Yes. You need a brief break between incentives so the people who jumped for the last one don’t get mad.

It will last about 3 days.

It has become common practice lately for them to add these diagnostic fees. If the issue turns out to be covered by the warranty, they waive them.

I dunno. I disagree in this case. Advertising a lease payment “after savings” of a completely unrelated and independent expense is deceptive and dishonest. It’s kinda like Geico saying “lease a Model Y for as low as $299/mo*” *after up to 20% savings on your auto insurance from switching to...

It’s pretty discreet. I thought they axed it all together for a day or two until I found it.

Of course they are. Tesla is a deceptive company.

3 months maybe, 6 months definitely.

…and there you have it. Yet another person looking for someone or something else to blame for their own bad decision to purchase a new car at the height of a once in a generation bubble.

I think big discounts or rate incentives on the Model 3 would be a bad omen… theoretically that car should still be “new” enough to not need them. If demand is flagging already, that’s a bad sign. 😐

I suspect this has to do with the switch to LFP battery chemistry. LFP cell voltage curve is extremely flat from ~20-95% so capacity measurements might drift over time if the batteries aren't allowed to deeply discharge occasionally.

I sold my Model S privately late last year. When we met to hand over the keys I clicked "remove or transfer ownership" in the app, entered the email address of the buyer's Tesla account, and voila. They got an email in 30 seconds and were able to add the car to their account right there in the...

Yes, it is gradually reduced as the battery gets closer to 100% as the pack’s max charging rate is reduced.

More common in countries with 3-phase power (3x 230v @ 32a). I believe there were some Model S/X produced for foreign markets that had 22kw capable chargers, But I’m not 100% sure.

Do you not get value from say Google search? Same is same. In any case the business model is quite clearly “viable”, these are some of the biggest companies in the world.

If the seller has access to the car via their own app, they can transfer it to you instantaneously. The multi-day thing is only if you have to send paperwork into Tesla to prove ownership (like when buying from a dealer who themselves don’t have app access to the car).
