Note that I speak as someone who bought a very expensive Tesla a few years back and despite public statements that "such and such will never be offered as a product", that alternative was indeed offered very soon after my purchase and then the price slowly slid down until I could have bought a...

Price gouging is commonly defined as What emergency or disaster forced people to purchase a Model S or X over the past few months? Even if you include "climate change" as an answer, the point is to buy some EV, not specifically a Model S or Model X. There are so many reasonable alternatives -...

For all other auto manufacturers there is no guaranteed price. There is a piece of fiction that the manufacturer advertises for national audiences and then there is the price you pay for the product. The two are only loosely related. With no change in either national or local advertising 2...

As far as keys. I hate the fob specifically because it is style over function. It is way too easy to hit the buttons because they are not recessed at all or protected by a frame. I put a frame on mine which helped only a little but at some point it started hitting the buttons on its own so I...

The posts crossed in the asynchronous reading order as I came across the thread late. Apologies for posting before finishing the thread. In other sources I had been looking at recently, those mismatched comparisons had been left unchallenged and I wanted to get on top of it. (I'm still not sure...

I edited my post to correct the price of EAP before you posted this.

While it is true that the base car has a feature that the older cars did not, the difference between EAP and FSD is $3k vs $9k, not $15k. What do you mean by "EAP is not required for FSD"? You can't get FSD without EAP, that's a fact. If you get FSD then you have EAP automatically, that's a...

I'm curious, did they change your price without consulting you? Typically in the past, when a new price schedule comes out you have the option to change to the new price schedule, but you switch the entire price list for the car to the new schedule, you don't get to pick and choose. And usually...

You are making apple and oranges comparisons. [Second update: OK, others have pointed this out and discussed it over a number of posts, so the following is mostly redundant but while I think the $3k for historic FSD has been addressed, there is also the issue that the current price is $6k +...

Almost right. The battery pack predates the change in FUSC, but... 100kWh packs were available before that date, but only in the performance P100D cars, and they did come with transferrable FUSC. The thing that happened right after the original FUSC cutoff date of 1/15/2017 was that they...

The cutoff for transferrable FUSC was supposed to be cars that were ordered by 1/15/2017 and taken delivery by the end of the quarter (April 2017). FUSC was supposed to have ended with that batch of cars, but they reinvented it in May of 2017 as a referral benefit and it was not transferrable...

There was no response. We had just arrived at an event 5 minutes late so we were more focused on not being any later. I really think the "mumble Musk" part of her comment was the real reason and the misinformed fact was just what she was using to justify the more subjective part of the...

Me: gives ride to 4 friends to an event Friend, after getting out at the destination: I just bought a Mach E. I know you like Tesla, but I (mumble Musk) so I wanted to buy a car made in the US. Me: Ummm, about that...

Done. Yes, all was in place. When the release notes appeared in the car after the update installed, the FSD paragraphs were visible. But, in the app, before the install, it didn't have the FSD content. This might be due to filtering based on car features and pre-install my car didn't have the...

I'm on 2022.40.4.2 and just got a software update notice to 2022.44.25.5 which looks like an FSD release, but the release notes I see on the app don't include any text describing FSD capabillities.
