    Selling Arachnid Rims & Founders Series Powerwall

    Hi everyone-- First off, I am beyond sorry for my delay in responding to everyone. There was a massive confusion at Tesla regarding my prizes, so I am just beginning now to receive prizes I won during the summer of 2016... Anyhow, I have officially received my Arachnid wheels! I've attached...

    Selling Arachnid Rims & Founders Series Powerwall

    Hello all-- Just posting to reply to a few posts as well as several PMs. Thank you all for your consideration. As of right now, I haven't decided on a price for the prizes and am waiting to do so until I get further information from Tesla. It seems that some of these prizes might take longer...

    Selling Arachnid Rims & Founders Series Powerwall

    Hi everyone-- First off, I am not entirely sure where to post this thread. I imagine shipping for the rims and Powerwall will be quite expensive/difficult so I chose the Midwest thread. Mods: feel free to move this post if need be. Anyhow, Tesla responded to an email of mine today, informing...

    Supercharger - Bay City, MI

    I tried charging at the Bay City SC Wednesday night. I knew that I was going there at my own risk, as I ended up being stranded in the area. Luckily a friend who lives (relatively) in the area was able to pick me up from the Mitsubishi dealership where I ended up charging. Guess it just goes to...

    Picking up new Model S70D from VA and driving home to Boston

    I picked up my 70D at the Tysons Corner store and have completed the drive between DC and Boston several times without any issues. My number one advice (as was already mentioned, but is really that important) would be to avoid the Bethesda Mall charger. Feel free to PM me with any questions...

    Is There Some Way for Me To Give Away My Part of the Referral Incentive?!

    Hello-- I emailed Tesla about being able to donate the $1,000 referral, but never got a response... here are some of the benefits I see in allowing individuals to donate their referral reward: It would prevent potential future Tesla owners from fearing that the individual referring them to...

    Youngest Model S Owner/First Car?

    So in terms of attention, I am primarily referring to interactions with pedestrians when parking over driving in cities, or interactions with other drivers/passengers on the road. I've never owned/driven any luxury/exotic car that receives more attention than the Model S. Nevertheless, attention...

    Youngest Model S Owner/First Car?

    I was 20 when I bought my 85 last September...I have absolutely zero regrets. Just prepare yourself for a few things... -Crazy expensive insurance (it was so surprising that I started a thread about it...). -Lots of attention (some of it is fun and some of it is annoyingly negative)...so much...

    Road trip from NJ to Williamsburg, VA.

    Hey everyone-- I would have responded earlier, but I didn't see this thread until just now! I just want to let you all know that if any of you ever need to charge in Williamsburg, feel free to PM me so I can get you access to my NEMA 14-50. I've had about a dozen plugshare users come by in the...

    Trade Idea: A Weekend in My Luxury NYC Apartment for Your Tesla Model S

    Both of your posts have me quite curious about this idea of trading Model S's for a place to stay in the city. I've been doing a bit of research about the ride sharing companies (like Relay Rides), but I see that they would only be insuring if you book through them (paying cash and giving them...

    Insurance For Younger Driver

    So I reached out to a few different sources, which checked with dozens of insurance companies, but unfortunately I had no luck. The cheapest quote I got was $4,700 and quotes went all the way up beyond $7,000/year. I realize that this is mostly due to my age, but I guess that means I can add...

    Insurance For Younger Driver

    Wow, thank you all so much for the responses! It seems to me that my rate is actually about average (or possibly even a bit better than average) for my age/driving record. And to answer the age question, I'm 21 which means--as that age vs. insurance rate chart shows--I'm stuck paying big for...

    Insurance For Younger Driver

    Hello everyone-- I have been researching this topic for quite a while but have had little luck finding anything fitting my issue, so I'm here with a new thread! So, I am a younger driver with a perfect driving record, but Chubb seems to be charging me through the roof ($4,000/year) on my Model...

    We are everywhere

    I would also say I have a Tesla-sense at this point! When I'm driving in DC and through Florida, I spot them everywhere, oncoming traffic included. But, only a couple thousand of my miles are from metro-Detroit (and all in the middle of winter), and that was when I saw one of the two Model S's...

    Supercharger - West Palm Beach, FL (SC, closed)

    Shoot! I am driving down to Palm Beach tomorrow and was hoping to use this supercharger a few times this week! Does anyone have any suggestions of any places in or close to Palm Beach with high-powered charging? I've checked Plugshare but only saw mixed/poor reviews, slow chargers, or poorly...

    Ranger Service Going Away?

    Whenever I would have issues with my car (there were a lot of those), I would need to take my car (usually on a tow truck) from Williamsburg, Virginia to the closest Audi dealer, which is 1+ hour away in Richmond. Audi's Richmond dealer always attempted to always find issues, such as my...

    Tesla NAIAS Preview Event

    Hi everyone-- I'm a 2014 Model S owner from Michigan but I am temporarily residing in Virginia for a few years, so while my registration address is my Michigan residence, my shipping address is my Virginia residence. Nevertheless, I still spend a few months a year in Michigan and was a bit upset...
