    delivery fees in Florida

    Can anyone here that has taken delivery recently in Florida tell me the complete list of fees that Tesla charges at delivery? assuming no trade in so new tags not transferring.... I understand the county tax will affect it, but that's a very small variable.... I'm in a 5% county...so that's $25...

    Warning about accepting delivery

    the advice given in the original post, and all these countless posts about warranty work and bad QC, makes me think of the RV industry. It's widely known that build quality is quite low and QC non-existent across pretty much all RV makers. You kinda need to go into the PDI expecting to test...

    Whole house surge protector?

    I out a whole suite of protection form this company when we bought our house several years back Delta Lightning Arrestors arrestors, surge capacitor, hardwired telephone... I have no idea if they really work, but several years later so far so good...at least I sleep a bit better when the storms...

    Route planner

    Is a better route planner a good go-to? ...and what do you folks use for settings in a better route planner....for all the State of Charge variables? and do you find the settings for things such as speed and added weight are somewhat accurate and useful? I'm considering buying a model Y...

    Model Y Towing - Experiences Post here

    yeah...440 seems more reasonable for those gross numbers. all very encouraging to me! I figured the Y would handle towing better than the numbers would seem to indicate since it drives so stable and is rather heavy for its size. Did you by chance note much of a difference with full family...

    Model Y Towing - Experiences Post here

    the schnell, I'd be very interested to know your "as loaded for camping" weight, as well as the tongue weight...if you ever stop by a CAT scale (use the app so you don't have to go in to the weigh master) If you've never done it...let the app find the scale before you pull on, or enter the...

    Model Y Towing - Experiences Post here

    I sure would like to be able to ask that author some questions....or better yet see a nice video production of the experience! They did mention that handling and such were good...but how fast did they tow, dynamically how good is "good"? I wonder how much did the suspension end up...

    Model Y Towing - Experiences Post here

    yes, I reckon sway is more of a function of the trailer's weight and balance.... but weight of the car is a primary handling variable for sure. According to the numbers I've found the Audi has a higher curb weight than even the X....and even a wheelbase almost as long as the x Seems to me lots...

So looking just now for videos or info relating towing experiences with it..... found this report form Norge The very first test of three electric cars with caravans interesting test with an Audi, an X, and a Mercedes all towing...

    AM radio. On various two lane roads in Oregon, assign will read if lights flashing there’s a warning

    one of my hangups holding me back...Not a primary issue, but in my daily driver I listen to AM about ...oh maybe 98.5% of the time that I drive..... It's probably a majority of folks don't use AM radio, but still some of us do....

    Longer Term Repairs and Maintenance

    CV shafts? that's a concern I have about Teslas.... the last front wheel drive car I had was an acura. It was fine till they went out....high miles so not premature. I had lots of issues replacements. I had even gone OEM and spent more for them at the dealer. Later after a few replacements I...

    help me understand this "reservation" process

You will be able to complete your configuration as production nears in late 2021. Dual Motor AWD...

    Is load capacity too low?

    I started looking at the Audi etron. It seems to have a greater towing capacity and much more cushion in the GVWR for a larger cargo capacity than the model Y does.... but as best as I can tell...and I haven't so far found a full official spec sheet with all these numbers.... but it seems that...
