I see your point now. So, this is really more about opportunity cost since Optimus is part of their core focus in the next few years, and building a new production facility is very costly. Per NBCNEWS.com "Tesla is de-emphasizing traditional cars in favor of Robotaxi/Cybercab, Optimus, Semi...

The tax credit drove sales for Tesla, which generates profits. Since they ended, sales have dropped, and their profit, so now they have to cut costs anywhere they can to drive shareholder value. In other words, cut S & X production to drive profits up since S & X did not contribute much to...

I think this is all related to the EV tax credit non-renewal. Tesla has no choice but to cut costs, so S & X are gone, which was a tough choice. It will clearly concern existing owners, but Tesla can still support the platforms and is likely to do so for at least the next 10 years. CT may go the...

Tailgating at 65 in Sloth, Chill, Standard, and Hurry is less than 1.5 car lengths lately. I constantly have to dissengage, complain, fall back 200 ft, and reengage over my weekly 105 mile trip from Fort Lauderdale to Naples.

I had it tinted. Added IR Max 50 to factory roof-glass at AWT in Boynton, which cut IR by around 98%. Tesla said they could not replace the tint or credit.

Same here. 8 to 14 hour days, 200 miles average per day, West of civilization in Port St. Lucie, Florida for underground fiber optic cable installations. I did an inside roof-glass mount with a lightweight metal frame with two powerful suction cups suitable for the task with warning indicators...

I usually charge via 240 VAC @ 24A at home. Then, while charging, current goes to zero, and message appears on dash and App indicating a charging issue. I try to unplug and cannot, and notice charging LED near NACS connector is dead. I use emergency disco procedure in manual (easy). Book...

It's gotten so bad here in Florida, that our Florida Highway Patrol gave me a "self-report" form to handle the incident when I got "barely" hit on my rear bumper while sitting in traffic on the Florida Turnpike. I wasn't even moving, but the guy behind me hit me anyway while trying to change...

I had the unfortunate event of losing my charger controller last week while charging at home. I arrived home at 28%, plugged into one of my two chargers in my garage (I also have a Model YP), and less than an hour later, I checked the app for no particular reason, only to see "Charging Stopped"...

From what I remember here in Florida, your Drivers License is a permit, which means there are stipulations and responsibilities in place on the holder of the permit. This includes liability for property damage and injury. This is why driving off without calling the local Police is not the...

The day I returned a loaner vehicle (2021 Model Y Performance) while my CT was at the SC, I noticed my Navigation Favorites list was empty on both my personal 2022 Model YP and my 2024 CT CB. I, of course, use the same driver profile for each vehicle, and did the same with the loaner. Even...

Make sure Camp Mode is not enabled also. Some people do this to keep interior cool in ultra-hot climates, i.e. Me. My garage will easily top 100F by 2pm. Working on an exhaust fan option, or a heat-pump instead of an electric-coil hot water heater.

100% agree. I had mine repaired the the TCC in Fort Lauderdale last month, and nothing short of 1st class handling of my repair. The TCC is Tesla, and people need to know this. They are set up specifically for these types of repairs and nobody else really is at the end of the day. Maybe they...

I use both types of car washes, no issues whatsoever after seven months.

Seems moisture could get trapped between the two horizontal beads based on your photos. Mine was installed in Oct '24, with no issues. They kept my truck for a few days. I know the director of the SC near my house, who was relocated from Texas at the plant to clean house at his new SC. He was...

FYI. I just had mine replaced after it was impacted by the driver behind me while we were at a red light. The tailgate itself, if it needs to be replaced, is $2,850 from Tesla Collision service centers, at least the one in Fort Lauderdale. His insurance company paid for all the repair costs...

I was hit by another driver while stopped, but my repair included a new tailgate, which was $1,800. See my post for a copy of the written estimate from the other driver's company. I took my CT to Tesla Collission in Fort Lauderdale and they handled everything...

Update: The driver's insurance company covered 100% of the repair, which was $3,329.84 (tailgate, bumper, and tow hitch cover, including all labor). I thought it would be more, but then again, there is no paint, and CTs are American-made.

Can confirm!

And easy way to remember and to let muscle memory take over is down on a stalk is in the same direction you turn the steering wheel, which is the same for which button to press (down). Right turns are all the same, except reversed, clockwise, and up, etc. The problem with stalks is you have to...
