    Looking to move on....

    Hey everyone. I have a 2013 P85, early build. I've owned it now for about 2 years. Great car, lots of torque, very good family car, etc. The car or idea of an EV just doesn't fit with our family anymore. We're doing more and more day trips with some being at distances where round trips off...

    Vendor FS: 19" Slipstream - Michelin MXM4 - TPMS - Caps

    Lowest shipped to 18914. Somewhat interested although now that the post above pointed out these are summer tires vs what I originally thought were all seasons...I'm interest at a lower price.

    A Bad Idea, Whose Time May have Come

    Ok. So based on that, you have about $2400/month net left over for the Tesla payment plus your auto insurance. You said that you estimated the Tesla payment would be about $1100 in an earlier post. So now you're down to $1300/month net. Let's assume auto insurance is $200/month for both...

    A Bad Idea, Whose Time May have Come

    What do you drive now? Without knowing any financial details its a tough for us to provide any help. Will you put $ down? What are your other monthly expenses ie mortgage, wife's car payment, student loans, credit cards, etc? I know you said that your current job will end but why must you...

    Taking a day trip

    Just got back from the party. As others have mentioned, it was easy. Multiplier of 1.5 was plenty. I've been used to using 1.5 since I pretty much got my car in the winter and noticed temps below 30 really impacts range. Thanks for all of the support! Btw, 100% charge got me to 252. Not...

    Taking a day trip

    Temps will be about 50deg today. The drive is a mix of highway and country roads and will total 150 miles roundtrip. I'm going to do a Trip charge now since I've never done one before (got the car at the beginning of Dec) to see what it charges to.

    Taking a day trip

    So we have a day trip for a birthday party today. Every time I use EVTrip Planner, I always bump up the speed multiplier to something high like 1.5 with the hopes I get a worst case scenario. I sometimes add 10%-20% to the Rated Miles Used as well. In this case, EVTrip is saying that the total...

    Ready for a CPO

    There are great deals to be had. I picked up my 2013 p85, 31k miles, tech, pano, 21" wheels, performance interior, carbon fiber spoiler, air suspension, and upgraded stereo for $61k. PM me and I can tell how I got my CPO before it was listed on the website.

    Philly burbs

    I ran snow tires on my old BMW. RWD and snow tires are a must. Especially with a car that has torque. I have the 21" wheels with summer tires on the Model S. I think driving on those in the winter would be down right irresponsible. That's why I have snows.

    Philly burbs

    I wasn't originally going to get snow tires since my wife and I also have a Jetta and a Sierra 2500 but I figured that having all 3 vehicles "snow ready" doesn't hurt. I also have the 21" wheels/tires which really only needs the temp to be really low for them to be rock hard.

    Philly burbs

    Any fellow Philly burbs owners put their snow tires on yet? Been holding off since its been so nice. Btw, what are you guys running for snows? I went with 19" Drag rims, Dunlop Winter Maxx, and Tesla tpms. I think I paid about $1650 total. Fyi, Tesla TPMS was $50/corner straight from...

    Best time to buy a used model S?

    I took delivery last week of my cpo P85 with pano, 21", tech, air suspension, dual chargers, supercharger enabled, high fidelity sound, and carbon fiber spoiler with 30k miles for $61k. Took about a week to find but decent deals are there.

    Hubcentric rings

    So I'm about to pull the trigger on some winter wheels and tires. The wheels that I'm looking at have a center bore of 66.6 and I believe the Tesla is 64. I found rings that are 66.1 - 64.1. Do you guys think that will work?
