Doug Demuro mentioned it perfectly - democratizing performance and handling. A sub 4.5 second acceleration (even more so sub 3.5 second) in a car that is at or below the mid 50s in MSRP is disheartening to those that spent much more on their conventional ICE vehicles. There is a certain...

Common misconceptions: - A blower motor works "harder" when air is restricted. - A vacuum motor works "harder" when suction is restricted (it actually consumes less energy) - Adjusting the climate control set temperature to an extreme such that it says "HI" or "LO" in the display will heat or...

The detailer pointed out the untrimmed appearance of the center stop lamp. Am I missing a trim piece or dress up cover in this area? For reference, this is looking "down and backwards" towards the trunk lid. This area is not readily visible unless one looks specifically at this angle.

Those who received Chase as the loan provider, AND have Chase accounts for their personal banking will see that the Tesla loan appears as a standard account when they login to the Chase website a few days after taking delivery of the car. They'll also send you lots of stuff in the mail, but...

I can't believe that 40 minutes from 2020, Pacific time - they are still delivering cars.

Similar thing happened to me. I was on the east coast for a work trip the week before Christmas, and low and behold Tesla calls on a Sunday afternoon and wants me to take delivery that day if possible. I tell them I won't be back until Wednesday, so a Thursday delivery was my preference. No...

I thought I had some major scratches on the B-pillar - where the cameras are located. Turns out my delivery center never peeled off the protective film that covers the glass in this area. If your B-pillar has a matte or hazy appearance, try picking at the edge with a finger nail and see if the...

East Bay Area, California -- ordered 11/15 - got call today (Sunday) - please pickup ASAP. Didn't check for VIN over the weekend, but it was there when I logged in and checked this morning. The floodgates are opening :-) good luck everybody!

Given the days going by in December, and the supposed assurance that all who've ordered up to this point will get cars before year end, the schedule you've suggested seems to be the most plausible. I'm still realistically expecting my car to NOT be delivered in the current decade (11/15 order...

Hehe it says that *now* but it did NOT say that when I put my order in - the estimate said 4-6 weeks. A member earlier stated that his 2 week estimated order placed in mid October still has not been fulfilled which means it's now 2x beyond the delivery estimate. This puts my 6 week estimate at...

Ordered on 16 November; I live < 15 miles from the Fremont factory. Nothing special ordered...the free white color with FSD. Based on all that I've read, I've set my aggressive expectations on a delivery in mid/late January 2020; but I know realistic is probably April (hopefully before tax day)...
