You'll get through this, and so will your car. Sorry to hear of this incident of course, but you're okay and life is still good. Hoping for a smooth process with your insurance company.

What are your charging options on Hwy 1...I see none. :( driving the p85d in insane mode on hwy1 seems like you'll be drained of any juice left in no time, and with no supercharger, then what? I want to take a road trip up hwy1 from Socal, but am concerned about the lack of charging options.

The P85 is an AMAZING car! I test drove the P85 7 or 8 months ago. You made a great choice. Enjoy it!!!

Awesome ecarfan!

Thanks for sharing your initial impressions...all good info to know. I'll have to listen out for the wind noise now, once I take delivery this week. 50miles on the odometer seems a bit high - that's a lot of factory test driving & still they didn't detect the wind noise? Go figure. congrats!

So disturbing. Had the same thing happen to me and a BMW 750il I had in the past. Left the car parked in a restaraunt parkinglot, while wife and I were dining inside. Came out later and noticed about $3k in damage to drivers door.....dented in and scraped.

You replaced the chrome accents with all black pieces, aftermarket right? Looks GREAT!! updated: just saw, you indicated you wrapped the chrome in black. Very nice.

Thanks for tip....just ordered one!

Ordered one. :)

seeing that ICE'd picture is actually rather disturbing - boils my blood a bit. Something needs to change to prevent a situation like this from becoming a constant occurrence. Sheesh. :mad:

a great post from the good surgeon. Thanks for sharing your experience with all your fellow enthusiast friends here. I'm due to have my D delivered in a week or two, to my local Van Nuys SC. I just don't have the time currently to get up to the Fremont factory, but picking it up direct like...

Had this same problem with condensation in the rear brake lights and to some extent the front headlamps......on my 2012 Mazda MX5 (miata), which I've since sold. It can happen with any vehicle, and I'm sure it's a simple fix, or at least seems it should be.

where did you read that their rates are going up effective 1/15 and that they don't offer rate locks???

That's a relief. Thanks for reply.

Let me make sure I understand this....if swapping the stock 19" wheels with aftermarket wheels, assuming the correct offset etc, the existing TPMS sensors can be "reused" with the new wheels correct? I just bought the aftermarket tsportline 19's, and plan to put them on as soon as I take...

Congrats Rawad. Enjoy!

wow, you weren't kidding....you certainly DO drive a lot in a year!! The most miles I've ever put on a car in one year, was around 30k....but typically I average 15-20k/yr. Back to the point here....I agree, Tesla needs to offer more service options or at least be more transparent with the...

me jealous too.

Agree 100% on all points. Want to reiterate, the performance in a $120K package, just can't be beat! And to have a full sized "family sedan" that gets up and go at about the same speed as the world's fastest performance sports cars, is totally unreal. If you compare the cost of a similarly...

Another great lil video. Thx for shedding some light on the camper mode "settings".... good to know.

Yes, that's what I've been told too...Michelin primacy. Btw commasign....nice configuration on your p85d. I too went with all black interior (seats & alcantara), with a white exterior. Going to likely get the aftermarket t-sportline grey 19" wheels, and sell my stock 19's the first chance I get.

Agreed. It's really unfortunate & quite upsetting actually.

glad to hear you had a positive experience at the van nuys sc. Being a person who lives in the valley and has an order in for a late December delivery, it is comforting to know that my local service center has at least one happy camper!! :)

Thanks for sharing Max, but WOW....that seems like terrible leasing terms. I've leased expensive bmw's before (including $100K+ 750il), and the leasing terms was far superior......my payment was around $1300K/mo., and less down. So if this is the better leasing terms that tesla recently...

@Lump- I notice from your profile info, you're in the sf valley. So I'm assuming your bad service experiences have been from the Van Nuys service center? I have a tesla on order and will also be using the van nuys service center for any issues that come up. Care to elaborate on the service...

Wow. Gets an A for thinking outside the box. Gets an F for ruining what I'm sure was a perfectly good P85+.

lol!

In same boat with same question. Thanks in advance for all educated replies on this subject.

Very much ugly indeed.

Obsolete? Lol!

Just curious, what did you pay for the set of 19" TST turbines in grey? I like the grey 21" turbines, and was hoping to find a set of aftermarket 19" that come in the same style and color (since tesla doesn't offer the turbines in 19").

Hmmmm....sounds interesting. I just may choose that option. ;)

Not telling you what to do of course, but if I was in your shoes with a gross income of $150k, I personally would be more comfortable with a car payment more comparable to an $80k car (max), than a car in the $120k range. But if you can swing it, and a lender will sign off, then more power to...

I too love the grey leather with black headliner interior....I think it looks AMAZING. Now just waiting for that to be an option on the P85D with next gen seats, so I can have another reason to finally pull the trigger.

this would be great news if true, because I'd really like to have these seats in the grey color, with black alcantar interior, on a white P85D that I'm still contemplating...

Tesla has the official photos up now....

and you are paying a premium to have that opportunity. :wink:
