We picked up our first Tesla a few weeks ago. We were told we couldn't even open the door to the car until we purchased the car, sending the money over, accepting the car. We were told that we had the first 100 miles and some number of days to report any issues we found and they would be...

Can phone charger be replaced with Apple Magsafe in 2023 Model 3 or Y? How hard is it to disassemble the center console and replace the phone charger?

I have an order out for a Model 3 and Model Y (I can't decide which). Both are now giving a date range from today to 10 days from now. But the range doesn't make sense. For the 3, it had said March 1-8. Now, two days later it says Match 3-10. Clearly march 9, 10 are not in the original range...

I rented a Model 3 from Hertz. I had been using it for a week. Hundreds of miles on it. I was the first renter of that car. Had 4 miles on the odometer when I picked it up. A week later, I need to take my family to the airport 50 miles away, go to put the car in drive and a bunch of error codes...

https://driveteslacanada.ca/model-3/tesla-confirms-removal-of-radar-from-recent-model-3-y-builds-in-switch-to-tesla-vision/ There's also a reference stating that a tweet was the announcement. Looks like the article has a typo and meant 5/12/2021. Tesla is ditching radar, will rely on cameras...

How has Tesla historically handled model changes. Do they: - Announce first then introduce or remove from the car sometime later - Or make the change to production cars first and announce it after its already in production and being distributed? In particular, it now looks like Tesla will...

I've reserved then cancelled, then ordered then had it canceled starting 10 years ago. I've pulled the trigger again. We were on the fence vs. an ID4. But the price drop is too good to pass up even with Elon's twitter fiasco. Ordered it a couple of hours after it went live, car is already made...

Income limit still applies. Prior to February 24,2022 $150,000 for single filers $204,000 for head-of-household $300,000 for joint filers On/after February 24, 2022 $135,000 for single filers $175,000 for head-of-household $200,000 for joint filers

Wow BTW, I was able to get my Tesla roof installed. I’m Bay Area, not NC. But they did manage to cancel my model y order.

Likely energy is going to heat the cabin. gas vehicles heat the cabin with waste heat from the engine. No such thing in an EV. 22F is very cold. Consumes huge amounts of energy to heat the cabin. You need to preheat before you unplug so you start with a warm car. Heat pump won’t work at that...

Yes they did. I was clear I wanted delivery in January. They threatened to cancel but someone implied they’d try to extend day by day. Looks like someone finally looked at it, decided it taking too long and pulled the plug. They actually didn’t warn in the days before the cancellation. It was...

Demand is drying up. Production cars with no buyer go to inventory. Presumably everyone is waiting for January expecting to get $7500 tax credit. But recession fears and rising interest rates may have curbed demand at the same time production is ramping up. Canada and China are also...

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said during the company's third-quarter earnings call on Wednesday evening that the company expects to fully meet the Inflation Reduction Act requirements that would allow consumers to receive tax credits on new EV purchases...

Elon had posted staring tesla would qualify for the full rebate.

I don’t get the impression they care about happy customers. Q4 numbers are more important.

I don’t know about matrix headlights. They did want me to specifically acknowledge and accept that ultrasonic sensors had been removed from the ordered vehicle. I don’t see removal of the sensors as a good thing. Removed function expected in most cars mid priced and up.

March order. Significantly below current price. But if full tax credit comes along it’s about the same price. Ordering right now still says delivery in December, almost immediate delivery. Quite a difference from any other time. I’ve never seen zero wait for MY order. Down from my 8 month...

Agreed. Sadly I was in the boat of having an EDD in December that got moved up. Despite my best efforts, tesla just cancelled my order. I’m disappointed in how callous they are. I had expected they’d figure out some way to deal with the tax credit at end of year. Extra deposit. Parking fee. But...

Tesla I had the same reaction for different reason. Tesla is supposed to be so smart. Innovative. I’m paying cash. I thought they’d ask for a big deposit, non refundable even, a few thousand dollars. Or even charge to store the car for a month. But alas, it’s all procedure. The people wanted...

Varies. I think demand has dried up. No one wants to take delivery right before tax credit becomes available. Good chance you’d get it this year if you’re one of the few willing to accept delivery this year.

It’s not your fault. Demand for teslas has dropped off a cliff. Can order today and get a car in a few days. No one wants to order or accept delivery now when tax credit is a few weeks away. Tesla just cancelled my order because they refused to wait a few weeks. I think they’re desperate to...

I ordered March. I wanted it delayed until January. They were delaying my delivery day by day. Someone at tesla was trying to help me. But time ran out and they just cancelled my 8 month old model y order despite just having spent $70,000 on a new Tesla solar roof. Tesla and/or Elon is careless...

Tesla just cancelled my Model Y order. They refused to delay delivery a few weeks despite having just spent $70,000 on a new tesla solar roof and power wall. Not valuing customers.

Does anyone still think that Elon's actions won't damage the Tesla brand?

