    A boomer mods his booming Y. The fix

    So within 50 miles driving my new Y I have a significant problem. Low frequency booming air pressure. I’m hyper sensitive to this phenomenon with a single window down and the air pressure “thrumming “ or booming or what ever it’s called. I just know I hate it. So my new car is doing this over...

    .99% APR Financing Promotion (May 10 - May 31 2024)

    Here is another interesting tidbit that came up. Tesla's offer for my M3 was insulting.. so I ended up selling my 2019 M3 to Carmax which came in 2.5K below what I owed. It was over 5K under just a few months back so this was a significant improvement :). Regardless... I could have sold...

    This is interesting. When I got mine. Start to finish with approval was less than 30 mins. It took me longer to upload my docs

    Reporting in the field from carmax

    So I sold my M3 to carmax now I’ve picked my my new .99 Y. They gave me exactly what they quoted online but the told me that I’m lucky. They are getting a ton of Tesla owners doing what I just did. So he’s expecting the offering prices to fall in a few days.

    Quick 4-month new MY report

    Same as OP. Moved up from my 2019 M3 and love the new Y AWD. I miss my M3 but not enough to keep it ;).

    .99% APR Financing Promotion (May 10 - May 31 2024)

    We were discussing this on the podcast.. this .99% is one of the least offensive knobs Tesla can turn to move cars. Unlike cutting prices which annoys the recent/past buyers, this keeps the "value" of the car the same. It gives the used car market a serious case of heartburn tho.. I've seen...

    Picked up new LR Y from inventory

    Shout out to the folks at the Irvine Tesla Service Center/Delivery . The car was spot on perfect. Clean, detailed, nothing out of place. Gaps good etc. This one was built in Fremont for those interested. Blue/B/W interior 5 seat. Busy at 6PM with 15 people in front of me and 5 more behind me...

    Tesla just raised the rates from .99 to 1.99% on the 72 month loans. The lesser loans are still .99%

    Has anyone else ordered the new LR Y RWD?

    Not going to happen. The AWD/P has dual amps with more speakers. The RWD wont have the right wiring harness or the speakers unlike the old M3s that could turn on the speakers that were installed but not used. The AWD gets foglights, a motor, package tray, premium sound system and probably a few...

    Thoughts after a 2300 mile journey

    I was in Bakersfield of all places when I missed an exit to another freeway.. the next turn around was several miles down the road but never fear.. the nav system had me leaping from a 30 foot high overpass to the street below to be on my way.. several times. The nav never did resync..I had to...
