This is so sad to hear this is still happening. I got my model S in Jan 2013. Two weeks after it arrived I got my bumper hooked on a piece of protruding re-bar from a concrete tire stop in a parking lot. When I backed out it pulled my front bumper off on one side. (The bumper was attached...
Are you referring to the Federal Tax deduction for Sales Tax? With the change in the tax law (doubling of the standard deduction), I'm not sure I'll be itemizing my deductions. I live in Washington so there is no state income tax.
I am thinking of buying a new Model S so I can have the dual motor, cold weather package, and AP2. I have an 2012 Model S P85 with low miles. What kind of price is Tesla going to offer me as a trade-in? Do they offer better deals when the trade-in is part of a new car purchase? Alternately, do...
I read this story and was disappointed that this problem has remained unsolved for 4 years. I got my Model S on January 6, 2013, the first one to be delivered in Spokane, WA. Two weeks later on a cold winter morning, my air suspension settled down on top of a concrete tire stop which had a...
Last September, I made the 1100 mile RT from Spokane, WA to Billings, MT. I had a week to prepare and FAXed a couple dozen motels and B&B’s along the way. Only Motel 6 in Boseman, MT had a 240V 50AMP outlet which they allowed me to use for $5 above the normal cost of a room. I stayed there...
A friend of mine who knows I own a Model S sent this to me and asked if it was accurate. I told him it is RIGHT ON!

Excellence in Execution
I have posted else where about my Tesla service experience, but I feel it is also relevant to the Investor forum.
I have been an investor for longer then I have been an owner. [Most of my stock cost me $25-$32/share.]
One of the concerns of any long term investor...
I have always considered my Model S a luxury and I think scrimping on a luxury is self defeating, consequently when I ordered my Model S I bought a fully loaded P85. There were two features that many of us wanted and were not then available for purchase:
1) Power Folding Mirrors
2) Parking...
Front & Rear Dark Blue Bumpers
I just upgraded by P85 with the two features that were not originally available when I ordered it:
1) Power folding mirrors
2) Parking Assist
Item 2 resulted in me buying two new bumpers which were factory drilled for the parking sensors. This leaves me with 2...
Not to throw cold water on your plans, but using the car as a “stationary power source” will void your warranty. However, since Solar City is beta site testing home storage solutions (built by Tesla) you really should talk to them.
@dmfick I owe you BIG TIME. I did as you suggested and filed a claim against the parking lot owners liability insurance. My total cost were $4000. And after they investigated they paid the claim in full! This saved me my $1000 deductible if I would have filed a claim against MY auto policy...
I participate in Schwab’s SFLP program and loan them my TSLA shares. They pay you a good interest rate which varies by market demand but has been between 2-4%. They also send you a letter of credit from an unaffiliated financial institution which cover’s the full value of your holdings if...
I have had my MS @ the Seattle service center for over a month for them to fix my front bumper which was torn off by a concrete tire stop which had steel re-bar protruding about 2” above the concrete. I told them that it appeared as-if my car settled down on top of the re-bar after I pulled in...
I have made a claim with the property owner’s insurance company which also happens to be my insurance company. They are collecting all the data but have NOT YET decided whether they are going to pay the claim. Seems this “hazard” has existed for a couple of years and others (including me in a...
Well I “haz a sad” as well. While my pride would prefer me to not post about it, my better half thinks that I should warn others. I got my MS Performance on Jan 7 after the biggest snow storm of the season in Spokane, Washington. Since the Performance comes with 21” wheels, my “plan” was to...
