Since my vehicle was just thoroughly inspected, I don't think I need an assurance that it's okay. What I'm really wondering about is if the battery coolant/fluid really needs to be changed now or can it wait?

I might be mistaken, but I thought that you were able to add the extended service plan until either 30 days from your 50K warranty ran out, or 1,000 miles, whichever came first. I didn't get it because I don't anticipate that I will have a failure that amounts to the price of the warranty. I...

Hi all - I just passed the 50,000 mile mark recently, about 32 months into ownership. I had the 25K mile maintenance, which I determined to be a total waste of money for me, as they really didn't do much. There was no need to change my brake fluid, and my HVAC system needed no maintenance...

The bumper had to be replaced because it was dented as well as the rebar and balancer underneath the bumper due to damage. The total cost including parts and labor was just shy of $4,000. Like I said before, the insurance company won't budge on the $2,500 offer for DV. Small claims maximum in...

Hi folks, My four month old S85 was damaged a couple of weeks ago in a rear end accident. The damage was "cosmetic" but still required repairs to the tune of almost $4,000. Since I was hit, I'm dealing with the other insured's company rather than my own, and it's been nothing short of a...

You might have difficulty getting financed for one reason: income. I found out when trying to get financing for my Model S that while DTI (Debt to Income) rati is important, even with a good credit score, many credit unions or banks don't like to finance cars that cost more than 75% of gross...

Well, here's the deal. I don't have phenomenal income like I'm sure most of you do. I'm sitting right under 100K a year, and this is going to be a long term car for me. Also, my credit scores are not great because of a single mistake I made a few years ago that is going to stay on my credit...

What I guess I'm trying to figure out is how much *in advance* I can pay for the car. From what I'm seeing here, sounds like 1-2 weeks before delivery. Thanks.

Hi all - I'm trying to plan for my delivery (about 3 months away), and I'm wondering about financing. I'm going to finance through my own credit union, where I will get a decent rate. How long in advance of delivery can I pay for the car and bind my loan? I'm going to probably take delivery...

Hello all - I've been a longtime lurker here, and last week I finally ordered my S85! Just yesterday, I confirmed my order. If you go to the Model S Design Studio and build a new S85, you get an estimated delivery date of December. Now, when I ordered mine, I requested a delivery date of...
