No one has commented on this post, but you say something that shows significant bias before your article has been written. "What makes people buy AND KEEP THEM?" How many articles are being written asking why are people keeping their less than 18 month old vehicle? Average length of vehicle...
My recall was done almost 2 weeks ago when I got my light bar, no cigarette burn. You can see the bolt location if you really look very hard, but it's unnoticeable in passing, and looks good overall. The back where the cant rail meets the bed i have some bad alignment on one side, I will ask...
I'll answer the question when Optimus is being delivered. If true FSD isn't ready yet, why am I supposed to believe in the Optimus time line?
My FS CT order is not full of regret, I am happy with the product and the depreciation was expected. However, I bought $15k FSD on my Model 3 in 2021...
The issue is the people moving to other brands means less dollars for Tesla. Less dollars for Tesla means less R&D, which ultimately leads to inferior products. The sad part is none of it needed to happen. Even if you agree with Musk's politics, it was a poor move for the company. DOGE...
I'd love if there was a Beast owner in Western NY that didn't have the acceleration bump/crash issue. I'd pay for them to go to the service center with me, so we could compare both rides with the technician. They'd presumably either need to fix my Beast or give me a new one that doesn't have...
Mine really screams at different speeds. I'd guess somewhere around 45mph it is the loudest, but it is very noisy and the loudest EV I've ever been in by a wide margin.
I am a Apr24 delivered Beast, so I am not sure if things have improved. I know the Out Of Spec Beast sounded like mine, so I...
I got mine installed last Friday. They did the recall on the cant rails and also gave me my wheel covers. This was essentially completed on the one year anniversary of owning the truck.
Work was supposed to take two days, then at 5:15 PM on Friday I get the message to drop of my loaner and...
I've been curious how the bed will hold up to a rear end collision with someone sleeping inside it. I wouldn't do it, but just like I love watching Jackass, I'm glad someone else is doing this for scientific research. Worst case scenario we see how well the CT may substitute as a juicer for...
Part of why I went for the Beast is i knew what the tax credit would do to the resale value. Since the Beast isn't eligible for the credit, it should theoretically hold its value more than the AWD, unless it ever dipped below $80k. When I subtract all the stuff I get to keep, like the...
I am finally getting my wheel covers and light bar for my one year old FS CB this week. When I scheduled the visit, they automatically added cleaning this area as a line item. I manually added the new wiper request since mine is the OG model and also had to manually add the Cant Rail...
I used to like how FSD managed it's speed better, it has gotten much worse in the last year. When I said "drive 60mph" it would just do it before. Now I find it picks random speeds. It either drives 5mph below where I had it set for no reason, or it decides to floor the accelerator as I'm...
I have used FSD for maybe 3% of the 11k miles I have on my truck. If Tesla needs people to do more real life testing to make FSD better, give me free supercharging for life under the condition I used FSD at least 50% of the time and I'll do it. Otherwise I'm the guy who's helping more new...
I drove a Ford Lightning before getting the Beast. I loved the Lightning, one of my favorite things was being at a stop light and having someone unassuming next to me, then I'd blow them off the line. I took down sports car after sports car in my Lightning. Everyone I beat off the line had a...
Tesla doesn't have mobile service in many markets, mine included. This sounds like an amazing deal, I wish Tesla would up their service capabilities to make things seamless across regions.
I say it all the time, how good it is to be a Tesla owner is largely dependent on where you live. One...
At first I thought this would sell well to homeowners that have smaller vehicles and don't exceed the EV credit threshold. But if you do meet the income threshold for the rebate, then you likely don't want to be paying the extra cost for insurance on this thing. I don't see this being most...
The light bar is illegal on public roads in NY, even when off, if not covered.
You either need to risk getting a ticket every time you drive, or it needs to be covered in some way. The way I will cover it is with blackout tape, since I don't belive there is a better solution yet (i.e. -...
As a FS Beast driver, I would have traded my light bar for basically any other perks Tesla offered.
The police in my area are very strict, I would be nervous driving around without blackout tape over the lights. At that point, why do I even have it?
There's one trans person who works at a coffee place I go to regularly. They absolutely hate me now and it's awful and awkward to just order my drink. I have nothing but love for everyone, so this is really unfortunate, but it's reality.
