    No Cupholders for front seats?

    I'm looking at 2015 MS 90d and 85d. Most I see listed show two cupholders directly in front of the armrests between the front seats. But some appear to show no cupholders in those positions (or anywhere else, because I can see the yacht floor). Were cupholders in 2015 an option and how were...

    Tips for New Owner - 1K Mile Road Trip as First Drive - Firmware Update?

    Thanks for laying it out so clearly -- much appreciated!

    Tips for New Owner - 1K Mile Road Trip as First Drive - Firmware Update?

    New question -- can somebody walk me through the steps to set the car up for a "range charge" to get the maximum 100% charge -- which screens/buttons to push? Photos of the screen would be incredibly helpful - Thanks

    Tips for New Owner - 1K Mile Road Trip as First Drive - Firmware Update?

    He's a good guy but knows nothing about the car. It was the company car of a former exec. Based on our interaction to date, he is a solid guy but I don't want him doing anything even remotely sensitive. Feel free to tell me I'm being paranoid but I'm thinking I'd rather drive on the old...

    Tips for New Owner - 1K Mile Road Trip as First Drive - Firmware Update?

    Sorry but I don't understand. Do you think that the service guy's notation is "what firmware it currently runs" meaning that I do not have to wait for the car to update? Or do you think that is is "downloaded and waiting for installation?" I understand that the yellow clock symbol would...

    Tips for New Owner - 1K Mile Road Trip as First Drive - Firmware Update?

    Interesting - I wonder whether the guy misunderstood the service tech and the firmware already has been updated - or whether this is "on" the car but not yet loaded/implemented. Anybody care to hazard a guess?

    Tips for New Owner - 1K Mile Road Trip as First Drive - Firmware Update?

    The guy I'm getting the car from sent me a report from the mobile service tech that makes the following reference to the firmware. Unclear to me whether the v. referenced is already in the car or that is the update that is ready to load. Can anybody decipher this: Courtesy Inspection Pulled...

    Tips for New Owner - 1K Mile Road Trip as First Drive - Firmware Update?

    Thanks - I do enjoy being exposed to new stuff through Deezer, the streaming service I use, so that will be useful on Slacker. But on my test drive I found the sound quality of FLAC to be vastly better than Slacker (with Ultra HiFi) so its worth it to me to make the stick.

    Tips for New Owner - 1K Mile Road Trip as First Drive - Firmware Update?

    Thanks - picking it up in Pensecola - so should get good range for the first half of the drive at least. How do I get to "choose" when the car updates? Do I have to accept the update on the screen or is there some other method? Should I play it safe and wait until I get home to update? I'd...

    Tips for New Owner - 1K Mile Road Trip as First Drive - Firmware Update?

    If all goes right, I will be flying out to get my 2015 MS 90d next week and immediately driving 1000 miles back to Chicago. I'm planning my supercharger route and loading FLAC tunes on USB sticks. Any helpful hints from wiper and stereo settings, to charging tips would be much appreciated...

    OEM Tires? late 2015 MS90d w/19"

    What were the available OEM tires the could have been delivered with a 2015 MS90d w/ 19" Silver Cyclone wheels -- order date October 2015, delivery early December 2015? Were all options a/s or was it possible to get summer performance tires? Assume the order sheet is silent on tires. Thanks

    P90DL Inventory cars

    To be absolutely clear, I am confident that your OA told you this and I suspect that h/she was accurate. I doubt my OA’s efforts, given this incident and others.

    P90DL Inventory cars

    So I don't mean to offend and I'm not vouching for his opinion but my OA claims these deals never existed. If I had to bet, I'd say my OA is wrong. But wanted to let you guys know his views as we chase these deals.

    Beware of good deals on Vroom.com

    I am aware of at least one instance in which Tesla took in a trade with body work/paintwork and resold as CPO. So likely not a hard and fast rule.

    Lease Transfer Process?

    Has anybody gone through the lease transfer process with Tesla Finance? How quick and smooth was the process? They say 3-4 weeks from submission to final - was that your experience? I've done swaps with BMW Finance and they were incredibly fast -- less than a week, despite also saying 3-4...

    Pix of 2015 Premium Interior Grey w/ CF?

    I'm trying to find good photos of a 2015 (90d it its relevant) with premium interior, grey next gen seats, carbon fiber decor and black alacantra headliner. Unable to find them by searching so I'd appreciate if somebody could post them or point me to a link. Bonus points for midnight silver...

    2016 60D with Autopilot for sale 12,500 miles

    Can this 60d be converted to a 75d and then "uncorked" to achieve the 4.2 0-60 of current 75d - and, if so, what is the total cost to do both steps - convert and uncork?

    2015 Model S 85D - 34k miles - Good deal?

    Depending on the severity of the scratches/dings and depending on how much warranty time is left, only a bit high. I've seen mid-2015 85d with ultrahifi and subzero for go for 63-64 so about 40% depreciation from msrp. One thing to watch for is to ensure that the ownership chain includes NO...

    2016 90d vs 2017 75d/100d

    msvoyager -- your analysis is absolutely correct if one doesn't value the options. But I won't drive a stripper -- I think the Ultra HiFi is an absolute must - its not great but the base stereo is truly bad. I also have to have a sunroof. And, I wouldn't pay $90K for the 90d I described. I...

