I think a refresh S or X with HW3 is worth keeping. I've lost so much in depreciation I can't afford not to. Parts and service have a been a problem for years, and now one can expect it will get worse, however, as long as one can avoid wrecks and failures it should not matter. My major...

May your car remain defect free, such that you never need service. Tesla gave my driveway a free lube when they screwed up a driveshaft. Took months to put it right and get reimbursed for the tow. I had to clean it up myself. This was 18 months ago, before Tesla Layoffs.

IMO, the best thing since sliced bread, Tesla wise. Yes Android and IOS You need a harness and CAN bus reader. I use MX+ with Zero problems for year now. Details on the SMT site. Search TMC for the thread on "Scan My Tesla" for user opinions. Can edit the data sets to display anything you...

It certainly can be assumed it does not balance when sleeping, which in my case, is 99% of the time.

Will it make the old cars keepers?😁 Have not used Steam in a year...

Unlikely unless the BMS detects a problem. Some have experienced a high vampire drain shortly before a BMS error or pack failure.

Placing service request today! I don't expect anything given my service experience in SoCal.

And a most tasteful configuration, if I may say so...

Maybe place your orders soon. Truckload of M3P with Ludicrous badge headed to LA, not an MS to been seen anywhere on a truck last few weeks.

If the powertrain or battery coolant pumps are running, as they are want to do over 77% SoC, then you might need more than 4A. SMT is the best solution short of Toolbox.

My buyer brought cash to my bank...45 grand in hundreds...we did the paperwork in the lobby.

^^^This. Even if there was a method to rebalance the pack strings better than the BMS normally would, what is the point? If there are weak strings they will become weak and out of balance again at some point. If I wanted my pack to have greater life and higher capacity, I would charge in...

Craiglist can work, it did for me. I did open FB, but frankly auto trader was much quicker in getting offers. Somewhere, there is a buyer who will pay a little extra for a well kept car, as opposed to whatever a dealer has laying around from a trade in. You just have to let that person find you!

Works for me! The last new car I bought before the MS is "29 and holding"

Still, cheaper than a newer car that will not have sunroof, FUSC, leather, yacht floor, and the cool Early Adopter vibe, (IMO) Suggest contact Recell. https://recell-ev.com/ Possibly they can do a remote diagnosis. Note, if you put a voltmeter on the jump posts, battery, or into the 12v...

Is yours a 2023 or 24?

Is the current Plaid without track package also limited like the current LR to 130 mph? Asking for a friend....😉

Recently deemed non essential probably. And the future is looking a little like Twitter...

Correct. My point is, many small charge cycles for a given energy added, will result in a non linear reduction in degradation vs fewer large charge cycles. It's probably the reason the early MS came with the note, a plugged in Tesla is a happy Tesla, or words to that effect.

@livesmith , you win the Tesla lottery! So, the cycle counter in the car that you can see though SMT does not account for the fact that many small charge cycles are much better than large cycles. So, 750 cycles from say 20 to 90 might cause a lot of degradation. 4500 cycles from 50-70 will be...

I don't think that is the case. If you buy the replacement part, then you get to keep the old part. Of course for things of minor value, the service dept might let you keep a part replaced under warranty. A HV pack, not so much😁

That's like 10 days of plaid rental on Turo!

Sounds like Tesla. Fix two things, break something else. That someone was probably deemed non- essential very recently.

With the money you have saved, you could rent a Plaid for many days a year, or even a cyberbeast, if your into that sort of thing...

Annnnd...always look under the car! There is a full checklist here on TMC if you search for it.

For those debating delivery of a new EV in general, there are well documented reports that show the amount of emissions of building an EV compared to ICE. If you drive the average of 12 to 14k miles a year, it won't take 10 years to break even.

Per Tesla-info, inventory of MS and MX is rising rapidly - over a thousand for each. If one believes the trend is your friend, I suspect a price cut is possible before EoQ. If not, I would not accept a car with defects, and let the SA know ahead of time. As an aside, MY inventory is though...

That's a clever play...to order on that day. May Dojo smile on your delivery.

There is some demand for the "Dessert" trim. Cream with cherry 🍒 and a sprinkling of walnut. I do have one used, but can't afford to sell.

Imagine you have a blister on the left fwd corner of the yoke, and give it a rub often. Some suggested to hand lotion. I don't have any but lots of chemicals in the garage...😉

OT ...I like my fob. It may be the only thing that they will never add to the M3 and MY. I rarely SuC, with the range of the refresh MS, maybe 7% total. Even if Tesla does not maintain the chargers, (Which would be stupid because they make money off them) the Tesla App is superior to all the...

56 Billion would go a long way to add new features that would increase demand and keep people employed on the MS line and supercharger team. "Hard core" would be for the Board to stand up to Musk.

The way that EV's are depreciating, maybe all I will need is liability coverage on a few years...

When the side mirrors are closed, I can see this area clearly. I give it a rub every now and again, but no pimple yet. Fingers Crossed!

Some overpaid even more than you. For that matter some overpaid more than me. What was a P90DL back in the day? 69420 would have been a good compromise

Highland is "S Light" I may use that one day.😁 One thing that should be noted is cars a built a few weeks to a month ago, might not compare to what is being shipped now. Imagine you are on the Freemont line, and one in ten of your coworkers has been let go, with rumours of more to follow...

What's the best Rivian message board? Back on topic...Edmunds says my car is worth 66k private party...

Well, it's been said the best car is the one you have. Although the R3 looks compelling...😉

And I think you've got high number there!

May 22 build here with same miles. Did you counter with $69420?

That was what I meant by my comment. Tesla has discontinued the lower cost models before, such as in the M3.

It seems they made no attempt to nerf the M3P like I think they did for the LR vs Plaid. Could it be the slowdown reported above is clearing out the part inventory ahead of a discontinuation of the Long Range MS and MX? Mixed feelings about that. They have to save cost somewhere, and demand...

When on FSD/s, the "40's" vibration is still noticeable even when your foot is off the go pedal. Although I'm too busy wondering what the hell is Dojo thinking to pay much attention.

Probably less noticeable than the last yoke. Unlike seat wrinkles, one can learn to ignore the worm in certain light.

Did you ask for mobile service? I really don't want the revisit the paint from under my car left on Daily Drive.

I hope you are right

Anyone considering the new M3P? Sports seats, real wheels, no yoke, 10% faster 0-60 than an LR, and about 27k less than a LR.

Hopefully, you had TSLA for a while and sold some for the down payment. Took the sting out of the 18k price drop for me.

Get a 3 buck tread depth gauge, check every so often, but at least 6 months 5 k miles. If wear is even no need for an alignment. All my tires are with in 1/32 of each other on all 4 grooves. 7 out of 9 new at 15k miles. Other car was not aligned until well over 300k miles. Then it was never...

New UI coming for the entire lineup which will add missing features to CT.
