    What If Tesla Announces Model 3 Tomorrow, Who Will Order?

    I need the model 3 right now! I drive a signature S but my wife's car has over 250,000 miles. Trying to stretch it out to 2017 or possibly 2018 is going to be real tough! She never complains!

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2014

    I dont mean to be blunt but "porc" is so far off it is ridiculous. Put aside all the market hype around TSLA. I drive my signature model s everyday. As time goes by (over 35,000 miles now) the car still drives like new. I am still soooo impressed by the car. I would NEVER own a different car and...

    no more lacewood

    I picked lacewood over carbon fiber. Maybe my sig will be worth more in time? Although now with the "D" and sensors, who knows what people will collect 50 years from now.

    About time to unveil the D and something else

    I know it doesn't seem logical BUT since the meeting is at an airport AND Elon has talked about an electric plane AND on their last earnings call they mentioned they were working on some very exciting things, is it just possible they may reveal an electric plane?? I am talking a smaller electric...

    Electric Bicycles

    Appreciate the comments JROD and Chad. The way I see it, I cannot understand why anyone (unless you are Lance Armstrong - and even he had help we find out) would buy a regular bike when with electric, you can still do all the work if you chose but it also gives you options of having help...

    Electric Bicycles

    I am thinking of opening an all electric bicycle store. Do you think it would work in an area that has four seasons? I flew to California and met Don Costanza of Pedego, the president of Curry electric bikes and one other company. It was very interesting. What about in the winter time???

    Rip vin p01653

    So sorry to hear about the accident. I'm sure you along with all of us try to take great care of our wonderful, BEST CAR ON THE PLANET, MODEL S. Glad everyone is OK. About your new build, I have never driven a more smooth car, some of that is obviously because no ICE but I do attribute it also...

    misinformation spreading

    I agree. I see wrong facts printed over and over again. I am not sure how they keep their jobs? Are their bosses that bad at monitoring them?? Another point of contention is the "seeking alpha" type of commentators. Do they really have better insight? I would definitely say not.

    How Many Owners Would Buy Again, Given the latest fire information?

    Yes, yes, yes, I would buy again. It is by far the greatest car on the planet!!

    Model S Accident/Fire

    I know it is crazy but someone might have caused this on purpose. We all know the stock has been on fire(no pun intended) and the stock just keeps going up. You know some people have lost "substantial" amounts of money on the stock and could have felt this would really cause it to drop. I hate...

    Tesla Motors Stockholder Meeting - Tuesday, June 4

    I agree. If I lived in the states preventing Tesla from selling direct, I would try to do something. Is there some way for us to organize something to help Tesla out? I'd be up for it.

    Expectations and Complaints

    Brianman, that's a great parable and I prefer the king James version. You bring up a good point. I feel they handled the 40 kw scenario very well. The headliner not so sure. The way I see it my car will at least be 1/2 paid for from owning the stock if not all paid for. Tesla has more than...

    Ain't No Party Like A Tesla Party....

    @cattledog I would love to purchase a couple of those wine glasses. I make my own homemade wine and am always searching for just the right wine glass. With a tesla logo, how can it not be right! Let me know what it would cost to get 6 shipped to northwest Indiana. If 6 is too many, I will take...

    Little white plastic piece that looks like you can pull it under the car?

    It is under the car right in front of the driver side REAR tire. Do you have that on your car and what is it for? Also, I looked under the car and I have a caulk line thats probably three feet long. Do you have that also or is it just my car? Lastly, does anyone know how to change the wheels in...

    Shifts to Park when Butt Lifted from Seat?

    I hate to bring it up but there was something in the back of my mind when I purchased the car. Before I drove with my family (4 boys and wife) in the car, I wanted to drive it myself for a while to make sure it was safe. I know Tesla tested the car but something may go wrong that can cause you...

    Willing to Sell Model S

    That is why I did not purchase the roadster when it came out. Not my wife but I did not want to spend big twice. I would spend big twice for two bigger Tesla's though. If someone makes money selling the car I have no issue with that BUT if you received it and drove it, I feel it would be much...

    AUDI going after Tesla Touchscreen ergonomics- iPad as central hardware.

    Still seem pretty far behind Tesla. IMHO the only way to catch up to Tesla is to buy them. I personally would not buy any vehicles that was not 100% electric from here on out in my life.

    Regen limited due to cold today

    Left work last night and came to a stop sign expecting regen and did not have it. Was not told about it at delivery and did not read it (my fault) but you need to make it dummy proof. How the car stops should be communicated loudly - not just in the manual, that is way more important than if...

    Wow, Wow, and Wow!!!!!!!!!!! What a car! SUPER FAST, SUPER SMOOTH, and GORGEOUS! I understand Motor Trends comment of a sports car that rides like a Rolls Royce. Very obvious now that the car received the COTY award by unanamous decision. One last comment - for those of you on the fence between...

    Tesla Buyout Possible

    There is no way he would sell to an oil company. If he sells, I believe it would be after Gen 3 and a production rate of 500,000 cars a year. Then he would only sell to some green capitalist.

    Tesla Buyout Possible

    Its definitely true that several companies would want to purchase Tesla, whether Elon sells is another story. Buyer would just pay off the DOE loan.

    New England Model S Deliveries

    @Robert Boston The Juice bar is designed by BMW. You can purchase the chargers for your parking garage or hotels, etc... but they want the charging to be free. Right now the juice bar does not come with a way to charge money. They have a module that will do that but really want the charging...

    Official: Model S Extended Service & Warranty Options

    All extended warranties I have ever known had to be taken before the original warranty was over. I say you can purchase extended warranty in year 4 and the new maintenance for years 5 thru 8.

    Special Event with Elon in NYC on Nov 12?

    Ben, your videos are awesome and much appreciated! These awards make me feel even better about my decision to purchase AND I received an email today saying my car is in transit! Sig 1015,VIN 720.

    More than 1,000 U.S. Signatures (confirmed)

    For me, I would not be happy to have a vin number higher than 1000. I would also not want my car to be a 2013 if there were sigs that were 2012. If you are going to be first, then the car should be a 2012 with a vin under 1000. (my vin is 720) Lastly, I do feel a signature will be worth more...

    @Jason S I am also getting Lacewood. Sig 1015. Would you be so kind as to take pictures and post? I heard they changed it from the earlier version ( when I saw it) and would like to see the new version if in fact it is a new version. Thanks.

    Will Tesla last?

    Tesla is a great bet right now. They have disruptive technology that is already developed and that they are currently selling. They have another vehicle (X) already planned. They can start making trucks - which is a huge market but when they come out with their $30,000.00 electric car, watch...

    I can't believe the Model S is real.

    I feel the same way. The reviews are fantastic, I have test drove one, but I still think it may just stop working or it just cannot be - but it is. It is here and I am getting mine in about three weeks!!!!!! Vin number 720! Hard to believe it is finaly here. When I get it and it "works well"...

    Cancelled Model S order, bought a Plug-In Prius

    Yeah, my lacking feature is blind spot notification but not worth waiting to get it. If the features RB mentions would be able to be added to the 1.0 model s, that would be great. I would have rather seen you sell the leaf, keep the model s and still get the prius. If they added ACC to the 1.0...

    Are you also investing in Tesla?

    I just bought more options this morning!!! If I only would have waited a couple more hours I would have got them cheap! That aside, this is kind of disturbing. I mean I am sure we all want to know why??????????? This is kind of a big deal happening so close to the rollout of the S. My guess is...
