Take the longer route, not only does the power company need to come and do the wiring then Tesla needs to come and make sure its working correctly and number the stalls before its actually "live". The odds of this happening over a holiday weekend when its not a public safety matter are about...

I would consider the X to be more of a popup camper / local boat hauler. 100-150 miles just wont cut it if you go on a camping trip of any length.

Cali has front plate laws, if they remove it they would be breaking the law. The law is pretty silly, but you need to jump through the hoops since it exists.

If you're looking at the ones with 50 miles on them they have not been driven, you need to look at the ones with a couple thousand miles on them to get a deal of any kind. Why would they sell a INV car for 10% off when it has 100 or under miles on it?

So, how did that phone call go exactly? "Uh yeah, I wanted to break the law even further in your car but it stopped at 80?" But seriously, No issues from me at even capping the new cars with cameras at the speed limit. Tesla owns the car and lets you use it as a courtesy (as they should with...

The official response I was given by a family member for the Cleveland PD was this: "If you want to give a cop one more reason to pull you over or give you a FU ticket don't have one on." I personally don't mind having a front plate on. If you really don't want one (new style really lends to...

All of this just so they didn't have to say "due to an large amount of vehicles being shipped we are currently experiencing a longer wait time from what we had expected". People like the truth way more than some round about answer with no content. Saying you have no idea what the problem is...

They need to increase production from 1,000 per week to 1,000 per day.... That is what worries a lot of people. Tesla can't release the car onto the market and have 100-200 a month trickle out for 4 months like the S and X, they need to be at a starting point of 300-400 a day and ramping up to...

I just hope they have a 3 tier car ordering system that are 35k -> 40k -> 50k in price (or something in the lines) and go away from the fully custom every order one like they have for the S and X. It slows production down and really sucks reselling/finding a "good price" for 2nd owners. When you...

I don't know how much I can trust the old 2016 map now after they put this one out to the public like that. If I had to put money down on the table I would say the newer map is more in line what will happen this year.... if it even gets that much done.

It looked mostly from southern Texas sweeping up the eastern side of the country and finally stopping the Maine expansion. I would like to know if its states/cities not giving Tesla the permits to do so or Tesla just wanting to focus on getting as many cross country routes open as they can in...

Because clearly I have nothing better to do with my time... I didnt bother to check the city blocks in the major city area because you know, I like to not zoom in 400% and figure that mess out.

Looks like they removed a few from the hopeful 2016 list that I noticed right off the bat, The I20 from Dallas to Atlanta line seems to be cut now and I-77s from Cleveland to Wytheville charger seems to be reworked/missing the northern 77/70 split at the Cambridge area is not gone. Any other...

*buzzer sound* NEVER trust other people when getting a loaner or rental. Check everything out yourself and force them to write down anything you deem worthy to be down. I had a place (no names) that told me "not to worry" about what looked like someone threw a few hand fulls or nails into the...

Have you thought about getting a lower mile INV car instead as well? If you need to wait until June you might be able to snag something really nice for a pretty nice discount and only 3-7k miles. Who knows, by then it might be cheaper to buy a 90D INV over a brand new 70D. Seeing you have some...

They have already addressed this with the 60s, the car is tied to the pack size for no reason at all besides Tesla wants it that way.

It means they need to multiply the parts production tenfold to meet demand and have spare parts. Waiting weeks for a simple quarter panel or something else like a bumper that you can only get from Tesla will NOT fly with the general public who can buy a ford and have the whole car worth of...

Gotta take the good and the bad with no dealerships with issues like this. On the 15th you should have gone to the SC and done stuff in person. Emails and phone msgs can quickly be forgotten about but a upset customer in the middle of the.... sales area, not so much. Tesla should have really...

Honestly it would be better to just drive down to the Macedonia SC, getting to the Service Center can be a huge pain in the butt at times with many lights and traffic. Macedonia is right off 271 with lots of food/areas to waste time at within walking distance.

Right off the Tesla sites store -All-Weather Model S Interior Set $ 200.00Its going to cost a extra $270-380 to get the front and rear done as well (depending on a dual motor or single for front).

When did they add the powerwall for the winner? Good for him.

I wonder what this and the addition of the X rollout numbers (its been a month and a single X has yet to roll off the line correct?) will hurt the stock further on next weeks 4Q call numbers. Oh, and the SC tank of 20% as well... interesting timing for this for me.

Always get everything you are promised from a sales person in writing. If on his car spec sheet it says he has the AP he will be fine, otherwise he needs to have a conversation with Tesla and the car he ordered.

