			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I wanted to thank everyone here, especially the knowledgeable people on the TSLA Investor Discussions for helping me pay for my car with Tesla and Solar City stock. I am still a long term Tesla stock owner but I have enough profit to pay for my Tesla! I am ecstatic about picking up my black Model S at the Seattle service center this afternoon, and looking forward to coming to Teslive in July. <br />
<br />
Thanks again for all the great help and information.<br />
<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Been a Tesla fan for quite some time and have lurked on the board as a visitor for just about as long following the updates on the MS but finally joined when we finally decided to put in our reservation.  My wife did a test drive in Denver before we reserved but I had not ridden in one until May 3rd (thanks Denny!).   All I can say is that I was happy/satisfied in just looking at one in the Tesla Store but am now completely impressed and addicted after riding in one and looking forward to driving it!   :cool: <br />
<br />
We even just registered for Teslive and are looking forward to meeting other owners and everything else at the event.  Can't wait for ours to be delivered (basically three more weeks) and now debating on driving to Teslive for our first big road trip!!!<br />

After having read all the motor press noise about the &quot;T&quot; and watched those YouTube clips I finally had a test drive today at the Dania Beach, FL store in a red Model S P85. What a car!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi all.  Been lurking here a bit to get a 'feel' for things...<br />
<br />
I don't remember when I first heard of Tesla but I've been following the saga for some time.  Although I can't afford a Model S (two divorces will do that) I have high hopes for a Gen III.  Having just turned 50, it's been a LONG time since I really got excited about a car.  I mean, I'm driving a Camry that's over 10 year old and loving the reliability and the fact that I no longer have a car payment.  It's a long way from my having bought a turbocharged sports car (1985)...  Have had mostly family cars since then (including a couple of minivans).<br />
<br />
But the more I look at Teslas, the more sense it makes.  if they can make a good car for $30K in today's dollars with an expanded SC network...  Even with the car costing more than an ICE (assuming battery tech doesn't advance at all) I've been keeping track of ALL the automotive related expenses I've had in the past year and knowing that oil changes, timing belts, water pumps and so many other things do NOT have to be paid for...<br />
<br />
My wife still needs something like a minivan or Transit (she is a painter and has ladders on a roof rack) but it would be nice to get at least one more ICE out of our mix.  I went electric on power tools, snowblowers (corder) and my lawnmower (battery).  They just plain last longer and there's so much less to break compared to pistons and crankshafts...</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Greetings from Denver:  We made our reservation in October 2012 #RN317927 and finalized January 15th 2013. Took Delivery March 11, 2013. White, Tan, Pano, Obeche Gloss, 85kw, 19&quot;, 19&quot; w/snows, Tech Pac, Air Suspension, Parcel Shelf, Paint Armor, HPWC. Both the parcel shelf and HPWC have arrived and have been installed. We are thrilled with the car! Have posted a few threads so far and I am reading many of the posts. We are 4 blocks from the Service facility in Denver and if you would like to stop by, just let us know first. Always available to help with a charge if you are in need. Plan to do the &quot;Drive up Mt. Evans&quot; June 8th. Ordered Weathertec mats from Tesla for the frunk and trunk, but plan on waiting for WT to come out with the interior mats hopefully in tan. I also got a long stylus for the touch screen, eliminates finger prints and makes it easier to use the touch screen especially when using Slacker +'s and -'s. Having window tint added next week (any suggestions?). How do I add info to posts? Looking forward to meeting other owners! Richard &amp; Juli. Forum ID: RNG</div>
