    Body shop recommendations for Seattle area?

    I have had 3 different people scrap my MS in parking garages and yesterday the worst one occurred and the lady left actually a note. No denting just scrapes to the aluminum. Any recommendations on a paint shop?

    Anyone in the Seattle area have rear facing seats? Need to create some templates.

    It's ok, I did the install last weekend. The hip striker wire holes were not to hard to line up, everything else was easy to cut without any measuring. Thanks nonetheless.

    Anyone in the Seattle area have rear facing seats? Need to create some templates.

    I hope to do the RFS install this Sunday or Monday and need to create some carpet cut templates or get measurements primarily for the hip striker wires/latches on each wheel well. The insulation layer is pre-perforated but I haven't checked and don't think the underside of the carpet is...

    Tesla's 85 kWh rating needs an asterisk (up to 81 kWh, with up to ~77 kWh usable)

    A couple ideas and concerns: Instead of a fixed badge, make it digital with actual capacity/how much you have left, leave the P where applicable and add the L when selected. :tongue: "Patent Pending" Please don't ask for a refund, they'll make us 60 kWh folks pay for the 1.1 kWh.

    WTB: Rear Facing Seats $1000 - No longer needed

    PM sent. My MS is a low 4000s VIN so from what I read, it has the reinforced bumper. I have an appt with SC and will confirm.

    Gonna bail - anyone else?

    Waiting on a moving target was quite frustrating. If I was in your financial demographic I'd stick it out. I bailed on Model S 40 kWh as the date kept slipping and they kept doing press releases about how crippled it would be, battery not swappable, battery pack ballasted with dead weight, no...

    How rare are Model S' without the Tech Package

    I recently bought a very low mileage used S60 without it for under $50k. I was on the original waiting list for the S40 and wasn't considering the pkg then. The only thing that would be nice but isn't essential is driver profiles. My S has an even rarer config. 8 way textile seats. I would wager...

    V6. - V7. Performace Test on Non-AP Car

    So where are we now? I thought I saw some info that the S60 had better HP/ft-lb/top speed and ~5.6 0-60 but can't find it anywhere. The original specs on my S60 were: "The S 60 was equipped with a 302 HP 317 ft-lb torque rear motor with a top speed of 110 mph and 0-60 mph acceleration in 5.9...

    Has my early VIN 60 kWh's performance changed?

    I searched here for any threads about firmware updates that improved performance to no avail. I have P04001 with the rev a battery and latest firmware. Is my performance any different than originally published? "The S 60 was equipped with a 302 HP 317 ft-lb torque rear motor with a top...

    New Telsa to the Great NW. Introduction, WTB, and a few questions

    I ended up going to the SODO SC. Top Notch! My main screen always had some adhesive that had seeped in and dried on the right side so they replaced it along with the new trunk floor cover and 12V jump post. Fix the black goo smear when opening the Pano and new FOB battery. Firmware update too...

    New Telsa to the Great NW. Introduction, WTB, and a few questions

    I bought from a private seller and did a bill of sale. It doesn't matter what you bought if for, the state will determine Retail Fair Market Value if not bought from a dealership. RFMV was $14K more than I paid so ~$1400 more 'use' tax. No biggie but I guess years of fudged bills of sale...

    New Telsa to the Great NW. Introduction, WTB, and a few questions

    Most the threads I read here state they shipped all/most early VINs with the extra bumper up to around 5800. Mine is P04001 but I'll certainly ask when I take in for the first issue or service.

    New Telsa to the Great NW. Introduction, WTB, and a few questions

    I purchase a used 2013 60 kWh from Capt Dave in NY. Had it shipped out and it arrived on Monday. So happy! I was on the waiting list for a 40 kWh and the 1st non employee to test drive a MS in Seattle but didn't pull the trigger on the mystery battery not swappable no supercharger not sure...

    Transferring car to new owner

    I called after 5 days of submitting the proof and they transferred it the next morning. Good timing as my MS was getting shipped coast to coast and I obsessively tracked it. OT: Funny thing about the iPhone app, you'll get city and state on the main page but if you select Location, it would...
