Just had a good conversation with Jeff over at MountainPass Performance, after looking at the suspension options. Might very well be exactly what I am looking for. Will update as I consider it.

I will have to disagree that Tesla is milking their customers....the inflation is highest in 30 years and supply chain issues with skyrocket demand is pushing the prices...If anything Ford dealership is "milking" their customers by adding a markup up to 15k...i was considering a mach e but knowing that i would have to still buy through their dealership and stories of dealerships not knowing how to service a mach e kept me away...
I looked at Lexus the other week for the wife. The whole place was $10-15k above msrpA few weeks ago I was in a BMW dealership. Every car had a 10k markup over sticker. The world has gone mad.
What level of tint did you have applied.We tinted my wife MY yesterday including the windshield and I'll tell you, that made a LOT of difference - the windshield especially. The AC actually felt cooler at the regular temp we set it too which is good as it means we may not need to crank it down a lot and save more battery power.
FWIW, KBB values it at $1110.00 on a used car. Of course if someone saavy knows the value, you could likely get more, but if you go Carvana, CarMax you might even get less.So, just following up on my post yesterday. I talked to my SA over the phone and confirmed I can add FSD for 10K and this wouldn’t effect the price increase (extra 4K price increase for MY, since I ordered in August). I gave up on the option after that other thread with 4K mark up. Now I am thinking again how bad I want it for resale purpose!
They do the same thing in Wisconsin. I drive a lot for work. I figured out the break even point a while back (no longer recall what it was), but in “normal times” I’ll come out ahead with an EV - but likely the average driver would not.Fellow Georgia resident. Unfortunately, our state adds an additional $214 yearly licensing fee for all-electric vehicles. The fee is $320 if the vehicle is used commercially.
The fee goes towards road maintenance. It keeps the state from losing tax revenue since the road maintenance taxes are otherwise collected at the gas pump you will no longer use.
I was surprised at this but I agree that we should pay our fair share to maintain the public roads we use.
The only thing I don't agree with is that when you pay at the pump, you pay based on usage. The more you drive, the more you gas up, the more you pay in gas taxes. For the EV version, however, they just pulled a number (perhaps too high) out of the air and decided that would be about "right". It seems high to me.

Thanks for sharing! Unlikely will sell it anytime soon, but thinking about rumored price increase next year!FWIW, KBB values it at $1110.00 on a used car. Of course if someone saavy knows the value, you could likely get more, but if you go Carvana, CarMax you might even get less.
I would say the $1110 KBB eval is some estimator pulling out the number of their ass. True market value will be determined in a few months when there’s competition and the superiority of teslas FSD will begin to show. I’m not drinking or selling the FSD cool aid instead I truly think the market hasn’t caught up / matured to comprehend the value of FSD.FWIW, KBB values it at $1110.00 on a used car.

Wait - does the Y not have any cup holders in the center console?It looks like a good fit. I wouldn't call it super tight or anything, but more use would tell. My brother had complained that adding the cup holders. he couldn't put a coffee cup in, say a contigo one for example, since it became a tad bit smaller in space.
It does, but people but an additional insert to stick in the cup holdersWait - does the Y not have any cup holders in the center console?
In WA, they definitely use a third-party for registrations. I had an issue with the RTA fee because of a incorrectly reported MSRP and spoke w/ many Tesla employees at the Bellevue SC who all had to pass on the info to the "non customer-facing registration office" to help resolve.Since it's a new car, for most states the answer is yes, the dealer must register the car. Usually traditional dealers have a law firm on contract that processes them in bulk. I believe Tesla has their own employees do this task.
I read somewhere that auto-high beams are required to activate AP for vision-only but you could then manually shut off the auto-high beam w/o exiting AP. Still annoying to have to do every time, if that is in fact how it works, but maybe better than nothing.At night, however, we didn't use auto steer at all. It now requires the auto high beams and on the highway it was a mess. Flashing on and off, completely disregard for the cars up the road but definitely still within views of high beams, etc. I didn't want to be an PITA driver so we just didn't use auto steer. Auto high beams are going to need major adjustments on the highway especially, or being completely decoupled from auto steer at night, for me to use auto steer at night, unfortunately.
Before they started showing service history in the app, I was trying to dig up past invoices for my 2018 LR RWD since it has had many, many, issues and I wanted to admire all my hard work in hunting down fixes for this beta product (half-joking).And service? Forget it. They used to bend over backwards for us. Now we're faceless nobodies. The fact that no one can help me get my 7 year history is pissing me off big time.
According to my WA tabs renewal, annual EV taxes amount to $250 or $225 if you don't include vehicle weight:@dnstommy WA state also charges extra for EV registration, heavy weight registration, and even hybrids.
$43.25 basic registration fee
$45 vehicle weight fee
$150 EV fee
Grand total $238.25 per year, plus a bit more if you live in one of the specific cities and counties. They even created a helpful cartoon to show how much you need to fork over:
The bank doesn't take your online statements, which you always had access to, away out of the blue then tell you to "go to our new app" when that new app does't keep any records.At the bank, they will straight up charge you a fee to give you statements that go back that far. The reason is because it’s a complete PIA to pull that many records, and a ton of paper to print out that many statements.
I’m curious why they need 7 years of service history. Anytime I’ve sold my vehicles or traded in, nobody cared or even asked. And it wouldn’t have made a difference in the amount I sold for.
I agree it's a waste of time. But since they literally took away my own ability to take the time to retrieve it from where my records always lived (online), they have no choice. So yes, I'm mad.Not difficult. But not a sale. It’s a waste of time to have your bankers sit for an hour printing statements for someone who is just going to then leave once you hand them the documents. If a customer was being especially difficult I would refer them to the back office research team that 100% would charge fees for every single statement.
The bankers don’t have to charge a fee. But I wasn’t going to have them spend more than a few minutes researching documents.
Bankers are not there to do anything but sell to their customers and keep them happy enough so they come back to get more bank products/loans.
Was a branch manager for a couple years. Won’t ever go back to retail banking, it’s a terrible existence.
Bummer, mine shows my recurring monthly appointment at the service center:@PNWLeccy I got so excited I jumped right on and tried. No luck, unfortunately. It's showing zero documents anywhere under the agreements (open, closed, new, etc.)
It does have a cup holder, but you can add inserts, for whatever reason. Me: avoiding spills.Wait - does the Y not have any cup holders in the center console?
Just picked mine up today from Highland Park. Had mud-flaps but no rear ppfI have also heard that in some areas MY Comes with partial PPF and Mud Flaps, anyone around Chicago get either of these on their new car?
