), when in reality transaction is in cash and a higher amount?!?

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    Nice, it’s like max discount given the current market. (Maybe max would be when it first dropped to 48k, ordered existing inventory to get the vin, applied to cvrp before the funds were exhausted). Cvrp was around 2k instead of the current 1.5k?

    Best interest rate via Tesla financing?

    Yes, their rates aren’t good. But back then they did rate match just like Tesla. It’s also an unsecured loan. So let’s say, if they rate matched DCU’s 1.49% or whatever, you can take that loan amount and find an interest accruing account, money market, cd’s, etc and make the effective loan...

    Best interest rate via Tesla financing?

    Curious as well. Haven’t really heard much from them unlike when the 3 came out. Unsecured rate match loan they did back then was great.

    Model Y order - my VIN just got stolen [Update: Original car had defects so Tesla wouldn't deliver it]

    Sounds like when you ordered, it's pretty much the same price as in now (not like folks who bought earlier at the lower price). If that's the case, check tesla's site frequently and look at existing inventory, alot comes and goes, and you may luck out and get one sooner than later
