Great News!

When entering, I have clearance of 4.4 inches on each side but am still very careful when backing out. Once the mirrors clear the door frame I find that I am paranoid about scraping the fenders.:scared:

I have VIN 275xx and I do have the tow hook.

Surprises: I am surprised that my grin has not left my face! I drove my LEAF the other day in ECO and was surprised to find that single pedal driving is much easier for me in the Model S. I enjoy having the Model S virtually stop itself with regen in low. I was pleasantly surprised at the...

Congrats to you, also! My detailer told me to keep the "California Duster" handy which I will gladly do to keep it sparkling. I am so glad that I chose the Blue Metallic!!

Here she is after being detailed and parked under her new Tesla sign.

When I had my Blink EVSE installed in 2011 for my LEAF, SD County inspectors decided that my panel could only handle a 40 amp 240 volt circuit. My plan for the near term was to charge my MS at 32 amps until the future when I decided what to do about solar, panel upgrade, etc. I agree with your...

I can offer you 240V, 20 amp charging at my home just east of El Cajon. (I just got my car and I need to get an electrician out to trouble shoot my 40 amp circuit that trips the breaker when drawing 32 amps.) PM me if you are interested.

I arrived at the Tesla pick up point promptly at noon. After the orientation and document signing I went on a 270 mile road trip. First stop was Culver City in LA to run an errand. I then went to the Tesla Super Charger in Hawthorne. I charged the car to 235 miles while I got a bite to eat and...

I pick up at noon. I am excited :biggrin: and have spent the day getting prepared for tomorrow. I hope I can sleep tonight! My car will be charged to 200 rated miles and ready for a mini road trip. I'll have my son, grandson, and two friends to help me with the check list and then we'll be...

Congrats! The car looks fantastic. Your rear facing passengers also have the Tesla grin.

You and your kids are probably on the road now in your "not as clean as we would like it" Model S. I can just imagine a family of Tesla Grins. Enjoy!! - - - Updated - - - Production Complete!! :biggrin:

It looks like you are 2 hours from delivery!! I will include California Premier Solar in the mix as I also have a clay tile roof. I have not seen a Model S in my neighborhood but if I mount a gun rack in the back window I'll fit in. :scared:

No news on my end...I'll be cheering your delivery tomorrow. What design did you choose? I'll be looking for your car around San Diego. Who did your solar?

You must REALLY be excited now with about 21 hours to go!!!
