That’s not how Tesla does it. Most every Y sold in January was a December build

It’s a Tesla, so it gets clicks. If it were a Bolt nobody would care.

Any of the Ys bought in January were built in December, well before the price drops.

I have a Y and a 3. My 3 had some minor cosmetic issues when I picked it up, Service Center fixed it and that was that. My Y, built in Austin, is perfect. Coming from a 2018 CTS and Grand Cherokee, I’d say the Y and 3 are on par quality wise. The materials are somewhere in the middle, but the seats are damn comfortable for the price range.

But the best part of any EV is the power and convenience, and that’s really the reason I went with Tesla. Nobody can touch the range and the Superchargers are the best until EA catches up.

Lol ok buckaroo.

I don’t keep cars over 10 years, let alone 3 lol.

And no, I’m not an AI. At least I don’t think I am.

It’s pretty annoying. Yes, I own two, but I also recognize when Tesla does stupid shit. The steering wheel falling off is stupid and also extremely dangerous. That being said, yeah they fixed it under warranty lol.

You missed the point.

You’re comparing ICE vehicles, which are very complex machines, to EVs which are inherently simple. An electric motor is frictionless. PCBs are easily replaced. Batteries are also simple.

Also, how’s the rust on your Ram? Have you averaged out how much that truck has and will cost you over its lifetime?

I’m sorry to hear that. EVs, over the course of their lifetimes, are cheaper to keep on the road. There is very little maintenance required since there are very few moving parts.

Yes the batteries are expensive, but that’s only because BEVs and hybrids have not been the norm. Now that they’re mainstream, the incentive for battery recycling is now on the table. Tesla is already working it at GigaTexas and other manufacturers are looking into it.

They already fixed it. Also, how much is Shell paying you to defend oil? I hope you’re not doing it for free!

Oh please. I sure hope you don’t drive a VW or a Ford then!

The service team probably didn’t close it yet. That happened to me once, I went to pick up the car but it said I owed a couple hundred on a warranty related issue. I was about to ask the service manager about it but he had already cleared it.

Despite what most people say, Tesla Service is actually really good, especially the Eatontown and Princeton locations.

What does battery replacement have to do with this?

Nothing.

Port Authority cops are legit, respectful and professional. All cops should be like Port Authority cops.

Wow, that’s stupid. “There’s been a lot of violence against brown people, so let’s just stop enforcing vehicle safety standards as an olive branch!” Talk about not getting anything done.

No.

With a Totenkopf on his SSweater.

My Cocker Spaniel, although not a cat, is black. When we met the rescue they said they had a bunch of people that wouldn’t take him because he’s black. That’s their loss though, because he is such an amazing dog! If only he’d stop bullying our new puppy that’s twice his size lol.

Carrying around extra kit that provides no value on the battlefield makes you less lethal.

Based on my wants and needs, yes it’s best for me. Why are you being such a dick?

No, I mean NJ is the best place to live.

I used EnergySage to research what panels would fit my need in ideal circumstances and just for general research. It’s a good tool for a conscious consumer to get a grasp of what’s what. I ended up not getting solar only because of the composition of my roof (metal shingles, super cool but nobody will touch it lol) but at least I know what to go for when I eventually do an addition and change the roof to a standing seam.

I did have a few companies come out to give estimates before they all said no way with the roof and they were pleasantly surprised when I had some knowledge of what I was looking at. One company in particular was trying to sell me a brand I knew was leaving the PV market, so when I opted to ask for an alternate brand (Panasonic) they were happy to help me price it out and ended up being cheaper. But, no solar for me until I do that addition lol.

This is a good opportunity to plug energysage.com. Use them to find local installers. Definitely finance or purchase your panels.
