    LIftgate glass contacted body during closing, cracked glass, warranty refused!

    Only three weeks to get Tesla to acknowledge a flaw that would be immediately obvious to anyone?! Wow! That's such good service - NOT. :(

    Model S/X deliveries drop off cliff, down 56%

    Well, better. But still a $71,600 cash price, and the inventory 75’s will be gone soon.

    Model S/X deliveries drop off cliff, down 56%

    It’s only my opinion, but I think the two primary reasons for the S/X sales drops are: 1. Prices for a new S or X have risen significantly. For example, the lowest-cost S is now $85k, and much more if a few basic options are added. p.s. Opinion: Things such as paint should not cost extra on a...

    Don't cancel your M3 just yet....

    Getting back to the OP, keep in mind that GM, Tesla, and Ford are now the three largest U.S. automakers by market capitalization.

    Current owners of 40 kWh configuration

    The 40-->60 upgrade is already $2500. It would be great if Supercharger access could be reduced to something lower than $2500.

    No need. $2500 is the current 40 -> 60 upgrade price. Now if we can just get Supercharging for less than $2500...

    Current owners of 40 kWh configuration

    The S40 has the same charger as every other May/June 2013 model. No new charger should be necessary unless there are unusual circumstances. When was your car made?

    Sorry for the delayed response. I don't read these often. The 40->60 upgrade was completed at my home via an OTA update. Payment of $2500 was coordinated through the local Service Center. My understanding is that the upgrade was then triggered by the Tesla Engineering Department at HQ in...

    Update: Tesla dropped the 40->60 upgrade price from $11,000 to $2,500. The upgrade doesn't included Supercharger access which remains an additional $2,500,

    Lawsuit: Layoffs not Performance Reviews

    Per both Tesla and the the UAW, there seems to be strong correlation between low performers and union organizers. Was there a lot of overlap among these two groups? On one hand, it could be said that Tesla used performance as an excuse to fire union organizers. On the other hand, it could be...

    Yes, the lowest base price was $57,400.

    The trade delay is possible. However, I thinks it's more likely that the upgrades will make the cars more marketable. Owners could then trade/sell the cars and purchase a newer Tesla model. This would benefit Tesla. The new 60 owner is also brought into the Tesla world and this may expand...

    Current owners of 40 kWh configuration

    Again, thanks for the clarifications. Another way to look at it: I don't know how many 40's still exist, but to keep the math simple, let's assume there are still 200 because many have already been upgraded or traded-in. To bring the remaining 200 cars up to 60 kWh and activate the...
