Then don't lease one. Frankly if I were in that situation, I'd rather be driving a new Tesla. The only other "affordable" option is a used Tesla. As I've said here before, we have a Mitsubishi dealer here that typically keeps ~19 Teslas, mostly 3's, lease returns, on the lot. When Tesla dropped their prices, this dealer was forced to reduce their prices by around $12K, so now 2019 M3SR+'s are priced at between $29,998 and $33,998, mostly based on mileage. As far as I can tell, none of them have EAP or FSD.
Those that cried saying Elon owes them $ should now say that those who already bought owe Elon $.
A lot of what you're seeing on painted panels is probably orange peel. A mirror finish can be achieved without too much difficulty on cold rolled SS. The mill finish SS that Tesla has been using in the prototypes is likely 2B. They may use a 2R mill finish for production. I'm sure quite a few owners will get their Cybertrucks mechanically polished to a mirror finish.Getting these panels ‘flat’ will be a miracle. Waviness appears in regular steel and aluminum panels in all cars of all makes. I saw a Maserati once that you could surf on the body panels. Certain colors like black can accentuate waviness just as other colors like white can hide it.
Stainless steel body panels without waviness -Time consuming, expensive and VERY, VERY difficult. I’m interested in seeing how well Tesla is able to manage it.
When will the price increase lawsuit start?
Exactly. If you're not well off, buy a cheap serviceable used car with by the pound and pay yourself what the lease would have cost you, and after a couple go-arounds, you'll have saved yourself enough money to buy a new car outright.
Actually I've driven used cars all my life. My current rigs are a 2003 Mercedes Benz E320 and a 2006 Chrysler Town & Country. Only vehicle I've ever bought new was a 1993 Explorer, mainly because my former spouse waa able to take advantage of a Ford employee discount (passed down from her Dad). The Explorer served us well, but so have most of my used rigs, so no worries my friend!I'm in the camp of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" and keeping cars for a long time is my preference. Both of my current vehicles are eight years old, and were purchased used when someone sold each of them after two years of ownership.
I concede how someone who prefers changing more often will do it that way. (though the multi-lease option will include multi-down-payments as well)
We'll both be happy with our choices and the symbiotic relationship.
2 weeks...When will the price increase lawsuit start?
SEC does not sue nor investigate CEO's with British accents. It is clearly stated in the SEC 'rulebook' on page 69, line 420.
Doesn't apply to Commonwealth accents though. That's in the appendices.SEC does not sue nor investigate CEO's with British accents. It is clearly stated in the SEC 'rulebook' on page 69, line 420.
Since we're talking about the infamous tweet, bear in mind that 420 is not split adjusted!SEC does not sue nor investigate CEO's with British accents. It is clearly stated in the SEC 'rulebook' on page 69, line 420.
I bought my first shares at $345 right before the tweet. I was sad that I wouldn’t be able to stay invested in tesla, but it was clear to me that it wasn’t a done deal yet, so I held on. Still holding. These guys are obviously smarter than I.
So PIF missed out a 6x increase which could have priced their own oil out of business.
