My family just installed a 250v 50A Nema 14-50 socket in their garage, so I can charge when I visit them, and I used it for the first time last night with a UMC and it worked perfectly! I was getting 31 miles/hr. They had their electrician install a lever that can be used to cut the power off...

I live in an apartment building with no opportunity to charge at home so public infrastructure is what i rely on and very fortunate for me there is a chademo station next to a dunkin donuts on my way to work. Even better, there are two chademo stations at a mall 1 mile from my office. I used...

If you used Tesla financing there is already a floor on the used price of your car, so I don't think changing the ESA policy for new customers will change that. It sounds like this will be good for those who already purchased one, they might be able to get more from a private party sale or at...

I live close to Nauna's, they have great pizza :) The owner Tom is a big proponent of EV driving and has been for many years. I wish this station had a chademo port though...

I've been delinquent... I picked up my Metallic Blue S70D last week on Tuesday! Delivery was a fun experience and the car has been a lot of fun. I had Xpel installed on the car the very next morning, so even though I took delivery it did not feel like it until it came home permanently. So far...

Awesome! Congratulations on delivery of your car f-stop, she looks beautiful. Wish you many many happy miles! My car, identical to yours, arrived at the SC yesterday and I'll be taking delivery next week on Tuesday. Have my paint protection install for the very next day. Very excited and...

f-stop, hope you enjoyed your delivery day and new car!! If you take any photos please share if you don't mind. My configuration is *identical* to yours (just no AP) - excellent choices sir ;-) My car has been in complete/in-transt for 9 days. I'm assuming by next week the car will be at...

Congratulations, your cars a beaut! Can't imagine your boys' surprise, cheers and enjoy!

90 miles in 35 minutes is really great. Hoping that rate is what I get on the NRG station that will become my electron oasis :) Too bad about the Leaf driver, maybe they had an emergency or something (like just being rude). There was an EV drive courtesy pack that I read someone made. The...

Thanks for that tips and encouragement! Will be sure to take care with charging and storing my adapter. I'm lucky that 0.4 miles away (10 minute walk) there two J1772 charger away from my apartment and they are open to the public for use. They cost money, $2/hr, but its another option close...

I live in an apartment building and I don't even have parking at the building but close by off-site. Management is great but not interested in installing chargers or even providing any sort of outlet. My office has a plan to install EV chargers as a perk for employees so when that project is...

Hi folks, Does anyone know if using chademo stations to charge takes a toll on the battery, and range, if you use it frequently? I'm going to be relying quite a bit on public charging when I initially receive my MS. Level 2 would make this painful but there's a chademo station a mile from...

Hope you have a wonderful delivery day! How long did transit take for your car? I'm guessing it was moved by rail. My DS told me that their actual expected date is earlier than what they are providing to me in My Tesla, but that it's subject to weather, etc.. so they budget more time to be...

My car moved over to production complete and in transit yesterday (11/19). My DS called me and told me that it was already on a train too and on its way over. Woo-hoo! Still have that mid-December delivery estimate but may show up sooner. Time to order the chademo adapter and talk to xpel...

My car ticked over into production on 11/6 in the evening, however, there's no area in the page where it displays an estimated delivery date. I've seen from screenshots where it's normally displayed, odd it's not there for me. Has anyone else had that issue? In production but a delayed...

My car configuration is identical to yours except I have the subzero package as well ('m guessing maybe you do too since you're in Canada). My status ticked over last night as well. Our cars will be rolling down the production line behind each other.

More of us on the production line, alright! I have a 114xxx VIN and my Deep Blue Metallic 70D ticked over to In Production last evening!! Very excited!

Congratulations! Enjoy delivery of your new baby, awesome configuration btw!

Good stuff stevers. Now you know that you're baby is getting built.

That's awesome. My order was confirmed Oct 22cd. When was yours confirmed? My car is almost identical to yours except for 85 and UHFS. I have the panoroof. I purchased the 70D. Love those Grey Next Gen seats, I was on the fence about them but had a demo car for a weekend with them and I was...

Once you're in production you have a box to the right of the pick up location. Your status right below the image of your car will also say "In Production"

Congratulations to all the folks who have recently gone into production! My VIN is in the middle of the pack of these news cars being built. Hoping my car is thrown into mix soon. I ordered Deep Blue metallic paint and haven't seen anyone share that they have the same color too. I don't know...

Congrats Venkat! I was confirmed on the same day as well, hoping my car will be right behind you.

