    Latest "Finalize your order" date

    Gary, since you own a roadster are you sure that you are not R414 (the roadster friends and family group). I am P293 and I have not yet received my finalize your order e-mail so it would be strange that p414 would get theirs before mine :).

    The high-pitched whine during acceleration...

    I heard "both". I heard the tone that FlasherZ mention from the front dash (near the screen) and the noise from the back of the car.

    Get Amped Tour: Seattle, 7/6 - 7/8

    Yes, that's the sound. In videos it sounds like it is the electric motor but it is not. It is a whine or tone coming from behind the center of the dash which must be there to let you know that the traction control kicked in.

From my experience a big part of the steering feel comes from the stiffness of the suspension. Now, I have no idea...

    Get Amped Tour: Seattle, 7/6 - 7/8

    After waiting 3 years, I finally got to drive the Model S today. I actually put down my $5,000 deposit the day the car was announced so this test drive has been a long time coming. I want to make clear up front that these are my initial thoughts after an all too brief drive under non-ideal...

    Get Amped Tour: Seattle, 7/6 - 7/8

    I live in the Seattle area and I did not receive my invite for next week. I just e-mailed [email protected] and they called me back within 10 minutes and scheduled me over the phone for a test drive on Friday! I received the Fremont and LA invites so perhaps the invites were sent out of...

    Hello from the Seattle Area

    I put my reservation down for the Model S the same day it was announced more than 3 years ago. I am really looking forward to finally driving it next week! Model S P #293
