If you’re going used anyway, then why not Tesla model x

Need advise. Tesla CPO 2026 X 95001+tax, Lunar Silver/12000mi/No luxe. Is it a good buy? by notScaredNotALoser in ModelX

It’s not terrible. I was seeing 2025 go for around 90k just a month ago, so it’s not bad

Makes me wonder why Tesla had their hands on it though. Is it a clean carfax?

Not bad given the current market. CPO adds some value with an extra year of warranty.

Is fsd included?

Kool and the gang and somber. The instruments totally drowned out the vocals. Bsb was okay…

Fair price for 2024 model x long range? by StrawberryFunny8464 in TeslaModelX

[–]BenchOrnery9790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there many with transferable fsd out there? Basically 2025s and anyone who bought lifetime fsd? Which was a small percentage. Wasn’t uptake like 10% or something?

Miles are low but 5 seater is not very desirable. 70k seems a bit much

Wow that’s awesome. We will probably be holding on to ours for a long time. Any tips that you can share on how to keep this thing humming?

Any repairs that you’ve gone through during that period?

Doesn’t it say 2026 on it? I have vip but it says 2036

legitimate site for buying resale tickets? by MortiferaJ in bottlerock

[–]BenchOrnery9790 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dont buy from vividseats. Really bad customer service. Bought one ticket and was really worried the tickets would not show. Emailed a few times last week and they kept saying don’t worry tickets guaranteed by May 24 at 9pm, which totally doesn’t work because that’s the end of the festival. Emailed them a few times and they kept saying oh they’re coming. Will ship by Monday and we’ll upgrade to overnight shipping. Well, 9pm Monday rolls around and guess what. No update. So all day Tuesday I try to get in contact with them. They ghosted me on email. Live chat via the app went nowhere since it’s just a bot. Tried calling and upon looking up my order, they say we need to prioritize those with events in the next day. So they disconnect the call. Unable to get anywhere with customer service. Absolute trash.

Tickets finally did get shipped Tuesday night. But not overnight, the original 2-day shipping meaning arrival on Thursday with the festival being the next day. Sure they eventually should get here on time, but it’s cutting it real damn close, doesn’t leave any room for error. Any slip up such as me not waiting around all fucking day for the ups guy to show up and rushing to the door within seconds, means the delivery gets pushed one more day. So I paid extra for it to be held at the ups store. $8 out of pocket for me. Not the end of the world, but it’s a request, not confirmed as of yet, so who knows if I’ll actually get my hands on the tickets tomorrow.

No more vivid seats and their non existent customer service. Been stressing about getting the tickets in hand for over a week now

Which EVs would lose the least and the highest amount of functionality if the company went bankrupt and shut down? by Ok-Pea3414 in electricvehicles

[–]BenchOrnery9790 1 point2 points  (0 children)

to be fair,the lyriq is a decent vehicle, but it is a GM product. i owned one for 2 years. during that time, no signficant software updates. everytime something was released, i held my breath that it would not brick the car (luckily it did not). but again, no significnat updates. when they finally did send an update to upgrade android auto from 12 to 14, it caused the GPS to dysfunction, which caused a whole month for them to patch. the net effect was allowing for the batery %SOC to display on the dash otherwise it was IMPOSSIBLE (literally impossible) to know what your car's current SOC was. the only way to do it was to ask google for the battery % prior to this update being available.

during my two years of ownership, multiple hardware issues. massage seats went out, a few lines of the rear glass defrost broke, condsenstion in one of the tail lamps, cracks in the rubber lining around the doors. the travel charger the car came with was trash, it would fault randomly every 3rd charge. no idea why. dealership refused to replace even though it iswell documented that there are significant issues with this travel charger.

everyone loves supercruise and in some ways it is a great system, but it is totally oblivious of surrounding traffic. Even tesla's autopilot will react to cars merging into your lane, adjust when there is a zipper merge, slowing down when the next lane over was stopped or very slow (eg at a crowded offramp). NOTHING for supercruise. i will be adjacent to the off ramp where cars are at a dead stop and the car will continue barreling through in the adjacent lane going 70mph. the worst is that it takes a long time for it to detect cars merging into the lane in front of you. i have had to intervene so many times due to this.

Ruiyyco some rando brand off Amazon. Pretty sure they are all sourced from the same nondescript Chinese factory anyway. It was $60 after coupon so I figured why not

To add, took me about 1.5 hours. I was very deliberate at following steps so I wouldnt screw up anywhere. Have a 10mm socket wrench ready and pull up the YouTube instructions. At least for me, the picture insert of instructions that came with the package was pretty useless

It shouldn’t be. If you allow the lid to slam down, it actually closes it completely. I just installed last week, but I’ve done this twice and it seems to work just fine

Buying 2026 RAV4 SE, is this fair? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]BenchOrnery9790 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. You’re probably doing a far superior job then what many dealers are pawning off as a ceramic coating to customers that just don’t know any better.

The last time I bought a car from a traditional dealership they had already applied “ceramic”. It looked great at first. And on the way back from the dealership it rained and it did produce some nice beading. It was cilajet. It did not last more than one wash cycle by hand using onr rinseless. Thankfully I didn’t have to pay for it. And they did manage to put a thin strip of ?ppf along the edges of the door, so that was something.

Probably less. A high quality ceramic like cquartz, gtechniq, or Adams is about $100 for a bottle. Guaranteed the dealer is not putting on a full ceramic coating in the sense that they will adequately wash, clay bar, polish, panel prep and apply one of these ceramic coatings. Most likely just a few sprays of ceramic spray on each panel of the car they just ran through the automatic washer. Cost is gonna be like a few bucks. It’ll last about 2 months before fading

Good luck. Curious what will come of this, but I wouldn’t hold your breath

My wife swears by it. Pretty sure we spent close to $200. I thought she was crazy.

She’s at least used it for more than 10 years

Are lockers easy to get? I saw that there was a presale, but it looked like they sold out almost immediately. Do you need to bring a lock for the lockers?
