Tesla. Bundles, discounts, buyouts and referrals/loyalty

This is a pretty solid new package offer from Tesla.

The relevant fine print is:

Cannot be added post-delivery. Non-transferrable and not available for commercially used vehicles. US only. Price reduced to $2,000 with purchase of Full Self-Driving (Supervised) for the life of the vehicle

In any case, amounts to the cheapest FSD offer yet.

But you still have to drive it.

If you drive a lot or are semi/full nomadic, it could be worth something.

That being said, thereā€™s probably a reason why theyā€™re not offering it on the cybertruck, a vehicle where you could probably make it worth the whileā€¦

This entire thread should be moved to the landfill, since Tesla FSD is supervised garbage.

At 12K miles a year the super charging is worth around $4300 at Tesla rates, in which case you are getting FSD for $700. My single car average is closer to 15K. With the EA crack down, not alot of free charging offers left. The problem is the rest of the TCO calculation is garbage with a Model S.

Failed student driving.

My Y has it (transferred over), never use it.

I still donā€™t see how you sell high quality BMW every day with brilliant driving dynamics, interior refinement, DAPP that actually works, and amazing styling as long as you donā€™t look at the grille.

Then you tolerate being in a Tesla as your daily.

Itā€™d be like one of Gordon Ramsayā€™s chefs eating Little Caesarā€™s ready made pizzas every day.

Some folks like to punish themselves

It may be a @li8625 skill-issue where he canā€™t negotiate a deal for himself on a BMW :thinking:

Ooooo if they grab Elon for Drug use, how much will it cost to get him out?

Iā€™m dubious as to how many people this is supposed to appeal to.

The Venn diagram of people rich enough to buy an S or X without worrying about the depreciation and frugal enough to eke out every last penny from free supercharging must be a tiny amount of overlap.

Frankly itā€™s more useful as a lifetime benefit. Iā€™d kick it up to 5 years on the MX and call it the S179 special. :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Some people still did not know that lease exist LOL

Iā€™m surprised anybody leases when you consider financial advisors and Trusted LeaseHackrs tell people how dumb it is to enter into a car lease when the lessee actually finds a car they want to drive. Based on LH, a new user would takeaway that the only ā€œsmartā€ leases are hacked up fart cars, rotted lot anchors, unwanted close-outs, and trash EV bargain bins that will be turned over in 60 days before the electronics shit the bed (@z0lt3c -style).

Whenā€™s the last time you tried FSD? The latest 12.5 is pretty nice. My daily driver is a BMW iX and itā€™s the best car Iā€™ve ever had and until I upgraded to FSD 12.5 I thought BMWā€™s Highway Assistant was the best ADAS system. But the quality leap with 12.5 is pretty drastic.

You are correct though, that after riding my Model S using FSD for a few hours, Iā€™m so happy to get back to my BMW iX smooth suspension and best-in-class NVH!!

The last time I personally sat in a car that had FSD was 2019. The guy who owned that Model S was constantly intervening because thereā€™d be weird potholes he was dodging, or the car was beginning to try and to turn left when we felt it wasnā€™t really safe to do so.

I subsequently bought two Teslas that didnā€™t have FSD, and smartly disposed of them when I realized they sucked, but the Elon-wannabie service teams sucked more.

My tongue in cheek reference is that todayā€™s FSD is still an oxymoronic ā€œsupervised self drivingā€.

I still donā€™t trust it.

It isnā€™t all THers but just a few that do this and dump on seemingly every lease deal proposed or made. Completely ridiculous.

Talk about a violation of the ToS/T&C of LHerā€¦

And now, welcome back referral program.

Tesla brings back referral program and $1,000 off its electric cars | Electrek

The new program provides a $500 incentive the referrer can apply to ā€œanyā€ tesla product including vehicle purchase and service. Thatā€™s an improvement over the point system and limited referral shop.

And Iā€™m back. DM me about to discuss compensation!
