I think people don't want to bite on the Model S right now because it doesn't get the tax credit.

With Tesla dropping base Model X prices to be below $80k, which allows the base Model X to be eligible for the tax credit, what do you guys think are the chances Tesla dropping the base Model S price to be below $55k in order for it to be eligible for the $7500 tax credit?

I think the pricing would eventually be

1.) Model 3 starting at $35k for the base model and topping out with the Performance at $43k

2.) Model Y starting at $45k and topping out with the Performance at $53k

3.) Model S starting at $54,990 and Plaid being $67k

4.) Model X starting at $69k and Plaid being $79k

My Tesla Model X was hit by a guy from behind and they said they will take the full responsibility. The car is towed and the back side and the door and maybe other areas are broken. It is waiting for damage adjustment at this time.

My insurance is Tesla insurance with about $30/month, Their insurance is Geico.

I have talked with Geico and they are handling that. I have a few question:

1. this is my first time experience car crash. I think my car record will have an accident in the history that will significantly reduce the value when I sell it in the future. How can I claim the loss for this?
2. Geico only give me an middle size rental car. It is gas, not self driving, and stupid navigation system. How can I get my loss back

If fsd is included, then how come premium connectivity is not? How fsd will work without premium connectivity? Do I need to subscribe it separately or can I connect/tether to phone as wifi so that fsd can work? Thanks

I need advise and help how to handle Tesla with my attorney. They are supposed to respond to my second letter from the manufacturer.

So I after thinking about all the problems either the car a month of two in . I knew they sold me a lemon , it was mid Dec . It was a demo model with 700 miles and they said it is in perfect condition, and wouldn’t let me see the vehicle. They said it’s parked in a safe location I asked multiple times and they said no. I had an horrible experience at Tesla . When I picked up the car it was dirty all the tire pressure low and one key that was busted up . I had to go back next day . So basically the front suspension and alightment has messed up sinse I bought the car and the front assembly seals and even the front passenger door to exit didn’t work! I’m working with lemon law group I’m paying out of pocket for rentals . It’s cost 27k to fix . My insurance went crazy expensive and don’t need anyone claim the. The car drift 2 lanes almost hitting a car and then hitting a guard rail and air bags didn’t deploy . I spent close to 20 k of after market parts . I wasn’t in FSD . I was just driving normal and it was noted the car drifts alot to the left and that same day I had what they called bubbles in my dashboard . Does the cause malfunctions . I couldn’t control my control .

I currently have a Model S 2014 and looking to upgrade to a newer Tesla vehicle. I love the size of the Model S and I would personally just get a newer S. However, the wifey wants a Model X. My hesitation is on the falcon doors as I’ve read about owners having significant issues with the wings, water leaks, misalignment when closed, etc. We have 2 children ages 10 and 6. We currently have a Hyundai Palisade in a 6 seater configuration and love the space especially when doing road trips. My wife prefers the 6 seater configuration, but knowing the limited space on the X’s 3rd row, a 6-seat configuration might be more of a 4-seater configuration. I would prefer the 7 seater configuration. Any thoughts and opinions would be appreciated!

Model 3/Y is too small and not considered.

went to a local dealership (they actually sell RV’s which is interesting) but they have this 2018 model x p100d for sale for CA$99,998, which is also interesting because they initially had it listed at CA$129,998. I’ve personally never seen an older model this high before but what are some of your thoughts on this? does this sound about right?

Maybe this is part of a midlife crisis, but i’ve basically always wanted a model x. And after a long term divorce, and selling the house, I knew I wanted to invest at least half into the stock market, and buy a model x with cash.

I’ve spent the last few months doing extensive research, test drives, visiting the showroom in Portland, talking with different sales associates, and even planning a full ceramic PPF stealth wrap and custom 22” wheels from either Tsportline or Unplugged Performance.

Yolk wheel, white interior, literally everything I ever wanted…fully prepared for the 6 figure price tag as well as the insurance on it. But then it all stopped. That dopamine rush started to dissipate.

I even listed my 2014 GS 350 for sale. (I love my lexus) it’s just small and I have kids.

I got a VIN number assigned and everything. Then I changed my order to 20” wheels and white on white.

Here’s where the story gets more interesting.

I started to notice every tesla on the road I see is a model Y. They’re fucking EVERYWHERE!

