I could use the same thing for my Radenso.

I did a test on Earth Day where I charged while the solar was cranking. My 36 panel solar wasn’t free, but it looks like it’ll be about a 6 year ROI.

You could keep the cars you have now and pay them off rather than getting a Tesla. Or sell off the car without the negative equity and pay down the one with it. Everyone wants shiny new stuff, but financial needs should outweigh the wants.

Sometimes the stink is so bad you have to throw out the whole dozen and pick the good eggs back out of the trash.

Looks good and the trunk floor appears to be flush. As for the crease, does anyone think a dealership will notice that at trade in?

It’s a nice change from the former standard colors. If I were buying today I’d probably choose Quicksilver over the white I purchased, but I do like the white.

6’4” and 320#, I put 260 miles on my Y yesterday. The bottom of the seat was fine, the bolsters felt narrow an hour into the trip. The car only has 1100 miles on it, so there is certainly some opportunity for break in on the bolster foams. I may take a rolling pin and see if I can accelerate...

I purchased end of March 24 during the fire sale. I haven’t owned a 3, but I’m very happy with the new YLR. I test drove both the YLR and YP. The YP was really fast, savagely fast. The YLR is still faster than the majority of the cars on the road, I can’t agree with @holmgang that it’s...

Same here. I didn’t want my elderly folks who may drive my car to be even more intimidated without traditional controls. I think one pedal drive will be welcome as my dad has issues finding the correct pedal due to neuropathy.

I had a ChargePoint charger for my Lightning at my last house, I did the Tesla wall connector at the new house. The ChargePoint worked fine, another one I considered was the Grizzl-E as it was very well reviewed in 2022. The charge cord is lighter and easier to handle on the Tesla. My install...

I haven’t tested mine yet. I have a couple trucks at the house to tow my boat, but I have a mobile service visit scheduled for 5/4 to get the rear door PPF installed that wasn’t on at delivery.

Or longer. I also had to drive 70 miles each way to get to the service location. I had a couple things fixed post delivery, they were easy to deal with and addressed my issues.

Are there child seat anchors on the rear seats that should be secure enough for the spare tire? I’m thinking I’ll eventually modify the rear floor for carrying the spare all the time.

Assuming you qualify for the tax credits, you’re not that far off of what I paid for my new 2024 MYLR last month. Spend another $10K and get a new car with new warranty.

I lucked in to a Modern Spare Y setup for $200 from someone on FB Marketplace who had just sold their Y and gone to a hybrid. The tire was less than three years old and had never been used. It came with all the tools, but may be an older generation as the jack is too long to fit inside the...

Mainly the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Mustang Mach E, and VW ID4 were the direct competitors I might’ve been interested in. Ford doesn’t seem to be able to give the Mustangs away and they cost more than Y. Hyundai is offering $7500 rebates since they lost the tax credit. If the Hyundai Ioniq 5 got both...

I really don’t like that I have to turn off FSD to look at my phone. My wife was laughing when I turned it off yesterday and then replied to the prompt for a voice note on why I’d deactivated FSD and my reply was “I had to deactivate FSD so I could text and drive”. I was actually looking down...

Having experienced complete failures (shredded tire) at highway speeds both front and rear, I found the rear blowout significantly easier to control. The loss of the front tire caused the vehicle to violently change direction and swerve into the other lane before I had a chance to react. The...

That shoulder area of the tire is not approved for repair, the tire should be replaced. At least make sure it’s mounted on the rear where a blowout is less severe.

Speculation on my part largely due to the hype of a new product. If they can reduce costs and hold or increase MSRP then they make more profit. I cross shopped the competition in March before buying, nobody else comes close on the value proposition of the Y currently so in a normal market...

I’m guessing there will be a significant price increase with Juniper. Removing the incentives now and raising prices will get people used to the higher MSRP so it isn’t such a shock.

My 3/2024 Austin build MYLR takes the normal size pucks.

My former 2022 Lightning was averaging 2.3 miles per kWh around town and 2.0 miles per kWh highway at 70 mph in the fall before it got cold. At 42 cents per kWh for home charging the truck was eating me out of house and home. Now I’m back in the EV game since I added a 200% need solar system...

