So to clarify, we get 50% of 71k, then 50% of anything on top of that?

My apologies, I meant the 85.. Big difference, my fault.

Well that's promising then.. I think they give 50% on base of car though, and a reduced rate (I've heard 42-48%? of upgrades) and the P85 is considered a $10k upgrade? I know I'm not rattling off firm data.. Looks like my build price is actually $90k.. Not sure how much those points factor in..

Ok.. I'll start off by admitting, I failed Algebra.. Math isn't my strong suit.. So I'm asking your help in the following.. If I buy a $95,000 Tesla P85. Put the 10% down.. Then finance the rest over 72 Months.. (excellent credit) Then trade it in with say 45k miles in 3 years. With the buy...

So I'm thinking about ordering the Model S.. My garage is attached to the house, but I can only access it from the large garage door from the exterior of house. My electric panel is in the laundry room, approximately 50 ft, from the garage.. Is this a big issue? If anyone knows, what would...

Wow.. What a group. I can't say I'm surprised to hear such thoughtful, articulate opinions and perspectives from the drivers of such a conscious car. That being said.. Thank you. Also, to those who quickly dismiss my post as "just another gas guzzler", "This car is obviously not for you", or...

Hi All- Great forum.. Glad to be a part of it. I went to my local mall today that has a Tesla Shop.. Did a test drive in the 85.. A few thoughts.. I'm a bit of an over-analyzer.. I also am a "car guy".. I can imagine most on here are.. I've had a Porsche 911-S, BMW 535i, drivers cars...
