For those of us who aren't lucky enough to attend, will someone be so kind as to "live blog" from the event? This is exciting! :biggrin:

I was short on range this weekend down in LA and called Glendale Nissan. Spoke to a super nice sales associate who double checked that both their level 2 chargers were available. He didn't even hesitate! Sometimes, just need to ask for what you want nicely :)

The Fremont showroom has these hats in stock, at least when I was there on April 10.

That's pretty good -- the cheapest P85D that I saw when I was hunting for a deal was around $113K.

I was at the Fremont factory for a tour and they had just gotten their ocean blue 70D moments before I arrived at the supercharger. Just had to share :)

Don't get me wrong--I'm a big fan to TSLA, but thought this piece was interesting from the WSJ as a counterpoint. The author looks at metrics beyond just the number of cars delivered to value the company. Tesla’s Speed Isn’t the Whole Story -- Heard on the Street - WSJ

Hey Jbcarioca, as a point of reference, I asked for a $500 credit for full detail and overall reconditioning of the car and was flatly told no. The owner advisor's take was that the discount on the car accounted for the wear and tear. For wheels, I know the cars should have at a minimum 4/32"...

Pleasantly surprised--added myself to waitlist on 3/16/15 and received email to order on 4/3/15.

I saw your comment about tire wear coming in less than the rated wear and noodled on this for a bit. I bet the tire manufacturers tested the tires on standard iCE vehicles that do not have regenerative braking. My hunch (and I'd love for someone to confirm), is that the aggressive regen causes...

Glad folks are sharing their experiences and hope the folks over at TM are following this thread in the hopes this helps make the delivery experience more consistent. The car was a loaner based in Fremont and I live in San Francisco, but was told it was constantly in use by clients. I don't...

Cyclone, feel free to hit me up if you have any questions! Happy to provide any perspective since I know what it's like to be in your shoes. You're lucky to have seen the car in person before delivery. I was not allowed to see mine until delivery. Regardless, you got a great deal and the...

I’ve benefitted from reading hours worth of content in TMC and wanted to contribute back to the community. This is my first real post and wanted to share some the lessons I’ve learned about taking delivery of an inventory Model S. For better or worse, I’m a a very detail oriented guy and the...

Lol, I didn't watch too long but when I got the car back, her average was well over 400 watt-hr/mile!
