When power sharing became available with the Gen 3 wall connector this fired up my creative juices. Tired of occasionally needing to run the stupid cord under the garage door… I put a separate subpanel in the garage. Wired up a wall connector on each side of the garage, and installed a pedestal...

I’ll second that. I use no physical keys for my cars, house or office. If the phone is dead you can just swipe the card and throw the phone on the charger while you drive. Seems workable.

Why? You can scrape off the underline beneath Dual Motor super easily and just don’t ever clean the calipers. Get enough dirt on a calipers and who will know? The only reason I can see getting in line for a new order MYLR is you need seven seats. The price delta just isn’t worth it (to me) to...

I have a Performance and a LR in the garage. To be fair I’m swapping the LR to another Performance in about two weeks. You get a lot more than the 21” wheels for the $4k price difference. Better lighting, better brakes, rear motor, etc. Here’s your plan. Get the performance and a set of 19”...

Delivered my MSM order. Now just waiting on my black/black order and I’ll be all set.

My pickup was scheduled for today, but got a message saying the car hasn’t arrived about an hour ago. Subsequent update tells me we’re rescheduled for Tuesday afternoon.

So basically in ACPD’s use case. Just lost easily $1500 in interest rate hikes on a potential $3750 savings. In the use case we’re waiting 100 days to order trying to avoid both a price increase and a holiday interest rate increase to save $2000 or >$30 a month on a 72 month car loan. I think...

Ordered today.

Okay. So how do we know the Y even qualifies in the first place? China is not a free trade country and a large portion of the battery components are likely to be sourced in China.

Agree with how they did it in the past, I did a Model S and another EV under the first 200k EV cars program. What we're talking about here is a point of sale credit. I think what I did a terrible job of asking is could you end up owing the money back anyway depending on your circumstances...

I don't even know if I understand this properly. Okay January 1st, the dealer where you pickup the car will give you $7,500 off the car. But you need to make less than $150k single or $300k combined, and you also need a tax liability of at least $7,500 in the same tax year. If you have less than...

You’re spending a lot of time doing analysis and posting if you think the MY is over priced. Just cut bait on the MY idea and get a different car.

Back in the original point of this discussion. The .75% interest increase on car loans means the $7,500 is worth about $6,000 net/net now.

Just contact your Tesla SA and get a definitive answer. They won't mind if you pass on the MYLR as they have folks standing in line.

How am I supposed to check on my orders every 5 minutes?

It depends on how you do it. If you order a car you can submit a trade via the app and it will provide you an exact number. If you go to the Tesla website and submit a VIN you get about an $8k range of what might be offered once you submit a trade via the app.

So you sell the car back to Tesla and take a loss. Tesla turns around and sells the car to a waiting customer who's happy to get it probably same day. Tesla quickly makes an unexpected profit. At this point the only one who loses is he who overreacts. This whole plan seems like an asymmetric...

Mhmm. My GF is all in on turquoise and retired racing greyhounds. Dog’s name is Nixie. Matched the Y to color of Nixie’s collar. License plate is “NYXED” on a Greyhound Adoption Plate.

I was just looking at a few local car dealers and what’s on the lot. They unquestionably have cars to sell and interestingly they have a lot of Tesla inventory. Here’s a large Chevy dealer with 40 Teslas: Koon’s Chevrolet Here’s a large VW dealer with 16 Teslas: Lindsay VW It takes too many...

Okay here you go. I was checking values on my 2020 LR Model 3 19k miles as my MYP is about two weeks out. August 31: $50,750 (highest offer Driveway.com) September 12: $47,257 (highest offer Driveway.com) Tesla offered me $48,700 on Sept 13th trade in on the MYP. Based on the rapid turn in...

We should start plotting the used car value now versus when a million people order a Y in December and try to trade-in their cars around March.

You gave several reasons you don't want to order now based trying to perfectly predict the banking, public policy, and manufacturing sectors simultaneously. It's going to be difficult to make a cohesive argument against all these possibilities when you did't give a reason you might order now...

Yes. Yes. You caught me authoring posts at 4:09am. It's Hot, Hot, Ground. The point was supposed to be that pedestal potentially saves you money on that copper ground run with a very easy solution for two WCs on a stick.

If Tesla announced a $7,500 price increase beginning January 1st that would solve the delivery delay conundrum and protect existing owner equity positions/used Tesla market. I think the way the order agreement is written you’re really not ordering anything. What you’re doing is purchasing the...

