Just to insert some positivity back into the thread: Took delivery of my P85D from the Fremont factory on Sunday, and oh my, does it go! A previous TMC user posted that after flooring it on a freeway onramp, the butterflies in his stomach were still there 15 minutes later, and I experienced the...

Thanks for the kind and not at all condescending suggestion, but sadly I don't have the car yet so I can't just look for myself. I'm not sure quite why you're suggesting the ExtremeContact DW is an all-season tire; can you clarify? Here's the product page, which claims otherwise. Is there...

My plan is to have the all-weather tires on my P85D replaced with summer tires since it never snows where I live. Now that there are some P85Ds in the wild, can someone post exactly what the tires on the 19" wheels are? I've heard conflicting reports about whether the 19" wheels are staggered or...

64013 in production this morning. And I am pretty excited. Now the nail-biter is, will it be done in time for me to drive it to my parents' house on Christmas and take my dad out for a spin? Seems possible but unlikely.

I actually expect to see at least a few used P85Ds go up for sale in the next month for exactly this reason. A number of people posting in this thread and elsewhere have mentioned it's their first performance car; they could find it's too much for them to confidently handle. I'm in this camp...

I'm holding off buying new tires (high-performance 19" summer ones in my case, since I live in a non-snowy area where there are enough potholes to ruin the 21" wheels) until I actually have the car, or at least until people who ordered 19" wheels get their cars and report exactly what the tire...

Today my estimated delivery date changed from "December" to "Late December." Which doesn't contradict what my Tesla rep told me (namely, possibly as early as the 18th but most likely the week of the 22nd) but wasn't what I was hoping to see when I hit refresh!

Expect to wait a few weeks for your VIN. I confirmed on October 14 and got my VIN on November 3. Now that they are actually building the cars, that delay might change, but in any case it isn't instantaneous. I didn't get email about it, but I was visiting the My Tesla page several times a day so...

Actually my hunch is it's just the opposite -- they are trying to handle the out-of-state (and out-of-country) orders first so they can maximize their 2014 deliveries. No real evidence other than the fact that the Canadians on the spreadsheet seemed to be told their delivery dates a lot sooner...

Just heard from my DS (or rather, my "Customer Experience Specialist"). In his words: I put December 22 in the spreadsheet but hopefully it'll be the previous week instead. Either way, it'll be a nice Christmas present!

Thanks! I have an "E" so I guess it's 2014.

I was just assigned a VIN for December delivery, so I'm talking to my insurance company about adding the Tesla to my coverage. They want to know the car's year, and I'm not sure what to tell them since Tesla doesn't do model years like other carmakers do. I'd say "2015" if I were buying a...
