All the Teslas except Model S qualify for the Federal EV tax credit, even the Cybertruck will get an $80K price and qualify. For sedans the MSRP limit is $55K. Would the following be possible? Tesla Model S RWD for $55K ($48K after federal EV tax credit) 290 mile range with much smaller...

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...

Here are my impressions of the Model X Dual Motor (likely 2023 model) based on my 40-minute Jan2024 test drive, suspension set to comfort mode and standard height. This new X was a Dual-motor with Ultra Red paint, 22-inch wheels, tan interior, 5-seater. My daily driver is 2016 Model X P90D...

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...

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...

(moderator note) Further discussion on pricing (speculation, discussion on price drop, etc) can take place in the stickied thread that has been dedicated for that purpose, which is here...

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...

Hello, can anyone who is familiar with the Raven X confirm the upgrades/changes I would get if I buy a 2020 Raven LR or LR+? My current car is a P90D Ludicrous X w/MCU2 upgrade w/white vegan interior and cameras/FSD Beta upgrade. 6-seater w/PUP. Built in late December 2016 (similar to a 2017)...

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)...

Hello, I have a 2016 Model X P90D with 20-inch stock staggered wheels. Does anyone know: 1) Can I buy two more stock front wheels from another older X and install them on the rear? Then all four of my wheels will be same size 20in x 9in. and I can buy the same 4 tires and do rotations front to...

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...

Hello, can anyone help me decide what are the best wheels to replace the stock 22s on a P90D X? Goal is ride comfort, range, and grip. No track usage, no towing. Looks don't matter. Southern California. 1) Tesla stock 20s (9-inch in front, 9.5-inch rear). 2) Tesla stock 20s (9-inch all...

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...

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...

What will be the differences between next year's LR Model Y (Austin) and the current Y(Fremont)? Here are my guesses: March 2022 Austin Model Y LR will have: 1) 400 Mile range due to new 4680 battery cells. Tesla, Panasonic, and LG are all making these in 2022, battery pack will last a million...

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...

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...

I have a 2018 Model 3 with 18s. Awesome car but my biggest two complaints are bumpy suspension on crappy Los Angeles streets and road/tire noise at highway speed. I'm considering to buy a 2015/2016 Model S with air suspension and pano roof and 4-year warranty from Tesla CPO. Can anyone who...

Hello, I'm interested in the Model 3 lift kit to raise my LR RWD by 1.75 inches, sold by Mountain Pass Performance. The car will be easier to get in and out, and ride height/visibility will improve. I will accept the range reduction. Can anyone tell me: 1) Since I'm lifting the car, what...

Hello, if anyone wants to replace their stock Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires with summer performance tires, I can confirm that it works fine to get a slightly wider and taller tire, I got Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires installed at Costco. I have the aero wheels with aero covers removed, I'm in Los...

Hello, I would appreciate some advice on tires if anyone has time to help. After driving another RWD Model 3 with upgraded tires on twisty mountain roads I have decided to replace my stock Michelin Primacy all-season tires on my RWD 18s with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tire, I live in Los...

Hello! I'd like to keep my 18-inch stock Tesla wheels and purchase a new set of tires to help with ride comfort. What type of tire would be better (less jarring) on bumpy city roads compared to the stock Michelin tire on 18-inch wheels? I'm willing to buy tires that don't last as long and need...
