*PRICE DROP* $380 shipped OBO. Let's get these sold.

It means there was a nail puncture that was repaired. See this youtube video to gain an understanding of the repair process:

If anyone is concerned with the 253 miles of rated range, my 2015 late September manufactured Model S P90DL gets anywhere from 250-255 miles of rated range at < 31k miles and occasional supercharging + occasional charges to 100%. It's just a thought, but it may be that the car gets less rated...

Thanks for the feedback. I agree with the more simplistic approach and use it for the most part. My friend happens to be an engineer (I am a Software Engineer), so I tailored the response to be a bit more precise.

Could you please link to wk057's data, azred? That's right about battery size; if you want to get really technical, then you have to take into account that the battery size in the various Model S vehicles may not be exactly as advertised. I believe the 100kwh battery is larger than 100kwh, for...

A friend asked, "What is the range [of your Tesla Model S]? Do you have the smaller battery or bigger one? Have you taken it on road trips where there is mountains and how does that affect the batteries?" Range is a very common question among electric vehicle potential buyers, and the short...

This is true. Even if you live out of state, if you take delivery of your vehicle in California, then you will have to pay California's sales tax rate. Also, one of the things you may be able to save money on is the car delivery fee ($1500 I believe). I was able to get it waived for my car, but...

Nice deal on these! I'm a Baltimore local and would have purchased these if I had not purchased others (older style wheels, 19" all-seasons) a month ago. Looks like the price was right as these sold quickly! They're $2,500 new through Tesla, after all!

Yes, you are King Off-topic: I've been running v8.0 for two days. My advice would be to upgrade because, in my opinion at least, I would not want to go without the updates now that I have them. I love the navigation screen updates, music selection updates, and autopilot updates. It's definitely...

Beautiful! Enjoy! :D

Expect the car to ship/arrive within 10 business days, then expect to wait a few more business days to get on the schedule for orientation and while the car is being prepared for delivery. I ordered my car on July 16 and took delivery Aug. 3rd.

I am the kind of buyer who can afford to purchase a 6 figure Model S but cannot afford a 6 figure Lamborghini. While I could afford to purchase the Lambo, the money spent on driving it would pain me. On top of that, my driveway is steep and would bottom out a sports car. Bottom line: the Tesla...

I'm happy that everyone is obtaining great lease deals for the P90DL, but I'm wondering - how do you put only 10,000 to 15,000 miles on the car in a given year? Do you also drive a 2nd vehicle? My commute is 5 miles each way, but I've somehow managed to drive 1,800 miles in one month of...
