    Available For Sale 2012 Nissan Leaf in Las Vegas $4000

    The main traction battery was replaced by the previous owner under warranty. I have the paperwork that shows it was replaced by the Nissan dealership in Henderson, NV. This was done in November 2016.

    Did you just buy a Tesla from Hertz Car Rental?

    I think the Chevy Bolt EUV is a great car. I test drove one last year at a Chevy dealership. If I bought it for $35k, it would have been a huge mistake. A one year old Bolt from Hertz with very low mileage for $19k is a fanatastic price. If I didn't already buy a Tesla, I would have definitely...

    Did you just buy a Tesla from Hertz Car Rental?

    My 2022 M3 RWD (with LFP battery) with 71k miles shows 253 range at 100% charge. Also keep in mind that with the last two software updates, the range was changed and most vehicles are showing fewer miles. So 272 on a new vehicle probably wouldn't be accurate with the software update.

    For sale For Sale 2012 Nissan Leaf in Las Vegas $4000

    I bought two Tesla M3's this year. So I'm giving up my trusty 2012 Nissan Leaf. 81k miles. It has served me well and I'm sure it will serve the next owner well too. Absolutely no issues with the car. It's a great little car to drive around town. You won't be able to travel out of state or long...

    Did you just buy a Tesla from Hertz Car Rental?

    My local Hertz has dozens of Chevy Bolt EUVs, all 2023 with 16k-25k miles, all under $19k. Good thing I didn't get one last year from a Chevy dealer. I was ready to buy one for $35k and I wanted them to go down $500 in price. They wouldn't budge so I walked out. But I did buy two Tesla M3's from...

    Did you just buy a Tesla from Hertz Car Rental?

    LOL I've ridden Uber a few times. Ironically once was for a ride to Hertz to pick up a car I bought. I've always thought to myself, "They are driving so slow! Hurry up."

    Did you just buy a Tesla from Hertz Car Rental?

    That's how just about everything works these days. Look at hotel room advertised rates. They don't tell you about the resort fees, or this fee, or that fee. Book a flight on an airline, a million and half fees that you might not know about. Advertised rates on a rental car... This can go on and...

    FSD Beta Acceleration

    Looks like FSD is now $99/month.

    Did you just buy a Tesla from Hertz Car Rental?

    Any EV that you buy this year, you file the taxes for it next year. That is, in April 2025 you file your taxes for this year 2024. So if you and your spouse buy two EVs today and qualify for the credit, it would be counted when you do your taxes next year. But you get the credit now.

    Did you just buy a Tesla from Hertz Car Rental?

    If husband and wife file their taxes separately they can each get the EV credit, but the income limit for each person is $75k. If husband and wife file taxes together, they can only get one EV credit and the income limit is $150k.

    Did you just buy a Tesla from Hertz Car Rental?

    I did not claim the first one because it was more than $25k. The second one was $23k so I was able to claim the $4k EV credit. But yes, it is one EV credit in 3 years.

    Did you just buy a Tesla from Hertz Car Rental?

    It'll be on the Additional vehicle information screen. Or you can open the hood/frunk and remove the plastic panel right in front of the windshield wipers and you can see the battery. A lithium ion battery will look like a silver metal box while a lead acid battery will look like a standard car...

    Did you just buy a Tesla from Hertz Car Rental?

    Also I found out the Model 3 RWD I just got from Hertz has a Lithium low voltage battery. It's not a 12v lead acid like in my M3LR. It's actually a lithium 16V. This is great! I don't have to replace the low voltage battery ever! Lead acid batteries typically last 2 or 3 years here in the desert.

    Bought a 2nd Tesla from Hertz last week with the $4000 EV credit taken at the point of sale. Got the ownership transferred and the Hertz guest mode software removed by calling Tesla with the phone number posted above. This is what I bought: 2022 Model 3 standard range, 75k miles, pretty good...

    @legendsk Definitely looks like something's wrong with your cameras. The camera images should not be discolored and pixelated like that. Maybe a reboot of the screen might help?

    FSD Beta Acceleration

    Just got FSD v12 yesterday on my 2022 M3LR. I also think that the acceleration is too aggressive. It's certainly not the way I would drive normally. Turning, changing lanes, coming to a stop at a red light is perfect and gentle. But when it starts going from the stop, it's an unexpected jolt of...

    Solo Roadtrip from San Diego to Vancouver (Canada) in a 2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range

    If you had to do the drive again, what would you change? Would you buy FSD for $199/month just for the trip?

    Did you just buy a Tesla from Hertz Car Rental?

    Yep, that's exactly how the ownership process works with a Hertz Tesla because you can't change the car name. After the car is in your Tesla account, you will need to factory reset it because it's still running on the Hertz fleet software.

    Different MSRP pricing on 2022 Model 3

    I forgot to mention that the white one is the $57990 (top picture from DMV) and the blue one is $50990 (bottom picture). The MSRP makes a difference on what the yearly registration fee is paid to the DMV. It's not a huge difference, but it is around $125 per year due to the $7000 MSRP difference.

