Congrats on you new to you Model S! The Leaf also turned on the e-car light bulb for me- had one as a rental for 2 weeks and I did not ever want to go back to gas! Drive the 21's for a while to see how they work for you. Yes, tire replacement cost, vulnerability to big potholes is more but...

Picked up a gently used set of std 21's (non staggered) to try out. Definitely like the more stealthy look than my original silver 19 in wheels but still getting used to the more firm ride.

Congrats on your CPO purchase- nice snag! Sure it depends on specs, mileage, condition etc- as long one feels that a good deal was had , beat some depreciation and happy w/ the item at point of sale is all that matters since cars and tech consumables are all about "hindsight 20/20". Glad...

The more attractive/lower price points, immediate availability, warranty should work well for existing and new buyers to Tesla. Still happy to see my purchase price of a 7K mi inventory car, non auto pilot w/ tax and rebate benefits from last NOV is still a little more competitively priced...

Probably the same one but just moved in the shade. It had dealer plates on it so its likely a demo driver.

Congrats on your order- nicely spec'd! Saw the new silver last night and its nice but you and Eileen made an excellent choice going with the pearl white!

Agree- no relation to silver or titainium. Its beige, bronze, champagne in the sun. In the shade it darkens to a grey/green or taupe. I guess the mkt folks think that "titanium" is a more catchy name?

A few pics of the new silver taken while charging in Fremont this evening:

I use Americas Tire Walnut creek to service my Model S tires- good service. Have also patronized the Americas Tire in Dublin for non Tesla cars and have never had a bad experience with them.

Congrats on you new order Nanimac- your 70D is gonna be winnahs! Was charging in Fremont this evening and happened to see something you might enjoy :)

Nice Tesla formation pics!

I have a black exterior w/ black leather seats, carpet but with the std beige headliner. Not my first choice of color combo but it was a inventory, low mi. service loaner at a nice discounted price point that was difficult to pass on :) Actually have grown to really like the black exterior...

My pleasure! We typically end up supercharging on this side of the bay when holoholo on the weekends and just had to share this neat-o sight of all the cars being delivered this past Saturday- you'd think they were having a clearance sale ;) There must have been at least 50-60 cars staged at...

Plenty deliveries this past weekend/end of quarter in Fremont!

Another "thanks for sharing" and glad this worked out for you. Hope it will be years (or never) that I have to utilize this service source but good to know that he is in the bay area! It actually looks pretty clean, de-badged without the T logo :)

I was just finishing up around 8 pm- Ahhh, I thought that the white w/ the cool looking black aftermarket wheels looked familiar from your pics on this forum :cool: Yeah, they really should have added 8 more for at least 16 there- c'mon its the mothership! We typically pass by there during the...

Stopped by the Fremont site this evening to charge and they just added four (4) additional superchargers which will likely be operational in a few days. The existing eight chargers are in process of being refreshed with newer hardware with lighted Tesla logo :cool: As I rolled up, one of the...

Hilarious- poor hellcat owner :tongue: "I shouldn’t have to make this video. I shouldn’t have to tell you these things," the Hellcat owner's William Wallace says. "I’m just sick and tired of seeing the Hellcat losing." (Warning: graphic language)...

Should you decide to stretch it, you can likely find a S85 kwh in excellent condition, low milage, remaining warranty, non auto pilot hardware for $60-70 currently or within a few months with more folks selling off to get into a D configuration Was also going to try and hold out for a Model 3...

Tesla does offer a slight discount on lightly used demo, showroom or service loaner inventory units that may come available. They are sold as new with full warranty and eligible for fed tax credits, typically discounted using a formula of $1.00 per mile + $1000/per month in service.

Nice pic! Here's a further away aerial pic/ back view of the factory from Mission Peak ~ 2400 ft up while on a mt. bike ride.

lol -To each his own but if we're going to be honest, its more accurately stated that the Fusion is trying to look like the Model S or Aston Martin AFTER Ford jacked body design/stylings for their Fusion model year 2013.

