Must live right! I have been waiting for months.

Congrats!

I am having remarkable difficulty getting skidpad results for the new Tesla S. I found it for the Plaid (1.08), presumably the same for the S LR with bigger tires, but could not find it for S's with the standard 19 inch tires. Any clues?

I did not realize you could do a vinyl wrap on the interior (I only learned about them to begin with recently). Makes sense.

In Bethesda, MD at the Montgomery Mall. I liked the Tesla rep, Jordan, who seemed very knowledgeable. I had to ask for it, but he did walk me through the car's features, then put me in the car and (I am paraphrasing) said see you in 45 minutes. At no time did I feel rushed. It had the 19 inch...

I came across a used 2021 (yoke model) with 3 owners and around 16,000 miles in the low 90s. Seemed startling to have that many owners in so little time. Lemon?

That a used one might involve fewer headaches than a new one is a good (mostly Tesla-specific) argument.

Good point 2101. We forget that the Tesla of today commonly outperforms most performance cars today, and blows away most performance cars from just a few years ago. 0-60 in 4 seconds use to be rarely achieved by an ICE, and even now it is only the higher end ones that can get into the 3's...

10K is not nothing for me either, but I too see it as not enough. I have driven a Plaid but not the LR yet (have a test drive scheduled). The Plaid is definitely a rocket, but probably a bit dangerous on the street. Floor it instinctively in an emergency and one could lose control. Like you...

I put an order in for an S. I currently have a Dec-Feb window for the LR. When I placed the order, used S's were going for close to list. But now they are (inevitably) coming down. I looks like currently I could pretty readily save $10,000 buy buying a low mileage used (yoke-style) S. I am...

When I looked at used prices on the 2021/2022 (yoke models) in the past, they were essentially as much as buying new. Now it seems the used prices are softening a bit. Saw a 2021/yoke with about 10,000 miles for about $96,000 (I assume base model). That leaves the old trade off between cost...

There is an argument that the agent you spoke to overrode the contract (how good an argument is another question). I don't know if it is worth the bother, but you could try a small claims action in NC. I don't know what the small claims limits are there. In some states it around a max of...

FWIW, telling me that I can have an S LR as early this Friday if I were willing to accept a different color (picked white) and different wheels (I chose 19"). I was not interested, but consistent with some other posts we have seen, it does suggest supply is loosening up a bit,which one would...

Available or not, my delivery date has not been advanced. I wonder if it is a function of where one is in the country. Perhaps on the west coast it takes longer (Camas is a suburb of Portland, OR). I actually work in Baltimore, MD (it is complicated). I finally managed to wrangle a test...

Wow, Lee, that is even worse than I thought. I was guessing closer to 10, but can believe 20. I doubt if it is cheaper in Camas (though I actually spend part of the year in Baltimore). Nice looking cars, Gruiz, though a bit flashier than I would want.