All of those places buy cars. If you need to flip a brand new Model Y it will probably be a question of how much of a loss are you willing to take at the moment.

I do have to agree the Tesla Pedestal is a bit pricey and I was certain I wasn’t paying $450 for a stick. However, after unboxing it… lol. I will also say the Tesla Pedestal is very convenient, well designed, and provides for a very clean installation of one or two WCs. In for a penny, I ended...

Ok. I have a ‘20 M3LR and I bought my GF a ‘21 MYLR. The 3 feels by far more sporty in the sense of it feels that it reacts more quickly, feels faster, etc. However, personal preference is the Y is overall winner. It’s SO much quieter than the 3 on the highway, we rarely take the 3 on trips or...

I ordered two and will take delivery of them both to replace 2020 M3LR and 2021 MYLR. But I have to admit, I am curious which one wins the race.

I have three of the Gen 3 WC's wired up at my house, but zero cats. LOL. Either way the earlier comment about the cost of convenience is straight away the right answer. We started out with a NEMA 14-50 and found that to be moderately inconvenient with multiple EVs at the house. What I ended up...

Thanks. She absolutely loves it. I have a M3LR so I don't have to "deal" with driving it too much. Everywhere the Turquoise MY goes people point, wave, honk, take pics/videos of it. If we take our dog to the dog park invariably the car ends up in random people's TicToks and IG Reels. One lady...

My GF said that she wanted a turquoise SUV. So, I decided that since that wasn't possible to order directly, I would sort of make one. I got a MYLR and had it wrapped in Inozetek Super Gloss Turquoise Dream. I didn't want the factory chrome Tesla logos sticking up from the vinyl, so we recreated...

Look closely at the speedometer for the dashed lines noting your current limitations. If you charge to 100%, you'll get a message about Regen availability and you'll note a dashed green line on the Regen scale.

I purchased a 2005.5 Jetta TDI new. The car was in a word, a "disaster". At 50,200 miles (end of the warranty) I took it with the title to CarMax and had them buy it. In 50k miles it made 9 trips to the dealer; four times for EGR related issues that caused a limp mode, and 5 times for glow...

None yet, but I'm certainly working on it.

Where do I click order?

I'm aware. I actually called Tesla about it but I got the impression it was a bit of a niche location. I was thinking I might be able to have Tesla add it to the destination locations since it's available now. Have to see how that goes... [Edit: Request sent to Tesla]

I made a deal with the owner/operator of Lake Phoenix in Rawlings, VA. I provide an HPWC; he installs it and makes it accessible to the public. To my surprise, he agreed! The HPWC is now online (40A @ 240v) and available for public use 24hrs. The HPWC is located just a few miles of I-85...

Can you post a video of that process? I'm not sure it's possible. What would be great is a little "X" to the right of the SuC stops when you press the trip button to see all the chargers selected for the route. Bonus: Show the percentage of charge remaining estimate for the following stop...

Whatever you do, make sure you pull wire thick enough for 100A service through that conduit. You'd hate to have to redo anything related to this trench in the future!

If I could just delete a particular stop, I'd be happy with such an option. Say I could just delete one SuC on the proposed route - problem solved. It's actually somewhat annoying, because I can't plan a trip leaving my house to say Florida without it routing to my local SuC. The consequence...

The thought had crossed my mind...

I live exactly 5.2 miles from the closest SuC in Woodbridge, Va. It seems that 50% of the time the car prefers to begin the trip by stopping by the local SuC regardless of SOC. Over the weekend, I figured I'd indulge the Nav system. It said I needed to go to the Woodbridge SuC for 0 minutes -...

If you find out how to apply, guidelines, deadlines, etc. I might take a shot at it assuming I have adequate time. Companies all over the DC Metro area pay me to write ridiculously complex solutions their companies can allegedly provide to the Government. A grant application should be a walk...

I find it challenging to reliably make a few of the hops in my car, particularly Charlotte to Atlanta without Chademo. L2 charging is just not an option in my opinion, and I'm not paying Blink $85 to charge my car for half a day at 30A. Just saying...

I'm in for the $3k upgrade to the 90 pack. Where do I swipe my card?? :tongue:

You won't be sorry with the 90 upgrade, winter comes every year.
