Yeah, my wife went hunting for it and came back with the Impala cover, my guess, from the shots above, is that retail outlets get Impala, subscribers get Model S (that's mostly based on the big space for an address, and the fact I've looked everywhere for the non-Impala cover).

That's what I'm seeing too. Poor decision IMO. They lost out on at least 2 sales (to me). Is there anybody on the planet that really finds an Impala cover even mildly interesting? I guess I should read the article and see if there's anything actually interesting about the vehicle.
It's weird, but their logic must have been that subscribers will get what they're mailed (no choice), but the Impala carries more shelf appeal. I don't get it, I doubt I'll ever read about the Impala, but according to wiki it goes back to 1958, so there's some legacy there that some will be interested in.
So in the 2060s, they'll put Model S on the cover for nostalgia reasons rather than something actually newsworthy? I still don't get it.

When they do an extended review Model S will probably get a cover all to itself. In the mean time, this could just be backscratching for GM and it's fans. Most of the actual circulation is to subscribers, so GM is getting the consolation prize.
Anyone interested in the Tesla cover can probably call the magazine and special order it.
Ugh. I folded like a lawn chair and ebay'd the Motor Trend Model S cover issue for $6. Feels like a part of history I want to hold on to.
I honestly would have bought two at the B&M if they had the Model S cover. They still got my money for the Impala cover but they could have gotten more sales. Can't even remember the last time I got a physical magazine.

Heh, I was tempted to but I held off. For now at least.
I suspect the link will be flaky but you can probably find your way from it nonetheless...

Back issues appear to run $4.99
Thanks for the link. Full price is $4.99 + at least $3 shipping. Ebay person I bought it from was $3 + $3 shipping. A part of me feels a little better for not sending my second purchase directly to them since the more readily available issue wasn't the Model S cover.

Well, that is news to me, at least if it is something different than the existing gaping hole from my test drive!CarTalk said:

Okay, you'll have to type slower so us less advanced readers can keep up... :wink:
I guess I'm saying that I don't recall Tesla actually indicating locking storage between the seats was on the radar. But I've been proven wrong in the past, and likely many times in the future! :biggrin:
Given the "key" to the car, not sure how that would even work...
My wife's RAV4 has keyless ignition, but has a metal shank you can extract from the key fob to lock the glove box. Is that what Tesla is proposing, or some other locking mechanism?
Beyond wishes and hopes of TMC members, this is the first I've heard of this as well.
