    Used X Plaid or New Model X LR

    Dilemma is very simple. Used X plaid 2022 for 68k with about 35k miles or New XLR for $72k after tax credit? I do want the plaid for its speed and I’ll be able to get the color combo I want. However manufacturer warranty will run out on plaid in 15k miles/2 years. New XLR would have warranty and...

    USED MS LR/Plaid OR MX LR/Plaid

    I'm about ready now to make a decision to buy a used Model S or Model X. I currently have a Model S P100D that I love but it's getting up there in age a bit and I'm getting bored.

    Steering Rack Creaking

    Hello all! Just dropped my car off at a local Mech, My car was making clanking noises when I turned at low speed and when I was on the highway going over small bumps I was hearing some metal clanking. They said it was my steering rack, at first I thought it was my balljoints/control arms. Anyway...

    Used X plaid prices! Could they get to the 60s by the end of the year?

    Has anybody noticed the used X plaid prices are dropping hard? They're starting to reach just under $75k I've seen a couple. I've also seen a bunch under $80k all low miles under 35-40k. I wonder if they're reach 60s I think there's a lot of steals out there not sure why you'd even buy new at...

    Wanted to ask a silly question

    On the refresh model X does the key card always need to be on the wireless phone charging spot to drive? Like lets say your key card is in your pocket do you ALWAYS need to take it out your pocket and place it on the phone charging spot to drive every single time? Can this be modified/changed...

    Model X lease?

    Is it just me or do these Model X's lease terribly. No buyout and on any configuration for the plaid or LR you're paying like 60-65% in depreciation and then you have to give it back

    Which Tires are best?

    2018 P100D here. I'm going to service next week to get a wheel alignment. Front passenger side tire is shot due to uneven wear. Should I replace all four tires? The other 3 still have life. Or should I just go for the front two for now? Also which tires should I go for? Pirello P zeros All...

    Thoughts on buying an Auctioned Run and Drive Model X

    Looking around for a MX 2022-2023 wondering if it would be a nightmare to buy something lightly damaged but for way less and to fix it myself cash out of pocket. Anybody with experience on that and if it's a pain in the ass for a Model X to get fixed by service? I'm assuming Tesla is the only...

    Point of sale Tax Credit?

    I'm hearing since it's 2024 the 7500 tax credit that was available in 2023, will now be a point of sale credit going forward for 2024. I know we're on day 2 of the new year but has anybody taken advantage of this yet or has anyone confirmed this yet?

    Model X Long Range vs Plaid

    For the Model X long Range owners and Plaid owners. I'm doing a side by side comparison because I'm not sure if the plaid is worth it. I do love speed however price is a factor right now because I'm buying new. A MXLR with no options besides picking free paint which is fine for me would be...

    Section 179 + Federal Tax credit combined?

    So I’m strongly considering a Model X. Has anybody taken advantage of Section 179 and if so can you go into more detail on how it worked out? Also can the tax credit of 7500 be used along with the accelerated depreciation from section 179

    I want to go from my P100D to a plaid(new or used) but should I wait for 2024?

    I'm looking to get a model S plaid and get out of my P100D. I'm wondering if I should opt for getting a used plaid that's hovering around 70k or just get a brand new one in the specs that I want. What would be the biggest differences between a 2021-22 to a new one? Or should I just wait for the...

    2018 P100D Brakes...

    Earlier I was going about 70 on the highway and needed to come to a full stop. I would say I got on my brakes PRETTY early and as I got closer and closer the brakes weren't really biting. Long story short I had to swerve out of the way but 100% I would've stopped in any other car I've had...
