    Deferring my order until forum members start to take delivery of their Sig's

    keep the faith! remember Elon's tweet on 8/22/2012 " ...Production line review is looking good" Elon Musk is not a bull shitter. He calls it as he sees it. He is surrounded by a solid executive team (eg. Gilbert Passin) so I believe they will continue to execute and pull it together. That...

    Model S Mirrors

    What does the Parcel Shelf look like?

    Not sure if this has been said. The "shelf" idea is a disaster. Why not simply offer a retractable cloth cover? Much more elegant (IMO) than a slab of plastic/cardboard. A retractable solution would coil up and not waste any space when privacy isn't a concern. Tesla are you listening? This...
