She’s probably only had problems with the doors. Tesla drivetrains tend to be very reliable it’s mainly the gimmicks that break down.

I’ve watched their videos before. Original battery, original motors.

When my Tesla needed service I booked it on the app and they came to me. It's been rare and my 2017 P100DL is going strong.

Usually with these 5500lb cars, the main thing that goes are suspension related, like controller arm or what not. Powertrain wise Tesla can last for like 200k miles plus

I'm thinking of purchasing one, How's the screen holding up? does it feel laggy, and unresponsive or is it smooth?

Other options out there,,, finally.

Yeah he definitely seems to be more critical than usual lately. I noticed the same. I think they’re just the standard so anything another car/automakers does better tesla is immediately brought up and questioned why they don’t do it as well. Even with the price increases I still think they’re all great cars. The next couple years will be interesting to see how well tesla holds on to its lead

Yeah my same reaction. Good I’m glad the cars ok after 100k miles. But 100k miles is nothing these days. Even cars that aren’t known to be the most reliable can last 200k with a little maintenance

I think the word you're looking for is well-off

the new model x and s refreshes have their screen integrated into the dash too.

Not only are the new S/X screens more integrated than the 3/Y screens... they pivot too!

I'm in no rush to give up my vertical screen.

@@OurTeslaModelXJourney We still have our original early-2013 Model S, but the vertical screen used to be a LOT more useable when you can stack any 2 apps vertically... Now, we're forced to have the map at the top, which is my preferred configuration in most situations anyways, but definitely not all the time... I guess that makes the move to a horizontal screen less jarring when our new X comes later this year. I don't know how the new horizontal S/X screen UI works, but in my Model 3, not being able to see the map and another app at the same time is a bummer..

@@ken830 I too was disappointed when they forced the map. I used to leave the web browser up with a photographic picture celebrating a holiday, special occasion, or just a photograph I was proud of. I can still put it up, but it keeps disappearing so much it's not worth it.

Same, I love the model X but I’d legitimately get an aftermarket steering wheel if I ever got it lol. I like the idea in theory but it realistically should just be an option, not a mandatory feature

You can buy an aftermarket steering wheel for less than $500

Yup. Aftermarket steering wheels is the way to go with these. T Sportline makes some really nice wheels, designed to replace the Tesla Yoke, so all functionality remains (aside from heated steering wheel, for some reason). They are on the more expensive side, but they're purpose built, with all the buttons, fit in with the car design wise, and are simply made really nicely.

well it's lithium ion tech which isnt tht new so maybe researching general battery physics wld answer ur questions

Yes at least for regular solar lithium ion batteries the degradation is quite linear and predictable.

plenty of studies on this out there. The bulk of the degradation happens < 20k miles then it flattens out for a very long time.

In the older Model X, you could option for a 6 Seater with a Center Console.

Most likely haven't had to change brakes, max once. Probably the 3rd set of tires maybe newly on the 4th if they didn't get good mileage on the first set from the factory.

Breaks should be zero right .. but tires should be more than equivalent weight class ICE car

Brakes are factory. We're getting between 25K and 30K on a set of tires. We are into the 3rd set we've put on. First time back to the original factory tires. Tried Pirelli which got more miles but sounded louder. Back to Continental factory now.

@@OurTeslaModelXJourney thanks!

@@Steve_Dyer_ No PPF or ceramic coatings on Ruby. Don washes her at least twice a month and does touch-up cleaning in-between with a California duster and No Rinse Wash and Shine.

The Y is built with significantly lower quality. That's probably why.

@@snakeeyes9246 Well I would agree with you based on the battery, but I think it's not as simple. The build quality of the car itself is arguably better, but the battery cells were their latest and greatest. Maybe it's the lower Cobalt used in those cells. Maybe its the fact that it supercharges more than twice as fast as the X.

Did you consider that the degradation isn't liner? (More degradation first, then less)

@@rolandkertesz4196 Yes, most of the Y's degradation was in the first 10K miles, but its at about the same now as my Model S was at 160K

I guess the fact that the CEO of Tesla is friends with a person who tried to overthrow democracy and hates American workers doesn't matter.

@@sprockketsMy comment had nothing to do with politics or anyone personally. I very much dislike Trump, all of the unnecessary drama, and his horrendous position and policies related to human activity accelerated climate change, but if you're going to spread misinformation about Elon, then you're part of the problem, not solution.

