I like the exterior redesign. Interior pluses include new front ventilated seats, more sound deadening, added speakers, and rear control screen. Downside: no signal or shifting stalks.

Here is Car Wow's drive test:

 
Rivian might start leasing soon.

If they do that... I may bite.

They also fixed their ride quality via an OTA update... let's see an ICE car do that. :)
 
Not for good reasons…😳🤦🏽‍♂️😂🦄🌈
  • Tesla cut the price of some Model 3 and Model Y versions in the U.S. after the company reported third-quarter deliveries that missed market expectations.
  • The latest round of price cuts comes just days after Tesla reported third-quarter deliveries of 435,059 vehicles, missing analyst expectations and marking a decline from the previous quarter.

Talk about nothing burger.

Sure they lowered prices to move more metal... that's what everyone does.

I notice you're not saying how much they lose per vehicle... that's why they can drop prices.
 
They lower prices because demand is falling…that is not a good thing. Lowering prices and profit to clear a backlog of inventory is not what any business wants. If demand exceeded supply prices would rise not fall. Econ 101.🤷🏽‍♂️😂😂😂🦄🌈

Funny things morekaos says.
 
Reading comprehension indeed…their own admission..

Curious questions: Who on the board might have the oldest Tesla? I'm wondering about battery degradation and impact on range. Any 2014 Model S owners out there able to share what a 9 yr old battery charge and range looks like? How about a 2018 unit? After 5 yrs of use what is your experience with an original battery Tesla?
 
This claim of a million miles battery Tesla is bullshit isn't? while I found some credible writting in the attached link.

insideevs.com

Tesla: Battery Capacity Degradation Averages 12% After 200,000 Miles

Tesla revealed the average battery capacity degradation in its electric cars in its new Impact Report 2022.

Someone whom adopting new tech and bought early Tesla, ain't gonna keep a car that long.

They probably will trade up every 2 years, or like the IPhone cycle, every year. Ha ha

After 5 years and 70k miles, my 2018 Model 3 now charges to a max of 287 miles. Originally, it charged to a max of 310 miles.

The tech changes quickly. The 2014/2015 Teslas that my family and friends have seem very dated to me and I don’t like driving them at all.
 
I had read that the mileage limits are software, not hardware controlled.is that the case? A 280 mile limited battery could see an OTA software update allowing 20-30 more miles on the same battery for example?

That's what I said.

What you said was the lack of comprehension.

There are some few instances like that but it is not that common. A couple of the instances:
- Old Model S 60 could be unlocked to be a Model S 75
- Original $35k Model 3 SR could be unlocked to be an SR+
 
While driving back from Westminster this afternoon, I saw a VinFast on 22. I guess it's the VF8 SUV since that seems to be the one selling in the US.
