    Picking up Model X tomorrow @ 10:30 "not in CA"!

    Great experience yesterday from the DS "Nick" at Charlotte Service Center! They spoiled us! Answered all our question and took great time to go over all the differences between my Model S and the X. Have only driven it for one day, but absolutely love it! Fast, quick, nimble, an excellent...

    Picking up Model X tomorrow @ 10:30 "not in CA"!

    With all the rush from Tesla to satisfy owners tax needs in California, I thought my East Coast owners would like to know my wife and I are picking up my "black and tan" Model X tomorrow at the Charlotte Service Center at 10:30 AM! My X is fully loaded except L-mode and has the 20 inch tires...

    How many people are taking delivery of their Model X in March?

    My DS said I should expect my Model X (VIN 23x) by the end of the month (March) arriving at the Charlotte service center. After that arrival, I am sure it will be there for a little while before I can take it home. However, I am hopeful for a Model X as an Easter Present! Confirmed on...

    Greenville SC to Athens Ga a little help please!

    Wouldn't it be nice if all colleges and universities had an EV charging station. What a great message it would send to the youth and future leaders of our economy study! Just saying, it is time to send the right message to our kids!

    Greenville SC to Athens Ga a little help please!

    ElSupreme, Actually, I went to Wake Forest but neither of my kids want to set foot on the campus. Maybe they would have to study too much! I think I will try my luck at the round trip with no charge venture. If things get low on power, I think I can always stop in Anderson, SC for a little...

    Greenville SC to Athens Ga a little help please!

    I was excited when my teenage twins asked there Dad to take them March 6th to visit the University of Georgia for their official college visits. The drive from Greenville, SC to Athens, Ga is about 100 miles. I thought it would be cool to take my new Tesla Model S 85 performance for the visit...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Vin 3231 arrived yesterday at 8AM! Awesome! My PS called me Friday to tell me my Model S would not be arriving on Monday, January 14th as promised. I was a little bummed but I told her, "it was going to rain Monday anyway". One hour later the carrier called to say he would be at my house by...

    Model S Delivery Dates and Sequencing

    To heck with the Richardson street garage, we are going to be relocating our corporate offices early next year and I will have a Tesla Wall charger set up for all Tesla Models to "juice up" on me as they rip it up and down I-85! While it will not be a supercharger, it will provide the fastest...

    Model S December Production email

    I am P#9,045. I must be the highest reservation holder to get the email. Grey Performance 85kwh. Understand there are a "batch of Grey 85 performance model S's" on the line now. My only chance is some of the other Grey Performance 85kwh's defer to 2013. Well, here to a possibly exciting...

    Latest "Finalize your order" date

    The Canadian P# is a interesting situation. Why? I have not figured out the sequence of delivery regarding US, Cananda, and Europe. Placing Europe deliveries aside for the moment, would it not be logical to delivery the US and Canadian P#s in order regarding their timing the reservations were...

    Latest "Finalize your order" date

    I think it will be awhile until the next "time to finalize" emails go out. If they are producing only 200 hundred cars a week ( as indicted by Tesla), I do not see a need. Accordingly, Tesla plans to reach 400 cars a week in the next two weeks or at latest by the end of November (after they...

    My first two weeks with Model S

    Awesome review! While everyone on the reservation list would love to have their car today, we all have to be proud of Tesla delivering high quality automobiles to their adoring fans who have waited so long! All the reviews do seem to share the one comment in common, "it was worth the wait"...

    Can't decide between Model S or Audi S6

    Derek, We have the Audi (my wife's car). In short, it is a great car and probably one of the finest ICE cars out there. We bought it over Mercedes and BMW. However, after our test drive, we elected to order a Model S and a Model X for our family. We will be saying bye to a BMW M6 and an...

    How long until Model X gets a design studio?

    While I know the Model X will share a large percentage of parts with its sibling (Model S). You would have to think that the longer we wait for a design studio, the greater the chances for some neat upgrades will appear in the Model X which are void in the Model S! Thoughts?

    How long until Model X gets a design studio?

    Well, if the Model S does not ramp up production, improve deliveries, and start paying back debt, my Model X reservation and any fun playing with a design studio will be moot. Also, if Mitt wins the election, Tesla may have their loan called! Ha!

    Latest "Finalize your order" date

    A lot of excitement for sure, but I think "finalize" by the end of September is a little aggressive for #10,608. I was told to expect April delivery for #9045. Of course, I have not been waiting as long as a majority of the posters on this site have been waiting for their Model S, and I have...

    More than 1,000 U.S. Signatures (confirmed)

    I am on the Sig waiting list. When I talked to the Tesla representative, he assured me it was "highly unlikely at this stage" I would receive a Sig. They have not closed the list which makes me speculate some people are still deciding wether to stay with there Sig or not. He added Tesla would...

    Model S/Chevy Volt issue: Help Needed

    While I am excited and awaiting my Model S delivery (sometime in 2013), my teenage son is going to buy a Chevy Volt. Problem: What to do about charging? I really do not want to upfit the garage with two chargers. Is there a solution here? I was planing on installing the Tesla wall charging...

    Being #P9045, I see my "time to finalize" email arriving just in time for Christmas. It will be a Merry Christmas and should have flushed out a number of outstanding issues by then (super charging, colors, interiors, etc.)! Still pumped and very happy for all who got emails today!

    If everyone liked the same thing, we would only have one car company too. Dr. Chill has his own personal opinion and tastes which is great. I liked the test drive so much, I put an order in for the Model X for my wife while I wait for my Model S!

    While I respect opinion, I must agree you are in the minority by placing the importance of the interior over most everything else. The Tesla Model S is a wonderfully delightful luxury vehicle regarding performance, handling, design, style, and utility. I mentioned in another post, I am getting...
