The sales rep that I worked with explained this to me while I was checking out a Beta S. He mentioned that it wasn't explicitly stated on the website under Nappa Leather but that it will be updated soon.

The Nappa Leather package includes 3-driver memory for seat, steering wheel and mirrors.

From my talks with Tesla sales reps, and from what I have read online, Tesla does not use Panasonic cells exclusively.

When you drive a Roadster to "0-miles" shown in Range mode, there is actually about 5% to 8% state of charge remaining in the battery, in order to prevent the inevitable. That safety buffer has already been thought of and implemented in the vehicle since day 1.

The "TBD" listed on 60 kWh battery for Supercharging is related to the cost, not availability/compatibility.

Where is the Roadster you are looking at located? Is it listed for sale online somewhere?

All the roadster owners should do a YouTube community response to this BS. Show folks what it's really like to live with the car, and how easy it is to just plug it in (as if it were inconvenient to do so)!

that's only correct if the vehicle is not titled. If you title the vehicle, you will be able to claim the credit even after selling it.

The Performance variants add "Alcantara bolsters", and I assume you will still get the perforated Nappa leather in the center of the seat as I saw on the Beta models.

Actually, 3 of the 4 are perforated seats: Model S (Production): No (Optional w/ Nappa package) Model S (Perf): Yes (Nappa standard) Model S Sig: Yes (Nappa standard) Model S Sig (Perf): Yes (Nappa standard) cooled seats aren't an option...

Tesla does not charge the ranger fee for vehicles that need warranty work.

Just received an email stating that there are only three Roadsters remaining. It says they are all new vehicles; VIN 1429 Arctic White Sport VIN 1440 Very Orange Sport VIN 1463 Atomic Red Special Edition

TEG - that's a DBS!

There won't be a hump in the Model S!

They do have an indoor track Roger Frankila and Horatiu Dan work on Tesla - Media (5 of 13) Tesla Motors coming of age as an automaker

I bet they will have several Beta vehicles to "ride" in ensuring that everyone gets a chance to experience the car.

That could be an honest mistake... the Roadster page of the Tesla website shows the 3.7 0-60mph without any kind of disclaimer that it is for the "Sport" model. The Electric Tesla Roadster | Tesla Motors

Multi-speed transmission!!! epic

"The price of the US base Model S with a 160-mile battery is $49,900 after the $7,500 federal tax credit. The 230-mile range option is expected to price at about $10,000 more and the 300-mile option at about $20,000 more than the base." pulled from blog post by George Blankenship here A Quick...

I would guess that Tesla continues to produce "spec" cars, alongside the custom orders so that there is a car or two in showrooms across the country.

word is the last US vin = 1464. That means the last final 5 special edition Roadsters should end in 1460, 1461, 1462, 1463 & 1464.

Got an email this evening that there are no more custom orders available. Roughly 50 "spec" cars which include store demos. Seems that the Roadsters are selling well!

Don't be silly... Tesla pushed the final 5 cars back after the additional allocation was obtained. I asked my rep and he said that there will only be 5 special edition Roadsters and they will be the last ones produced.

I'm certain that the final edition cars would get pushed back in this case, and you would wait a bit longer for your car.

I enquired earlier today about what Roadsters are available. There are a "handful" of custom order slots left and one "Final Edition" Roadster still up for grabs. I was emailed the following pics and for $200,000 it includes the following: - Atomic Red or Ion Blue - Sport Package - Dark...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned voice commands to control audio, hvac & Nav functions while driving. I have this on my current car and it makes even more sense for a large touch screen with no tactile buttons.

no... more like an EV with "training wheels" :-)~

What most people don't know is that if you run out of gas, you may need to replace fuel injectors & the fuel pump! Imagine that... run a Ferrari F430 Scuderia dry and get hit with a $10,000 repair bill :) Running On Empty, Running Dumb | The Truth About Cars

Clarkson on the EVO X review @ 7:58: "Instead of a fuel tank, they've fitted a pipette. I've actually worked this out, that if you drive flat out, you'll empty the tank in 48 miles."

just fyi, you can tap the alert and it will "go away", but remain in the background.

to each their own. I kept visiting this jewelry store at my local mall to look at a Bell & Ross watch that I always wanted. One day, I finally bought it. The same will happen with a Roadster or two. Can't imagine what it will be like with Model S... they will be selling several per day!

the modular design makes it possible... swap in, update and play!
