Tesla Americana Manhasset — Local services in Town of North Hempstead

It's a Tesla store/ showroom. The helpers were helpful, the tech is techy in a good, Apple way (use tech to serve the user and the environment, making sense logically - and the car/ store is designed in the same vein). I test drove the new Model Y to get some feel for how Tesla's latest design resulted from a user point of view. Even easier/ simpler than previous models X and 3. The assistant located a test vehicle in a jiffy, explained to me the essentials, answered my questions very clearly and succinctly. (I forgot how to engage the latest self driving feature... all I had to do was pull over and ask Google to get an immediate answer). Also followed up with a personal email so I could address questions directly if I had any.

For the record, the next day, Monday 11/16/2020 at 5:15 pm the S&P folks announced TSLA would be included to the S&P 500. So the next best thing to owning a Tesla is probably to own some TSLA shares. Like Tesla cars I've seen, TSLA the stock will wade through muddy and high water treacherous pools without issues.

On that same Sunday, as fate would have it, THREE Tesla Model X drove the 4 astronauts to the first SpaceX manned mission to the International Space Station, putting a final stop to the strange situation where the US paid Russia tens of millions since 2003 to send our astronauts to the ISS,

Thanks to SpaceX we keep our US dollars in the US and contribute to the technical and scientific developments or our domestic economy.

Same can now safely be said for our oil and gas, and car economies. So, what's not to like about Teslas, They are made and designed in the US* and have stopped our future dependence on foreign and domestic oil.

(*) Too bad our leaders (except Obama et al) have failed to understand this achievement. Tesla has had to start factories and research centers in China and now Germany in order to continue to grow- they could have done a lot more within the US before committing so much capital and know how abroad.

Took delivery of my Model 3 here in 2018. It flooded in December 2022 with 88,000 miles.

Tesla emailed me saying my Cyber Truck reservation is in queue. What does that mean?

Came here for clarification & high anticipation. Kai assisted me and smoothed everything out. Now my expectation is low since we all know Elon works hard but is always late to the party.

I’ll be surprised if my cyber truck is ready by summer 😅😅. Update: my reservation is July 2021. Just met someone waiting with a reservation from 2019. OMG 😳

While I’m here, might as well take advantage of the espresso machine. Kai also convinced me to consider the Model Y performance for $50k. Ludicrous! My buddy paid $65k for only a long range in 2022. I’m enticed 🤩

Tesla Manhasset provides great service and accommodations 👍. I even bought my lunch next door and dined here 😇

Thank you 🙏🏻 Elon M. You deserve the Nobel Peace Prize🥇🥇

5/14/24 update: Cycled 20 miles here for an espresso ☕️. But the pods are empty? Also no Cybertruck on the showroom… 😮😮

9/20/24: Cybertrucks galore. It is available in abundance with 1 exception. Must buy Foundation model for $110k 😅😅

10/6/24: Espresso pods have returned. Thank you 🙏🏻 ELON

11/25/24. Finally… The $80k cybertruck is out for delivery. You heard it from the Horse’s mouth (so says Bora the manager). 👍👍

2/15/25 Finally got an opportunity to test drive a 2024 cybertruck for 30 minutes. Thank you 🙏🏻 Dany for the tutorial.

Pros:

1. looks like an Apache chopper on wheels while sitting in the cockpit
2. feels like flying 1st class with ample space & large seats
3. accelerates quickly & turns easily
4. very stable & quiet at 85 mph

Cons:

1. the rectangular steering yoke is difficult to manage for a 90 degree turn. Requires both hands. A BIG BIG TURNOFF
2. at $80k, Elon should have put in a Nespresso machine & a wine cooler

After waiting 4 years, I’m not impressed. I really liked it but did NOT love it.

I do love the Tesla brand. Without a doubt, I’m seriously looking to purchase my 2nd Tesla.

Question is, will it be the newer model Y aka Juniper, model 3 performance, or a...

I felt compelled to do so to warn people about tesla’s business practices.

I would consider myself an early adopter of the Tesla model S as i purchased a new 2013 model s 60 kW model s with tech package, premium sound, paint trim protection, and air suspension.

I love the car, And was hoping to trade in for a model 3. The vehicle is in great condition with 31,000 miles on it And it has 2 1/2 more years on an extended warranty.

Tesla gave me a lowball offer of $32,500 where bluebook is up to $43,000. Given that the trade-ins or associated with tax savings, I was elated when teslas said that they would match Vroom’s offer. Vroom offered $40,500 And prior to placing my reservation for my all-wheel-drive model three that I was ready to buy, I called to Confirm the offer.

I received an email saying that they cannot offer the VROOM trade in match. What irks me is that I bought the car when nobody knew if the company was going to survive because they believed in them and what they were doing.

As a loyal customer And an early adopter of Tesla, I am Extremely disappointed at tesla’s business practices. It seems Tesla lies to their customers And refuses to Honor their word when the deal does not favor their interests.

I love the car and thought I would be a long time Tesla owner, but after this and how I was treated I will be looking at an Audi E-Tron...