@@ken830 Fact: Elon wants Trump back on Twitter because banning him was in his own words, "morally wrong". Fact: Elon Musk started looking into buying Twitter because of banning babylon bee over a transphobic tweet, of which they could have deleted to not be banned. Fact: multiple allegations of racism in Tesla's factories were validated. So remember that next time you want to buy another Tesla and who you support.

​@@sprockkets First of all, where's your, "Fact: CEO of Tesla is friends with [Trump]"?! That's right. You're just making that up or drawing conclusions based on incomplete information. Your first "fact" stating "Elon wants Trump back on Twitter" is not a proven fact. In fact, if you actually listen to what he has said publicly about the matter, you'd know he was more nuanced than a sound bite -- That he thought it was "morally wrong" (his personal opinion) and that it was a bad move for the the country because it ultimately "alienated a large part of the country and did not ultimately result in Donald Trump not having a voice." My opinion? Elon doesn't like Trump, but he really doesn't like Twitter perma-banning anyone. I will admit I personally cheered when they banned Trump and I had hoped he'd be banned on all platforms, but I knew it wasn't actually a long-term solution and I personally have no idea what the best way would be to handle the situation, but I do see Elon's point... it has likely further divided the two sides and made it impossible to interact on the Twitter platform. And not interacting is the worse thing you can do if you want to develop empathy between two sides. An example of this: I don't like interacting with you here on KZfaq... and I would personally wish that you were banned... but I don't think that's the right thing to do. And I wouldn't do anything to have you banned either. Not sure what the point of your second fact was. I think Elon was concerned about permanent bans on the platform... not that he condones their views and tweets. And your 3rd "fact" isn't really a fact.. Look at any large company and I'll 100% guarantee you'll find among the thousands of employees and contractors that someone will have behaved in a manner that is racists... or pretty much any behavior associated within the general population. It still doesn't mean Elon condones it. And not only is there no proof that Elon is racist, there's no hint or indication that he is. You're just making stuff up in your head. I grew up in San Francisco and have lived in the Bay Area my entire life and although I feel like I am a moderate, I think a lot of people from across our country would label my views as "liberal". I feel 100% comfortable with my moral compass in my support for Tesla's mission, SpaceX's mission, and Elon. He and his companies have done more to change the trajectory of history for the better than anyone else in modern history. By far, the single biggest problem facing humanity is rapid climate change -- this affects every single living organism on this planet. Tesla is a massive force for the better on that front. And SpaceX is playing a huge, positive role in national security (while saving us a shit-ton of money for launches) and inspiring everyone to strive for a better world. I don't agree with him on a lot of things, but I don't find too much to object with... kind of like the way I feel about most normal people personally. Unless you know them personally and intimately, you should really listen more and learn more about a person (I've watched every Elon interview and read every Tweet , but you don't have to take it nearly as far) before you demonize them based on a very limited set of (arguably false and/or manipulated) information you're getting 2nd- or 3rd-hand. An example of this: I don't like you based on your last 2 KZfaq comments.... but that's a very limited view of you as a person. I'm pretty sure that if we were to actually meet face-to-face and get to know each other, I'd probably find you're just a normal, reasonable, person -- prone to jumping to conclusion with limited amount of information... like pretty much anyone else (myself included) I'd meet in this world. And if you're still somehow so misguided that you're avoiding Tesla vehicles, then please suggest an alternative. How about the second-largest EV manufacturer? That's VW... The same VW that was cheating on emissions (which directly and indirectly caused thousands of deaths while causing irreversible environmental damage) for years and blatantly lied to and misled authorities to delay exposure to their cheating. Now that's an ACTUAL FACT. And for this, I feel they deserved to be bankrupt, but instead they got a minor slap on the wrist and was forced to spend a few billion dollars to convert to EVs and fund the Electrify America charging network... That's a reward, not a punishment.... Wonderful.. now every other EV manufacturer benefits from this horrendous, unforgiveable act by the VW leadership. I want there to be consequences when companies actually behave so egregiously. This is why I will not support VW or any EV manufacturer that greatly depends on the EA network. And you shouldn't either.

