    National Theft Search and Recovery - SCAM

    My Model S 60D was delivered to me last month and already scammers are trying to take away my enjoyment of my new car. If you receive a mailing from NTSR (National Theft Search and Recovery), please Google NTSR and at least read the warnings on the BBB. The whole document is written to pressure...

    Insurance On Model S?

    Like they say, "your mileage may vary". Auto insurance companies use so many different variables when calculating rates: location, driving record, age, credit rating, etc.. My specific policy information would be of little value to this discussion, but the insurance company comparison...

    Just picked up my car today!

    No on the rear cup holders/ rear USB, just Figured Ash Wood at the rear of the arm rest. I'm OK with that, I can't drink in the back while I'm having all that fun driving.

    Just picked up my car today!

    Just picked up my S 60D today and thought I'd share a few pics. Especially the Figured Ash Wood Decor with all black interior.

    What Swag did Tesla give you at delivery?

    When I picked up my S 60D today I got a goodies bag that had an umbrella, a mug, a pen, and a lapel pin. The two key fobs now have a band around it with a key ring on one end. I enjoyed my delivery and my ride home. What a car...

    Feeling less and less comfortable

    My S 60D should be arriving in Houston in a couple of days. I sympathized with your current state of mind. As far as signing or not signing to take a test drive, I'm sure it is Tesla's policy is to have the sales reps request customers to sign. Some sales reps may either forget or decide not to...

    Hello from Utah

    Welcome to the forum. The wait is a killer. My red 60D is being transported to Houston as we speak. North Dakota is a little sparse on Superchargers (like none), you can get to South Dakota and use wall plugs the rest of the way. Enjoy your new car when you get it.

    What time of day did you get your in-production email notification?

    April is my DS. She had sent me a note that production would begin shortly and I refreshed MyTesla and saw that it was In Production and called her. She verified it. As I said our last chat she said my car was in final inspection and MyTesla still says In Production. I'll call on Monday. BTW...

    What time of day did you get your in-production email notification?

    jdjeff88, I think our cars maybe on the same transport to Houston. My DS said yesterday my car was in final inspection, but MyTesla still says In Production and delivery window of 9/2/16 - 9/16/16. We both have red cars. Mine is all black interior. Ironically we both have chosen Figured Ash Wood...

    What time of day did you get your in-production email notification?

    No email from Tesla for change to In Production. I had emailed my Delivery Contact the day before for a status update and she replied that maybe next week. I refreshed My Tesla page and up it came - In Production. I called my Delivery Contact and told her that my S 60D was In Production and she...

    From the sparse Tesla state of South Carolina

    Welcome to the forum. Revel in being unique in your town. If you want to see bunches of Teslas come to Houston. I'm also waiting for my car to be built and then delivered.

    Acaciolo, my son, Thomas Alvarez, Comp Sci/Japanese and his wife, Judy Li, pre-Med were both at Lehigh 2000 - 2004. Congrats on your thoroughbred Tesla.

    Hello, from Allentown, PA

    Welcome to the forum. Nice area of the country. My son and his wife both went to Lehigh University, right up the road from you. I've visited there a couple of times. Once you have your finances straight in your mind the Model S is an easy decision. I'm currently waiting for my 60D to go into...

    Tslaaustin I'm glad that my post helped you. Who said, that being on a car forum is not only fun but can save you money, too?

    Model S - Auto Insurance

    Full coverage 250K/500K/100K with $500 deductible. As I said I saved $500 over Travelers. "Our mileages will differ".

    Model S - Auto Insurance

    I thought that I’d share my findings with you. In preparation of getting my S 60D I knew that my auto insurance bill would go up from my Prius. That’s life in the fast lane. First “your mileage may vary” depending on your driving record, credit rating, and all the other stuff that insurance...

    My Car went into pre-production. What does that mean?

    Those are all great questions. I'm currently in the same situation. Ask your Delivery Contact. The excitement is killing me. Sounds like you too.

    Welcome to the forum! Once you start looking at the S it's just a mater of time before you order one. I'm sure the people in line behind you for the 3 will appreciate you buying an S. Enjoy the forum, Bill

    Going the Extra Mile for a Possible Customer

    Thanks for the offer on the referral code. I used my neighbor's code. I ordered my 60D last week. I can only imagine that this waiting is only going to get worse. Enjoy your car when you get it. Bill

    oh sweet odin's beard what have i done

    I'm right there with you checking out everything and reading all the good info on the club's site. But unfortunately for me I'm still in the 7 day cooling off period. Waiting sucks. Enjoy your car when you get it. Bill

    New 90D owner, 3000 miles in on the first month, and starting a Tesla blog to share experiences

    I'm really happy for you, but envy is rearing its head. I just ordered my 60D so I'm in that 7 day limbo before I know anything about my build time, let alone delivery time. I know you and everyone else had to wait too. Enjoy your 90D. I'll check out your blog. Bill

    Going the Extra Mile for a Possible Customer

    This should be categorized as Pre-Ordering, but I’ll place it here in Ordering anyway. One of the sales showrooms in Houston is located in the Galleria Mall which is about 20 minutes from my house. The Tesla Service Center is actually only 5 minutes from my house. I did make two trips down to...

    Howdy from Houston,TX!

    I'm glad you had such a nice test-drive. We all have our priorities and they will determine what we do if we can afford it. My driving distance requirement will be easily filled with a 60 so the difference will cover the D and the Premium Upgrades Package with the power gate which I really like...

    Clint, Thanks for the information. I'm really looking forward to seeing your pictures of the figured ash. I'm sure it will be helpful to all those that are considering figured ash as a choice. Have a GREAT day, Bill MacOnWheels

    Wood Decor Choice

    A picture is worth a thousand words and much better than the samples in the Tesla showroom. I have actually found some pictures of the new Matte Obeche Wood Decor dash and it looks very nice. I can't seem to find anyone who has posted pictures of their Figured Ash Wood Decor dash. If anyone can...

    Howdy from Houston,TX!

    Thanks for the welcome. I was wondering what kind of mileage are you getting on your Volt. My 2005 Prius got 41.85 mpg for the 8 years that I had it and my 2012 Prius is sitting at 41.45 mpg for the 3 years that I have had it. I don't do much freeway driving to have the better numbers. I'd be...

    Howdy from Houston,TX!

    Howdy from Houston,TX! I’m not a native Texan, but I got my passport to Texas 40 years ago. I’m 68 and retired from Chevron/Gulf in 2010 after 42 years of having as much fun as I was allowed to in their IT department. I was the first Houston employee to own a Prius, that was in 2005. Boy did I...
