All of the large stamping machines were pushing out ALL Model 3 panels !!! The various carts and racks that store the panels were all for the Model 3 it seemed...about 10% for the S and X. If you watch the very beginning of the video and STOP it, look straight down on the left hand side for all...

Of course I purchased via invite/referral (I referred myself as a previous Tesla owner) and got the $1k rebate!

I decided to take another tour of the factory today since the last time I did the tour was back in December 2012 (just before picking up my 2013 P85)...boy o boy has a lot changed!!! First of all you no longer go on a walking tour of the factory as you did back in 2012...it is just too large...

The red T is just paint from the bodyshop...no big deal and inexpensive! You can just wrap any part of the car as you wish...TONS of cool wrap colors these days! - - - Updated - - - better than looking like a polyester leisure suit...right?

and Yes I work for Porsche...but I drive a Tesla. Can you blame me? ;-)

Here are some new pics of my new wrap done in 3M black brushed metal...I hope that you like it and welcome feedback. I am removing the TESLA on the top of the windshield - - - Updated - - -

The chrome is all blacked out with "paint" Full wrap runs about $3500 without the painted areas The "T" is also painted...not wrapped I will have pics of the new wrap by the weekend...!

It will look much better than Darth Vader ever did ! I will shoot pics of it once I get it back late next week

Original "black" car as delivered in February 2013...blacked out all chrome + tint Then decided to go Satin Pearl White + red calipers and emblems and now decided to go with Black Brushed Metal Oxide...to be finished on or around January 7, 2014 ~ Pics to follow...

Im here Im here I just happened to check in today on the forum boards...YES I painted my calipers back in April 2013 RED...and love them! - - - Updated - - - It should NOT cost you anymore than $500 from a reputable large TIRE shop that does a lot of custom wheel applications I used...

These are some pretty poor pics but it should give you an idea...trust me for the $$$ you wont be disappointed!

Ever since getting my car I have been placing my cell phone into the passenger side cup holder of the center armrest which is fine when I am alone...but when driving with a passenger and they have a drink...there is no place to put the phone. I recently received an offer from Groupon for this...

Good idea...I like what I see! I'll take 2 please...black/red PayPal ready when you are and would love the "early bird" discount if possible!

I would love to see a nice set of side skirts on the car along with 15mm spacers on all corners (I already did that with mine through Globe Tire) and the front grill would look awesome in a black mesh grill ala their concept car originally with a red "T" in the center of the grill. And if I had...

Frankly, I think that your idea is brillant! And I happen to be a "retail salesperson" at a Porsche dealer in Beverly Hills! The model S doesn't need a salesperson or a "closer" to sell the car...all it needs is a owner to explain its virtues (features and benefits) clearly while at the same...

YEP...missed it...again! My buy order never took today and all I saw was everyone else making money on this baby besides me!

http://www.proactiveinvestors.com/columns/casey-research/3822/what-is-tesla-motors-worth-3822.html After telling myself that I am going to put my money where my mouth is...I feel that I lost the opportunity to buy Tesla around the low 30's when I put in my initial reservation for an "S" in late...

Yes that is exactly correct BENZ Yes that is exactly correct BENZ

Did I miss something? I cannot find the final price including shipping mentioned anywhere. Also waiting to see the "final" cell phone mount solution as well. Also any pics of the unit actually installed in a MS?

I put a lot of thought into that chrome piece at the bottom of the rear diffuser and my thoughts in keeping it were two-fold...1) I wanted to bring the eyes down low so that the viewer would notice (hopefully) that there was NO exhaust on the car and 2) I wanted them to notice the carbon-fiber...

My newly wrapped Tuxedo-Tesla!

This is the company that did my wrap...they do incredible work !!! http://uniqueautofilms.com/blog

Yes it was $375 for all 4 brake calipers and they told me that they can print any logo easily on their office ink jet printer (using blank vinyl decals) so I guess that it cant be too hard? And thank you for the compliments...!