    Different MSRP pricing on 2022 Model 3

    I'm looking at two different 2022 Model 3 Long Range vehicles. Both look the same except for the paint color. One is white, the other is blue. But when I look up both VINs at the Nevada DMV, it shows one vehicle MSRP is $57,990 and the other MSRP is $50990. That's a difference of $7000. I can't...

    Need advice for New Tesla owner making 800 mile trip

    Thanks for all the great advice and suggestions. I haven't thought about getting a CCS adapter. That certainly would come in handy if a SuperCharger is not within range. I see price ranges from $250 at Tesla to under $50 for some cheap knockoffs elswhere. I actually have three J1772 adapters...

    Need advice for New Tesla owner making 800 mile trip

    I discovered why the Tesla app did not want to route me through Flagstaff. Even though it is a shorter trip in terms of miles, the way I want to go is through the Apache National Forest. The two nearest superchargers between north side of the national forest and the south side is roughly 300...

    Need advice for New Tesla owner making 800 mile trip

    Yes I can set a destination in flagstaff and then continue on. I was hoping for a simpler solution like so many other GPS’s have. For example on my Ford Fusion, if I don’t like the route it chose for me, I press a button and it shows me one of several other routes. I don’t have to manually add a...

    Need advice for New Tesla owner making 800 mile trip

    Next week I’m about to embark on a 800 mile trip from NV to TX. I entered my destination and the route it gave me shows 5 stops at superchargers. The route is going through Phoenix. But I want to go through Flagstaff instead. I can’t figure out how to change the route. The mileage is nearly the...

    Did you just buy a Tesla from Hertz Car Rental?

    I had the same thing happen when I was trying to figure out how to transfer ownership. You have to choose either the phone key or the key card. Because the moment you use the key card, the phone key is erased. But all that is history now. Once you get the ownership transferred to you, all of...

    $25k for a M3LR is still a great deal. Especially if the battery is in top notch condition.

    Did you just buy a Tesla from Hertz Car Rental?

    Congrats! You got an excellent deal. $21k - ~$3.4k tax credit = $17.6k. WOW! And 315 miles estimated range. What a deal! What a deal!

    Did you just buy a Tesla from Hertz Car Rental?

    Yes, all Hertz Tesla vehicles are limited to 120MPH and the acceleration is set to "chill" mode. Once you get the ownership fiasco taken care of, you can remove the speed limit and set the car to standard mode. There is definitely a big difference in acceleration between chill mode and standard...

    I'm a new Tesla owner

    Here's the update on my 2022 M3LR. A call to Tesla allowed the transfer of ownership to me. It couldn't be done by the app, website, or the screen. After the call to Tesla, I was able to do a factory reset from the screen that removed Hertz's restrictions. And then the fleet version of the...

    Delaware to Texas Incorporation

    There was a scam many years ago where the scammer contacted many small business owners.

You don't have to pay me anything if I can't deliver what I am...

    Delaware to Texas Incorporation

    I find it rather amusing that a single shareholder that owned just 9 shares of TSLA stock brought the case against Musk, which resulted in Musk losing his $57 billion compensation package. No wonder he's pissed. But he can avoid all that by doing what he did with Twitter by buying back all the...

    Delaware to Texas Incorporation

    Texas governor just created a business court a few months ago (HB19). It won't even be open for a few more months. The court will be presided by 7 justices appointed by the governor. All this would seem to be Tesla friendly for now. Musk is thinking that the new business court will be great for...

    Model 3 maintenance

    I bought my M3LR just a few weeks ago from Hertz. When I turned on the AC, it has a nasty odor. So I immediately ordered a cabin filter with carbon from Amazon. There are dozens of manufacturers so I just picked the cheapest one that contains activated carbon. It was $10.97 with 2-day delivery...

    Failed Inspection due to door handles? It passed in other locations in the past, not here! Wilson Tires and Auto in NH

    BTW I just came across this video on Youtube about a stuck door handle on a Model S. It wasn't a burned out fuse, but taking the fuse out and putting it back in reset the switch and the door handle worked normally again. The guy who made the video is from Europe (British?) and it shows that the...

    Failed Inspection due to door handles? It passed in other locations in the past, not here! Wilson Tires and Auto in NH

    I understand from your posts that once a failure has been logged in the DMV system there has to be proof of repair and re-inspection. But let's say it's a headlight that's out. Definitely it won't pass inspection. Anyone can buy a bulb from an autoshop and replace it themselves. You don't...

    Failed Inspection due to door handles? It passed in other locations in the past, not here! Wilson Tires and Auto in NH

    Pardon my ignorance. Are inspections necessary to register your car in New Hamshire? I've only lived in California and Nevada and never had to take any of my cars for inspection. The only time an inspection might be needed is if you bought a vehicle from out of state. The only thing that's...

    Did you just buy a Tesla from Hertz Car Rental?

    Any Tesla that's on Hertz website is likely already sold because they only update the site over night. The best way to get a Tesla is to find one that is not yet available, but is available for "Rent to Buy". Then you set the earliest day to rent it. You can keep the rental for 3 days at...

    You can't really think about it that way. Hertz cleaned it top to bottom before selling it. If you do worry abuot things like that, what about when you buy a house? Some houses are 100+ years old. You don't know how many people died in it, barfed in it, crapped in the kitchen sink, used the...
