So, I ordered the MYLR last March. Delivery was supposed to be August. in July, it got delayed till Jan-March 2023 so being impatient I switched to MYP and got delivery in 2 weeks. Do I wish I would have waited now? Sure, but I would say the same thing if I bought a house and the market drops...

Don’t get me wrong, with my MYP, I show people the acceleration on sport mode but I do it on roads with no cars, def not on US1 in the middle of the day in one of the most busiest areas of town. The left turn the van was making was on a blind turn where a lot of times it’s hard to see cars...

So yesterday (10/18/22) in Stuart Florida, an 18 year old was driving a Tesla sedan (not sure if it was a Y or 3, but def a performance model). Based on the news, He was speeding and ran into a minivan. as a result, the Tesla flipped over and The batteries caught fire. Both occupants of the...

When they introduced the model 3, I had my finger on the reserve button on reveal night but last minute didn’t do it. I then thought of taking the 30k and buying the stock. Unfortunately, I chickened out of that too and only bought a tiny fraction of that. At least the tiny fraction is now as...

I just found out something I thought I would share with those in the know and those unaware of this potential problem. My wife got me some aftermarket shadow lights for the doors. They project the Tesla logo and text on the ground when you open up the doors. All you have to do is replace...

My point wasn’t the savings in gas personally. My point was that as gas prices go up, demand for EVs increases and therefore, the price at which you could sell the car also stays high. i haven’t really looked the going prices in my area up lately but with MYLR having such a long wait time, the...

Is used Tesla demand weakening? Wait till gas goes back up to $5/gallon. Also, if this is a MYLR, there is a huge wait time, seems like your almost there. Worst case scenario would be to take delivery and if you aren’t happy, sell it and make some money.

sounds about right, that’s 83% of 80 (66.4 kWh). /200 and your looking at 332 whr/mile. Def expected when going 90. When on the highway, with my MYP, I tend to keep it at 75 and draft (not too close) when I can find a semi going 75+, it keeps my average around 280-290whr/m. Also, I have the...

I totally agree. Ironically back around 2008 when EVs were starting to come our (such as the “bolt” which was originally supposed to be all electric), they were talking about 100 mile range, my thoughts even back then was that the magic number is 300 miles. Now that seems to be the ”standard”...

your forgetting the main reason I chose Tesla over the mustang or any other EV. They (Tesla) build their cars from the bottom up as an EV. Many of these other companies are taking their existing designs to fit whats needed to make it an ev. The battery technology of Tesla and how they do it...

I’m on month 3 of MYP ownership and I will say I’m impressed with the actual ride compared to many bad reviews. I was also Leary because I switched from MYLR to P because of delivery timeframe. Having said that, on normal flat roads here in Florida, the ride is quite nice. Yes a little...

So just to clarify my comment. When I say the “perfect all around suv”, I really mean like you would call a banana the perfect food. It’s not necessarily the best food but in its simplicity, and execution, it delivers most of what’s important without too much complexity.

I’m actually hoping that is the game plan. Keep the price normal while you continue to make production super efficient and then lower it and control the market. on a similar but different note, I was complaining that the superchargers were too expensive until someone told me that all SC...

You can’t do it yourself. When you get it, it will be wrapped with police like tape saying “removing tape will invalidate warranty “. You will need to then request an install using your app and they will make an appointment (might take several weeks for the appointment time). When they get...

So here I am on month 3 of my MYP. Many things I wasn’t sure about I am now very used to and in some cases prefer (such as no braking). I am an engineer and I find myself constantly looking around the vehicle and seeing how it’s just simple, built efficiently, fun to drive, and literally...