    FYI - 2015 70D, low miles (not mine)

    And not to keep peppering the thread - but I think mid-50s is a realistic price for this car. As I've noted before the used Tesla market is kind of screwy compared to any other make. Never have I seen such a spread between trade-in numbers ( from Tesla) and/or CarMax offers on the one hand...

    FYI - 2015 70D, low miles (not mine)

    Sure it might be a flood car - do your diligence. Or it may just be an uninformed guy who is responding to market info - he asked me for pricing input AFTER I said it was a non-starter due to stereo.
  23. D

    FYI - 2015 70D, low miles (not mine)

    Like I said, I don't vouch for the guy. But he seemed okay and pretty responsive - albeit not very knowledgeable about his own car. Given some of the crazy-high ask prices I've seen, its worth checking out if it meets your specs.

    2016 90d vs 2017 75d/100d

    I wouldn't pay $90 for that car. I think it goes for $70, at best. And it wasn't me that said he had ordered a 75S. We did chat about your car but I wanted subzero. So, I'm still in the hunt.
  25. D

    2016 90d vs 2017 75d/100d

    Yes, those are the specs from a 90D ordered in April 2016 and delivered in June 2016. Refreshed front end.

    2016 90d vs 2017 75d/100d

    Thanks Mike - but totally my bad for not specifying - and for some reason I can't edit original post to clarify. In any event, I have a build sheet that looks like it has "everything" except air suspension, 21" wheel, third seats, and carbon spoiler. Description Total in USD Model S 90D...

    2016 90d vs 2017 75d/100d

    Thanks Mikevbf -- but I wasn't clear - this is about a Model S, not a Model X - totally my mistake. Do any of your comments apply to the MS (if you know)?

    FYI - 2015 70D, low miles (not mine)

    It’s not my car and I have no connection to seller. Posted only as a PSA. As I said, do your diligence — lots of scammers out there and I’ve talked to many of them. This guy raised no red flags (overseas, recently divorced, car boxed for shipping, Nigerian Prince, etc.). But be sure to ask...

    FYI - 2015 70D, low miles (not mine)

    I chatted this guy up when he was asking mid-$70s. Car seemed in good shape but didn't have Ultra Hi Fi, which is a must for me. He has it listed as a 70 but it appears to be a 70D. He asked me what I thought was a fair price and I told him to go to carmax and then add 5-10% and it would put...

    2016 90d vs 2017 75d/100d

    Thanks. That is an obvious one that I missed. Other than the actual AP stuff (cruise, lane change) do you lose anything else with only AP1 sensors. For example, are the parking sensors the same - do they tell you how many inches to impact? Is there any form of blind spot monitoring?

    2016 90d vs 2017 75d/100d

    Aside from range/acceleration/battery pack issues - and leather vs synthetic seats -- what will be the differences between a loaded 2016 90 (build between april and June) and a new 100d/75d. I'm really looking for input on the little things that aren't readily apparent from looking at the spec...

    Rare Tesla ESA Opportunity

    To be clear, this isn't legal advice and so you should give it no value greater than anything else you see on the internet: You now say: "Although the title that's currently in my hands states the dealers name as the "Registered Owner"..." If you mean by this that the title has the business...

    Rare Tesla ESA Opportunity

    I believe that this is the correct answer based on Tesla's published FAQ, assuming "Owners" include non-original owners - although I can't find anything addressing the definition of "Owners," the context implies strongly that it includes original and non-original owners: Can anyone purchase...

    Would you price adjust for paintwork....

    Speaking from lots of non-Tesla experience, I can almost guarantee that paintwork will hurt you on resale, no matter how well it is done. If discovered (and all dealers can easily discover) it likely will have the same impact as an "accident" on CarFax. Obviously, this won't apply if not...

    Would you price adjust for paintwork....

    Thanks -- I agree with you with respect to rock chips and normal road wear on a couple year old car - not looking for perfect. I'm talking about dents that require bodyshop work, including paint.

    Would you price adjust for paintwork....

    I'm in the hunt and looking at many different cars. Putting aside the fact that the Tesla market is much different from any other car market (and I've purchased close to 40 cars in my life -- I like cars!), I have a specific question. In my experience, having any repair - however minor - that...

    75D - Deciphering window sticker options

    Thanks for all replies. I'm just coming off a 2 day test drive and will post my observations. Appreciate all the offers w/r/t referral codes - but I'm not quite ready to pull the trigger yet. Soon, I hope.

    75D - Deciphering window sticker options

    Thanks very much. Do you think that it has the power liftgate/hatch? And is "glass roof" the fixed glass roof - meaning no sunroof? I'll go research the lighting issues and see if I care :)

    75D - Deciphering window sticker options

    Not sure if this is the correct sub-forum, but I am trying to decipher the options on this 5/17 75D build. It doesn't list PUP but, as you'll see, is has a "black interior" option for $3300 and also has upgraded stereo and subzero but its price is only 82K, not 87K. So, the question is what...

    Wiki Model S options by year - a running history

    Is there any way to correlate VIN# to the changes listed in the wiki? I'm shopping used/lease transfers and it would be very useful to determine whether a given 2016 MS (or 2015) includes a given change listed in the Wiki.
