You go to the Tesla Website, look for Insurance under menu and use the simple sign up feature, They will send you the quote and you can accept or not. Could not be easier ...

Both my wife and I have our Tesla's insured through Tesla. Our prior auto Insurance was USAA, then Geico. We will probably move to Tesla for Home Insurance once Tesla offers that option. They do business in a very efficient data driven way so should offer a better value product. In California...

With several caveats, thongs and linen robes sound good to me. :-)

Those are approximately the numbers I get as well. On longer trips with the wife I drive slower to keep her happy. By myself, I drive faster ... :)

Never pulled a trailer but that mileage is less than what I get driving with a hitch bike rack and two, 60 lb ebikes on board. Driving at freeway speed (avg 70 mph, moderate temp) 250 miles is an easy number to achieve. I usually charge to 90%+ before leaving home (Tesla Wall Charger) and approx...

Obviously, Tesla doesn't behave like traditional auto manufacturers so their future behaviour and decisions are not definable by any existing metric. We own 2 Tesla's, mine is the Model Y. When I purchased in June 2021, the price was $56,290. It is now 1 year out for delivery and the price of a...

As a retired old white man, discourse on Forums has become a sport. I also ride my bikes 500+ miles a week and play golf 2-3 days. Lack of being productive builds frustration. If I didn't despise politics, that would be an option but my gender, ethnicity and age are already over represented. The...

Ahh the mystery and magic of the google machine;-) Tesla did not reduce prices because they had to. WIth Tesla vehicles extraordinary demand and profit margins, they have the latitude to do price adjustments (up or down) whenever they choose for whatever reason. There are strategic...

I reluctantly "liked" your post. As a white male, I don't think that I've ever read a more disturbing 1st person description of America as it is today. Unfortunately, I think you got it right.

With great engineering , unprecedented manufacturing efficiency, no dealer network, no advertising or marketing costs, Tesla is only vulnerable to labor and materials cost increases. Being as they have a 3X min profit margin delta over virtually every other vehicle manufacturer (ICE or EV) the...

Wow, make a Monte Python concert reference and stir the "woke" pot. Perhaps political discussions should be a bit more tempered ... you know, like the social democrats. :)

Ahh yes, the "center left" or as they were described in the Monty Python "Secret Policeman's Ball" concert video ... The F-ing Social Democrats.

Underprice? How about price a limited production vehicle so that it is affordable to more people? That was the original intent when the CyberTruck was announced in 2019, right? I did a road trip to the North Coast of California this past weekend and even here in Ca, I was driving in a sea of...

Different perspectives are always good. As a stock holder, I prefer they keep the vehicle priced aggressively low based upon their lower cost to build and a higher volume of sales vs any other EV manufacturer. Their current margins are much higher than anyone so focus on increasing production...

And you have the option to ignore this thread so please do ...

I agree that there are certainly steps Tesla could take to mitigate flipping. I have trouble seeing their motivation in doing anything to discourage and thus reduce reservations. WIth zero spend on advertising, Tesla's having massive reservation numbers for the CyberTruck is an effective...

It will be interesting how this all shakes out. Tesla clearly stated in the Pre-Order Agreement no resellers. They may have some splaining to do come product rollout time.

Umm, they do have a 3 year lease option for the Model 3 and Tesla provides the lease, not a 3rd party ...

Itchy balls ...
