    Delivery is scheduled for Monday at 10am. Have not heard from a single Tesla employee. Now, that said, we’re not financing. Not trading in. Straight cash desk paying with a cashiers check when I see the car. But. Is that unusual? Or how they do it now?

    Why Does The Delivery Process Suck So Much?

    Spend $75k on a Benz, Porsche, Audi, or BMW and you're an honored customer. Spend $75k on a Tesla and they can't rid of you fast enough. My wife's new Model S delivered with paint chips [fixed before delivery] actual miles on it because they had to drive it from Los Angeles to the delivery...

    Max tire sizes that don't rub = and Winter!

    Can someone post maximum tire sizes which don't rub - 19" wheels to start. The issue is the stock tires don't last as long as they could because they are small compared to the weight of the vehicle - for efficiency reasons . . . i.e., 'fuel' economy. I've always been the guy who usually...