I'd like to know this as well. My car has been in the production queue for 2 weeks now. When I designed my car, before order confirmation, it said "December Delivery" but since confirmation I don't see any date. I only see where my delivery will take place and some options for adding my drive...

giantbeer, I'm in the north jersey area so I hope I'm grouped right behind you. I will do my part and refresh my browser continuously until they move it over to production. Congratulations too! I've read production is a 5-day task and then they'll QC it and get it ready for transportation.

All $TSLA investors are praying for the same thing :) I confirmed my car on 10/22 and still in the queue. My car is slated for mid-December by my DS. I'm hoping that with this big spike in sales Tesla QC will keep the quality high.

Congratulations Lucy! I purchased an identical configuration except for a 70D, so love seeing deep blue metallic Model S's. Yours looks beautiful, enjoy!

If its a lease and you have mixed intentions of buying it then do not spend the money to put s clear bra on it. If you were planning ownership for like 4-5 years than I would definitely suggest it, a clear bra not only protects your car but like others said it makes maintenance of the cars'...

Thanks for sharing all of this information on electric motors. It's interesting to know more about the differences and the reasons for them.

With hesitation I paid for a clear bra (Xpel) for my Porsche Cayman when I purchased it and after a month or two it became an obvious no-brainer. If you purchase an expensive car (>$40k) and intend to keep it for at least 5 years then just buy get it. When birds poop on your car and you're not...

I hope they build the Deep Blue Metallic cars first :biggrin:

Does anyone know if BMW and Tesla use very difficult electric motor technology for their drive units? I've been reading about some Tesla drive units and trying to learn the differences between the large drive unit and the small drive unit. They seem to be identical except for output and...

LOL I must be the most lackadaisical the customer they have. I heard from the sales person I worked with that they would contact me soon and it's only been last Thursday since I was confirmed. Time to do some emailing tomorrow :) My vin is 114262, do mind if I ask what yours is? We're...

Did someone from Tesla call you and tell you these dates? I haven't heard from a delivery specialist yet. Maybe I should call...

I'm glad your car got fixed quickly. I think the P85D makes everything feel slower ;)

My order was confirmed on 10/22 as well. Has anyone near that confirmation date had their car move into production? I'm still on the production queue. Considering that Tesla gave guidance to investors that they will build 17k cars this quarter, I imagine the factory is super busy!

Thanks for sharing this link. My nerves are calmer after watching this. I think the key to this whole story is 1) quality is improving and 2) Tesla is doing a top job of supporting customers.

My order confirms tomorrow night as well. Hope you enjoy your car to the max and receive it sooner than later. I also felt a bit bummed with this news but I actually expect the newer MS's to have better reliability. New drive units, updated packs, and software. I'm sure there are...

If you use Tesla financing for purchases they will buy your car around the 3 year mark. The agreement guarantees the value, sets mileage limits and penalty per mile if you're over. Not sure how this works with leasing but for leasing you're returning the car so this type of agreement is...

Thanks for encouragement, glad to hear you're enjoying your 85D that much! I dropped my Cayman off to the dealer the other day and it was a bit of sad drive over, nonetheless excited about my 70D despite the recent CR article. The acceleration in these cars is amazing and it really gives you a...

Thanks Yitt! I hope you get your delivery sooner than December. Titanium Metallic is a gorgeous color and I haven't seen many around yet sporting that paint. I typically see a lot of black, white or grey Tesla's. Like you I've been really excited about the company and the future it wants to...

Yeah, I would've paid 1k just for black headliner, I didn't need all of the other premium interior packages features. A few other car companies do the same thing when it comes to black headliner. That's the only sore point I have. I also don't know why $2500 for next generation leather seats...

I laughed when I read your post. I'm keeping the BMW because there's not much value left to it, not for love necessarily. I would love to keep the Cayman but unfortunately I couldn't purchase the MS without selling it. I haven't seen many deep blue MS's where I live and not sure why, the...

I love my Cayman and wish I could keep it, but selling it makes the MS so much easier to justify purchasing. Maybe one day I'll yearn for another 2 door coupe and another Cayman will be in my future. Fortunately the 70D is on par (slightly faster) than my Cayman so I won't be slowing down any.

Thanks man! The budget is feeling a little pain but the only extra I didn't account for are the next generation seats. I'm getting a loaner with next gen seats for the weekend to test them out so I can make a more informed decision, very cool on the part of the dealership I'm working with...

Hey folks, So after a lot of day-dreaming and what-if's I pulled the trigger the other day and ordered an S70D at my local Tesla gallery. Will be locking up the order 10/22. Here's what I configured: S70D Deep Blue Metallic 19" Standard Wheels Carbon Fiber trim Grey Next-Gen Leather Sets...
