Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[Al Sherman]

326am. Car arrives in 5 1/2 hours. But I am calm. No trouble sleeping here, nope. Think I'll go out and clean the gutters.

Aren't you Blue w/Tan? Love to see lots of pics.

CONGRATS VGER!!

Q: You live in Canada and you bought the 21"? I live in NJ and can't decide if I want to risk the money on the 21" or go with 19"

Ha, are you kidding? I can't believe your even thinking about this. I'm down in South Jersey and didn't even think twice. There is NO way I would ever consider getting the 21's. With the amount of rain and snow (except for last year) we get and potholes all over the place ... you'd be replacing those 21's every single year.

That's how Canadian's hang. Where's the fun otherwise? :biggrin:

Congrats. Looks fantastic and you can kind of see the blue in that last photo.

I plan to use the 21's in the summer and the 19's in the winter. I know there's extra expense involved but I love the 21's. Believe me I have a 650i and have had 4 blow outs and 3 bent rims (Thank God for run flats). Luckily I had wheel insurance and it covered 100% of the cost. It was the best investment ever. I paid $900 for the insurance and so far the total cost is north of $3500 for them. And those were not the larger rims. The 650i is a very heavy car especially the engine. A lot of weight on the front tires. I'm hoping the "S" will not be like that since the weight is distributed throughout the car. We'll see.

Congratulations! My exact build and seeing these pictures eliminates any last hesitation I had about blue with the performance grey wheels. Looks fantastic!

Looks like you also have the tan interior. If you take some pictures of the interior, please post. I think the blue with the tan is a nice combo.

i am addicted to this thread.

keep the pics coming people!!!

 

[FalconNinetyD]

Love the blue/dark wheels, makes my 7 day wait a little easier knowing the combo looks so good.

Question, does anyone have this combo with the black interior?

Absolutely beautiful car! Congratulations and thank you for posting pictures!

BTW, the car matches the house really well -- the paint of the "S" seems to match the house's shutters and IIRC the tan leather is close to the primary paint on the house. Coincidence or did you plan it this way?

 

[Brian H]

As he said, the match to the shutters will disappear in a flash of blue when the sun comes out! :crying::tongue::biggrin:

 

[teslasguy]

Uhhh, yeah....that's right. I had to pick exterior color to match the shutters and leather color to match the stucco. ;-/

Did you wire or mail the payment in full to Tesla? That's the last checkmark in my list before the DS can load the car on the truck for delivery. Waiting for funds to clear and checks to arrive is driving me mad.

Since I took delivery at the Service Center, I didn't need to wire funds ahead of time. I presented payment at the time I took the car.

Way to go timdoor!

Thanks again for letting me test drive. Feeding my addiction so I can get through the next few weeks. Definitely confirmed that I made the right choice a year and a half ago!

Repainting the house would have been cheaper. Just sayin'
