Pics? Unless they really stand out, I don’t think I’d get it repainted (odds are that will look worse).

I’d guess he needs a new bumper cover and repair any damage they find when the remove the damaged cover. And you need a new bumper cover (and possibly damage underneath), hood, and repaint the front half of your car…not cheap. In your place, I’d just call my insurance carrier and let them deal...

I’ve had it on my car since January and have gotten maybe 5 nags the entire time. I keep my left hand in contact with the wheel at around 9 o’clock and just let it rotate while providing enough friction/feedback to keep it happy. When I have gotten a nag, I disengage it and then re-engage rather...

I think this must vary a lot from location to location. My experience picking up the car was 10/10.

At least according to their web site, the LR RWD also has the downgraded stereo; half the speakers and amps and no sub.

got any evidence or you just going for straight up libel?

So then when you said “maybe this was Elon’s plan all along” you are saying his plan all along was to intentionally not get the best people working for him? Doesn’t sound like a very good plan to me. But you don’t need to convince me…I’m the guy who told Tesla’s recruiter there was no way in...

I just don’t think air conditioned seats will be worth it…especially not in New England.

At current Model Y pricing and interest rate, it’s hard to see how you could end under water on whatever loan you take out now.

I don’t think there’ll be any real reason to let that Y go come Juniper time (whenever it comes).

Because those are the best people for the job? The ones who are the most desperate and/or loyal?

At $20/month, I think for sure I’d just subscribe…at $50/month, I’m not sure. The visualizations have gotten better even in the brief time I’ve had the car (Jan 2024) and they seem to improve as FSD improves so I think your hunch is correct: FSD improvements will trickle down to basic AP.

I also would bet the price is coming down not up…but I don’t like FSD enough to have FOMO if I bet wrong on this one. I’ve tried to figure out at what price I’m a buyer (or a subscriber) but haven’t been able to pin myself down to a number.

I think the end of quarter discounts might be the better deal…of course 0.99% + the end of quarter discounts would be better still…at that rate, I’d finance the car too.

Why not just subscribe for $99/month? If you total your car, will your insurance company pay out that $8k?

The day we gravity tested our printer-fax machine in the parking lot was glorious…fun times!

I’m interested in this…can the commander (S3XY knob, buttons) activate Auto Lane Change? At $20/month, I’d prob subscribe too…

I suspect the opposite; very few who allow it to lapse will return to become regular subscribers. My trial is up in four more days…but I disabled it two weeks ago as well as NoAP. I don’t anticipate subscribing…it’s not worth $99/month to me.

You either have to pay taxes when grant is made or pay taxes when the stock vests. About a third of my pay is stock based…every time it vests (which is quarterly according to most plans) a portion of what is vested is sold to cover the taxes. From that point on, you don’t pay taxes until you...

If you have worked in Silicon Valley, you know that movie is less parody than documentary. I *love* that movie

Try doing that after hiking…

Try getting 5 adults and a 50 pound dog in a Model 3. If we are talking cargo, Model Y is clearly better.

“Sometimes, the most efficient way of truly determining who the actual productive contributors are, is to let everyone go.” That’s an absurd statement. If management (Elon) can’t do any better than “fire everyone” then his management and its lack of metrics is the problem.

Some options: - he didn’t need it - he needed it and had it - he needed it but knew the BoD was so beholden to him they’d never enforce their own statutes I’d guess it’s the last one

Totally agree…the stock has lost some of the ground it had started to gain back since that move.

@h2ofun why are you down voting my comment that Trump is Elon’s preferred candidate? That’s not at all controversial or even in doubt; Elon is on the record as being against Biden. Trump is not my preferred candidate…I’d support just about anyone running against him.

His crew of Optimus robots, ferried by robotaxi, are busy getting to work on it now

Thanks, you just explained my point: 1/16 a quarter is four (4) years to vest. That means it takes 4 years of grants to build up your equity…do the math (it’s not hard)

I’d have previously argued that nerfing the max charge rate would only hurt them at the SuperCharger but I guess that’s not really a priority anymore anyway…

And yet this is Elon’s preferred candidate…

I think the Quicksilver looks gorgeous; it’s the color I’d choose (all things being equal).

Likely the result of recent layoffs…that sucks.

looks like they are hedging their bets…not unlike the Saudi’s backing Lucid

I’m not sure that’s a bet I’d make…Trump has never hidden his animosity towards EVs and he’d go out of his way to undo anything Biden supported.

Yes, you should 100% wait.

None at all…it’s just fanboy fantasy land.

2023 RWD Ys are not capped at 170kW

If you really plan to flip it in a year, get something used that’s already depreciated or maybe do a short lease where you can take advantage of the $7500 credit.

Which built in rear seat entertainment and climate control will you get for your new Model Y?

Yes, it appears I was spreading urban-myth; there is no mandate to supply replacement parts aside from Magnusson-Moss. So Tesla would have to have parts available for the battery and drive units (drive train) for 8 years and all other parts for 4 years after the last Model Y is sold.

If I was told I needed a new bumper cover (which will involve a repaint) because the tabs on the bumper cover were broken, I think I’d be tempted to ask if they could glue (epoxy) the current foglight unit directly into the current bumper cover…

Federal government requires replacement parts be made available for 10 years (IIRC)

If you accuse any woman who you have never met and of whose actions you are unaware (as is the case of this poster; he’s never met her and he doesn’t know what she did…we only have some rumor and speculation) of being a prima donna, yeah, that’s misogyny. That just means any woman he doesn’t...

I’m saying it’s misogyny because it’s criticizing Rebecca’s personality and not her actions even though the poster doesn’t know what she actually did and doesn’t know her at all; he’s 100% going off of innuendo and rumor and yet he’s determined that she’s a “prima donna.”

That’s all true but what they can’t get back (from anyone else) is the years of unvested equity that got cancelled when they were terminated. I suppose that could be compensated by a new employer in the form of a signing bonus but for anyone mid-senior and up, that’d be 100s of thousands of...

But criticizing her personally without any first hand knowledge does.

Is that a political statement or a financial one?

Have you test driven the Highland?

The 3 is more fun to drive. It really is a sports car with 4 doors.

Hopefully the existing fog light unit can be re-attached and it’s not too much $
