Tommy, Interesting comments. I am somewhat curious about the driving experience. I certainly agree that the MS is an impressive car but at the same time I'm not sure why you feel that "No ICE car can compare". Having test-driven every Telsa variant I can honestly say that an M5, and this is...

Jerry, I would tend to agree that the type A wear you're describing is normal and to be expected. My concern is about this type B. When my friends P85 was "diagnosed" by Telsa they only mentioned to him that the "Alignment" was off spec. He's not a car person and didn't ask what they found to...

With two days to go to finalize my order I’m finding myself experiencing a case of “tesla anxiety”. After spending several hours each day last week reading the forums and Tesla blogs I started getting worried about the seemingly large number of owners experiencing all sorts of mechanical...

I appreciate all the feedback. Definitely lets me make a more informed decision. Having said that I'm starting to think a "base" 85 may be a slightly better value long term. Ditching the high power charging at home (does not seem as necessary with the added range) and the Pano Roof (nice but I...

Do you mind sharing why the regret? Is it because of slower performance or specifically range?

I am pretty sure this has already been discussed at length but I'm wondering if anybody here has some first hand real world experience with a commute similar to mine. I have a roughly 70 miles/day round trip drive that's 90% highway. At first glance it seemed like the 60kw variant will have just...
