    Cancelled My Reservation - Refund Timeline is Rediculous

    Reservation Cancellation Hi Knight Rider, I was wondering what the email address you sent the request email to was? I have sent 3 emails over this past month to 3 different addresses (1 to the configuration specialist, 1 to NA sales, 1 to Ownership) requesting the reservation be...

    Wheel trading

    I still haven't finalized my order yet. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in trading their 19" wheels for the 21" (plus some $)? If someone can take advantage of that, I'd rather do that than donate the extra money to Tesla. I am located in the Vancouver (BC) and willing to go as...

    Thanks, Bonnie. There hasn't been very much movement in that thread, but I see that there are new posts today :)

    Canadian Pricing and Delivery

    Not sure if you have finished negotiating the details? Would you be willing to disclose the relevant leasing information (terms, interest rate, down payment, and residual value)? If not, could you perhaps weigh in on how the rates compare with those when leasing an ICE vehicle? Did the...

    I still haven't finalized my order yet. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in trading their 19" wheels for the 21" (plus some $)? If someone can take advantage of that, I'd rather do that than donate more money to Tesla :) I am located in the Vancouver area, but if shipping cost...

    Picture Request - White Leather and Carbon Fiber and Piano Black Trim

    I was wondering if anyone has pictures that they could share, showing white leather with carbon fiber vs with piano black. IIRC, the white is really more of a beige than snow white, correct? Piano black looks really smooth and shiny (could reflect sun light into the eyes at the most...

    Carbon Fiber Health & Safety

    Not sure if this has been discussed in the forum, I was thinking of going with the CF trim, but am now having second thoughts after reading about carbon fiber in several articles pointing to the fact that when carbon fiber breaks, it creates very sharp splinters. In a crash, couldn't the CF...

    Wire Gauge Size for 50 Amps

    Hi, After checking out the article here <American wire gauge>, it appears that AWG #6 is sufficient for a 50-amp setup (for NEMA 14-50). However, I recall reading some posts here on TMC saying that it would be better to go bigger (#4, not sure if #5 is common). To my mind, a thicker wire...

    Combining two 120V into a 240V connector

    Thank you for the detailed explanation that's clear to someone who is not an electrical engineer. It sounds like it's way easier to just rewire with a thicker wire to double the current draw :) What do you mean when you said it's something entirely different when people combine two NEMA 14-50...

    Canadian Pricing and Delivery

    Hi Jgdixon, just wondering if you had heard more information regarding the possibility of leasing a Model S? Are there companies that buy the cars you want to lease? Do you know what these types of companies are called? (so I could do a search on the Internet. lol)

    Combining two 120V into a 240V connector

    Combining Two Lines to Double the Amperaage From reading the forum it appears combining two 120V into a 240V requires finding two outlets that are out of phase. How about doubling the amperage instead of voltage? Is it possible to combine two 120V @ 12A to provide 120V @ 24A of charging, or...

    A Real MVPA

    Perhaps ask for a satellite phone from your boss? :) I also only have an emergency mobile phone used mainly to make outgoing calls when needed, so it stays off 99.9% of the time. I don't have Wi-Fi at home, either, so I plan to tell the delivery specialist that I can simply drive to Starbucks...

    Model S: Clever Vanity Plates

    Repainting Model S

    I did a quick a search, and I quote the company (12-Point SignWorks - Franklin, TN | Lobby Signs, Vehicle Wraps, Custom Business Signs ) and their price list from the first search result: -------------- "However, this isn't always the case for solid color wraps, where the vehicle's original...

    Help with picking interior trim type, real photos?

    What do TMC members think of the following combination: Sig Red paint, White leather, Carbon Fiber trim? I haven't found any photos showcasing this particular setup. Also, would the dark gray wheels match Sig Red paint? In fact, are there any colors that don't look good together with the...
