Price increases on the Model Y are likely designed to make a gap for their lower range variant that's going to come out of Austin. Our Model Y is an exceptionally good vehicle, but the super unrefined suspension, pretty meh build quality, and overly simple interior make it a poor value at $64K.

Model Y all day.

I'm in Rochester, not exactly known for balmy weather, and at no point have I even had to think about my heat. Blanket statements like "All Model 3s in Chicago had their heat fail" or "heat pumps don't work in the cold" are simply false. Tesla has too much to lose to willfully deploy HVAC...

Don't really understand the sentiment against heat pumps. Our Model Y heat pump has been unbelievably good this winter, blowing excellent heat, pretty much immediately down in the single digits. Our typical highway economy is around 380-400 wh/m, at around 70 mph, which I think it's pretty crazy...

Our 2021 Model Y has the PWS but only makes the warning sound in reverse. I don't know how we got away with that but it's amazing.

Im sure most people would be shocked hearing such pointless, insecure generalizations from a Porsche owner! I know I was.

I agree with this pricing, and delivery timeline. That said, I don't think the backlash will be as big a deal as it was for Rivian due in part to the smaller reservation costs. They can also afford to lose 75% of their reservations and still be supply constrained for years. I have a lot of mixed...

If it were available today, i would be fine ordering a dual motor explore trim with large pack at the new prices. IMO, the quad motor is overkill for onroad folks, the power tonneau seems janky, and I don't find gear guard very useful without a dash cam. This vehicle would still offer the core...

I wish I'd put hood, bumper, and rocker ppf of my Giulia but overall the paint still looks excellent after 4 harsh winters and no automatic car washes. IMO, full PPF is for 6 figure vehicles likely to gain value and people with more money than sense. I use the Griots 3 in 1 ceramic spray on...

I posted back in December that Rivian's prices were too low to be legit, and we now know that's true. They were likely planning to sell them near cost back in 2018 to build up some volume, but no business plan could predict the dumpster fire that the last two years have been. The disfunction on...

TA-DA!

I got the call a few days ago. Nope, not that one. My dad died suddenly at 56 of a windowmaker and I needed to come take care of the ensuing maelstrom of paperwork and family drama. After what was undoubtedly the single worst day of my adult life, I pulled into the only hotel in town that I knew...

Yes, I'm sure that's exactly how that works. One of the things I'm most looking forward to about EV trucks is that "truck guys" aren't going to be able to ignore efficiency the same way they always have. You want to drive a vehicle you trail 2 days a year with 15 inches of ground clearance...

Motortrend's air compressor overheated during their review and I believe they had a suspension failure during the Rebelled rally as well. I would personally not expect the air suspension to be bulletproof, especially given the added complexity of hydraulic roll control. The problem with EV...

Hah, I work for one of the major US rotorcraft manufacturers and can confirm.

Modern branding is all about buzzwords. People associate "vegan" with being cruelty free and to a lesser degree, eco-conscious and "leather" sounds expensive and luxurious. While I applaud and appreciate removing animal products from vehicles, the polyurethane materials that Tesla and Rivian use...

Currently no matrix headlights and no adaptive (swiveling) headlights.

Complete joke of a product that shouldn't exist. Blows right by micropeen to the uncharted land of nanopeen.

While I agree that there are no guaranteed theft deterrents, the fact that the truck could have notified you in real time of someone messing with your stuff would have been a uniquely powerful tool. I certainly would feel better running in to the store if I knew I'd get an alert if someone cut...

Customer service chat support told me it is now just a cable.
