I’m still waiting for a complete solution that’s proven to work seamlessly. I have a S92 on the bench but won’t install it until they provide a power connection that leaves the right side speakers operational. Your always-on issue and mounting incompatibility kills this one for me. Thanks for...

Isn’t this likely due to your first issue being a very early failure before the updated parts or PCS failures even trending (1.5-2 years ago)? So this shouldn’t be interpreted as a continuing risk for those who have replaced their PCS in recent months, which seems to be the majority of cases?

Agreed the sign thing is huge issue. And true everywhere. Kinda weird because AP back in 2015 could read signs accurately most of the time. This is very recent, with 14.3. Because it was a total rebuild of FSD from scratch, my sense is this is a missing feature that will be returned. That’s the...

Agreed but I think the gist of Demuro’s comments are ten years out, not 3 or 5 like the cars you referenced. Out of Spec’s latest piece this week on their purchase of an original 2012 MS pointed out that with only rare exceptions, almost every remaining 2012-2014 Tesla on the road has a...

I used referral credits, so “free”.

You do have speed control by learning the profiles. Sloth won’t speed. Ever. Chill only goes a couple over. Standard or Hurry drives like a normal person. Mad Max is just that. I agreed with your position at first but have come to appreciate a nuanced ( Ai?) approach to speed relative to...

Then you have no idea. The latest versions are night and day vs a few months ago. No need to opine if you don’t know current status.

I was referring to the single wiper engineering.

It’s not tragic at all. I knew what I was in for and wasn’t surprised, keep coming back for more. I write off my cars to zero the minute I drive them off the lot. Same for boats, motorcycles, etc. Resale value isnt a consideration. I don’t finance anything, and when I switch out for a new...

Many, perhaps most of Tesla’s CT buybacks have been customer satisfaction issues, proactive purchases by Tesla, with no lemon law activation. In that basic I suspect they avoid the title history concern. It would essentially go into inventory like a trade-in.

It isn’t an edge case, full stop. It is a normal use case for which the CT was specifically DESIGNED and marketed.

Just because you don’t tow doesn’t mean a lot of CT owners don’t. In the past month I’ve towed 2,900 miles with large trailers. I’ve seen lots of other CTs doing it. Just yesterday at the boat ramp I encountered three others plus mine, all towing over 5,000 pounds. The towing function is a...

Dang. Got me.

You are new here. Reread what I wrote. Exactly what you said in reverse order. Others here for a longer time know the facts, but I’ll humor you. All of these were purchased new: 2012 MS #209 Signature Performance purchased for $106k in late 2012, sold in 2015 for $29k. 2014 MS P85D...

Correct. I paid just under $72.5k on March 2025 with the $7,500 POS tax credit for a new 2025 AWD CT. The rest of you are screwed. I mean, who would pay $120k when we KNEW the prices were coming down and the difference between a CB and AWD is meaningless to anyone outside this forum, or in...

That’s essentially claiming to be the tallest midget. 😜

Exactly correct. I have sold five Teslas. Original MSRPs ranged from $83k-$132k. All went for under $30k. All were five or less years old. Depreciation is real. What folks forget is functional obsolescence. Owners can hardly give away HW 3 vehicles now. 2013-15 MS are going under $10k -...

An unproven assertion on which the entire argument rests… and for which there is plenty of contra-evidence - unless you can show us a license agreement with Jim granting exclusive geographic rights to Supercharger provision, I think it’s pretty clear that Tesla has often and will continue to...

The issue with this is that they changed NOTHING in your contract with the decision to essentially sell superchargers to private businesses or individuals and provide a referral service through the navigation or other app to allow you to find it. It is additive, not subtractive, unless you...

An eight-stall Supercharger costs about $950k to install. Assuming $0.20 delta per kwh for gross power sales margin, I fail to make the investment math work. A private owner would need other incentives, because in today’s world construction cost for a McDonald’s or convenience store is under $3...
