Link to the inventory list please. Just on tesla.com and didn't see any link.

Is the X owner really going to want to do the downsize to a Y? Tiny in comparison if just a few inches expanded M3. I drive a mid sized SW, a Prius v (no longer made) and was stuck in traffic for 10 minutes yesterday. A blue M3 was directly behind me and I was admiring it but noticing how small...

So they charge a $1k reservation on top of the price shown on the web page plus S&L and taxes?

I'd wait as I'm thinking that within 6 months they will either have dropped the price or changed to the next generation of hardware to support Autonomous. I think 2 more quarters of financials should have made their future clearer. In TN I'd rather have a lighter color than either for the...

I've been buying cars for 53 years and only once did I pay by bank/certified check and that was at a dealer two states over where I ordered over the net and railroaded in and drove back to save $3k over the local dealer. If they can't trust my personal check, I don't want to trust them. And...

I decided not to buy a Tesla at this time despite wanting one and having the money. Why you ask. Because of service stories. I currently drive a Toyota Prius. 53k miles and 2 problems. One a flash at the next dealer visit fixed the slow nav issue. The other problem occurred 4 times...

My bet is they are doing two things. First defining the content of the low cost low range model. And second perhaps preparing to change the content of the higher range and cost models by including the hardware for auto-driving 3.0 and perhaps even the battery chemistry. I think it a positive...

What makes you think that part of their total compensation isn't volume driven? I've seen it said in other posts it is.

Gummi Pflege the door seals and trunks seals every 6 months. Comes in a shoe polish like applicator, takes three minutes. Keeps the "rubber" seals flexible.

The motors have bearings don't they? And stressing them when cold isn't too great for them I'd imagine. Don't you want all the thermal changes to have occurred and for things to be in a steady "normal" state before stressing things?

January Raleigh experiences?

Service convenience and parts availability are two important items. One of my vehicles is a Prius and I had a rare (defined as no other report of a similar error message when googled) problem. One problem in 6+ years. My dealer was 2 miles away in my small town. Parts for such a rare failure...

Income and net worth are two different items. Some even keep income down.

Ya know, there is something to be said for a dealership with a sales manager who doesn't want you standing in the middle of his (or her) showroom floor and in a firm well modulated voice audible throughout the showroom asking for someone to step up and fix a problem that has become ridiculous...

I loved it the first time I took some trash to the county recycle place and opened both the trunk and frunk, I don't think the attendant had ever seen such and he was literally running to ask/see where the engine was. The car was a mid-engined ICE. You can hide Xmas presents for one person in...
