    Thanks to Dashcam, got out of reckless ticket and potentially very expensive lawsuit

    I wasn't doing anything different. I think the front camera is off by a few frames in the merged video- I have a version that plays side by side.

    Thanks to Dashcam, got out of reckless ticket and potentially very expensive lawsuit

    Since the police dropped the case, I never get a chance to ask about witnesses. If they didn't, then I had a chance to question them. Yes, it is a big burden off of my shoulder. Tesla dashcam is not perfect, but it is way better than aftermarket systems IMO in terms of practicality. Sentry...

    Thanks to Dashcam, got out of reckless ticket and potentially very expensive lawsuit

    The front camera is somewhat deceiving - I have a version with 0.25 speed and it clears things up. My car did steer right after I was hit. Also, the collision detection did engage in the last moments I think. @Jamie@electrek how to contact you?

    Thanks to Dashcam, got out of reckless ticket and potentially very expensive lawsuit

    I think it's perfectly reasonable to expect the car manufacturer to add this feature. All cars have rear camera and some even have 4 cameras for 360 view. They just need to enable recording.. as usual they charge for everything, so why not?

    Thanks to Dashcam, got out of reckless ticket and potentially very expensive lawsuit

    Yes, all 3 eye witnesses agreed with motor cyclist version that I came into his lane without turn lights. Videos show that they have no chance of actually seeing what happened. One guy who stopped was immediately behind him on the right lane- even the chance of him looking at what happened is...

    Thanks to Dashcam, got out of reckless ticket and potentially very expensive lawsuit

    It happened 3 months back, I posted this video and deleted as it was still in court. Last week, cops and prosecutor dropped the charges immediately after watching the video. In my lawyer own words - without video , you have no chance: cops gave ticket and the motorcyclist had 3 witnesses...

    Mid Range waiting room

    Funny that you asked. I just looked at it out of curiosity as I switched from white to black. I only see one scheduled delivery, for a non-owner in TN. VIN number is also there, so I am assuming he lucked out?

    Black , white interior , aero, no EAP. I was skeptical, but looks like many are taking the white...I saw it in person and liked it. Im one worh early reservation number... First few hours on opening day. Do they take that into account? It looks like your reservation has no value these days...it...

    Employee who sent $30,000 off email was FIRED!

    Aaron is a great guy. If it helps, we can all send a formal letter to his manager to reconsider this decision.

    Day Two of owning a Tesla Model S

    True for the first year, actually first 6 months. It's supposed to be based on value of car. For my i3, second 6 month tax was half of first 6 ! I can't complain if they do the same for Tesla

    $9,300 off inventory Model S 75D - end of Q3 firesale

    50 miles cars with heavy discount - Most of them are show room display cars, see VIN they are in 134***range. They have wear and tear. how much depends on foot traffic to that show room. Of course there few where they got 15k discount on shrink wrap car- they just got lucky.

    $9,300 off inventory Model S 75D - end of Q3 firesale

    Its easy for them to sell them as 75s, with software change and show higher MRP and more discount. Of course once there are no more 75D buyers, they may do it.... Time is running out for this quarter. One thing is for sure, Tesla will never be the same after October. Most people will wait for...

    Snagged a P90D Inventory car for $700/mnth on the new 24 month lease

    I understand that but I'm not sure how to make them give me a car which is beaten up. Today I also heard them saying " inventory vehicles are sold as is " and only detailing is promised. So my question is what are my options if car is not fixed and make it look like new at the time of delivery...

    Snagged a P90D Inventory car for $700/mnth on the new 24 month lease

    Can you tell me how much discount you got? Mine is real showroom car and I was told discount reflects wear and tear

    Lease Residual and MF

    No, there were quite a few similarly configured cars ( showroom display ) discounted by same amount. Few reasons i cash think of- some of them are beaten up inside. Also they have 70D badge outside. They just added rear cup holders and USB ports and it's a big deal when selling to families...

