I PM you.

I have a set of 21 charcoal rims and Conti tires, staggered, no TPMS. willing to sell if anyone is interested. Tires have good thread on them but not sure on the mileage. Any of you in Florida?

So is rebuilt a car that was previously declared salvaged? Or something else? I'm quite the risk taker, but if that p85 has no warranty and support from Tesla, then I'd run from it. Or if it was involved in a bad crash.

Yeah, those are the mirror cut version. I personally love them, not only because of the look but because of the weight, price, build, etc. So yes, I am very happy with them. I don't know how to define them, but they are what you see there. Here's what yours would look like though. I saved this...

I like to think of mine as classily badass ;) I must say, I did want more of a classy look due to my line of business. More pics here: Let's see your white Model S - Page 9

Brian Guy with AOWheels Paint Correction and Auto Detailing Specialist He works with a lot of high end cars in the area and after extensive research I trust him to do a great job. Very nice guy too :)

I'm getting cquatz this week, I'm here in Orlando as you know, white car. Hang tight and I'll let you know what I think.

It's alive!!!! I mean, trim has been painted :biggrin: Huge thanks to Stig, Sickfox, TSportsline and everyone else in this thread who helped out. Also big shout out to Dayas Custom Auto in Orlando, they are very nice people and do excellent work. When I dropped off the car Dayas had three or...

Definitely amazing! Not a bad deal either considering what's included.

I love my gray next gen interior with black alcantara! It's just different and makes the car look more futuristic. I did pair it with matte obeche to add a classy look, but I think it would look just as great with carbon.

I haven't bought anything special yet, I use an all purpose cleaner and microfiber cloth. Eventually I'll buy some simple wipes. The reason I use the cleaner is because it's simple, non-greasy or full of chemicals, so I'll buy some similar wipes. Leather surfaces should be allowed to breath.

I'm sorry to post this off topic here but since we have a good concentration of white Tesla owners in this thread... did you do cquartz or opticoat on your white car? Was it worth it? White doesn't show imperfections as much as other colors, plus it won't show the shine as much either. I was...

I love my grey! Looks awesome with black Alcatara. I've only had it a few months, any dirt wipes easily and back to looking brand new.

I hope you guys got my point, the fact that multiple people may own both, actually proves it, two different purposes. My point was, I haven't seen the first person who was wondering "should I buy a Model S or a HellCat". I believe buyers shopping for a Model S would be comparing it with other...

Very entertaining and certainly fare. I would say though, these cars are for completely different purposes in my opinion. I haven't heard the fist Model S buyer who also had a HellCat on their short list.

Keep your P85D! I was in a similar dilema, went ahead thanks to my wife who supported me, and my employees are just happy for me and even enjoyed their insane rides! I left my badge on too, they see how cheap I am with my life in general and don't seem to question my decision. I was also afraid...

Wow, gorgeous!

I guess part of it may be how one drives, this morning while going to the office I couldn't really push it much and had to just sit back and take it easy, during that whole drive it felt the same as before. But if one drives more aggressively, the car seems to respond better.

Glad I'm not hallucinating! I'm loving this update, it just feels nice after getting used to the previous performance to get a new punch in power :) I also noticed the motor be more, noisy, but not horribly so and worth the tradeoff imo.

Actually, that may not help you because you won't be able to tell the difference from flat white to pearl white in most photos. Hopefully someone here posts a photo for you so that you get an accurate look.

Thanks, regoapps. When you went from .153 to 168, did you feel a big change on initial acceleration for launches? Or was it a "meh" improvement? Upon first impressions it feels drastic for me.

1ton, details sent!

I just installed 188 on my P85D, coming from 153, I thought we were already at 0-60 on 3.1secs, I'm I wrong? I went out and tested it, the acceleration is certainly different, it seems more aggressive. I was quite impressed, it just felt more supercar like. I think I'm in love all over again! I...

1ton, thanks to the support here I've struck a fairly good deal with a reputable shop, will send you details later! I can't wait to get the job done, will probably schedule it for the end of this month.

I usually drive in the fast lane while l driving locally on the highway, not for long trips, because I didn't want to give the wrong brand impression out there. "Tesla Cars Can't Drive On The Fast Lane". I thought I was perhaps being a bit crazy, but if we're thinking about it, others might as...

Cool, hopefully that explains why I didn't get a call back a couple of weeks ago about scheduling a service appointment. Will have to stop by there and see what's up.