I picked up my black Tesla S on March 1st and shortly thereafter realized that I just cannot keep a black car as clean as I would like it to be all of the time...so I WRAPPED in in satin white pearl! What do you think? - - - Updated - - -

Ahhhhhh the beauty of a vinyl wrap...the wrap adheres to the paint via built in adhesive that is activated by a heat gun when applying the wrap. If you no longer want the wrap simply peel it off and remove excess adhesive with an adhesive remover like "goo-be-gone" or paint thinner with a 70%...

Wow, thank you all for your nice comments on my new baby! My boss saw my car today and told me that I need to park the car AWAY from my dealership (I work for Porsche) because he is concerned that if any potential Panamera customers see my car then they will want a Tesla A instead...hah! To...

What do you think Dr. Taras? Has anyone done a full WRAP on their new model S P85 yet? I have...

Ordering black was a mistake (in hindsight) because all black cars look like **** after just one day of being washed unless they are driven and stored indoors at all times...once they hit the elements it looks bad in just one day, IMO...and I could not change it once the order "locked"

Ladies and Gentleman...here is my new car...from black to satin white pearl! The chrome pieces were removed and then painted gloss black with a clear coat finish...mirrors and rear diffuser in Carbon Fiber - - - Updated - - - And here are a few more close up shots...notice the red brakes now...

This is my current black S P85...and I will post some pics of my newly wrapped one by Saturday! Hint...think pearl white satin with all blacked out trim!

Stage 2 complete...red calipers...on to stage 3 in April!

I will be getting my black car wrapped in April...satin pearl white with black pano roof, black front grill and both rear and side rocker panels also black...or maybe CF! I will post pics after the 20th ! Currently...

As with anything imitation...the vinyl wraps ALWAYS show creases eventually and tend to peel away from the surface (with temperature change...either hot or cold). Also the wraps are "pictures" of carbon fiber as opposed to a real carbon fiber overlay...which is what I am doing. The CF overlay is...

Personally I am a MUCH bigger fan of your beautiful house than those rims....just my 2 cents

The 21" rims are only 8.5's which is the main issue. For example a new Porsche 911 C4S rear wheels are 10's ! Wider the rin wider the tire. But due to the air suspension any wider would rub the wheel fenders when "Low height" is selected

The first step has been completed however I may go high gloss black vinyl instead of this matte look which was done very inexpensively with Plasti-Dip just to give me an idea as to what I wanted to go with...your thoughts? Oh and I also de-badged the rear...now onto tint (50% front and 35% rear)...

Please add to list here...

Received my P85 black on black TODAY! Let the "mods" begin... TINT De-Chrome certain areas Carbon Fiber Wrap certain areas Custom MESH Grill (hopefully) Lloyds Floor Mats X-Pel Clear Bra Turbocharger...oh wait, I dont need that one anymore!

You guys on this board are the BEST ! Now I can go to sleep and dream Happy Tesla S dreams !!! Thank you so much for your super fast replies! I am making some nice (IMO) modifications to my new S in the next 2 weeks and hope to post some cool pics for y'all ! ***Are any of you annoyed by the...

I just picked up my new P85 today and am of course elated with joy and happiness... Then a friend of mine who is an accountant attempted to ruin my day by telling me that if I am in the AMT (alternative minimum tax) segment of the tax paying population, then I am NOT entitled to take the $7500...

I am a car enthusiast and also happen to be an automotive professional working for Porsche for the past 10 + years. I see and drive every exotic car on the road because my customers drive them all...Ferraris, Bentleys, Astons, Maseratis, and even Bugattis! But what I love most is when someone...

Brianman dont be confused...i want to add the mesh grill, but in "black"

I am excited to get my model S P85 in late March however I dont like 2 things about the car 1) All of the chrome (straight out of the 80's) 2) The ugly bubbled-out cheap looking front grill I am looking to customize my car by blacking out all of the chrome, power coating the 21" wheels matte...
