*PRICE DROP* $380 shipped OBO. Let's get these sold.

It means there was a nail puncture that was repaired. See this youtube video to gain an understanding of the repair process:

If anyone is concerned with the 253 miles of rated range, my 2015 late September manufactured Model S P90DL gets anywhere from 250-255 miles of rated range at < 31k miles and occasional supercharging + occasional charges to 100%. It's just a thought, but it may be that the car gets less rated...

Thanks for the feedback. I agree with the more simplistic approach and use it for the most part. My friend happens to be an engineer (I am a Software Engineer), so I tailored the response to be a bit more precise.

Could you please link to wk057's data, azred? That's right about battery size; if you want to get really technical, then you have to take into account that the battery size in the various Model S vehicles may not be exactly as advertised. I believe the 100kwh battery is larger than 100kwh, for...

A friend asked, "What is the range [of your Tesla Model S]? Do you have the smaller battery or bigger one? Have you taken it on road trips where there is mountains and how does that affect the batteries?" Range is a very common question among electric vehicle potential buyers, and the short...

This is true. Even if you live out of state, if you take delivery of your vehicle in California, then you will have to pay California's sales tax rate. Also, one of the things you may be able to save money on is the car delivery fee ($1500 I believe). I was able to get it waived for my car, but...

Nice deal on these! I'm a Baltimore local and would have purchased these if I had not purchased others (older style wheels, 19" all-seasons) a month ago. Looks like the price was right as these sold quickly! They're $2,500 new through Tesla, after all!

Yes, you are King Off-topic: I've been running v8.0 for two days. My advice would be to upgrade because, in my opinion at least, I would not want to go without the updates now that I have them. I love the navigation screen updates, music selection updates, and autopilot updates. It's definitely...

Beautiful! Enjoy! :D

Expect the car to ship/arrive within 10 business days, then expect to wait a few more business days to get on the schedule for orientation and while the car is being prepared for delivery. I ordered my car on July 16 and took delivery Aug. 3rd.

I am the kind of buyer who can afford to purchase a 6 figure Model S but cannot afford a 6 figure Lamborghini. While I could afford to purchase the Lambo, the money spent on driving it would pain me. On top of that, my driveway is steep and would bottom out a sports car. Bottom line: the Tesla...

I'm happy that everyone is obtaining great lease deals for the P90DL, but I'm wondering - how do you put only 10,000 to 15,000 miles on the car in a given year? Do you also drive a 2nd vehicle? My commute is 5 miles each way, but I've somehow managed to drive 1,800 miles in one month of...

True, I got an amazing deal on a 2015 P90DL for $101k with 11,500 miles, only had to come out of pocket $3,400 (including gap insurance), and even with 78 months @ 1.74% with Alliant Credit Union, my payment is $1425/month. It's nice being able to drive as many miles as I want, and I can modify...

I believe that Tesla is overloaded with all of the orders for the 2 year lease. I contacted my local rep yesterday afternoon via email and called the service center, but I still have yet to hear back. A month ago, when I took delivery of my car, the rep was very responsive--within minutes or a...

Since someone mentioned the value of adding data points, here I go: I was just quoted two days ago by a Tesla rep: $70k for a CPO 60kwh with autopilot tech package, supercharger, and grey metallic paint. Then add in the government rebates. One more thing no one has mentioned is that a CPO gets...

I am also considering a used P85, but if I'm going to keep the car for 8 years then I should get what I want. Also, my gross income will be over $200k next year so I'm not too concerned. Nice!! I'll go through EFCU first.

hmm well my monthly mortgage payment is $935/month; the other 'mortgages' are not listed on my credit report, so judging from experience with lenders, they won't care. Technically if I can afford a DTI of mortgage+car of 50% my gross income (gross is nearly $11,000/month), then I can afford...

What was your experience with Alliant Credit Union? I've already established a history with them: I have a bank account, savings account, credit card, and health savings account through them. Does anyone else have any input? Was anyone able to get approved for $120k+ with at or around...

You're advertising that the buyer will not pay any tax, but won't he have to pay tax at the DMV when he registers in his state?

This thread is for those of you who are purchasing the P85D with financing: 1. What are your financing terms for purchasing the P85D? (i.e. banking with Alliant Credit Union, the car is $130k with $13k down and financing $117k at 1.79% APR) 2. How much is your bank requiring as a down payment...

Well, I drive a 2013 Civic SI currently which has 5.5" ground clearance (I'll measure it tonight to verify). I wonder if I could get away with a Roadster; I've never scraped my car on my driveway, but I don't want to buy a Roadster to find out that I can't park it in my driveway without...

