    CA hov white stickers exp 1/1/19

    I just wanted to say yeah, totally agree! I also got my stickers in the latter half of 2016 so I’ll only get around 2.5 years out of them. And you’re basically the most extreme example of how someone could theoretically get as low as only 2 years of use while someone who registered January of...

    Transferring Model 3 Reservation

    O.M.G. "-assword" just became my new universal password. ;-)

    Is Tesla Sales Rep "Full of it"?

    Yeah... Washington has 3 locations Oregon has 2 locations California has 31 locations That's 36 vehicles to put one in every location on the west coast. Seems like a no brainer to me to do that asap, and then grow smartly over time. That is, if the M3 is as amazing as people hope, you want...

    Is Tesla Sales Rep "Full of it"?

    Points 1 seems the most important - will Tesla spare any production capacity to make floor models? Point 2 suggests that Tesla will even go one step further and allow test drives on these models. This is all speculation at the moment, but I for one am very curious to see how that plays out. I...

    Discovered a great Model 3 Trunk photo

    Lol, 2 pictures of the same trunk look so different. But I think the second photo is the more misleading one. Because of the dark shadows, it makes the trunk opening look like a gaping hole with no ledge at the bottom, and no rubber strip at the top but instead which extends all the way flush...

    Pre-Order for Family Member

    I read that turbotax answer (which may be correct, but is actually just an opinion), and I didn't really get the impression even that that writer was saying a second owner can take the credit, as long as only one credit per vehicle is taken. I think what the writer was saying, was that the...

    Pre-Order for Family Member

    Ok one last thing...(this got me curious) The IRS $7500 federal tax credit law says this: "The vehicles must be acquired for use or lease and not for resale. Additionally, the original use of the vehicle must commence with the taxpayer and the vehicle must be used predominantly in the United...

    Pre-Order for Family Member

    My final thought for this thread is just that IMO, this seems like a gray area. Not saying the stuff suggested in this thread won't "work". Just that folks shouldn't use this as a blueprint for transferring their reservation to anybody they choose. I do think the DMV title part could be a...

    Pre-Order for Family Member

    Sorry for misunderstanding - I think a few things are being proposed in this thread. And I was interpreting that the conversation was leaning towards just buying the car and then transferring it. Bonnie, as another person suggested, isn't your proposal of adding another owner, and then removing...

    Pre-Order for Family Member

    With the S and X, only the original owner can get the tesla extended warranty (ESA). I presume the 3 will be the same...so being a second owner does have a potential disadvantage.

    The "must do's" when selling a Model S

    Is your 2013 still under factory warranty? Perhaps one idea is ask the soon-to-be new owner if they want the ESA (extended warranty)?

    New member wants a Tesla

    From time to time I come across these threads and throw my 2c in that I'm I pretty big proponent of buying directly from an original owner. Get the original owner to add the ESA (extended warranty) before you buy. Then you end up with the balance of the factory warranty plus 4 extra years...

    8.0 Lost or Degraded Capabilities

    Under Audio Settings: the fader/balance control is changed (worse). Used to be able to independently drag the front/back vs left/right audio - in addition to having the fun but not as practical crosshairs. A numerical value was also displayed for each setting, so you could remember what...

    Model S with 3 kids

    My kids are 3 and 5. I also thought long and hard about the S vs X question. Ultimately got an S with rear facing seats. This topic has been discussed here many times. Over the years I've scoured many threads and picked up nuggets of of stuff I'm not sure is information or fools-information...

    Is it possible to leave climate control on when leaving car (without app)

    I saw a reply to this thread and thought you were going to mention that the 8.0 software update seems to have "fixed" this(??). The notes say that the car can (will?) now keep the cabin temperature cool by keeping the fans running. I don't yet know if this is something you can turn on/off (my...
