    Value of my S40?

    I'm considering selling, but don't know where to start other than carmax. Any idea how much my 2013 S40 black with tan leather, obeche matte, tech pkg, pano roof, w/ jump seats is worth to carmax with 37k mi? Would Tesla buy back even if I'm not trading in? If so would they give a better price...

    Green car tax

    That's rich! I just thought this was strange so I wanted to see what others had to say on the matter. Thanks for all the great posts, I somehow agreed with all of them. As another poster pointed out, the tax layers conflict. I'm not anti-tax at all. But I just paid a lot to the state in...

    Green car tax

    Maybe I'm the last to hear about this, but I just discovered I will be levied a green car tax in VA for all the gas I won't be using. It's only$64, but I heard Oregon's will be over $500 and NJ is considering something similar.

    Pet Names for the Model S

    Tess was the name of my black lab growing up; my black 40 is, of course, Tess. Bonus: my kids' school mascot is Tess the Turtle, so they think they picked the name.

    Partial Recall announced on blog for Model S

    That's great, Brendan! After inquiring with headquarters, they asked the service center to call. We arranged for the fix to be completed in my driveway during one of my telework days this week. It's nice, because I will still be able to do morning and afternoon carpool, without moving kid...

    Partial Recall announced on blog for Model S

    I've only had my car for two weeks and I am impacted by the recall, so I am sad to lose this car for a day. Dumb question: is the left side seat in question the one directly behind the driver? My kids sit there all the time... Should I preferentially use the jump seats til the fix? i got...

    40 kWh Delivery Timing

    Got my 40 yesterday from Rockville! Mostly I'm driving like a nervous grandma, but I did accidentally go from 20 to something way above the speed limit in a few seconds on an on-ramp. 4 families have already stopped by to ask questions. I've downloaded the Tesla app and Recargo. What next? I...

    40 kWh Delivery Timing

    I was scheduled to pick mine up on the 14th, but now they are saying it will be here in 3 days! That's exciting! I would love to know a total for 40s. So, I live in VA, but am picking up in MD. I was told that they can no longer register my car for me, that I have to do it myself for Virginia...

    Agonizingly slow charging at 120 volts

    Maybe this is a silly question... Is leaving your S overnight in a public charging spot "safe"? Can anyone remove the plug? Wouldn't someone get annoyed with me if I leave my car there for 12 hours overNight while sleeping, taking up the spot for another user? i get my 40 in 2 weeks and...

    Random Model S sightings

    I live in Arlington, Va and saw my first S in my area on January 6th at a Starbucks in a strip mall--white. My husband saw a blonde lady in a black S in the same lot. Then I met an owner of a black 85 in our daycare lot as he was leaving Bank of America, not married to a blonde lady, so a...

    40 kWh Delivery Timing

    Don't know. Calling them hasn't been successful. I got a delivery window of 6/5-6/19, though. And my VIN email said I was heading to production. I have to be one of, if not the last 40, because I didn't decide til the last few minutes possible. Many thanks to the lady who did the test drive...

    Outdoor Outlet Installed!

    Oh, wow, 250'! My house width is 35'. We are going from one side of the basement to another, inside the house until they come through for the outdoor outlet nearest my driveway. Sorry if I was being confusing.
