No, I was hoping for some updates about solar roof on the Tesla earnings call but nothing...so now I'm just in limbo

This is really proving my own risk tolerance. It's weird to feel so sure one is right and everyone else (present company excluded) is wrong. I'm buying as much as I can.

I would be willing to pay about 25-30% more with a 3rd party installer. I would welcome working with someone that responds rapidly to issues, etc (ie not tesla). The problem is that the quote from RENU is for more than double the cost of what Tesla quoted me. Tough to swallow...

It looks like Tesla is no longer doing jobs in NC and is passing it on to 3rd party installers. I contacted RENU (official solar roof installer) and they quoted me 210% of my current Tesla price agreement...

I've owned 3 teslas. We have 2 powerwalls. Hell, I'm wearing a tesla solar roof shirt right now. If they came to me and said, "listen, we screwed up the original price, but we could make it work for a 25% increase" I would strongly consider that. Don't know why they have to be so dumb about it.

Just got a call from a Tesla Solar rep who told me quite clearly that based on the price that Tesla offered me (and which I accepted years ago) that I should not expect the install to move forward. I quote: "It looks like you have had a solar roof project on hold for nearly 800 days, based on...

Yeah, I hear you. I don't use margin. I also never sell tsla nor will sell until 2030 at minimum. I'm not trying to nail the bottom....where we are now is an insane discount. Heck, i've been buying since January thinking each time it was a great deal, and I still believe those lots were good...

Really appreciate this post. As a shareholder since 2014 these past 2 months have been the only time I can remember questioning my conviction in tsla. Overwhelming FUD, elon being more elon than usual, macro environment, and a disappointing reaction to q3 results have hit me hard. I've been...

Took delivery about a week ago. Crawled all around and inside it and I was very happy with the fit and finish. Doors work well. While driving to work a couple of days later I hear a hissing noise from the front. I thought it might be the AC so I turned it off, but the hissing didn't go away. A...

Wow, this gives me hope. I was actually on the phone with roadside service for a separate issue and I said "by the way the ghosting is horrific on my new X" and the Tesla rep said that it is a high priority for them and they are working on a fix and that she would note my car as having it. I...

Thanks for this. I agree with you completely.

I just picked up VIN 145xx. Horrible ghosting unfortunately. Oncoming cars DRL are seen above their car and from the lights themselves even in daylight. It is very strange. I have mentioned it to SC, I think if enough owners complain we will eventually get a solution.

I'm also irritated by all these people abusing AP. I have a 70 mile daily highway commute and AP is truly remarkable and works so well I couldn't stand driving my wife's car to work the other day. Just keep your elbow on the right armrest and your hand on the bottom of the wheel and sit back and...

You can email the video directly to your service manager. I've done that with strange noises which makes it easier. That noise is abnormal no doubt. Definitely not related simply to increased heat from summer...although the AC unit can be loud from outside generally the road noise covers it up...

Hmm, I just talked to my DS about this yesterday and he said late 2016 at best for five seaters. This gives me some hope at least.

Also note that the adjacent lanes must be displayed on your dashboard for auto lane change to work...this took me a while to realize.

We did the same...I think there are plenty of confirmed orders!

Yeah, I imagine there is a motor under there but you bring up an interesting point with the third picture. It looks like you could move the seats forward in a five seater and possibly be able to slide long thin objects underneath the seats (hard to tell what the angle would be like).

You're right, sorry about that. Will be more mindful. I was just walking the dog and started wondering if the money "saved" on the five seat configuration should be applied towards a p90d...see this is the problem with being slightly obsessed, logic no longer applies. In all seriousness I...

Hey Proven, Thanks for the input. Yep, I knocked back a bourbon, closed my eyes, and hit the order button. Good points by all. I brought them up to my wife one by one and she said something to the effect of "I don't care we are getting the five seater". I think that means case closed for me...

My wife and I are expecting our first child in September...which is hopefully around the time we get our 90d. I read the forums daily and I was all set to order a six seat configuration after reading all the back and forth on TMC but my wife quickly put the kabash on that idea. Her rationale...

I like it, I sent a join request.

I've gone ahead and created a gmail account for the club so personally I think that means we are legitimate! I'm fine with either a Google+ community or people could PM their email addresses and I can send out emails to the group regarding events. I do think a Facebook account for the club will...

My car just moved into production today! Hopefully i'll be cruising around town in my Model S 85D (Deep blue metallic, pano, 19", autopilot) in about a month!

Excellent! I envision starting off small with some meet-ups and then as we grow we can have bigger events, do some trips, talk about all things Tesla, get T-shirts, the whole nine-yards. I'm definitely open to any ideas as I've never done this before. My car is suppose to arrive at the end of...

Hi all, I'm still anxiously awaiting delivery of my 85D and in the meantime I have been scouring the internet devouring everything Tesla. I haven't seen any mention of a central NC Tesla Club (I like the sound of Triangle Tesla club) and I wondered if there is any interest in starting one? I...

I have VIN 111996, hoping it goes into production soon! I need the car asap because ive just about read everything related to Tesla on the internet trying to satisfy my addiction!
