Thank you, my friend!

I’d like to thank everyone for your interest in my car. I wish you all the best of luck. And thanks to Larry, of course, for being so great to work with!

My thanks to everyone who has contacted me about the car. The new price is $67K. If interested, please contact me through a private conversation.

It seems to work better through PM or Conversations. At least so far. Thanks for your interest and your suggestion.

That price ($66,200) is not correct for my car. However, the new price is $68K. The other news is that I just had the car “uncorked”, increasing torque and shaving a full second off 0-60.

I believe so.

Thank you! You will have to pay sales tax, but there is probably a grace period during which you can drive it with the out of state plates. Check with your DMV and insurance company. I used to live in Denver. Let me know if you are interested in my car. You can open a private conversation...

Hello. I believe my car, a 2016 Model S 75D, meets all of your requirements except for color (it is red). The link appears below. Current price is $71K, which I hope isn’t a deal breaker, given your stated budget. But if it is, please feel free to make me an offer. Start a conversation...

Hello everyone. May I request that anyone interested in buying my car start a conversation with me. I am new enough so that I don’t yet have the ability to edit or delete posts or to PM anyone, but conversations are private in the sense that no one sees what you say but those invited to the...

Very true (your last sentence).

I just responded in the conversation you started.

When I did the battery upgrade, I got new rear badges. I just haven’t applied them yet (I actually prefer how it looks with no badges). Also, Tesla shows the car as a 75D; see attached.

Thank your for your interest. I will reply to your offer more fully shortly in a “conversation”. That’s the way to do the equivalent of PM on this Web site. I do want to provide you with input on a few things publicly, for your benefit and for others reading this. I upgraded the car to a...

New price: $71,000 and here’s the VIN: 5YJSA1E21GF154993. Feel free to open a conversation. Image file attached from my account on Tesla.com.

Good point! Speaking of prices, if anyone would like to make me an offer, please start a conversation with me. That is the way to communicate confidentially on this site. Also, I will soon replace this page with an updated version with more info about my car. Thanks to all for your interest!

Sure! Please feel free to make an offer. Thanks for your interest!

You make some good points. Thank you. However, the really excellent gray leather Next Gen seats and (as you point out), the free supercharging are no longer available. Tesla is still enhancing AP1, and I can tell you (but perhaps you know) that AP2 has a way to go before it works as well...

Thank you, Uncle Paul. [

I’ve learned the hard way that Canuck’s point is now the paramount consideration for me. I moved to Palm Springs after I retired in 2011. Shortly thereafter, I was diagnosed with a terminal disease. Once that happened to me, the only thing that really mattered to me was being close to family...

Wow. First of all, dutch2187, thanks so much for posting your experience. You’ve done a great service for all Tesla owners, and for Tesla itself for that matter. Because you are right: If Tesla does not get on the stick and prevent these kinds of repair nightmares, they will be buried in...

I am quite sure that this is part of Tesla's push to move 80-90K cars by the end of 2016.

Spending 25% of your cash on a rapidly depreciating asset like a car makes no sense at all. Sounds like Tesla is out of your price range.

Sounds like total BS.

Nonsense. Chevy buyers aren't chomping at the bit to buy a high-performance EV. They're also happy with econobox styling, and the Bolt looks like every other el-cheapo design on the road. Tesla appeals to a different market segment, one that the pocket-protector boys at GM do not have a clue...

Very pretty car. Looks new. Good luck.

Leaf is a special case. Nissan rushed to market without a battery cooling system, and when early adopters in hot climates started losing capacity in massive chunks, all they got from Nissan was the finger. Otherwise (I know this sounds funny), the Leaf is a terrific car. I can't afford two...

The Tesla online store sells a wire hanger that looks cool and works well -- check it out!

I'd guess they did it for both reasons -- you are obviously a very good customer and it was the right thing to do. Which, if you look at it from the opposite point of view, looks,just as good -- you are dealing with a company that values good customers, and also believes in doing the right...

Maybe the OP did not have a clear view of the bumpers. Maybe the Tesla cut in too quickly for the OP to react in time. Maybe the OP is handicapped to some degree and may have bought the option for that reason. Etc. This is clearly Tesla's fault. The OP should not let them off the hook for...

The Model X is not right for you. In fact, Tesla is not right for you. Don't execute the MVPS. You'll be out $2500, but better that than taking a bath that will cost you tens of thousands. Head on over to a Range Rover dealer and get the gee-whiz seat gizmos you really want. Nothing wrong...

I don't believe the OP stated that he/she wanted or expected "new".

Tesla will not do this, at least not with a splashy marketing campaign. Because all it takes is one failure for Tesla to become "the child-killing car." What will more likely happen is a government mandate for all manufacturers to implement it. That way no one company carries the bag for a...

Irresistible!

Perhaps the extra $500 is to cover the cost of switching from Gouged-out-eye (sorry, Mobileye) to its replacement.

Nice analysis.

Google's self-driving cars have that tower. They use a different technology, called LIDAR, then does Tesla.

Mercedes, Lexus, Porsche, and BMW all offer air suspensions (or hydraulic suspensions) on some/all of their cars.

This. That's what I did once the new Model S 60 came out. And by the time you option the Model 3 the way you want it and add in the Supercharger use cost, there won't be much difference in price berween the MS 60 and M3. And there is always the issue of getting the bugs out of a new Tesla...

Smart strategy!

Sounds like I'll be keeping my BMW 550i GT for a while, just to see how often I need it. If it turns out I do need a second car, I'll probably sell it and buy a used Leaf, since I really want to get away from ICE vehicles. Thanks for everyone's feedback. Saghost, enjoy your Model X...

I wonder if having a new (2016) Model S as one's only car is viable? I know Tesla provides loaners for when your car is in the shop, but what if you are awaiting parts and the car is undriveable until they arrive? Do you get a loaner then? Probably not. I have heard that there are...

I believe the new HPWC is configurable to deliver 48 amps with a 60 amp circuit breaker installed, with the upgraded standard car charger (at least that's the story on my 2016 refreshed Model S 60D with new front end). The really good news is that after I contacted Telsa with my worries about...

The tax payer money for EVs is not there to support individual transportation needs; it is there to reduce air pollution. Quite apart from the havoc global climate change will inflict on everyone, have you ever known anyone suffering from COPD? It is a a pretty awful condition and a horrible...

Thanks, tucker48 and bonaire. I think I'll do the NEMA installation, which I can do right under the panel in the garage, and then do the wall connector later (it will require running some wires). That way I'll have two connections, which can serve as backups for each other. The NEMA install...

Hello everyone I purchased a Model S 60D last week and when I tried to order a wall connector to charge it from the online store, I discovered that there would be an estimated wait of three months to get one. Since my car will be delivered much sooner than that, it does create a dilemma. I...

I just sold my 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet, and also plan to sell my 2011 BMW 550i GT. Great cars, but I am done with ICE technology. Going to one car -- a Tesla 60D that I have on order.