Thanks RiverBrick- great info! Smell like troll in here?

Very cool - thanks for sharing. Driving down from SF Bay area to Anaheim tomorrow/FRI and was planning on a charging stop in Culver City- will be neato to see this in person!

Another vote for full hood, full front bumper, front fenders, mirrors, door sills AT MINIMUM. (Hopefully they include full rear bumper with the $1700 you are being quoted) If you can afford to do all the doors and full rear deck- go for it.

The exec seat option is very nice and luxurious looking. If I knew my MS was only to be used for carrying 4 max people, would definitely opt for this. In my case, loving the ample flex space for cargo or passengers that the fold down seats provide.

Sure, by 2016 you may be able to " find a clean, low mileage, well loved 2013 P85 for under $50k, a S85 for under $45k" and in 2017 they'll be even lower. Its a car, a consumable, a plaything- depreciation is expected. To each his own on a car's value and acquisition price point which makes...

Carbon fiber, color accent and wheel mods look cool. Even the black cheese grater grill is something I could get used but not feelin' the love for the stripes at all.

Thanks for sharing! May need to pick up one of these in black color :) http://www.amazon.com/Wolf-38601000-Deluxe-Benchseat-Console/dp/B000CQDS1K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421222090&sr=8-1&keywords=Wolf+38601000+Deluxe+Benchseat+Console

To dispel any conjecture that owners living near the factory or corporate get updates pushed to them early on, I for one am still backup camera guidline-less :(

Congrats! Look forward to seeing pics of your new ride!

Hang in there! Fwiw- I probably got ~ 3 hrs of iintermittent sleep the night/morning before our 10 am appt to pick up our car. Love Santana but must have watched this video a few dozen times inside the 24 hr window. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCNUFz2V2Oo

Charged up last Saturday early afternoon (JAN 3) for drive back to SF bay area- one ICE offender on the end charger spot despite general parking available in the area.

Happy new year all and mahalos for the opportunity to join the Hawaii Tesla ohana! I'm Enrico and living in the SF East Bay Area/San Ramon with my wife Li'i, daughter Taylor and our golden retriever, Annie. Was a Navy brat living in Hawaii years ago and as fate would have it, married Li'i, a...

Beaut-eous car Comassign- nice meeting you at Appearance Solutions today and glad to have had the opportunity to see your new ride in person! The powder coat finish of those 19" cyclones looked stellar in contrast with your pearl white. I had Mike install the Xpel on my full front end and...

Mele Kalikimaka everyone! Received this fun little story book as a gift from a good friend- was LOL at myself reading how I resembled the story's character as new Tesla owner :)...

Thanks all- will let my friend know!

Hi Folks, Is Susan still the contact person to talk to regarding appointments to test drive? Thanks!

Hmmm, thanks for the idea w/ using a bike water cage- works for me :) Have a few of those laying around which I can put to use- carbon fiber even!

hee, hee... also busted spending a few hours in the "new garage listening room"...sooo relaxing :) Classic rock, 80's, beatles, R&B, alternative, world... ended up on a smooth jazz station and fell asleep :o

mahalos folks! Ironically, Im parked in the business park occupied by Chevron headquarters :tongue:

Happy Holidays HTF from NorCal!

Picked up an 85 (non P, non D)last month and the DS confirmed that parcel shelves are now included as a standard item. Nice looking car- GLWS!

Even with level pricing, still some nice perks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adReH9rVdRM

Congrats on delivery of your MS! Charged up at the Fremont factory last night and saw the big tent. Figured it was there for what you confirmed- plenty deliveries scheduled w/ excited new owners picking up their toys! The red carpet is a nice touch!

They both look stunning to me but +1 to personal preference as some will prefer the "depth", "glow", "class" of the solid white.

Unfortunately, "haters will be haters". Being a newb with the MS, hadnt really thought about experiencing this situation but inevitable. I would think that supercharger spaces are owned or leased by Tesla, effectively making them private property? Too bad that signs and enforcement for...

Great pics! Hoomaluhia?
