    [Poll] Refreshed 2021 Model S: Best Interior Color/Decor?

    I know the yoke's getting all the attention, but the interior as a whole does have a new look. Which color/decor scheme do you think is the best and/or best complements it? :cool: You can view the options here: Design Your Model S | Tesla .

    Best Model S Interior Colors?

    Poll has the interior options as of December 2019 (and likely early 2020). And is relevant to my interests, as I'm likely getting a Raven S in early 2020. :) IMO all three current options are interesting, but none are perfect, of course: Black w/Figured Ash decor Advantages: Acceptable to...

    When in 2020 to get a Model S... Check my thinking

    Honestly thought I was gonna get a Model 3 LR, and before the end of the year... then I made the mistake of test-driving a Model S. Yeah, pretty much game over for the 3, good as it is. :oops: So now, pretty sure I want a base S. I'm resigned to the fact that I won't get the Fed tax credit...

    Should I Just Wait 'Til Q1 2020 to Order?

    Want an M3 LR AWD. Thinking about ordering one in the next week or so, so as to have one delivered by year's end and get the $1875 Fed tax credit that still remains 'til then. But, now I'm thinking maybe I should hold off until Q1 2020. My reasoning: 1 – Tesla currently lists a waiting time of...

    Grey Sport Wheels Spotted on M3Ps on Car Carrier – An Option Soon?

    Hi all, I live in the Silicon Valley, not far from Fremont. I can report that Tesla does this thing where they park car carriers full of Teslas in a big East Bay shopping center's parking lot (I frequent a restaurant in this shopping center). I don't know why they do this, but I've seen them do...

    VW To Skip Plug-In Hybrids Completely For North America, Will Go Straight to BEVs

    Volkswagen Says No To Plug-In Hybrids In North America I have mixed feelings on this, at least for the short-term. Since, if you want everyone to have a low-carbon vehicle, PHEVs are about the only good way to address the $25K-and-under market for the next few years (i.e. until battery costs...

    Will Buy A Model S... But Think I'm Gonna Wait A Bit.

    Had been planning to buy an MS in Q1 or Q2 2018, i.e. right before the Federal tax credit ran out. But now, with the Fed tax credit in imminent danger of being repealed by EOY 2017, I'm rethinking my time frame. For a few reasons: 1- Obviously, no time pressure anymore if the Fed tax credit...

    Model S 21” Wheels : Risk of theft and damage

    Just wondering how often this comes up. Yes, I know, I know, it varies by locale. But some wheels/cars do seem to get targeted more than others. Such info would come in handy when deciding whether or not to pony up for the 21" turbine rims, at an additional cost of $4,500. Y'know? :oops: Oh...

    [Poll] For the Fence-Sitters... What's the #1 Change/Improvement That'd Get You To Buy A Model S?...

    In other words, you're considering buying a Model S, but can't quite bring yourself to do so, because, "If only Tesla would just (change or improve that one thing)..." :oops: IOW, What's the #1 thing keeping you from buying one/what's the #1 thing you're waiting to change before you jump in...

    Did you name your Model S, and if so, what?

    Lots of ppl seem to name or nickname their vehicles, even when it doesn't matter. Of course on Teslas, you can name your ride and it shows up in the UI, and probably the app too. So, out of curiosity... What, if anything, did you name yours, and why? :cool: (there's a guy on YouTube who named...

    EVs: Have We Finally Reached Some Sort of Mental Turning Point?

    Regarding EVs... don't things somehow feel strangely 'different' right now? Like the ground's starting to shift under our feet? But in a good way? The Model 3 is launching to great fanfare and simply enormous order backlogs. The big German automakers, to hear them and the press tell it, are...

    [Poll] Given the Trade-offs, What's the Minimum Acceptable Range for a Tesla?

    The trade-offs (if you need to reminded), are that more batteries = more weight, higher cost, and less interior space. As weighed against more range, which to some folks = nirvana. :D And 'range' is the EPA-rated range, if you have to ask. :cool: Finally, I don't think this question is...

    Considering Used Model S vs New Model 3...

    Hi, all. New here. Cool forum. :cool: Perhaps some of the wiser among you can help me out with my future buying decision. Basically, I made the mistake of riding in my bro-in-law's Model S, and was pretty much insta-smitten... so quiet, so smooth (air suspension), so fast, so sexy in the...