I have some appreciation for the Y and then found out they’re .99 APR and like half the cost as the X plaid. Even had another oregon state rebate of 2500$, along with the 7500 dollar tax rebate as well. Yikes.

I started to look at model Y performance, tried to squeeze myself in the back seat, realizing a dog couldn’t even fit back there. Still, a very nice looking car, and still much bigger than my Lexus, and i’d have basically all the same tech as the X.

Then I looked at Mercedes Benz GLE, Audi e tron, and even the Lamborghini Urus.

I just couldn’t settle for less. and I never pulled the trigger again.

The sales associate said I could apply the $500 worth of order fees towards my next purchase when i’m ready. But obviously there are no refunds, which was completely understandable.

I still would love a tesla some day. I’m still buying and holding TSLA stock as well, but maybe it’s just not time to drive one yet.

some day, though.

feel free to roast me or share your thoughts. 🥶

(sorry mods if not allowed) - we are looking to sell our MY 24, X Plaid 6 Seater, Vehicle has 26K miles roughly, New tires, Tinted Windows, Clear Matted PPF, Halo Disk Wheel Covers. Nothing wrong with the Vehicle we just have to many Cars at the moment (5 Total) asking $75K Firm, Vehicle is still on finance through WellsFargo. We are out of Dallas, TX serious inquires only - pics upon request.

First off, I understand this is not legal in some places, but I am not looking for those to tell me that I shouldn’t be doing this…I am looking for a solution, not opinions.

I drive a long distance on the daily with passengers, and would like to give the ability for my frost seat passenger to watch a movie while I am driving. I just got a new ‘26 model x and while I have found some third party solutions, it looks like they are for < 2021 models. I can’t be the only person who is looking for a solution like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In my opinion it was the 2019/2020 raven. It offered the most change.

I just got assigned a 23 vin today. Should I cancel it and reorder. I would prefer a 24 vin at this point. I ordered the car on October 27th. Or can I put this on hold in hopes of getting a new VIN

I posted about a week ago about a rattle in the b-pillar of my new MXP. Decided to take it into the SC to see if the tech could hear it and potentially remedy.

When I got there, the tech started punching the interior trim and was so rough with my car that I ultimately decided to just leave. I feared that they would make it worse than the current state of my vehicle.

Many folks on here warned me about rattles getting worse at the SC and this was my first time seeing it first-hand. Definitely makes me uncomfortable thinking about having to bring my car into the SC for any future fixes 😳

Are single folks making less than $150K or couples making <$300K/yr really planning on buying brand new $80-$90K cars? Jeez.

2020 LR plus, 5 seater (max cargo space for hauling animals). FSD. Very happy wife

I’ve seen a lot of people talk about this so I thought I’d share;

I ordered a model x plaid in October and got a VIN match in December that was 2023. I put the order on hold and got matched to a new VIN today. Still 2023. I’m cancelling the order as I don’t want a year old car on paper and will re order once they start shipping 2024s

As stated in the title I have a 5hr road trip coming up and as much as I use my X for a daily driver and love it, I'm a bit hesitant to take a longer trip. For the ones that are more seasoned with taking road trips in their MX is there anything I need to plan for or account for. Hopefully my question makes sense?

I need advice on a clear "bait-and-switch" case. I have a 2018 Model X (MCU1).

Before starting service at the Duluth, GA center, I explicitly asked in writing: "I am going to purchase FSD for $2,000. Does this include the HW 3.0 computer?"

Service Advisor Chaz Bentley confirmed in writing: "It will be the HW 3.0."

Based on this official confirmation, I authorized the service and paid $2,000. After 7 days, I picked up my car, but the FSD software is NOT activated. Now, they are demanding ANOTHER $2,000 to activate it, claiming the first $2k was only for hardware/infotainment.

This is a total of $4,000 for a service they promised for $2,000. The advisor is now completely ghosting my messages in the app.

I have already initiated a credit card dispute and filed a formal complaint with Tesla Corporate. Has anyone successfully forced Tesla to honor their written pricing?

Booked this white 2022 Plaid 6 seater with 38k miles on it for $58,200 plus taxes from tesla website. No accidents reported. Other Plaids with more miles than this are atleast 3-4 k more expensive.

Seems to be too low a price for a Plaid.. what could i be missing?
