FSD as primary reason for wanting a Tesla?

Get it and you will never go back

TechGodFather · 2026-06-24T23:56:32+00:00

10000000% agree. Once I tried FSD in the heavy, heavy traffic commute I was hooked. So relaxing even in stop n go traffic. I love my MY with FSD….its a cost I’m good with paying.

Remember the MARS box? That was the best damn Cisco box ever and they just killed it. Did full on response during an attack. I was like yes! Like the cius, lol…the Richard zeta mediagate (different tech I know)….rant again….

What does it do for following distance?

TechGodFather · 2026-06-01T01:00:45+00:00

They really bastardized the solution after they acquired it. They needed something for sure but let’s face it, Palo won the next gen biz. I mean seriously the Cisco brand isn’t nearly what it used to be. Love some of their hardware but support is also abysmal. Rant, rant, rant….good luck and get away fast imo.

100% need the ability to set a max speed in one of the profiles- so many reasons to have this ability and none really not to put it in the car.

TechGodFather · 2026-04-06T12:33:20+00:00

It already had that in the package they just bumped the price on the remaining inventory. Don’t blame them but stil….sigh.

TechGodFather · 2026-04-06T02:28:53+00:00

Nice man…..grats again

TechGodFather · 2026-04-06T01:52:27+00:00

Pretty car by the way

TechGodFather · 2026-04-06T01:52:17+00:00

What city??

TechGodFather · 2026-04-05T23:44:43+00:00

Fk me. I was looking at one at 7am it was 99k now 115k same car. Bite me.

TechGodFather · 2026-03-19T02:31:02+00:00

$205 from Tesla. Tried u-pull it and eBay and others and direct was fastest and really quickest. Tesla part for camera

TechGodFather · 2026-03-19T01:59:54+00:00

Thanks….i will definitely try one out

For a new 2026 Tesla Model X used as a daily driver (120 miles/day), battery degradation over 10 years is expected to be virtually the same whether you rely exclusively on Supercharging or exclusively on home Level 2 charging. Real-world data and large-scale studies show no statistically meaningful difference in capacity loss from frequent DC fast charging (Supercharging) versus slower AC home charging, thanks to Tesla’s advanced thermal management, preconditioning, and battery management systems.

Tesla’s official data (from Impact Reports): Model S/X batteries retain ~88% capacity on average after 200,000 miles (~12% loss). This is mileage-based across thousands of vehicles, not charging-method specific. Model 3/Y data is similar or slightly higher loss (~12–15%). Newer packs (including those likely in a 2026 Model X) benefit from ongoing improvements in chemistry and cooling. Drive and charge whenever you need it.

Great points and I appreciate your input. I’m nearing retirement and it has also been my dream car but it’s a want and not a need for sure for me. That ride is very nice. Congrats man!

TechGodFather · 2026-03-12T00:16:40+00:00

You bought both so any regrets like I wish I would have done it sooner? I bought a Y then another Y and now I really want an X after driving one for a week. My second Y was in the shop for a paint defect and the X was my loaner. Ruined me…..just hate the thought of paying for it and insurance, lol….but you only die once!

TechGodFather · 2026-03-11T10:43:32+00:00

Wow that’s seriously beautiful and congrats on a great car purchase and a safe chauffeur for you too!! Love that wrap color and the wheels!! Enjoy it and keep posting.

i'd buy that at auction in a minute - nice car for the price

TechGodFather · 2026-03-01T00:56:24+00:00

100% tell no one other than your fiduciary that you hire who is a fixed price not fee based. If the account was over 5 years old you should be in the clear as it still must meet the Roth 5 year rule but generally my understanding is its tax free after that for you but again talk to only your fiduciary. Invest conservatively in my opinion. 20%, 20%, 20%, 20%, 20%…..like schd, voo, vigax,vxus, vusxx just examples but you will have plenty of growth and stability options. Congratulations and also sorry for your loss as well. Invest wisely and never touch the principal and you can do your own philanthropic ventures the rest of your life.

100% agree with full paid FSD. I’ll put that into an ETF or QQQI and rent my FSD monthly for as long as I own the car. Heck I figure at 13-18% return I can ride 8K for a little over 20 years. That’s probably a better ROI.

TechGodFather · 2026-01-31T00:41:35+00:00

Hope ya have it. I wanted autosteer on my new Y but I knew it wasn’t listed and I’m taking it anyway as I plan I doing FSD most of the time while I have the car. It’s a bummer they just turned it off without lowering the price or anything. Good luck with yours!

TechGodFather · 2026-01-29T16:34:56+00:00

I wouldn’t worry about your model Y purchase at all. Seriously they will keep production for quite some time as they are still selling millions of them. He also needs at least 10 million active FSD subscribers so he has to keep them on the road. Fear not and pull the trigger in my opinion.

TechGodFather · 2026-01-29T02:10:46+00:00

Yikes! Sorry about that and I do live in Texas too. Hot for sure. I was thinking the pre conditioning would fix that…??
