And wrong. I clearly said 2 year old cars aren't the issue. I was discussing cars that are the average age of cars on the road, which is 12 years old. Two years is actually probably the sweet spot. Huge discount and 6 years of warranty left.

Tesla Model Y dark Gemini wheels now standard in the U.S.
Tesla recently launched a new standard wheel for the Model Y in the U.S., after the option was spotted a few weeks ago at one of the company’s factories.
Last month, Model Y units with the dark Gemini wheels were seen outside of Tesla’s factory in Fremont, California, suggesting that the company could be launching the new option soon. As of writing, Tesla has officially dropped the former silver Gemini wheel covers from its order configurator, launching the dark Gemini wheel covers as the standard option.
You can see a screenshot of Tesla’s order configurator with the new Gemini dark wheels below, followed by an image of the old Gemini silver wheel covers.
You can still upgrade to the 20-inch induction wheels for $2,000, though the previous standard is no longer available. In Canada, Tesla is still offering the silver Gemini option as the standard, though buyers can upgrade to the Gemini dark wheels for $700 CAD (~$513 USD).
The Gemini dark wheels have also become the standard option for markets served by Tesla’s Gigafactory in Shanghai, China, after the company launched them alongside other updates in October. However, the previous silver remains the standard option in European markets, which are served by Tesla’s Gigafactory outside of Berlin, Germany.
The news comes after Tesla launched the Model Y RWD Long Range in the U.S. last month, officially replacing the previous entry-level trim—and adding 60 miles of range.
Elon Musk recently said that owners of the previous base Model Y configuration would soon be able to purchase range upgrades, nearly bringing them up to par with the new Long Range variant. Tesla also launched a highly coveted Quicksilver paint option for the Model Y in multiple markets in April, after the color was initially launched at Giga Berlin.

Did you park that close to someone in an open parking lot, or was someone messing with you?

Thanks 👍. That's one of our offices parking lot, that guy always parks there, away from the building because he likes to sit in his car, probably taking a nap

I wonder if Tesla will ever do anything that directly promotes the fact that you hardly ever/never have to go to the dealership with an EV. Been reading in Car Chat about dealer experiences for service and it got me thinking of how nice it is to never worry about that.
- Buy the car on your phone or computer. No haggling back and forth. No bait and switch of what was advertised.
- No oil changes or routine services (time is valuable)
- No worrying about if you're getting hosed by a dealer or mechanic for suggesting services you don't need
- Brakes can last approx 100k miles as they're almost never used
- A car that gets better over time with software updates
There are lots of other things. I doubt that most consumers are aware of what it's like to actually own an EV and rarely/never have to go to a dealer again. To me this would be a big selling point.

Issue is lots of people have really bad experiences when their Teslas DO need repair. Terrible waits...etc
