    Paint flaws in new model Y

    It there a model/brand you recommend' and are you using Tesla touch up paint? I hear you on the white and it's a great color for the 3, but it looks kind of plain blah blah on the Y imo.

    Paint flaws in new model Y

    I got my first chip today. I knew it would happen and eventually more will come. The part that got me was how thin the paint is. The chip can barely be felt because the paint is so thin on the hood of my 2024 MYP. It's too small to try ad repair with touch up paint so I'll just leave it alone...

    Referal Credit

    I figured that since they gave me an unexpected 10K credits for customer loyalty. Wasn't sure.

    Help me decide Model Y performance or Model 3 performance

    @mreynolds767 Before I bought my 2024 MYP in the March fire sale, I extensively test drove the M3LR, MYLR, and MYP. Two things stood out to me as the key differentiators. 1. Comfort: The M3 feels like you're sitting in a go-kart. The seating position is very low and at 6' I felt long commutes...

    Referal Credit

    I used a friend's referral link to buy my new MYP. I immediately had the bonus points an extras like 3 months FSD, but he did not get anything, Its been roughly a month. Does anyone know how we can contact Tesla to report the issue?

    FSD now $8,000. Who's buying?

    Mercedes Benz EV have the highest depreciation value of all EV brands LOL Now I don't hate Mercedes, I've owned two over the years. I think they stop being Mercedes around 2010. This short read on Rolex imo applies to Mercedes also except Mercedes hasn't quite found its way home; they are still...

    FSD now $8,000. Who's buying?

    It's shocking how Elon has not just seemingly ignored Tesla and let the competition catch up and in some cases pass them. The only thing Elon has left in his pocket is FSD. At some point he will need to give it away free.. my guess is within the next 3 years. I don't see Tesla making any major...

    FSD now $8,000. Who's buying?

    Your math makes no sense. reducing the price by 10x and increasing the user base by 80% is lots of money. Additionally he can then make small annual price increases just like Netflix and Amazon Prime. Have only 20% of the user base at 10x the cost is still unrealized gains. You assume a person...

    Tesla FSD now $8k

    Thats cool. I only have an FSD option for $8K. No EAP available for me.

    Tesla FSD now $8k

    Elon is leaving millions of dollars on the table by not lowering the price to a level the 80% will buy into, like $19.99/month. I'd be interested in seeing the stats on how many Tesla owners have bought or are current subscribers to FSD versus total amount of Tesla owners.

    Tesla buying/delivery experience Florida

    LAW® 553 Retail Installment Sale Contract is widely used by financial institutions and nearly every franchise dealership. This contract covers vehicle sales and financing. The specific clause you mentioned is only asking you to confirm the dealer informed you whether the vehicle is new, used...

    FSD now $8,000. Who's buying?

    FSD is now selling for $8K, but it looks like a bad deal. Really, really, really bad deal LOL You can subscribe to FSD for $99/month, and it would take 8 years to reach $8000 total spend. Considering Tesla does not allow you to transfer FSD to a new vehicle except under limited promotions that...

    Did Porsche miss the mark with Macan EV 4 line?

    The Macan 4 has a 0-60 mph rating of 4.9 seconds and top speed of 136 mph so the MYLR is the quicker and faster vehicle of the pair and at comes in at half the price before tax credits and other incentives. Porsche's production will likely be low the first year anyway so the Macan 4 will likely...
