    Cost of installing second Meter?

    Thanks for all the replies. The electrician got back to be and said the HOA won't allow the secomd meter since they would have to dig underground and it is very involved. He said it would cost thousands of dollars anyway. I'm going to keep my current plan then see if switching to tou would...

    That would be cool. If you can get a custom house built, why not a car? Maybe someday.

    Financing options

    Jon K at US Alliance is awesome! Jon has been on top of things and follows up very quickly. He knows Tesla's process and already has worked with many of the delivery and finance people there. I highly recommend Jon. Until connecting with him, I was pretty confused about the whole process...

    Any Traditional Lease options from 3rd party?

    I calculated out a hypothetical lease for a Model S using the guaranteed buyback criteria as a residual value indicator. the result was that the payments weren't significantly less. The main reason I was thinking of looking for a lease was to secure an alternative guaranteed buyback beyond the...

    I emailed Jon at Alliance. He is very responsive. Will talk to him tomorrow. Seems like there is a special for EVs they are offering. Advertised rate is 1.39 for 60 mo, 1.89 for 84.

    New Order Status: "We have begun sourcing parts for your order"

    My status says the same thing but I just found out my car is ready and at the Service Center already! I thought I had another week. Between me and the Model S is me finalizing financing. I'm waiting on an approval from Alliant. My delivery manager said that there is an issue with the site...

    Any Traditional Lease options from 3rd party?

    Thanks for the inputs. I am surprised that there aren't more options. The residual value should be close to or a bit lower than what Tesla themselves are guaranteeing. tax credits are sometimes passed on to lessees in the form of a cap cost reduction. that's why the leases for cheaper EVs...

    Financing options

    I called Alliance today and couldn't get a hold of Jon K (The extension didn't work as well). The representative I spoke with said there are no special incentives for EVs and the best rate they quoted was 2.99%. Anyone else have a recent experience with Alliance? Thanks.

    Financing options

    I was hoping to use the Tesla 72 month option with US Bank. In the past I've either bought vehicles in cash or leased them. Due to me not having a comparable loan in the past, US Bank is not offering me financing. Even though I am putting 30%-40% down and have excellent credit. Wells Fargo...

    Is there a thread for tech vs non tech package discussion?

    Thanks for the input. I agree, this is the first car I see as a gadget more than a car. the tech package definitely adds to the gadgetry. Is there any way to open the power hatch without buttons? I rented a 5 series recently and loved the wave foot under bumper trick to open the trunk...

    Is there a thread for tech vs non tech package discussion?

    I am close to finalizing my order. the only thing i keep going back and forth on is the tech package. Honestly, I like to use my iphone for navigation (even though my car has nav). If i get the tech package, I hope the turn by turn is at least on par with google maps on the iphone. the...
