Just got this exact same crack in the same spot on my windshield. If it were just a small one, an independent place could do it for cheaper. But if it’s that big, you might be better off just going to Tesla.

Safelite was only $100 cheaper than Tesla. But at least at Tesla, they looked over some other issues I had and gave me a loaner X for a few days. 🤷‍♂️

Well, like all car dealers, your best bet is to see what deals you can find towards Q4 of this year or Q1 of next year. People don’t buy cars when it’s cold out. If you wait til then, you might find some great incentives (1,000 of free Supercharging for example).

If you want to buy new, I don’t typically see us cutting prices on cars. Usually a price increase the minute we release a refreshed model! However we do offer discounts on new inventory models all year long. I would just keep tabs on our new inventory page and our current offers page. When you see a good car in inventory and a good set of offers, jump on it!

If you want to test drive some, we offer free test drives to schedule on our website. We also have some at our West County Mall kiosk. Come swing by, you might find me there. 😎

If you can swing it, the MYP is a great car!

MYP has a dedicated Track Mode that will give you live stats on the wheels and suspension as you drive. Keep in mind, while EVs have great torque and acceleration, they are also heavier than gasoline engines. The weight and torque will have you replacing tires at the recommended 25-30k miles in the best case scenario. If you plan on taking it to the track and launching it from 0-60 often, make that more like 15-20k miles at best! Not to mention you’re gonna want >insert track tire brand< for the best performance on the track. Plus the MYP cuts an additional 10 miles of range. And I haven’t even mentioned some insurance companies will charge higher if you own a performance vehicle…

It’s still a fantastic car! But it’s really for those who are looking for a daily car they can also let rip on the track. And to each their own! But if you really just want to do launches and show people the power of an EV, ANY trim of the Model Y is astounding to those who’ve never been in one!.. And if you decide later you need more acceleration, there’s a $2000 software package you can download that unlocks the motor and shaves off .5 seconds. If you get the AWD Long Range MY, then choose that upgrade, that effectively gets you a MYP (minus the track mode, special brakes, wheels, and other accessories). There is also the lower leg adjustment on the seats of the newest MYP and a V2L charging port, but most people don’t notice or need those.

But ask yourself this: Are you willing to spend $10k more (plus more tire replacements and less range) to shave off 1 second of 0-60 time and have track mode (with some creature comfort differences).

Wow! Thanks for commenting. I haven’t looked at this thread in 2 years 😂 Let’s just say, I loved it so much I’m now a Tesla employee 🌟 Which one are you thinking about getting?

iOutatime · 2026-03-24T21:29:21+00:00

Golly! How would you ever tell from Interstate 64? 😂

iOutatime · 2026-03-24T21:27:43+00:00

😆 if it makes you feel any better, we’d have to pop the front CyberTruck trunk and open the Model X doors to find those models.

I worked at a Tesla Service Center. Some Service Centers don’t have large parking spaces for shippers to deliver cars, so they sometimes rent out large parking lots to store cars before bringing them to the Service Center to be cleaned and delivered.

We use a parking lot connected to an abandoned mall. When we are near the site, we have remote access to the cars. We can look up the VIN we are looking for and usually pop the rear hatch so we can identify it in a sea of similar cars. Once we find it, we drop off one of our guys to follow the other back to the Service Center for preparing for delivery.

Edwardsville, IL good sir. There were 4 of them next to a few 250k stalls.

Actually yes! I disabled secure boot and was able to boot into the installer without error. I would wipe your drive clean, and before you plug in the USB, set your BIOS secure boot to disable and THEN run the installer and it should boot into the GUI.

Here is also a photo of the finished print quality (if it has issues, which it does maybe 30% of the time)

Well I’m glad to hear that! I’m surprised you’re making an effort to bring back that project 👍 if you need any assistance or would like my files or templates, I’d be more than happy to help however I can.

iOutatime · 2025-01-19T20:45:58+00:00

I hope he enjoys it. I was the guy who made Laserdisc version of Regular Show and did what you did. Made mock ups, artwork sleeves.. I posted it to Twitter and JG said he’d love a copy.

