So if I'm reading all of this correctly- say I purchase in year 1 (like mid-December) and drive it 100% for business for a couple of weeks. I get full bonus depreciation for that year's taxes. In year 2, I can drop it down to >50% business use and not have to worry about recapture. The full...

Have to agree here- that's why I finally took the plunge and did a partial upgrade (albeit much more than the Reus install). It'd be great to compare all these upgrades and see what ends up working the best for these cars. Here my...

Scott's shop and Hybrid Audio is located close to Atlanta in Cumming, GA. I live in Atlanta and lucked out! He seemed very excited to take on this challenge. Also have to give much credit to Dwayne Blackwood, he's the one who customized many of the speakers to fit properly.

I didn't do the install myself, so I can't comment adequately, but I'll try. The tweets weren't replaced- the L3SE's can provide much of what most needed for the higher end frequencies. If you're interested in amplifying the mid-range (the dash speakers)- don't skimp on the qualities of these...

You are looking at roughly $3000 in equipment costs and another $3000 in labor costs. It's a lot obviously- costs should decrease substantially if you only wanted the subwoofer upgraded with an auxiliary amp powering it- minimally what I would recommend. I believe most of the costs go into...

I figured it was about time to get this car's audio to match it's performance- therefore decided to get it's system upgraded last week. However, for us on the east coast- there didn't seem to be many options and couldn't find anyone locally that's had their audio upgraded. Jealous of you west...

DrTaras The biggest issue we have is trying to figure out where to access the output from the "headunit". From my understanding the digital sound processor is located behind the touchscreen within the dash- of course the issue is how to access this area without tearing up the car. I'm assuming...

Any update on this info? btw-Great car and setup! I bet that brushed aluminum looks awesome in person.

Good to know that 95 miles isn't too bad- I'm guessing that it didn't come off the line with 100% satisfaction. They probably needed to fix a couple of issues and drive it again to make sure everything checks out.

Was wondering what everyone's odometer reading upon delivery has been? Mine apparently reads 95, which seemed a little higher than what others have been receiving.

So can we contact UPS directly with our Bill of Lading to 'track' the car?

Alliant Credit Union- pay 10% and they'll finance the rest (around $80k) for me- 72 months for 1.99%.

Hfh, make sure that your car hasn't already been finished. A quick call to Tesla let me know that my VIN 3094 was already built and sent to a Tesla delivery Hub. They were just waiting for my final payment to have it ship from the HUB. Once that payment came in yesterday afternoon and paid...

Exactly how does the IRS determine whether the vehicle was on the truck or not?

ELSupreme- check your PM.

ELSupreme, just got my paperwork (P5320 and VIN 3094)- countersigned and tesla just signed. Emailed it my loan officer- lets see if I can get this done today. Looks like the Atlanta shipments will be happening very soon! I need this to happen for 2012- so I'll be bugging my loan officer this...

I'm still waiting for my VIN and now don't want it until 2013 (given there's no chance that I'm getting it delivered this year). I'd be very angry if I get a 2012 car, but can't finish the process and be able to claim it on my 2012 taxes. If I'm taking delivery in 2013, I want a 2013 car.

Hmm, didn't realize that GA has a different set of rules. Probably explains why the delivery specialist noted that delivery of the car (once built) will be quicker. I guess they don't need to schedule a delivery specialist. btw, hows the car? Given how much people in Atlanta love their...

And therein lies the source of my frustration. Shokunin, I've noticed your P7xxx car has a VIN already. I'm sitting here in Atlanta with a P5320 car and am not to the VIN stage. I've called, they didn't deny it when I stated I'm hearing there's a big CA push and we are getting pushed back on...

If true, this makes me even more frustrated. I understand trying to save money, but then it should be geared towards those that'll save the most. This car is going to be a business car for me and the bonus depreciation I'll receive for 2012 is more than $250. No bonus depreciation for 2013...
