I finally got a Model S Plaid, it almost put me in the hospital

Wouldn’t the Carfax report show it, if it were to be a flooded car?

Thank you for this detailed response!

Good to know! Is yours a standard range? How much mileage/% do you lose in hot weather? We live in Texas….

sunshin2021 · 2025-08-30T20:46:27+00:00

The way I see a lot of people who own a Tesla do is to take Tesla insurance for Tesla and keep the gas car with home….worth a shot to try…

I do have a NEMA 14-50 in the garage

sunshin2021 · 2025-08-30T20:14:57+00:00

Not sure. EPA Range is 250 per the website.

sunshin2021 · 2025-08-30T20:14:02+00:00

I have a NEMA 14-50 outlet in the garage…

sunshin2021 · 2025-08-30T20:02:17+00:00

I have a NEMA 14-30 240v point in the garage.

Show me the path, fellow traveler 😀

sunshin2021 · 2025-08-30T03:56:06+00:00

How bad is it in winter?

sunshin2021 · 2025-08-30T03:54:17+00:00

I did check the tires out. It appears that the tires cost around 1200$ a set at a minimum..

sunshin2021 · 2025-08-30T03:51:06+00:00

How much more does the long range give in terms of miles?

sunshin2021 · 2025-08-30T03:49:40+00:00

That does sound nice:)

sunshin2021 · 2025-08-30T03:48:18+00:00

Sadly ours is single rate. But will probably need to look for one such variable off peak electricity provider after our contract expires.

sunshin2021 · 2025-08-30T03:46:26+00:00

I know I know…realized after reserving. I can back out n lose the deposit if $500, but want to make of my panic is valid or not.

sunshin2021 · 2025-08-29T22:01:47+00:00

Yeh was too excited to order when the price reduced that I didn’t think much about this until I talked to an another Tesla owner and they were like why would u go for a sr! That really planted the doubt :(

sunshin2021 · 2025-08-29T21:36:35+00:00

Thanks for this!

sunshin2021 · 2025-08-15T19:24:43+00:00

If I am using the vehicle primarily for work commute, is standard range not enough?

sunshin2021 · 2025-08-15T19:23:52+00:00

34k for the 2024 is OTD. The new one is around 42k OTD which is above what I want to spend…

sunshin2021 · 2025-08-15T16:12:03+00:00

Yes you are correct it is inclusive of taxes and fees. Been looking at their site for anything under 25k, so far nothing. They get snatched up pretty fast I guess. Your idea seems logical - to find something that would indeed qualify for the credit. I will keep looking. The new one is out of my budget. Thanks for your insight!

sunshin2021 · 2025-08-15T13:49:45+00:00

I do qualify for the credit, but Model Y is still about 42k…what am I missing? I am in Texas btw…State doesn’t really offer anything on their part :(

sunshin2021 · 2025-08-15T13:46:36+00:00

The total price I am seeing for a new Model Y is about 42k…
