Online reservation at 7:35pm PDT. No email from Tesla but my reservation number is now on MyTesla. RN10713XXXX

I'm driving home from Costco and I pull up at a stop light next to a brand new grey P85D with grey turbines (still Tesla paper plate on the back). Roll down my window to congratulate the owner on their new car. I give him a wave, he looks at me...and...rolls his window up. No wave. No...

I get this constantly from a neighbor whose wife has put the banhammer down on his Tesla dreams. Every time I see him he's like, "That Model S is always parked in the wrong driveway..."

I got an invite by e-mail--anybody else planning to go? Impromptu meetup?

Applied 3/30/14, Docs received 4/3/14, Approved 4/16/14, and I received my check this past Saturday, 9/27/14 :D

Question -- do you know if a plugging a puncture is permanent, or can a tire shop reverse the plug and put a proper patch in? I guess I'm wondering if I can plug in an emergency so that I can get to a tire shop on my own and then properly repair the puncture and avoid voiding the warranty.

There's a bunch of different patch kits on Amazon that I'm seeing. Anything you would recommend?

Yeah he pretty much said what you said -- puncture in the sidewall is pretty much a death sentence for a tire, and slime kit won't save it either. I apologized for sliming the tire, too--he was a good sport about it :tongue: - - - Updated - - - Yeah the TPMS sensor was actually fine. He...

35 here, as is my wife. Next goal is the Ferrari (or Bentley, if my wife has her way) :D

Update: the tire had a nail embedded in the inner sidewall. Tire guy told me slime wouldn't have saved me with the position the nail was in. New tire installed, and I am very impressed with Tesla roadside assistance.

Yeah the slime kit I have includes the compressor. Couldn't increase pressure above about 25psi and it would fall once I turned it off. We'll see how bad the puncture is once I get to the tire shop.

Got a low pressure warning on the freeway and limped to a gas station. I had a slime repair kit (similar to the Tesla tire repair kit) that failed to reinflate the tire, so I called Tesla roadside service. They had a flatbed to me in 15 minutes and an appointment with America's Tire and a...

I have the cloth seats and a 1.5 year old. Absolutely no regrets--the cloth is fantastic. Also, cleanup doesn't seem to be an issue thus far, although I don't give my kid any liquids other than water when we're in the car, so I can't speak to milk/OJ/apple juice/whiskey/beer.

Ooh nice. Penciled in my calendar :D Is there a website for this?

Holy necro thread, Batman... I believe Ting sold his Model S or is in the process of selling it.
