I shouldn’t have compared the range figures. This would have been my forth Tesla. It’s really the price that I have issue with. I convinced myself at first that the extra $20k for the FS was worth it because of its rareness and availability to me immediately vs waiting another unknown amount of...

I cancelled my order. Last Tuesday. It’s too much money for me. When I first got on the list on reveal night , I chose a RWD model. $39k. Then they said the RWD would be the last to be put in production so I switched to a 2 motor AWD. That was going to be $49k. No it’s $99k and about the same...

Maybe that’s why none of us have VINs yet? Maybe they’re on pause trying to figure out how to address these range reports drivers are posting?

🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

👍🏼

I wasn’t expecting to get the credit/rebate but I thought that may be what they were waiting on in general for all models offered starting in 24…😉

My hope is for tomorrow. Even though the price range for our trucks is over the $80k limit for the $7500, still, the rebate laws change tomorrow. Hope my speculation turns out to be correct🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

One have one more day to convert the $1000 to another model. Ends tomorrow😉

I have a 21 MS long range. I can assure you I have never seen 500 mi😳 The advertised rage was 405 I think? Anyway, it’s a little over 300 miles from where I live to LA. I can start out with a full/100% charge and only get to Santa Barbara before needing to charge. My model 3 extended range would...

For me, it’s more about the driving experience than range or cost. I think if I tried to compare the difference in the cost of the vehicle vs an ICE vehicle and the savings for charging vs fuel costs, I would never recoup the purchase price difference. Don’t get me wrong. I love my Maserati! The...

The only way you’re going to know for sure is when you take delivery of your truck and find out first hand😉

Well, I’m not expecting the range to be 40% of advertised but it probably won’t be 80% either. It’s totally a guess for me but I’m expecting around 270, like Dandor shared in the article a few minutes ago. maybe 250. So yea, pulling a trailer that cuts that in half could be an issue for most who...

In all fairness, I can’t think of a single ICE I’ve had( and I’ve have a bunch of them) has ever reached the estimated miles per gallon advertized either🤞🏼

I can’t imagine driving 500 miles, or even 340 without a break. Food, bathroom, stretch legs, or anything else…

Those hoping for 500 mi range some day are going to be pretty disappointed. For me it’s not an issue. Even when I take long trips it’s not an issue that I have to stop a few times to charge.