I happen to live in a home with a fairly steep driveway. It doesn't scrape my Honda Civic SI or any other car that has pulled into it, but others have expressed concern over the possibility. How does the Roadster do with steep entrances? What about the adjustable suspension - does that help? (I...

If you can afford to keep the Model S until the Model X comes out, then that is the best overall decision. Any time you buy or sell a car, there is a cost involved of both time and money. If owning the Model S is really a stretch for you in the first place, then you shouldn't buy the Model X...

I saw a used inventory 60kwh on the east coast for $57,800 with most options except Sound Studio Package. It might be worthwhile to contact Tesla regarding their current inventory.

There are several kinds of naysayers that I've seen: - The Oldfashioned Nayser: anything good has been tried and tested. Tesla is new so it's probably bad. - The Pessimist Nayser: will find any and all faults possible for anything. - The Political Nayser: will be against it until more people...

Hold on a sec - what's the point of Performance Mode on the 1.5 if it's the same speed as Standard Mode? Are you sure that Standard Mode on the 1.5 yields a 0-60 of 3.9s?

Actually, when did Elon explicitly say that the Roadster would never have supercharging? I thought he simply didn't say anything about supercharging at all.

I thought Standard Mode on the 2.x is 3.9s 0-60, and Performance Mode gets 3.7s 0-60? I wasn't aware of the sound reduction stage 1 and 2. Where is this done and how much is it to get these installed?

Wikipedia is a good place to start as it gives detailed explanation of the various Roadster models.

Curiosity. Is it 8 seconds or is it 4-5 seconds 0-60? There's a big difference there.

This is an old thread, but it sort of dropped off without answering this question: does anyone have a 0-60 figure for the Roadster Sport (and non-Sport) in Range Mode?

How long would the 400 mile battery take to charge with the HPWC?

I imagine that the reason Tesla hasn't released the new battery pack yet is there are quite a few challenges to overcome with retro-adding new battery technology and supercharging capability. Just a guess... - - - Updated - - - This is true. We know nothing for certain.

This article seems to take the side of the battery having supercharging capability. From a business standpoint, it would make sense for Tesla to offer supercharging along with the new battery upgrade. From a technological standpoint, besides the battery, what would prevent supercharging?

While I'm sure the ride and acceleration are similar, there are some key differences between the 1.5 and 2.0 or even 2.5: In particular, - Improved seating - sleeker exterior - black forged wheels option (I like this a lot) - 7" touchscreen with backup camera - improved interior sound reduction...

Roadster future - is supercharging feasible? We're aware of the 400 mile battery upgrade, but currently the Tesla supercharger network only works for the Model S. Is it feasible that, along with the new battery technology, it would be possible to retrofit the Roadster for use on the...

I think the sports car is what I'm really looking for. By the way, I'm 5'8" so it will probably be plenty comfy--but mostly fun!:biggrin:

Wow! That's cool that someone created the OVMS. That's one less thing the Model S can claim over the Roadster. I plan on test driving the C7 tomorrow morning 'just to know' what's available, but... I'm confident that my decision is really between the P85 and the Roadster. Your comments for...

I'll take the C7 for a spin, though I'm thinking that I won't like the experience if it's loud and obnoxious.

Why are you disappointed in your Model S at the track? It goes quarter mile in 12.4 secs, what's disappointing with that? lol hmm no matter, I think there are other solutions. Yes, there is. Once I realized that this car is a Lotus Elise in body, then that opens a world of options. This thread...

Yeah, right now I'm actually considering keeping the Civic SI and going with a used Roadster. I rarely travel interstate, so the Roadster would meet my needs 99.9% of the time. That thread is crazy. In case anyone wonders, I definitely will not be modifying my Civic SI due to all the headaches...

Do you think it's possible to fit two snowboards in the trunk? I was looking for the dimensions of the trunk online but couldn't find anything on it. It looks just large enough to fit two boards. I don't believe there is any roof rack available for the Roadster--correct me if I'm wrong. I've...

Is there a Roadster meetup group in the DC area? I'm considering purchasing one, but I'd like to see one and ride in one first.

EDIT: Wikipedia for the win on the differences between Roadster models! Is there any place where I can read about the difference in the models of the Roadster? From what I've seen, there is a 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5. Where can I find the options that were offered? Can anyone comment on safety of...

They're both about the same price. They both have similar performance. I will be using this car as a daily driver with a Civic SI as backup. Is the Roadster reliable enough to use as a daily driver? How much mileage can I realistically expect to put on it? (I plan to keep it for about 5 years)

Yes, and one scenario I'm considering is keeping the Civic SI to pass down to my fiancee. This would allow me to purchase either the Roadster or a new (2013+ model) Corvette and not worry about the 2 seats. If I kept the Civic SI, then I could handle some unreliability because I can always use...