@@ken830 Lol, keep justifying your decision. How sad. He said those words in quotes but you then say that's my opinion. Then you go on and on about how it was bad he was banned, when literally overnight, 70% of misinformation went away. The fact that you think that letting people do that and that Elon is right, says it all. "An example of this: I don't like interacting with you here on KZfaq... and I would personally wish that you were banned... but I don't think that's the right thing to do. And I wouldn't do anything to have you banned either." And that's because no one violated the TOS unlike trump. "And your 3rd "fact" isn't really a fact.. Look at any large company and I'll 100% guarantee you'll find among the thousands of employees and contractors that someone will have behaved in a manner that is racists... or pretty much any behavior associated within the general population. It still doesn't mean Elon condones it. " Name one other company who has a history of doing this AND ignoring the issue. Name also another company who has OSHA violations like the Tesla Nevada plant and who also did NOT let regulators in to check. "He and his companies have done more to change the trajectory of history for the better than anyone else in modern history. By far, the single biggest problem facing humanity is rapid climate change -- this affects every single living organism on this planet. Tesla is a massive force for the better on that front." Not really. He wants us dependant on Teslas in his stupid boring tunnels. That's not a solution and is not what this country needs. "And if you're still somehow so misguided that you're avoiding Tesla vehicles, then please suggest an alternative." Anyone else. And yes, other companies are not our friends, but I'm sure as heck not going to support an egotistical sociopath who is transphobic, lies, and then rubs everyone's face in it.

@@PeteLenz oh really. Ok cool well I live more in the Kissimmee hunters Creek area. An I don't see any here

You are about right on the charging time for a round trip. However, just looking at one way tho' - using approx 1,300 mi (NYC to Miami) , It would only likely be around 4 hrs additional for charging, BUT with a gas car even driving hard, you would likely have to stop 2 times for gas (+bathroom stops) for at least 1 to 1.5 hrs. So, yes it means maybe 2.5 to 3 additional hrs. Are you in that big of a hurry? Plus you would save over $100 in gas vs electricity (not counting reduced vehicle maint). If you plan to stop and get something to eat ( and charge) at least a couple of times, this makes it even less of a difference or a big deal. Just something to think about.

when driving? she said it's the alert for driving over the speed limit.

Teslas are expensive but it's best to review total cost of ownership. From their channel I know they use Time of Use electricity and charge off peak. So cost per mile around 2 cents or less. Gas is around 16 cents right now. That difference over 100k miles is $14k (granted gas hasn't been that high the whole time). They also got the full $7,500 tax incentive. Add in oil changes, brakes, the occasional belts & hoses, radiator flush, trans service, and other maintenance. Add in one major mechanical issue and you're easily $25k in savings over 100k miles. Thing is you have to pay upfront and it is a lot for most people.

What year mercedes model gas or diesel?

Autailors

I'm guessing 2 of the last 5 years were pandemic lock down years? I don't know... I haven't watched their vlog... but, 3/5ths of 1,700 is just about 1,000 days... times 100 miles, and you get 100,000 miles. Approximately.

The 100+ miles a day are Monday - Friday school days. Also, we lost a year+ to COVID or Ruby would be closer to 125,000 now.

Poorest state in the Union is why. Highest rate of plug share locations in the USA though. They are everywhere in VT. Look it up.

Uhhh... no.

Well, she did say she'd buy an X again or any Tesla. That's good info right there.

As much as I'd like for Teslas to be more affordable; due to recent economical changes to EV battery materials increasing in price and gas prices going up causing some people to buy an EV increasing demand, doesn't seem very plausible. Does Elon Musk have the ability to lower pricing, sure but what what cost. The company would probably go under, no more Tesla's, no more supercharger network and all the people saying Tesla couldn't go far would be proven right. All EVs are not affordable, but neither is any ICE car. I do think electric cars are the future, but battery technology/materials are not cheap. Hopefully pricing will go down as more of the vehicle market is EV, unsure when that will actually happen, but I'm hopeful that pricing would be more affordable. I think saying Musk doesn't care about the future is far out there. Though I don't agree with everything he's done, I do think he cares for his fellow humans. EVs have not been the only vehicle that has gone up in pricing, ICE cars have also seen an increase

Teslas are a premium car in addition to being an EV, so they are pricey. There are other choices at much less the cost of a Tesla with more coming on line. With enough time, more manufacturers will be making EVs and you'll see the price drop and the charging infrastructure improve. Regarding Musk, Tesla has spent a metric shitload of money to develop the new engineering required of EVs and did so for years before they even sold their first car. Makes sense they will sell high-content cars to regroup their investment.

Karen or Vicky should be especially cringe worthy.
