How to get a Tesla Referral Link for a Discount on a new car

Tesla is currently running a referral program that gives the buyer of a new Tesla up to $500 discount, plus 3 months trial of FSD (Full Self Driving). Each person who has a Tesla account (and the Tesla app) has a unique referral link in the app that can be used to get the discount. The referrer gets credits that can be used to purchase Tesla merchandise or upgrades. Ask friends or family if they either own a Tesla or at least have a Tesla account and then get their referral link. Have your friend tap the profile picture in the Tesla app, then select "Refer and Earn" and then tap "Refer Now" to have them send the link to you. In case you don't know anybody who has a referral link, you can use mine: https://ts.la/lutz13571

You just click that link to select, configure and order your Tesla. You can even buy a discounted car from the inventory and the referral discount will be added on top of the other discount. Pretty cool.

Another Price Reduction for Model Y

Beginning of a new quarter and Tesla has reduced prices for Model 3 and Model Y (again). The Long Range Model Y is $2,000 cheaper and now costs $48,490 (before it was $50,490). Again, with a potential IRA federal tax credit of $7,500 this gets close to $40k for a medium sized luxury SUV. Tesla also introduced a new RWD (rear wheel drive) Model Y with 270 miles of range for $43,990. With the tax credit this moves towards $35k. Prices were also reduced for the Model 3.  Well, just like many others, I bought my Model Y at a higher price a while back. But I consider this as something that was expected. For one, Tesla tries to make the cars cheaper so that more people can afford an EV, and second, new technology (remember iPhone) is first more expensive with prices coming down over time. Well, Apple seems to go the other way now, since more phones cost close to $1,000, but that is a different story. So, since I have bought my Model Y for the long-term (10 years) I don't worry too much a...

Cargo Liner for Tesla Model Y trunk

Because I have to transport stuff for my work, I decided to get a cargo liner for the trunk of my Model Y. It is kind of funny and similar to a phone case - you have this beautiful iPhone (machined and polished metal and glass) and then you cover it with plastic case. But I have to say that the cargo liner is not just protecting the cargo area, but also it makes it so much easier to clean the trunk. You can just remove the cargo liner, fold it up, and then "empty it out". The dirt, sand and other debris just falls out when you shake it a bit. Then you just put it back. You can also vacuum on a flat surface if necessary.  How did I decide on the cargo liner? Well, I looked a the Tesla accessory vendors (Tesmanian, Teslarati, EV Base, etc.) and also at Amazon. When comparing I was looking at size, material, 60/40 split and price. I was aiming for a price of less than $100. Amazon had low price offerings, but they seemed a bit flimsy.  Other vendors were more expensive. By readi...

Autopilot on Tesla Model Y - first drive

After owning my Tesla Model Y for thee weeks, I finally go to try the Autopilot feature. Autopilot consists of two major features: Traffic Aware Cruise Control: This is similar to the cruise control that I had with my Honda, but it automatically speeds up and slows down the car based on traffic. In order to activate this feature you pull down the gear selector stalk once. You can adjust the max speed through the little scroll wheel on the steering wheel. You turn off by pulling the stalk upwards or braking.  Autosteer: This assists with steering in a clearly marked lane (freeway or highway) and works with traffic aware cruise control. You pull down the stalk twice, then you hear a sound and you see blue lane lines. Again, turning off with brake or pulling stalk upwards. Well, I first read articles about this, then I watched Youtube videos. But when you actually use it, it feels amazing and scary at the same time. The car stays in the lane by itself and does a pretty good job. Howev...
