    Used X Plaid or New Model X LR

    Get the new car. They charge faster, have lots of updates and improvements. Max acceleration is the only benefit (although significant) to the plaid. New model X will still come with Chetah launch and ludicris standard.

    Good deal? Possible new Tesla owner here

    Sounds like sellers are done with the car, and are offering it at a bargain price to avoid doing all the work to make it perfect.

    Entire Supercharging Team Fired?

    If you owned a company and one of your managers refused your direction, would you keep her?

    Israel/Hamas conflict

    When Pearl Harbor was sneak attacked by the Japanese, American fought back with terrible vengence. We fought and killed until they were unable to attack anymore. Israel is just doing the same thing. People and countries are allowed to fight back when targeted and attacked. They need to protect...

    Rental Model X for 1 month & 6k miles [$$]

    Not many X owners would be willing to rental their cars to someone that will be leaving the country after the month. Would be expensive to handle the logistics of such a long, one way rental. Probably entail pre-payment in full, as well as finding an insurance company that would cover this...
