    How do you value a used Model Y in current market conditions?

    But back to the question at hand. How much would you pay for a 2022, 8K miles, long range AWD, 19" Gemini Wheels, black interior, no FSD, no AP.?

    How do you value a used Model Y in current market conditions?

    Right. What I'm saying is the IRS site doesn't mention the $300K number except in the context of the married filing jointly. I'm saying the non-IRS website is quoting the IRS website incorrectly.

    How do you value a used Model Y in current market conditions?

    That article seems to mistate what it says on the IRS website: Credits for New Clean Vehicles Purchased in 2023 or After | Internal Revenue Service According to irs.gov: In addition, your modified adjusted gross income (AGI) may not exceed: $300,000 for married couples filing jointly...

    How do you value a used Model Y in current market conditions?

    Noted and understood. Shouldn't be a problem.

    How do you value a used Model Y in current market conditions?

    I suppose I could sort of qualify for the tax incentive by having my sister on the title with me and she takes the tax credit since her income level qualifies. Then she could gift me $7500 and that is below the gift tax limit.

    How do you value a used Model Y in current market conditions?

    Sorry, my message was embarrassingly unclear. What I meant by base config was an LR AWD, with no upgraded paint, AP/FSD, or any other additional cost items.

    How do you value a used Model Y in current market conditions?

    What's the best way to come up with a fair value for a used Model Y? I see some low mileage, 2022s, 8k-15k miles. For our purposes, let's just consider base config. As a buyer, what would be a good price? Carvana is offering $33,161 for a white, 2022 with 8K miles. This is in CA. A brand new...

    Key Card and NFC from phone not working, car not connecting to network. Locked out.

    **UPDATE** It was indeed the 12v battery. Excellent remote diagnostics by the community! By the time I got home, some of the windows dropped in various positions. I was able to open a door. It took a few tries, but I was able to do the two thumbwheel reset. After rebooting, various 12v...

    Key Card and NFC from phone not working, car not connecting to network. Locked out.

    2018 Long Range, AWD Model 3. My wife's key card and phone as NFC key is not allowing her to open the car. The mirrors are out indicating it is unlocked, but she can't open the doors. From the app, it is showing the car as seen over 11 hours ago with the refresh indicator just spinning. It's...

    Temporary, non-destructive, $8 fix for back up camera issue (~2 hours work)

    Sorry, BlueGhost, looks like I missed some follow up questions on this thread. I don't know why I didn't get the notifications for subsequent responses. I got them for some of the responses. Anyone, feel free to ping me with a direct message to check this thread if you ask a question and I...

    Temporary, non-destructive, $8 fix for back up camera issue (~2 hours work)

    No need for any compensation. Just glad it's helpful to somebody. Take your time. All the work is in getting those panels off. The gaffers tape works better than the blue painters tape, but it still comes off eventually. I think the heat in the truck along with the bumpy surface of that...

    Temporary, non-destructive, $8 fix for back up camera issue (~2 hours work)

    Hey BMacK, thanks for taking the time to post a response so I know at least I helped someone. Yeah, there's a lot of info there. From a high level, the steps are just removing the trunk cover panel, the rear deck panel, and replacing the cable. I should also mention that anytime you remove...

    Stopgap Fix for Rear Camera Cable Recall?

    Thanks, Timbo. Yeah, my cable has the yellow stripe. And regardless, no matter how much uncrimping, unscrunching of that rubber tube and hard resets, I wasn't able to get my rear video feed back. I'm guessing internally, the coax cable has separated beyond even a momentary connection.

    Stopgap Fix for Rear Camera Cable Recall?

    Temporary, non-destructive, $8 fix for back up camera issue (~2 hours work)

    Hey everyone, here is my write up on a temp fix for the back up camera if you think it’s because of the coaxial cable losing connection due to crimping of the cable from opening and closing the trunk as opposed to just a SW bug. This fix is completely reversible when the time comes for Tesla to...

