    Ordered a P85D, now thinking about losing my deposit and getting a CPO instead.

    If you can't get over that feeling, you're in trouble. Everyone you know and those in your town you don't know will be asking about the car. It's been 18 months and I'm still a celebrity! I have the 85, it has 18,300 miles on it. I'll sell it to you for 69,000.

    Finally pulled the trigger

    Sweet specs!!! Welcome, its been six months since I picked mine up and I still get excited every morning when I get up to leave for work because I get to drive it. Although I have stopped driving ten miles to get bread, the thrill of ownership is great.

    Stories of Tesla (Grin) Exchanges on the Road, (or in a Parking Lot)

    I've had so many people come up and ask questions about my MS, my wife has asked me to be careful. One guy who I've come in contact with three times now always has different questions. Since he was a friend of a guy I knew, I gave him a ride so he could see how it felt. After two more times...

    Will I get bored?

    Hi tslagirl, You won't get bored. I've owner 4 BMWs, I still have the 2011 535i, my wife wanted it, and I was glad to let her have it. Not to say it's not a nice car, nice to drive. But when I got it Jan 2011, a year later I only had a little over 5000 miles on it. I've had my MS for three...

    How many miles on your Model S?

    I only have 1012 miles, but, I've only had the car for three weeks. This is the most miles I've put on a car in this short of a time. I only had 5000 miles in the first year I had my 2011 BMW 535i. At the rate I'm going, I'll have 17,200+ miles by the end of the year. And loving it!!!

    Tesla to Upgrade Wall Adapters After Reports of Garage Fires - Bloomberg News

    I think it's how the electrical sockets were installed. I haven't had any heat problems with my wall socket. Ok, I've only been using it for three weeks. But, I have touched it after it's been charging my MS for a while. And I can say no issues to report.

    It will be Mercedes most likely since they bargained with Tesla by giving their steering wheel for Tesla's battery technology!

    I ordered!!

    Congrats and welcome, I've had mine for 5 days now and I can't stay away from her. I'm in the garage for hours listening to music and learning new things. Some of my co-workers came to work on their day off just to see it. The wait may seems long, but worth every minute. Like I advised Jhall...

    Well everyone, I had her for 30 mins before I had to leave it at Metro's detail to have the wrap put on. It was hard not to just head home. As we, my wife and I, were in route to the detail shop, she suddenly turned to me and with a genuine look on her face, she said "Hey did they get you a full...

    Crunch time!!! My local Tesla rep took me to see how some of the different colors would look in the sun at a SC on a Sunday. Because it was Sunday, we would only be able to see the ones that were parked outside and maybe see some through the window. However, to his surprise, and mine, they were...

    S85 Owners: Do you wish you had bought S60 instead

    I confirmed the 60 initially....so glad I was able to make the charge to the 85 before production started. Something about seeing 250+ miles on the display feels better for me.

    Who enjoys their White Model S? Is Black better?

    Definitely possible. My In Production date was 12/09 and completion was 12/12. My original delivery date was 12/21. It's been moved up to 12/17. So it can happen. Good luck and congrats, either way, you'll be in it soon.

    What did you drive before getting the model S and why did you change?

    Congrats Lycanthrope, sounds like a no brainer to me! No doubt you will enjoy it for years. I'm picking up on the 20th. That first test drive did me in, I was hooked. I'll be posting pics soon. As to your question of what type of car I had before, I drove a 2011 BMW 535i which my wife wants to...

    That's funny! Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the last four beemers I had, and probably, (but doubt it) will drive my old, now wife's 2011 535i. Maybe to clean it.:crying:

    The RWD is equal to, if not better than, the BMW 5 series. Check out the cold weather video on the forum, it looks like it can handle it just fine. Oh I forgot to mention, my dashboard shows my MS is in production. So it looks like it'll be on time, if not earlier then the 20th. Excited? Oh...

    I went through that same thought process, and then I called and had them move it up from May 2014 to as soon as possible. I to am in a lease that expires in March. Saved by my wife; who decided she wanted to keep the 2011 BMW 535i. So I used her 2008 535i as a trade on the MS. I figured if...

    Help deciding 60kw or 85kw

    Great points made by All. My wife convinced me that I wouldn't be happy with the 60, and since there's no sale tax for EVs in Washington I ordered the 85. I'd planned to get the 60 and added the supercharger down the line if I needed it (which would have cost 2500) if adding later. By ordering...
