https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-limited-apr-model-y/ Just FYI to the naysayers.

Yea, you're not getting a massive discount on inventory unless it's a beat up demo with a lot of miles and at least a year old.

Even if this passes in the senate, Newsom will never sign it. The only bill that is law now is the one that allows the CPUC to tax us without any limits at all. The only real limit will be what the CPUC and IOUs think they can get away with before enough voters have had enough and either have...

So is this on top of the existing $10 minimum billable? If not, then it's a $15 difference for a total of $25. If yes, then they'll be getting $35 / month from us that we can't get out of.

I'm afraid to try it so close to elrp season and not being enrolled in either.

I got a good laugh out of this one.

Unless you can be sure the car hasn't been through an auction, third party dealer, or Tesla itself, the FUSC, if shown, could vanish at any time up to even a year later (since Tesla has been very slow sometimes to strip lifetime benefits). If you are buying it from the original owner or a...

If the front right measured 37 off the car and on the balancer, then that alone will cause the issue.

I second the suggestion that for those that have the center horn (i.e. 2024+) that the pulling the left stalk back activates the brights. I have all the tools you could ever imagine so I'm not worried about the installation workflow. Hopefully the clearance on the cover is a glitch or...

Even in those cases their bill won't go down.

It's a shell game. They will immediately propose rate increases as they have been but at slightly larger increments so they're back to where they would have been PLUS a $25 fixed charge. That fixed charge will double low income apartment dwellers bill.

Right. We know it doesn't happen on the '21s.

2K miles so far. Perhaps it's because I've never accelerated more than lightly on anything higher than the lowest suspension setting. In fact, I won't accelerate more than moderately without having suspension setting visible just to make sure. Today, while driving around Santa Cruz for hours, I...

I would notice. I'm severely allergic to NVH.

First drive after sitting for more than a day. Doesn't matter when that is morning, afternoon, or evening. Lasts about a minute. You can feel it in the accelerator pedal (some say brake pedal too). Not felt in the steering wheel at all. When it stops, it's an abrupt stop like something turned off.

Wait, your brand new is vibrating on acceleration? Not just the cold start grind vibration that occurs for the first minute or so? Am I lucky that I haven't had a hint of anything like this in my 2 month old MSP?

No depreciation. The buyback offer will have been full price plus accessory cost and registration fees.

Laying off the supercharger team seems like the last human resources they should have laid off. Having opened up the network to other manufacturers, they should be accelerating deployment and expansion. Dumbest decision I've seen in years or it's a sign of far more serious internal issues that...

I bought a factory key off of ebay still sealed in the bag for $82.

The rumor couldn't have been stronger. Supposed reliable sources with inside contacts all verifying RGB and camera absolutely coming. Result is supposed reliable source's reputations completely shattered. That one screen shot with an employee saying they're just working through the last of the...

BTW, if you include me in the give away, I'll do an installation and review video and post it within 2 days of receiving it. I don't have a lot of subscribers, but the last short I posted on youtube got over 6600 hits in just a few days:

This looks awesome and the installation looks very straight forward. How do I get it ???? I have a 2024 MSP with round wheel (new center horn button). Couple of questions. Any concern that Tesla might disable this in the future by securing third party adons that talk through the canbus? i.e...

You'd think with dramatically reduced values in the last year back to even before pre-pandemic that they'd lower rates back down because they're average payout per vehicle (highest ones being total losses) are so much lower than before. But each insurer charges as much as they can get away with...

It matters to me ;)

Both of those prices are well below what it costs Tesla to make the LR and Plaid. But I agree with you sort of. I think they should both be $0. Tesla is crazy not to just give them away for free ;)

They're not quite the same. A dealer markup has a temporary expectation. Dealer markups typically occur on new models where demand is temporarily higher. The demand usually falls and the markups are eliminated. Because of this, those looking for slightly used examples will still lookup the MSRP...

You got them to agree to a buyback after only 16 days in service? I didn't even start until 105 days out for service over more than 10 visits. On top of that, on the very first visit, the repainted my liftgate and bumper, badly, and had no explanation and up to the point of the buyback never...

That's because Tesla sells direct and doesn't negotiate pricing. There's no middle man to hide transparency on pricing like you have with the dealer model. On the back end, Tesla also moves 10x faster than everyone else making many changes within a model year and constantly changing suppliers...

Yup. My MXP was $118K in early January 2022. The new base price just 2 months later was $138K and stayed that way for almost a year. I was long into pursuing a buyback before the price started dropping again. Thank goodness the repurchase was based on what I paid and not the new $110K price...

I could believe it with the 1 foot subtracted, but not without. I don't think you're P90DL went faster than this:

For tesla that seems like an impossibility high offer. I'd take that without delay.

I agree they COULD but don't think for second that they will.

That would make it faster than the P90DL.

I don't think they're going to do this for any already sold cars and my guess is that any real power upgrades will have some hardware upgrades even if minor. My guess is they'll introduce Plaid Plus with the track pack factory installed (no option to not have it unless you want the regular...

And this vibration is not the one in the title of this thread.

Yup. The only caveat is if Toolbox prevents you from entering a value that is too far above some expected range as a sanity check.

It can't. The only way to lower the car without lowering links is to do a ride height calibration with Toolbox 3 and LIE about height of the 4 measurement reference points. So if you want to lower the car by an inch, you have to add an inch to the measured height of each reference location.

I have 3 powerwalls. Seems like per kwh, this is a better deal than it was before. I'm used to charging to 100% and turning everything off so that I can discharge them entirely over the 3 or 4 hour events. The year before, the payout was $538. Last year was only $305 with fewer events for the...

Can someone translate this into some likely payout examples?

Especially in places like the Bay Area where $300K is barely middle class.

My lifetime average so for on my MSP is 270 wh/mile, but that includes all the short in town trips where I'm lead footing it and two ski trips to the mountains. Averaging more like 250 on longish drives (was 255 when it was a little colder). As it warms up more, I expect it to go closer to 245...

The issue fixed by lowering the car is the same issue that has resulted in endless cv/half shaft replacements for the last 10 years. I went through 3 sets of replacements myself on my P85D until I lowered the car an inch. I should say "re-lowered", because that inch lowering was just returning...

Wait, has Tesla confirmed performance numbers for the M3P?

That's what I use but also with a hockey puck on the lift so that I have no chance of touching the batter when lifting from the Tesla's lift pad.

You had to place your order before January 16th.

That's one way to curb your behavior :p

And it's easier to see out of your peripheral vision so that you don't have to ready tiny text on a screen.

They had it years ago. V8 displayed album art in in a grid and then they regressed 20 years in UI design and killed it. USB music used to display in beautiful smooth scrolling grids of album art and you could search, even by voice, and USB results would show up in the search results with the...

That's very impressive for 21s.

And how did you do the config update?
