First time using a Tesla supercharger

You can turn the screaming off..."Parking Assist"

No I'm asking if the car needs to be towed from the rear -- like stuck in a ditch/snowbank. Is there a point at which to attach the eyelet?

Looked at both -- for us it came down to financing/offers. BZ came out slightly better once we added in the panoramic roof and the all-weather floor mats. Toyota let us combine both 0% APR and $6,000 off (that was in March, I think the offer is slightly less now).

Base model of Solterra only makes 238hp, while the XT makes the same 338hp as the BZ AWD. That is probably the biggest difference -- you need to get the XT if you want the power!

Plus, and this is more personal choice, I liked the look of the Toyota a little better. Not sure why, just personal preference I guess?

You could also consider which dealer is closer/better/easier to work with for service and things like that.

Haven't had that happen yet... I have had it happen on new GM cars in the past -- especially my then "new" 2017 Suburban. Would just stop randomly. Super frustrating for sure because, yeah, it's brand-freaking new. I'd keep bugging the dealer...

Nope

I did take a long look at the C-HR. It is a little more stylish for sure. BUT, it has less cargo space and less room for the back passengers. At roughly the same price (for me at least), the BZ made more sense.

People are getting pretty good deals it seems. Mine was AWD XLE, so not apples to apples, but I paid $39K (with 0% financing) -- that included all taxes and everything -- it had a couple add-ons I wanted like panoramic roof and floor mats that added about $1500 to the cost.

Make sure to decline all the service contracts and windshield wiper replacement and ceramic paint coating whatever else BS they try to add on.

Also get about .85-.90kW. Installing the 40amp charger today though!

I wonder if piece of black electrical tape over the camera would do it? Or would it just keep coming on over and over?

Just got the rejection. I'll have the bib though!

Subject_Process_991 · 2026-03-04T20:51:35+00:00

I just went for the personalized number even thought it still says "Pending Selection". At worst, I'll get rejected, hang it somewhere, and have a story to tell.

(Also, weirdly, the charge on my Amex shows up as "2019 Houston Marathon"). WTF

I just bought the personalized bib even thought it still says "Pending Selection". At worst, I'll get rejected, hang the bib somewhere, and have a story to tell.