    2014 P85 for sale, Still has some Warranty

    I'm a real shopper. But I also see what others have paid for their cars in my area and use that to calibrate what I'm willing to pay. There are some deals that do pop up occasionally in this forum and that's why I'm on here. The ads that get the most bashing are the ones that are far out of...

    2014 P85 for sale, Still has some Warranty

    I would say a bit high. My neighbor bought a 2014, pre-AP P85 with under 40K miles for $37K from a dealer. That was a no-haggle price. Since it was dealer, you know there was some decent mark-up in there. It was in great condition. They loved it so much, they went back a week later and...

    Performance Mode on 2019 Dual Motor, Long Range Model 3

    So does anybody with a M3 Dual Motor not have B as the 8th character of their VIN? Mine is B. I believe only the S and X have induction motors, so I would think only an S or X can have a 2 as the 8th character in the VIN. Model 3s have reluctance motors.

    "Both pedals pressed" warning - but I wasn't

    Mos_jeff, yes, I had my accelerator pedal replaced. See post #23. Only detail I have is they were able to review my logs and see this warning was happening frequently and they replaced the accelerator pedal assembly. Best thing I can suggest is get a video of it happening, just like in my...

    16.2 Near Collision w/ Auto Lane Change

    Difference here is the AP created a situation where he had to suddenly respond, where as if AP was not engaged, he/she would have just completed the lane change on not have to slam on brakes. What if AP swerved back in at a later time where it was too late for him to react and brake?

    "Both pedals pressed" warning - but I wasn't

    Update on this, I brought it in to the service center. It took them a while, but they were able to reproduce the issue, and my logs were showing that it happened many times. But without the video evidence, you/they probably would have to assume that I really was just accidentally hitting both...

    2017 S 75D (EAP 2.0) - San Francisco

    Buy Model 3 with intent to trade for Model Y - is this crazy?

    I was in a similar situation. After buying a Prius 13 years ago, I swore that every car after would have to be a hatchback. The utility is just so amazing. We bought a Volt 4 years go which of course is a hatchback. When the 3 came out, it was a deal breaker because of the lack of a hatch...

    Rear end beaks loose more easily on latest SW update?

    Regardless of cold or warm tires, the SW corrects the vehicle dynamics to prevent the rear end from kicking out. It almost feels like they have relaxed that control a bit.

    Rear end beaks loose more easily on latest SW update?

    I just got SW version 2018.50.6 a couple of days ago. In my dual motor M3, I was rounding a corner onto a freeway on ramp and floored it. I would say I was entering the corner at about 12MPH. The rear-end kicked loose and there was a lot more wheel spin than before from what I think were the...

    Took delivery of M3 yesterday, should I take back the car to SC for this..?

    I have some items that see minor as well. But I just sent them all to my DA and I'll see what they say. It's an expensive car and I think it should come out as near perfect. That being said, I have only ever bought brand new Toyotas before so I'm not sure what to expect from luxury brands.

    Back up camera guide lines shifted to the right of reality

    How do I change album permissions? I don't see anywhere to do that under the album. How do I edit my original post? I don't see an edit button option anymore. Does it disappear after a while? I do see an edit option for this post right here - this is the second edit that i'm typing right now.

    How long does it take to get signed Purchase Order?

    I didn't get mine until the day before my delivery date. I had to email my OA. Then send my MVPA to my credit union which was on the other side of the country so they could fedex me a check. I ended up pushing back delivery by a day, but in the end, the delivery center let me take delivery of...

    Just ordered my M3 - How do I setup the 3rd party loan?

    My owner adviser said it would be no problem to switch it to deliver at the hub. I just need to figure out who my delivery specialist is. Will that show up on my account closer to delivery time? As of now, I'm scheduled for 11/21. You being in LA, I would think that would be no problem.

    Ordered Nov 2, LR AWD, Deliver Jan 2019!?

    Mine says the same thing. I'm also in CA. My order date was 11/6. I had filled everything out online, but didn't notice I needed to scroll to the bottom to click submit. Does my process start when I placed my deposit and ordered, or when I fill out everything and click submit?