Update on my solar roof install. Ordered March 1, 2022. Tesla could never give me an estimated install date. A few weeks ago, out of the blue, I get a call. How about next week? I am now the proud new owner of a tesla roof and power wall. So far it’s working great. Install went well. Took 2...

Sadly, his company is very much not executing to plan. He privately owns Twitter. It is a very public dumpster fire where at every step he looks like an arrogant idiot child unable to discern fact from fiction, completely unprepared for a non tech endeavor.

Elon has always been synonymous with tesla. It used to be an enormously good thing. The vision was very persuasive. Sounded very smart. Aspirational. People wanted the product not only because it’s a good car but because of the vision. Buying into a better future. New tech. Best experience. Ride...

It’s too late for Elon to walk this back. He’s too full of himself. He’ll never walk this back. Tesla will become synonymous with extreme right wing unless he quits as ceo. I’m suddenly ashamed of my brand new tesla roof and can’t imagine accepting delivery of the Model Y I have scheduled for...

Because Elon is so special no one can say anything to him. Have to appease his every wish or else. How lame. Apparently we live in a land of kings. Dictators. The rich should be the only ones with a voice. Gotcha. That explains a lot of how we’ve gotten here.

Elon has gone full MAGA. No claim of middle ground anymore. Twitter is his private mouthpiece to spew his love for the extreme unhinged right.

What happened to free speech and bringing back people who have been banned? Now Elon doesn’t like it so forget everything he said before. It only applies to view he personally doesn’t like.

Awesome post. This

Worried about effect on tesla stock.

I don’t think it’s a lie. It seems demand has disappeared. I ordered 3/1/2022 and I was given an actual date weeks ago when they wanted me to accept delivery. I declined and asked for a later date. My EDD is currently 12/1-12/31. There are even inventory MYLR available here in the Bay Area. 10...

New orders even for base MY shows December. I think demand has dried up waiting for 2023 tax rebate. Who would order now if waiting a few weeks could be $7500 cheaper.

Too often these days facts are undeniable but that doesn’t stop crazy stories with zero facts from being debated as equals.

This is the kind of feedback I fear. One of several associating Tesla with musks Twitter debacle. Edited with a more indicative tweet.

I called multiple times and was told the only way was to refuse delivery and request a later date. It can only be done once. The later date may be pretty soon after. I’ve already used my one try. Painfully close to January.

I'm swap with you. I ordered in March. MYLR white interior, white exterior, hitch, base wheels. EDD moved all over the place, now 12/1-12/31. But I'd like to accept it in 2023 for the tax credit. I'm trying to find a way to get them to delay until January, but doesn't sound promising from what...

I ordered March 1st. I'd like to delay until tax credit. I do have the lower price but it's pretty close to a wash vs. ordering now and getting the tax rebate starting January. My EDD has also moved all over the place. I was able to delay it once. Now they're saying 12/1-31. I'm going to ask...

Repeating a completely fabricated story about the victim of a murder attempt is hardly curating free speech.

It was up for a few hours. Enough to be retweeted thousands of times. It's been on all the major news. It helped to make the story trend on twitter. Tweets correcting the false story were buried. Presumably many people think the story is real despite police and many other references indicating...

Serious question. I'm having a Tesla Solar roof and Powerwall installed today, as I post this, power is out during install. I have a Model Y on order supposed to arrive next month... right before tax rebate goes info effect, but thats a different story. I am shocked at Elon's tweet repeating a...

Presumably because of Elon's crazy tweet repeating to his 113M followers, a dangerous completely false story about the attempted murder of the husband of the 3rd in line for presidency of our democracy.

I ordered a Tesla solar roof (not panels) March 1, 2022. I need to get the roof replaced on my house. Insurance will not insure the house with the current roof. I thought I had plenty of time, however Tesla has at various points told me that there are no solar roof installs going on this year...

I wasn't offered delivery any sooner, so it looks like I would have already missed the ultrasonic sensors.... and radar has been gone for a while. Surely, if Tesla says vision will be just as good or better sometime "soon", I'm sure it will happen in short order. :)

I hadn't replied for a while. A Tesla rep on the phone somehow had marked the account to say on hold until end of the year. So I thought I was good to go and didn't want to rock the boat. But yesterday I received an email confirming cancellation if I don't accept delivery in 2 weeks. Argh. I...

My delivery date has suddenly been moved way up. Suddenly get an email our ordered car will be available in 2 days. This is late September. Is it possible to get Tesla to delay delivery until 1/2023 for the tax credit. Is there any trick? Has Tesla made an announcement regarding how they’re...

I just successfully edited my order... changed it from black to white interior. However... without notice it also changed my delivery date from 4 months from now (October 2022) to March 2023. If I had known, I wouldn't have made the change. Its now extremely unlikely I will get a Tesla. I...

Is that true? Did they ask for it? Presumably not based on Musk's word that they asked for it.
