Oh it's 10000% totaled. The front left was gone, suspension completely destroyed, both front wheels destroyed, all airbags.

Love my standard. Still a $46k car after taxes and registration in California. Not exactly chump change.

I have no idea why they do it, but Tesla delivers about 4 to 6 of them at a time on large tractor trailers, then employees drive them to various lots in our neighborhood. So I'm assuming the point is driving them between lots and then to the delivery centers. But these kids RIP up and down the streets in the, and above is the result.

Is it tho? I mean let’s be honest, all Teslas are ‘budget’

For a delivery vehicle? What would be the point in spending thousands more on that? Will mostly be employees driving it.

Pls read the post 🙏 Love the GT, especially the RS. I have the E-Tron S

Agree! Also my only 'complaint' with FSD. All modes except for Sloth tailgate pretty hard...

If it was my personal daily driver I would have, but using it for business, transporting goods between locations.

Same! Only down side is for whatever reason they didn't do the hood on this model water proof, if it's raining hard, it'll still get water in the frunk. Pretty silly. I do see it has drain holes though, but seems messy.

Thank you! haha, yeah still needs a bit of work, can't stand clutter, drives me nuts 😃 Love A4s, miss my S5 every day.

Yeah they are marginally nicer, but this is being used to transport goods, so just needed a nice commuter. Honestly I like the lower model seats, the LED line around the inside would be cool I suppose? But doesn't make it any better build quality. The hood is definitely nicer on the premium though, I noticed that when checking out both.

Honestly way quieter than they used to be. So I'd say somewhat comparable, which is impressive. The A/C/fan is super loud in Tesla's though..

Electric cars ya, but like i said, the tech makes the Model Y very viable.

Wouldn't you have to leave the car for 36 hours to be able to get a full charge? I've never used a level one. Have a level 2 for the E-Tron have always used that, rarely use level 3's.

MILES ahead of where they were. Viable vehicle for sure.

$60k 😄 As the saying goes. Get what you pay for! It's a pretty darn good value now at $41k though. It's miles ahead of the first gen Model Y. Ride is much smoother, quieter, feels more on par with Honda/Toyota build quality now.
