    I drove the Model 3 Highland base model today in Burbank CA, and I used to own and drive 2018 Model 3 LR RWD for 4 years. OVERALL DRIVING IMPRESSION: The car drives AWESOME. Equally as good as Legacy Model 3. It's so fun. Handling and responsiveness are VERY good. A bit slow 0 to 20mph...

    Hello all. Am I the only one who thinks the new S and X Standard Range have a totally different battery pack? Maybe using 4680 batteries or LFP batteries. Option1 - SR S and X are using same battery as LR/Plaid, but it's software limited. Option2 - SR S and X are using 4680 batteries. Option3...

    Prediction: Model X price will be reduced to $78K in January 2024

    I predict Model X 5-seater will be priced at $78K in January 2024. My reasons: 1) Federal EV tax credit enables SUVs priced under $80K to get $7500 discount. And starting January 1st, this will be a point-of-sale discount, given upfront. 2) Model X Long Range was already priced at $80K from...

    New price drops tonight, here is my view of which Model Y qualify for the 2023 federal tax credit between now and March: Model Y Performance 5-seater (MSRP gotta be under $55k) : None of them qualify. Model Y Long Range 5-seater : Gotta stay under $55K before destination charge. These...

    Federal Tax Credit Rules - Will drive Model Y price down to $54,000

    1) A federal tax credit of $7500 on Model Y is too juicy for Tesla to pass up. Will massively drive up sales if Model Y qualifies. 2) IRS has confirmed that the 5-seater Y does not qualify as SUV because the 5-seater version weighs under 6000 pounds and ground clearance is under 8 inches. 3)...

    2016 X price and acceleration vs 2022 LR

    Just watched a review of the refresh 2022 X Long Range, and it's kinda fast with 0 to 60 in 3.8s, but that's slower than my 2016 P90D Ludicrous, which takes around 3.5s (and even quicker if I put it in Ludicrous+ and launch it). If anyone is shopping for a fast X, keep the 2016 in mind. My...

    I'm a Model 3 long range owner since 2018, here are my thoughts on 2018 Model X 75D 7-seater rental from Turo: Pros: The expansive view of roads, sky, and scenery is AWESOME. This alone makes it the best Tesla. The car drives amazing on twisty mountain roads, way better than I predicted...

    Is 2018 75D with 20s the most reliable and comfortable pre-Raven X ?

    I'm in the market for a used X as an additional car to my 3. Can't afford used Raven, and I want to minimize the shudder problem and increase ride comfort. Does anyone have comments about : 1) 75D weighs ~270 pounds less than 100D, this is a 5% weight reduction. So with the lower weight, I...

    Why is the Standard Range Y gone? Is MCU3 gaming computer incoming?

    We know that Model S and X are getting a new gaming computer chip this week "MCU3". Suddenly Tesla blows out the SR Y inventory for $39,990 and then deletes the SR from the website. We also know that a presentation on the new Model S is coming within 2 weeks. Maybe they announce that the new...

    Buying a Tesla with quietest cabin

    Proposal : The best Tesla to buy if you need quietest cabin is the 2017 Model S with metal roof due to the insulation. Does anyone else agree? My Model 3 is loud at highway speeds, it's bothersome and I can't hear the nuances of many types of music. It's not serene. My previous 2001 Lexus...