Welcome! It's always good to see the lurkers come out of the shadows :)

Well put! Rofl :D

It really is a personal choice and comes down to needs and wants of the individual. To me, this is a toy and a daily driver, two cars in one, and I wanted the best toy I could buy, while still using it daily, the P85D did the trick. Make no mistake, the 85D is not regarded as a super car, the...

I think it looks very nice. Love the look of the silver wheels on the grey color, nice contrast in my opinion.

For me, on my P85D, the newconfig price would be only $100 more than what I paid, however, would get methe premium interior and lighting which I didn't order before. However, I would not get the Next-Gen backseats which I love and feel make the car more luxurious, plus they match thestitching...

That car completely plowed through the entire store, how can you possibly apply so much force to the pedal when all you are trying to do is park? I don't get it. The other day I was going out of a parking spot and put the car in D instead of R. While I actually accelerated and moved the wrong...

Yep! Working on that, still trying to find the right place (and right price) to get it done. Check out this thread: http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/41001-Let-s-see-your-white-Model-S?p=949451&viewfull=1#post949451 Gotta love the FJ Cruisers! So much fun in a whole different way :)...

Not sure, definitely not in US as I had to wait over a month for them due to the port issues and lack of supply.

Here's my P85D on 20x9/20x10 +35 TSW Nurburgrind Mirror-Cut Face wheels. Tires are Continental DWS 245/40/20 front, 275/40/20 rear. Big thanks to Jason at GetYourWheels for his patience and service, he's top notch, highly recommended. Also, thanks to Stig O for the inspiration, I really wanted...

Here's some love for the chrome crowd, I even went with the mirror-cut face wheels to bring more bling to the equation :D Oh, and by the way, I am fairly young... that said, I love the chrome-less look as well and may go that route if I ever get tired of my current set up.

Anyone willing to help with this? I'm still working on the saga of getting my lower trim painted body-color. I got a recommendation from Tsportline, awesome shop BTW, but pricing was along the same lines as the previous shop I had inquired with. So working with that previous shop, he sent the...

My noise level has also been very low from the start, much lower than when I took my test drive. On the test drive I was worried. That said, I do remember some early deliveries complaining about the car being a bit loud. My delivery was in late February.

Haven't gone through this whole thread but has anyone else gotten an error code saying "Software Update Required, Please Contact Service Center"? I called Tesla and they say that it is a known bug and that a patch will follow. I reset my dashboard and it seems to be gone now. This was after...

Btw, I just read the info on TACC from the manual and found some other tips there I didn't know, like pulling the lever away from you actually pauses TACC without turnout it off. This is useful as well because I've been doubled clicking the "on" button to turn off and back on at times.

Holly freaking wow! I was not aware of this. I just tested it this morning and it is all I could've asked for. I still think the delay should be increased, but mainly for stop and go traffic, for every other scenario I believe this has us covered :D

I agree, should allow more than three seconds on local roads. Or at least have the option to press the lever up, or push it in, and get going again. Tapping the pedal is kind of jerky for me, doesn't feel good, messes the flow of things. BTW, is Tesla using GPS to know if you are on highway?

I invested in TSLA right around the time I took delivery of my P85D, the stock had gone down to $204 and I went all in instead of doing dollar cost averaging, this was a day after consumer reports dubbed the Model S their best car for the second year in a row so I was feeling good about the...

I wouldn't take either! For a bit more you can get a NEW P85D exactly like you want. I was in your shoes and for me, once you are in 100k territory you better get exactly what you want and have no regrets later, now, if you want the 85D, then the inventory car kind of works, assuming you...

While we are talking about homelink, I find it inconvenient to have to reach out and hit the screen to open my garage door. I usually start opening it before entering my driveway so that it is open once I actually get there. Why not allow homelink as an option in the dash? That way we can open...

I hear you on all of them, including the locking while in garage, I hate that. I'm actually just leaving my keys inside the home and using the app to unlock when needed, however, the app is slower and it's just something I shouldn't have to worry about to begin with. I think the "At Home" mode...

Orlando. Thanks!

Thanks guys, you're awesome! Here we don't seem to have many shops familiar with Tesla's, the one I found quoted me $2,700 after a discount, should I keep looking/shopping around? I could call other nearby cities if it means saving a grand i the process.

I just saw your reply in the other thread, thanks!!

@sickfox your car looks amazing! Love the yellow calipers :) One question if you don't mind, I've been getting information on painting the bottom trim of my Model S, like you have, did the shop have to remove all the parts in order to paint them, and was that really labor intensive? Or did they...
