Well it's the government, so...

The whole first page goes back about a week. This forum has been around for years. Lots of good info on many topics. Scrolling the first page isn't the same as using the search function. I know this topic has been discussed as nauseum because I even wrote a lengthy post with lots of pro tips...

This has been covered extensively vzw lots of good information. I would recommend using the search function to get your answer instantly.

So you don't own a P100D nor are you interested in buying one and are madly in love with the new Model 3. We get it. Why are you in this thread again?

So your idea of value in a thread about inexpensive P100D's is the all-new entry-level Model 3 that's not only far more expensive than the car in question on this thread but will also lose half of it's value over the next 3 years and is 50% slower from 0-60. Got it. You sure you don't own a...

Your statement comes off as a Model 3 fanboi, especially when you start comparing a brand new Model 3 Performance in a conversation about used Model S's and why the P100D specifically is so affordable. The Model S P100D was the $150k+ flagship that showcased ALL of an innovative car...

What kind of a car do you drive again?

Free market is exactly the reason why. Ford only got in the EV game to compete with Tesla. They originally laughed at them and now they're a direct competitor. Don't kid yourself, this is the only reason Ford even bothered getting into the BEV game. If Tesla ceases to exist (again, purely...

Really? 304 miles is now "much lower" now? Less than 2% variance is reason to create a thread and get up in arms over? You know that's an estimate, right? Just enjoy your vehicle and searching for reasons to play the victim.

...or Steve-O. Time will tell.

That's a bargain compared to what you likely would have paid to have it removed by a professional tint shop and the next owner gets windows professionally tinted already.. win win!

$350? That's not much more than they'd be charged for removal in the LA area. If it were me, I'd roll the dice as the odds (despite the two anecdotal posts of unquestionable validity you cited) are in their favor that it'll be a non-issue at the time of turn-in. That said, I don't lease vehicles...

It's not an easy process, no. Installers don't like doing it either so it shows in the removal price. I doubt you'll need to remove it for lease return.

Hence the word "if" because it doesn't require you to believe they will to agree with the statement. The _only_ reason Ford (and other established manufacturers) even build BEVs is Tesla's recent market share trends. If the disruption ceases to exist they'd no longer have a motivation to hedge...

There's zero chance Ford continues making BEVs if Tesla ceases to exist tomorrow.

Pricing on stuff like this where you are isn't all that different from the Front Range of Colorado. If anything, you have more competition which helps to keep the prices relatively reasonable. It's trickier in areas that have less competition, even if the cost of living/real estate prices are...

Varies from location to location, area by area and is also dependent on what film is used. It can vary quite a bit depending on the combination of those metrics but probably $150-$200 or so would be ballpark. 17% give or take a couple percent will match the fronts to the rears and fall within...

That's not the point. You're rolling the dice that you won't get one. When it happens (and it will) the first thing the IRS agent will tell you is that nothing your attorneys or CPA did or told you matters. They'll ask you questions directly and, based on your limited posts here, you're not...

How many audits have you had?

It's crazy how those who understand tax law the least are always quickest to offers opinions on the best way to waste time commiting tax fraud for what ends up being next to no financial gain anyway.

This is fine. The cap for tax credit is the MSRP number, as equipped. It doesn't factor in delivery or order fees.

The best all season tire for these cars driving year round in our area isn't on your list: Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06+ Do some searches here and you find lots of good info. Don't trust the online tire reviews. I found them to be wholly inaccurate to reality, especially in the Colorado...

FUSC stands for Free Unlimited SuperCharging so... No.

Dat 1-star-rating doe. Also, might want to disclose that this is a referral link.

tldr; I'm looking for this style cup holder but in something larger than 3" diameter: I'm growing increasingly frustrated with these Chinese offerings that all state they're over 3" in diameter but then you get them and they're less than 3" ID. The tumblers were use are right about 3"...

Pre-2021.5 Model X.

Where did I say I'm smarter than everyone else?

Sure thing! Want to provide your address so that I can ship my keyboard to you so you can type it up for me too? /sarcasm

If I trusted it 100% it would get me in an accident, based on my first-hand experience. It's not a trust issue. It's still not good enough to be pushing out to everyone on a trial basis. I don't think you fully understand what "Chill" mode does and does not do.

NoCo as well here. I had a similar experience and created a detailed account here: This Latest Attempt to Force FSD Upon Everyone is Hurting the FSD Cause More Than Helping

Right on queue. But I shouldn't have to do any of this. Funny enough, the things you recommended I should to are actually what I did upon taking delivery of our new car... almost exactly as described. Accidentally, mind you. I genuinely don't know the answer to this. I know our firmware...

What you describe is basically what we did. Hell, we've even paid our next 6-months premium in advance even though it doesn't expire until the 10th. The issue is that I can get a current card even with the VIN but not a future card because that policy hasn't yet started. It doesn't yet exist...

So we're talking 100 if we literally count every single motor (critical or not) and not hundredS. Big difference and that was my original point. The post in question said: "there are hundreds of moving parts in the interior to break" which simply isn't true and even if it were, very few are...

It's bad IMO. Rather than vomit our experience in this thread, I created a new one for anyone who wants to read the details of our experience along with a highly opinionated conclusion and high-level state-of-FSD type conclusion: This Latest Attempt to Force FSD Upon Everyone is Hurting the...

Warning: long detailed post ahead so get comfy if you choose to read it. I broke it up a little bit for those who want to read certain aspects. ► Overview: This may be an unpopular opinion in this pro-Tesla community with many members to whom Tesla can do no wrong. I know that Tesla wants to...

Just a quick update on our experience: We took delivery of our new 2024 Model Y LR in Stealth Gray on White Saturday. Our process wasn't quite as smooth as others, part of that was on us and part was on Tesla. The Tesla issue is an easily addressable one, if they actually cared. Something...

My original point that paying a mechanic to check out a used Tesla is the easiest money he or she ever made. How much stuff needs to be checked out on a vehicle that doesn't even have an official maintenance schedule?

So we're going to cite Tesla's self-proclaimed "Fabergé egg" of complexity (Elon's own words) which also happens to be their lowest selling unit by far for our basis during a conversation about complexity? Seems a belt self-serving, don't ya think? Especially when the OP was specifically about...

2017 didn't have PaaK.

Hundreds? In a Tesla? No way. Even if that statement were accurate, you think a mechanic is taking door cards off to check a window regulator or switch?

Pay a mechanic to do... What? Check the wiper blades? These cars have nothing a mechanic would fix/replace other than brakes & suspension components. The brakes last 5-10x longer too. This is why you'll likely never see an EV parked at an auto parts store. This is a big reason why the...

Is your experience with Base Autopilot, EAP or FSD?

It's a model that's worked really well for them thus far.

This is a continuing theme with Tesla to remove working technology in favor of future technology that doesn't yet work at the expense of the owners user experience. It's super frustrating and one of the largest reasons for most of Tesla's customer complaints. If they would simply perfect a new...

This story was back in February. There was already an update that included a change to the auto wiper functionality. Most claim it was a step backwards, not forwards.

No. Definitely no. You probably did long term damage to your vision that will (at minimum) accelerate your vision as you age. Folks, those dorky cardboard glasses* are like a dollar. Sometimes free. Don't risk your vision by looking for even a second at an eclipse as the impact to your vision...

The free interior or exterior upgrade color for instance. For us, we wanted a white interior so it chopped another $1k off of that price for a total of $6k off of the MSRP before any federal/state incentives. If you're getting black interior (and have no desire for white) and a free exterior...

I was busy completely rebuilding my home network yesterday so long post incoming to catch up. Apologies in advance. Actually, most people who are focused on building their net worth don't buy new vehicles since that's the single biggest impact on a person's net worth, regardless of...

This is pretty much it. I just try to be a good ambassador and, for me anyway, I'm genuinely not trying to save the earth. I just do what is best for me and mine and if others see that as an example of what's better for others... great. I also happen to believe it's better for the environment...

Enlightening people who are ignorant to EVs for environmental reasons, especially in this region, simply won't work. I think it's important to understand your audience and then select items from the long list of positive reasons you bought. This will cause them to want to further investigate on...
