" A preliminary report that one person had been killed were pulled back by the sheriff's office, said deputy Quinana Birkbeck." Thieves Steal Tesla, Speed Away at 100 MPH, Crash, Slice Car in Half - Police Fire - Culver City, CA Patch

They recinded the report of a fatality.

I've been led to believe that a regulation was just passed preventing a high demand item from being sold in a particular geographic area, restricting supply and therefore further increasing demand (and therefore price) of said item. I think there's a thread about it somewhere, not sure where...

So, this is a killer opportunity for someone with a lot of cash, ordering a dozen teslas and selling them used for 20k more in NJ?

Ok, so new cars cannot be sold there. If you buy in NY, pay NY sales tax, register in NY, and then move to NJ, can you register the vehicle in NJ or no?

I see that the $750 rebate from LADWP for residential level 2 EV outlet install is for "equipment", not installation - for those of you who got a garage plug added and received this rebate, how did your bill break down, and how much of a rebate did you get? Specifically wondering about...

Did someone say Doge?

It was pretty harrowing. Pics don't really do it justice. He couldn't even get out of the car because of the center pole. And the garage isn't easily modifiable for width or length. (random photo from when we got our landscaping plants delivered.)

I had a forum user bring his over to try out my garage (2 single doors, built in 1932). Had to fold in the mirrors to clear the sides, and when pulled in all the way (touching the wall with the nose) I only had about two inches clearance in the rear. Had to cancel my reservation... The Gen3...

Well, we're all on the edge of our seats, what did it go for?

I think they do all cars of a certain class together. If the mid-size luxury class (or full size, not sure how IIHS classifies the model S) isn't scheduled yet for its next batch, then neither will the Model S.

That's a great chart, but also clearly shows that picking up "200 miles in 30 minutes" as advertised on the Supercharger page is still not possible. Are all those superchargers still 90s? Or have they been boosted to 120?

Is it still on the original tires? How are they holding up?

How did you put 20,000 miles onto a 60kwh in 6 months?! That's 100 miles, per day, every day if you took delivery Jan 1st!

Well, they're right, $500/mo is a ridiculous thing to advertise. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

The street was looking for a loss of 53 cents per share for Q4 - that's what was baked in. Since they lost 65 cents per share, that's what is the driver for the after-market price dip.

Right...i was saying that price is the best reason to opt for a FFE over a Model S. Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk 2

Price? Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk 2

Im in the same boat, considering the fusion energi or lincoln mkz hybrid instead of my model s reservation, just because of price. However, until i can test drive the other two, im continuing to prepare for my time to build email. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

****ing lol! Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk 2

Not exactly a "celebrity" per se, but Susan Disney Lord (heir to the Disney fortune, Roy O. Disney's granddaughter) has her deposit down on a Model S.

We definitely need some range tests with "Range Mode" turned on ASAP!

So does Olivia not drive then? You'd think you'd want your least safe driver in your safest car, no? Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk 2

What is a popular American or Japanese car that is equivalent price wise to a Sig Performance in Norway, after taxes? Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk 2

My rep told me that the 40kwh is the same weight as the 85, as they are actually adding weight to make up for the battery difference. Seems wasteful but is likely being done to avoid additional crash testing. Take this with a grain of salt, I've been told a number of, um, falsehoods by Tesla...

The sig perf i test drove in santa monica yesterday had "the whine" according to the salesman, but even with some aggressive acceleration i never heard it. I never quite put the pedal all the way to the floor, but honestly i don't plan to in life either. Seems like less of an issue than i first...

No plans on using a roof rack, and the additional headroom provided by the sunroof doesnt extend all the way back - if I have my 5'11" head on the headrest in the rear, my hair touches the ceiling in both the sunroofed and non versions. My wife drives a jetta sportwagen with the sunroof and in...

Pretty sure they just have one test drive car, and it's a red sig performance with the sunroof and tech, not exactly comparable to the 40 or 60 with only air suspension I'm planning on getting. Hmmm. Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk 2

Hi everyone, I have my test drive in 4 hours in Santa Monica and I was wondering if people had tips about what to ask, what features to check out, or anything else that will help me get the most out of this precious limited time with the car. I'm a P12,000-something so I'm not expecting the car...

I'm curious if it is in the standard models without the inverter. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Yikes, that sounds pretty terrible in that video. I have my first test drive Monday, I'll have to see if I can duplicate it.

My new wife surprised me on our wedding day, Sept. 23rd, with a reservation for P12,104. I think she reserved it about 10 days prior to that.