Aluminum will cost way too much to keep the car at 35k. You cant have a costly battery pack and aluminum and a nicely teched up car for that small of a price. Steel/plastic parts body with fabric seats for a base model for sure.

I honestly have no idea what they could be doing with the car right now to delay sales and mess with 4Q numbers. Are they looking at making a 2nd row fold fully flat option for the mega cargo room everyone was expecting maybe?? Even doing what Chevy did with the Volt (not calling it a delay but...

A real good way of solving the "local SC abuse" would have been for Tesla not to put so many chargers around SF, LA and NYC. If its made for "long distance travel" they should be 50-100 miles outside of the city to prevent the issues they have have started coming up with (Uber drivers and other...

Couple quick things that always bother me with these threads 1) DO NOT TOUCH OTHER PEOPLES CARS! This is a great way to meet the wrong person and the police get involved with the aftermath of what breaks out. 2) If you dont own the parking lot and the place that does own it does nothing, you...

If they have yet to even open the back room it will be 20m easy before it starts. You cant open the room up and 5m later start the event when half the people have yet to come in the room.

Going from 90-100% is almost going to double the time you spend at the SC as well. Unless you NEED the range to get to a charger it will be much faster hitting up a Chademo for 15m or slightly altering the route if you could. Remember, the current SCers will about double into the 2016 year and...

Its all fun and games until someone throws up in your car because they are not ready for the G force.

Doing anything with water in Cali besides drinking it would not be advised due to drought conditions and mandates.

To be fair, its not used it was "displayed". I would never pay close to 70k for a discontinued model, even if that was a s85 with zero options I would balk at that price. That car has sold/made customers happy as a loaner quite a few times over to try and get about that 90% of the retail cost back?

That picture is actually taking three spots as well, all because someone wants a bike ditch on a car not really designed to even have one on it.

What in the world are you guys doing when behind the wheel? playing cards?? Frankly unless ALL cars are autonomous I want everyone with a hand on the wheel. Computers and sensors can fix the moron weaving in and out of traffic that pulls right in front of the car causing a over correct and the...

A family member of mine used to work at a country club a few years back and it had nice cars (Ferrari, Bentley, Porsche ect) coming in all the time and he even told me DO NOT LET OTHER PEOPLE PARK YOUR CAR. They are not some magical pro drivers, they are usually part time low to mid 20...

He is saying they used the wrong interior shot (and they did) for the piece on the i3. I dont agree with them using "puny" in the caption no matter what car it is, the i3 is not a bad car.

I feel if you get custom plates its because you want people to see and comment about it to friends / others.

If you click the "learn more" next to that claim it also says for a car that only does 20mpg and at 3.90 premium gas. It is currently around $2.00 per gallon in the Cleveland area for regular (you know, the kind 95% of people use to fill up). IMO they need to do away with putting the "savings"...

Other car companies offer special editions of new model changes all the time, not like it would hurt anything. its mostly just a fancy badge and a limited color anyways. I like that "dad joke" Tinm... got a snort out of me.

Just another reason Tesla suits need to leave exacts to press releases and not twitter or interviews. Love what they stand for and everything but time and time again they make flat out false statements that can be thrown back at them 2 seconds after releasing something. Quick broad statements...

I would start with going to a Tesla store as well and ask them to check the system if they have anything in that range as well. High 40s to Low 50s seem to be popping up more and more, you might even get a inventory car that can get rebates to bring it down in your price range if you get lucky...

Taking 80 bypasses Downtown Cleveland as well but has tolls on it, its only 15m down 271 from i90 anyways. I drive that area quite often for work ;)

Thank you sir for the information!

With zero options.

Don't derail the thread guys, go talk about the p85d in the 600page thread already opened. I dont know how much of it is "spoiling" you when they give you a upgraded loaner or if its a *pst* hey you need to upgrade to this bad boy!

So serious question as a non-cali person, how hard is it to take those HoV stickers off? Are they just super sticky bumper stickers that will ruin the paint when removed?

I had to stop the video because of the clanking of her damn earrings!

I would be very tempted to just flip the car for a pretty nice profit... stay strong and big grats on this deal.

More likely they would use the motors in the 70D if they are going to do that and it will be 328hp for the high end. I think everyone really needs to pump the brakes on the options they think they are getting with the car. I HIGHLY doubt they will offer supercharging for life with a mass...

A dealership once tried to swindle $1500 from my aunt for a paperwork fee for the "ladies upstairs". This was in a dealership that was a single room showroom. Lets just say they did not get a sale that day and a earful from her.
