Have you considered leasing? Normally I wouldn't, but per the Tesla Invetory Website: All leases are eligible for the $7,500 Tesla Lease Incentive. Make sure you switch the financing option to lease as it defaults to cash/finance. You cannot purchase it at least end, unfortunately. Purchase...

The Heartland Institute is an American conservative and libertarian 501(c)(3) nonprofit public policy think tank known for its rejection of both the scientific consensus on climate change and the negative health impacts of smoking.[2] Source: Heartland Institute - Wikipedia I question their...

Rebates such as the Oregon one are applied to the purchase price thus reducing it. The amount financed would be lower than without it. You may check the loan balance to see if it was reduced. Your down payment calculation should be on the outstanding loan balance after rebate. Maybe your...

I recently traded in my Tesla for another Tesla and paid the difference in cash via the app. The SC swapped my old plate (NC has no front plate) and said the title and registration would be mailed. I drove with the old registration for 2 or 3 weeks until the new one arrived by US mail . It...

Study: Electric Vehicles Involved in Fewest Car Fires as quoted by KBB from 2020 NTSB data.

I took mine to Discount Tire and they plugged it for free even though my Tesla had OEM tires not bought from them. I was fully expecting to be charged. I guess I did buy a set of tires from them last year for my wife's car. They will advise you of any cost beforehand so you have nothing to lose.

I bought mine on the last day of Q1 and it had $7100 worth of Tesla discounts plus of course the Federal Rebate of $7500. It was manufactured in Austin in March of 2024. In terms of future discounts, I have seen prices fluctuate both ways with Tesla. Ends of quarters are a favorite time for...

I personally think 1 foot from a barrier is a good distance. How did it park in relation to the entire spot? Was it pretty much centered, front, back, left and right? We all have our preferences, but I prefer to be centered all around particularly, in parking lots, to lessen the overall...

Model 3 User Manual on line I searched on parking.

I went to Discount Tire, fully expecting to be charged for the screw in my tire, but they repaired it for free even though it was an OEM tire not purchased from them. Of course this assumes it is repairable and has no damage to the sidewall.

Just picked it up on Easter Sunday. Gotta love those end of quarter discounts.

Here is my new Tesla MYLR in Ultra Red. I like the color and have received several unsolicited positive comments on it. It was an end of Q1 incentive deal that I couldn't pass up.

I agree with most all of the critiques posted thus far. I would like to add that the hesitancy to go, unless all is clear at an intersection, or very slow starts from a stop can be mitigated by pressing the accelerator somewhat and it will remain in FSD mode. That behavior has made it much...
