Take it down.

I just signed up for the: 4-Year Plan Tesla Service for four years Up to 50,000 miles Tesla Ranger service optional for $100 per visit. I am only 15 miles from the Rockville Service Center so this will give me the opportunity to get a P85 as a loaner. Now I just need to start racking up...

Deer Collision - Availibily of parts issue Collision repair update. So, the car is painted and aluminum repaired. Criswell Collision shop is just waiting on one rear bumper bracket to finish the job. The car has been in the shop 3 weeks waiting on this part. At the shop, they said another...

Yep, that is what usually happens when you run into a moving car. I was going to gut it with my buck knife and eat it, but it ran off.

I hear ya, In Maryland, there were plans to sterilize the deer to keep the population down. But the tree-huggers fought it. Now they have some culling periods in certain areas to reduce the herd -- mostly on private lands. We are in Howard County, there a 6 deer living in the woods next to our...

I hear a Moose hit is horrible. Being that they are taller and the bulk of the body will fly through the windhshield once it gets clipped by the car. Most times the driver gets killed. Need to have a truck with a cattle bar or Roo bar on the front.

Now if MobilEye could add a sensor to detect Deer, that would be a billion dollar product. Bottom line, you can't prevent the damn deer strikes. A friend had one jump onto the hood of his truck as he was driving down his lane going 5 mph. Tesla is definitely looking at the car to see the type...

Deer Collision - Availibily of parts issue So, two weeks after picking up the Tesla and only 600 miles on her, I get T-Boned by a deer at 6:15 am on the way to work. I was on a country road, rounding a curve, deer darts out of the tree line and thump. Sounded like I was pelted with a few...

Done. Spoke with Nathan about ordering a cargo net. Yup, very surprised about the 8-day tag delivery. Very un-expected especially if you ever dealt with the state workers in Glen Burnie.

Quick follow up. Received my Maryland tags today. 8 business days after picking up the vehicle from the Tesla Rockville Service Center. Tesla HQ also confirmed they do the Maryland State refund and send the check when they get it. Two thumbs up. I also need a cargo net too. I was trying to...

What accessories do they sell at the Service Center? I do not recall seeing a showcase. I did a bunch of brochures. Now I need a cargo net. Thanks for asking about the MD Tax Credit check. I honestly thought I had to wait to file my 2013 taxes to get this.

Wow, that is completely awesome. It is cool that they were all informed, all the way to the top, and looking for the solution. This says alot about how prepared the Rockville Service center is to diagnose situations like these. In addition to be able to work with the west coast Tesla Engineers...

@kendallpb Thanks for clarifying the MD tax rebate/credit. Now I just have to avoid Howard County's finest for the next 3 weeks until my tags arrive.

I am confused. Tesla never mentioned they would be filing for the Maryland EV Tax Credit for me. So, I paid the full 6% Maryland sales tax on my MVPA. The MD incentive states: Electric Vehicle (EV) Tax Credit: A tax credit of up to $2,000 is available against the excise tax imposed for the...
