Are most of you "supporting" Tesla in these tough times and ordering the m3p at current full msrp minus fed rebate ? Or are there people like me waiting for the next big gut punching price cut/in inventory deep discounts

Well. You worried about the tire when you should be worried about the rim size. For Chicago you will need 18" rims to really enjoy the ride. Lots of cool 18" rims out there. Get tires of your choice when get new rims.

Matter of time before Highland starts using 4680 cells that qualify for the full $7.5k fed credit. Definitely before year end. Thank you Cybertruck for turning into a massive dumpster fire.

Tweak the design a bit & you should have a hit product. Right now, with the garden hose setup most of us have we need to do a balancing act since the cord drops down if the heavy connector goes too far down while wrapping around the cord holder hook. We need something like the J or U hooks we...

2 predictions. 1) Elon does surprise Highland open for orders announcement alongside Cybertruck in this month end Austin event. 2) Highland starts taking orders after Cybertruck dust settles. Spring 2024. You have 7.5k for 2023 + 3.75k for 2024 federal cash + your state EV rebates to play with...

If the trade in value of iphone 14 is really good and you could get an phone 15 for little extra money would you not get the iphone 15 ? Same story here except the M3 depreciates like a rock. Most reviews so far have said the ride is more comfortable, refined, compliant etc. Is it more fun to...

Guessing all sourcing will remain the same. After reduced point of sale tax rebate they will just mark down in inventory cars further. The other possibility is that Cybertruck will be a big flop due to price being nowhere near $40k and then all those 4680 cells from Texas can be used to build...

M3 RWD , 18" wheels 8.5 wide. Considering OEM is 40mm offset how much can you stick out to be safe as far as suspension stress, handling impact is concerned ? Most after market wheels have 35mm offset which is fine but some I like are like 32 mm or less hence asking wheel junkies here. Thanks

I thought in CA joint filers can make upto $200k to claim poor status. Hence you can easily get both the state and fed rebate

what is the name of this wheel color ?

thanks for Avid tip. Never would have found. I only found the tire rack Enkei one's. I am guessing the pricey Gram light are direct fit right ? (no hub centric rings/adapter). Any reps you know that are direct fit to avoid any potential vibration issues. We have normal OEM creaks and rattles to...

Are there any cheap replicas or similar looking wheels like the TE37 ? Need for looks not racing. Thanks

Yes. Giving my case as example. Got RWD last year when it was $48k and did not qualify for $7.5k rebate (ouch) Took IL state rebate of $4k . Now down to $44k Gut wrenching $8k or so price cut by Elon. Now $4k in the hole not counting depreciation. Traded in this year and got same car. (Put 20k...

RWD is projected to be at $35k or lower come December. (in inventory). With the fed rebate that is $27.5k. Assuming you get $15k to $20k for your trade that is like getting a new M3 for $10k with all the RWD goodness, handling and LFP long term durability that NCA cannot hold a candle to. Plus...
