    2021 MS 19” Tempest Delivery Tracking

    Wow ... you are a very patient person :) Hopefully, I would not have to wait as long as you've waited. Also - I hope you get your car very soon ... you've waited long enough.

    2021 MS 19” Tempest Delivery Tracking

    Good for you :) When I ordered a few days ago, it said August-September, then it changed to October. Now, it says nothing ... just "We will reach out to you to schedule your delivery date". I asked the local service advisor and she said ... November. LOL.

    Prospective Buyer of Model S

    With an order in for Model S, I have been reading about Tesla ownership and coming across "Customer Service" related threads. "Bad Customer Service" can mean different things to different people. Some consider not getting a loaner to be "Bad Customer Service". Some are offended by a service...

    Request: Video review from Plaid owner!

    Range over performance

    Thanks for the welcome ... I appreciate it. I agree that going slower will result in a longer range ... that's no different for EV or ICE vehicles. But as a highway driver, I am sensitive to highway range ... hence the question/post :) For someone like me, I would love to have more highway...

    Range over performance

    Hello I am a brand new member and have placed an order for Model S LR. I have owned more than my fair share of cars but Model S would be my first EV replacing my Lotus Evora GT. My main concern with current EVs has been highway range. The 400+ mile Model S is the first time I am feeling...