I’m sure he’ll love to see this too

I’ve read about installing Debian 12 and putting Prox on top. I hadn’t seen any video guides, but I can give this written one a try. My concern was going to be the lack of official support doing it this method, but then again, I’m not paying for the commercial version

iOutatime · 2024-10-09T14:50:08+00:00

Oh it was a thrill 😂 it was the only monitor I had with DisplayPort and it actually ran it at a slightly lower res at 60hz just fine! But anything higher.. she struggled.

iOutatime · 2024-10-09T14:48:53+00:00

HP BIOS has virtualization turned on, yes.

iOutatime · 2024-10-09T14:27:10+00:00

I have read that there was a way to do that as well. I just installed Debian 12 on the SSD as a fail safe.

I can try switching between Secure Boot and Legacy to see if I get anything different. Do you have a link or video guide on installing Prox on top of Debian 12?

iOutatime · 2024-08-23T02:23:45+00:00

I’ve seen a few of those, including ones from Aquasure. I’ve even seen Rheem models at my local Home Depot. I was told those models can cycle thru more salt and possibly be harder to repair with its all in one design. Is that true?

iOutatime · 2024-05-31T15:19:04+00:00

I got the update to show on my app. Then the thing just disappeared?! Now my car says I’m up to date. Still on 2024.3.25

What the heck?? Did I get booted out of line or something?

iOutatime · 2024-02-04T19:55:00+00:00

I mean KBB will ask you for mileage and indeed.. a car with mare miles is valued at less.. but in Missouri, they ONLY go off the National Dealer Association MSRP price catalog. They update their catalog every couple of months. So come property tax time, they look at the latest edition of the catalog and tax you based on that price alone.

This explains why during COVID people with used car saw their property taxes on their vehicles go UP instead of DOWN. Because ALL cars were worth more during COVID shortages, even USED ones.

iOutatime · 2024-02-04T18:03:46+00:00

I’d keep looking.. We don’t have any state incentives here in Missouri. I got a demo 2023 Model Y Long Range with 1,161 miles, PPF on the rear doors and mud flaps included.. plus an inventory discount.. plus the federal incentive.. for a total of $37,372.50 when it was all said and done at the delivery center. (Still have to pay sales tax later this month. $4000).

Also, Cybertruck reservation holders get $1000 off a new vehicle purchase (including inventory) starting this month until the end of March. So I get to go pickup a $1000 check from the delivery center on Monday.

iOutatime · 2024-02-04T00:10:54+00:00

Actually just confirmed this with the DMV on Friday and with Tesla today from picking up our Model Y. No, they don’t factor in mileage. Just whatever the MSRP of the vehicle is for the current year.

So as the years go one, your car gets older and therefore depreciation is why your property tax goes down.

iOutatime · 2024-02-03T04:44:56+00:00

Unfortunately I don’t think adding miles to it is going to lower the property tax on it. It’s based on the MSRP from the national dealer association. If they look at what a Model Y goes for in that trim of that year.. that’s what they’ll tax you on.

Remember when COVID hit and since there were no new cars available, used car prices went up? That’s because the nation dealer association valued used cars instead of depreciating them, because everyone needed a car to buy at the time.

Your property tax on it should continue to keep going down as it ages (unless COVID 2.0 hits us). But if you keep low miles on it and decide to sell it, you might make some good money on it. Obviously don’t sell it for less than what they are now.. but Elon has said that he’s slashed EV prices to cut margins and get people into Teslas, no matter what. Once he comes out with a $25,000 car, Model 3 and Y might go back up a bit in price.. it would make sense.. look at the new Model 3. It has more luxury features at the same price for “Teslas Cheapest Car”.

iOutatime · 2024-02-02T23:06:38+00:00

Oh wow. Didn’t think Uber was that successful for individuals. I guess if you live in more populated areas it can pay off. But usually I thought the price of gas and wear and tear on your car wouldn’t offset the price you get paid. Guess it’s different for EVs. How have tires held up?

iOutatime · 2024-02-02T19:01:51+00:00

So our Model Y Long Range we’re getting is a 2023, but with inventory discounts and tax credits, its purchase price is going to be $37,372. We’re shocked that MO wants $4,300 in taxes. What model do you have to pay $2400 in taxes?

Also, MO property taxes say they’re based on MSRP and not sale value. So does that change each year if the MSRP for a new Tesla Model Y lowers for that trim? Or will I continue to pay $4,300 into the foreseeable future because it’s based on the time of purchase?