I’ve had my MYLR with 19” Gemini wheels for a couple of weeks, today was the first trip beyond just in town. I left the house this morning with 97% and arrived home with 43% after 164 miles mostly highway at 65 mph or 70 mph. Seems like 164 miles on 54% is about what I should be getting. The...

I’m 6’4”, 320#, 34” inseam. Today I spent 3+ hours in the 2024 MYLR. The seat was ok, not perfect but not offensive, no pain or discomfort at the end of the day. I could see wanting to add a pad or something on the bottom of the seat to boost me up off the side rails a little as the foam...

If I come to a stop in the parking lot it starts highlighting parking spots for me to choose from.

I did a 164 mile round trip today, much of the highway portion using FSD. When I was a mile from home the car decided I wasn’t paying enough attention (I had a hand on the wheel and was looking at the road) and kicked off the FSD generating the message pictured below. I don’t think I was doing...

The free trial has multiple purposes. First off is to get people hooked like a proper dopeman and earn some quick cash. One video I watched suggested the FSD revenue would be an estimated $600 million annually if there is a 25% take rate putting 500K cars on the road with FSD, about a 10%...

If they fire sale I’d consider getting a second one.

I made a note of the parcel shelf only folding in two places instead of three at delivery and asked Tesla to replace it with the three fold version. My service appointment is Monday, we’ll see if they replace it.

In the case of my installation there is about 15’ of the ~57’ run tucked down in the insulation next to a joist, 4’ is through an insulated wall, 5’ is in the conduit from the ceiling to the charger, and the remainder of it is secured across the top of the joists above the insulation. I could...

The new M3 wheels are only rated for 710kg, the minimum for the Y is 750kg.

I saw your other thread about selecting the wheels. Any range data yet?

The rear motor on the P is upgraded.

I noticed a difference on the test drives, I think most of it can be attributed to the 21” wheels wrapped with rubber bands. The suspension is lower, so theoretically less travel to absorb the really hard hits without bottoming out. I lusted after the MYP, but realized I’d quickly spend...

And a rougher ride, and more expensive/damage prone tires, but also that savage acceleration.

Your large solar/power wall arrangement wasn’t free, so some kind of cost needs to be assigned to that power. My solar was $50K out of pocket, $34K after tax credits and incentives, the real cost works out to 16.5 cents per kWh. Grid power here is 37 cents per kWh so the investment is well...

All the inventory cars are the same and generally recent production, mine was built in the same month I purchased it. Pick your trim and options and search for the best inventory deal.

Discount Tire in the west does free flat repairs.

Thanks for pointing that out. I told him 60 amps and sent him the installation manual from Tesla. He is a licensed electrician who does complete homes and commercial work. From reading some other posts on charger installation it appears the 6/2 and 60 amp breaker is a common mistake or...

I had a ChargePoint L2 charger at my old house from when I owned a Ford Lighting. It worked well, but the charger itself was $700 in September 2022. I had an electrician install a new 60 amp circuit for the Tesla Gen 3 charger I bought off the website when I got the car. He ran 6/2 romex on a...

If I were that concerned I’d bite the bullet and buy a new set of tires without foam. The Michelin Cross Climate seem very popular.

I love it when there are no weights, or just .25-.5 oz on a rim. Unfortunately the tire manufacturers would probably call that 5-6 oz acceptable, but it needs to be match balanced or road forced. I had one of the 35” tires on my old Bronco come back with 15 ounces on it, the others were all...

Mine updated to the two years. Also I noticed I’m getting four months of FSD rather than just the three from using a referral.

In MA I paid tax on the price of the car before state and federal incentives. Think about it this way, in 2023 the incentives would’ve been collected after the fact and full sales tax on the transaction would’ve been collected at time of purchase.

Mine sitting in the garage connected to its new charger.

My inventory car we purchased on 3/28/2024 has a 3/2024 build date, so they don’t seem to be sitting around for long.

After doing a demo in my new Y I would consider paying $5,000 now that transferred to subsequent cars, or $49 per month for as long as I own a Tesla product. It would incentivize me to stay in a Tesla product the next time around rather than shopping elsewhere. $12K is just too much, almost...

Getting the credit is contingent on having enough tax liability due to offset the full $7500. I think that only applies for 2023 purchases, not the 2024 point of sale credit. If your income is $71K then your tax liability is only $4756, so you could collect $4756 of the $7500. The government...
