The Palladium S Plaid charges much faster (higher charging rates) than my Raven X Performance Ludicrous. Higher peak charging speeds and faster time to charge overall. For just about any charge, the S Plaid will also charge "faster" than a Cybertruck in the sense that 10-80% will happen...

Not sure how this is different from steering around a pothole, of which we have ample in NJ. It's your (expensive) property so just turn the wheel and avoid the obstacle. What's the problem? I will say FSD 12 seems much better for slowing at road obstacles including speed bumps, big divots...

I had both front halfshafts replaced on my 2021 Plaid in mid-March, same part numbers and no mention of 'extra strength' halfshafts though I did get new nuts and washers which are missing from your invoice. No more 40-50mph vibration on my set.

You can actually report these things. Every time I have to break out of autopilot and take manual control there is an onscreen prompt to hit my microphone button and record a quick explanation of why I broke out of autopilot. It goes away pretty quickly, seems like 2-3 seconds, but it shows up...

I had a 2019 X (Raven) and have a 2021 S Plaid and am waiting on a Cybertruck. I'd say the X is a great, well-featured, minivan and fantastic at minivan things like carting around kids and their stuff. The Palladium S is a fantastic grand touring sedan with amazing trunk space and super-fast...

I would, and did, go for a used Model S from Tesla for the extended warranty peace of mind. As long as you wait to top off to 100% just before you depart it should have no noticeable impact on battery health and the S is a fantastic long-range grand tourer. For the most efficient runs? I'd...

LOL, don't sleep on the Cream. It's a very light color, similar to white, but hides small marks better IMHO and is just as easy to clean up. I also shopped used and ended up with White exterior/Cream interior. White is not my favorite exterior color as it's tough to keep clean, would have...

I installed my universal wall connector yesterday (5/12/2024) and was also seeing the 'server error' but the vehicle was charging fine and I could still see the wall connector and charging data in the app so I know it had an internet connection. Just tried again and...it's gone. I didn't do...

I think you'll be very happy with it. Plenty of space and the Plaid X has the captain's chairs in the second row which is comfortable and spacious if you rarely have more than four people in the vehicle. Trunk is an absolute monster. Now...how about the color choice? I typically like black...

I owned a 2019 Model X Performance Ludicrous on 22's and it looked the business. BUT. It's a minivan. Albeit a nice minivan, but a minivan nonetheless. Now I've got a 2021 Model S Plaid. Why 2021? So I could get the ultrasonic sensors that they removed in the 2022's and having them makes a...

I have no experience (outside of service loaners) with 2017/2018 models. BUT given that loaner experience I can tell you the Raven refresh Model X (late 2019-late 2021) has a far better air suspension than the older vehicles if that matters to you. I did have the fairly common front...

That's the Model X in 5 seat or 7 seat. Had a 2019 X and the back seat is nice and flat (and wide). You can definitely get 3 car seats across.

Back seat is quite a bit wider on the S than the 3 but if you're thinking kid space (and their gear) then I'd offer that the Model Y is your most likely target. Same chassis as the 3 with more interior space. I'd skip the 2020's as early build quality was questionable and look for an off-lease...

Is the Cybertruck for everyone? No, of course not. But neither is any other vehicles. I have been eyeballing Hummer EV SUV's as prices are falling and inventory stacking for new ones on lots. BUT the high voltage battery replacements, software issues between the app and the vehicle...

Best wishes for your son, ultimately that's all that matters. Amazing to see the prices on these inventory M3P's plus tax credits get them into a much more attainable pricing band for EV performance vehicles. Also a former petrol-head who really liked 6 cylinder turbos - finallly got that Z32...