    I made the mistake on capitalized cost. It all matches now. I wasn't deducting the down payment.

    Bought new S 75D yesterday after tesla yesterday firesale overnight -$7500

    Most likely it's sitting in showroom, if it's the red one with all options. They are pretty beaten up with all fit traffic!!! Actual demo or loaner with few hundred miles is better than these ones

    Bought new S 75D yesterday after tesla yesterday firesale overnight -$7500

    This is interesting. @Dynastar your config and @Mandes configuration is exactly same, but the MRP is different. I also got similar configuration (so many Red with all options), but my MRP is also 99200. Trying to understand where the difference is

    Snagged a P90D Inventory car for $700/mnth on the new 24 month lease

    My OA said yesterday it might be late to buy out of state car as there is not enough time for transportation and getting the car ready for delivery. Just FYI.

    Lease Residual and MF

    Yes, it's inventory deal. You are right on residual, but if I put the rest of the numbers, it won't add up. I used the leasehackr.com calculator as well as hand calculation - OA lease estimator is off by more than 4k!

    Snagged a P90D Inventory car for $700/mnth on the new 24 month lease

    Hi Can you elaborate please? You put NJ resident name in lease (I just paid deposit, hope I can add NJ resident ) and have him assume lease. Then do a lease transfer ?

    Lease Residual and MF

    Hi, MRP is 99200. Sale price is 81600 ( including $1000 referral and $1200 wave of destination fee ). I can't get the math for the 10k payment that I got. If I use 10k, why I need to add the tax credit ? I didn't get the part. I thought the only difference is residual difference for 10k ...

    Snagged a P90D Inventory car for $700/mnth on the new 24 month lease

    I don't think there is any pattern. I've seen actual demo cars with miles on them priced way more than new inventory. One thing I did see is higher price points cars have more discount. If you are leasing, that helps a lot but not so much for finance. I think 18% to 20% is good deal for this...

    Snagged a P90D Inventory car for $700/mnth on the new 24 month lease

    No, only 4% upfront. I'm trying to get residual from OA as the number he gave me (70) is not right. As per the lease calculator on Tesla, it should be 62, which is also not right. Also, 6k down is not same as amount due at signing. For the above math, you pay 6k, first month payment , doc fee...

    Lease Residual and MF

    Are the number above correct ? Lease estimate sheet that my OA sent me doesn't have residual but he said its 70 on a fully loaded 75D for 24 months. I don't think it's right, so is 62 that is in the source code.

    Snagged a P90D Inventory car for $700/mnth on the new 24 month lease

    Thank you !!!, pulled the plug -S75D with all options $99,200, sale price $81,600. Only downside is living in VA where you pay 4% tax even on lease and to add that another 4% county property tax :-(

    Just pulled trigger on a showroom 75D

    Congrats. There are many 75Ds brand new with 15k to 17k off of MRP before federal discount. Check the other thread "Snagged P90D...."

    Snagged a P90D Inventory car for $700/mnth on the new 24 month lease

    Looks like some of the 75D are old 70s with range upgrade. So, savings shown are not accurate, compared to current pricing. Is there any concern with getting new 75D with VIN series 13****? Current series is 15?

    Snagged a P90D Inventory car for $700/mnth on the new 24 month lease

    Got it, thanks. I wasn't signed in and subscribed so I didn't see the options. 15% discount even on new 75Ds , how low they'll go before end of month ? Of course at that time they are only targeting local buyers as it will be too late for shipping. About to pull trigger on new loaded 75D, I...

    Snagged a P90D Inventory car for $700/mnth on the new 24 month lease

    Looking for some input - with higher discounts ok p90d more than s90d, lease payment is almost same. Other than insurance payment, is there any reason one would go with S and not P?

    Premium Pack - what do you actually get?

    Yes, I just spoke with customer service and premium package is going to be 3k and website will reflect it soon. Based on your post , it may still not be worth 3k but definitely better than 5k.
