    Subjective Question: Minimum Annual Salary to Buy Perf 85kWh w/options

    I realize I may be being overly conservative, but I'm still apprehensive about making the purchase. Yes, I love the car. And my current ride has ~90k miles on it, so I'm due for an upgrade in the next 1-3 years. I have a short commute and rarely go for long drives, the gas savings are modest, so...

    Latest "Finalize your order" date

    Time to build...#10,349. I assume they would like to finalize all of the reservation holders which held before the price increase announcement. Fortunately, I'm down to 4 choices; 85, 60, 40 or nothing. 40 is leading ($25k is a lot just to go long and the 60Kwh doesn't get me to our cabin...

    Random Model S sightings

    You mean like this one, Jason? I hope you had a nice flight (kinda creepy, eh?).

    Tesla Stores

    UTC Store mcornwell, you just made my day. I'm a reservation holder, but I haven't done a test drive yet. I've been wondering where I'll be able to do one. UTC is much better than Mission Valley. I hope they'll let me drop into La Jolla from the I-5 NB. I love that little stretch that loops...

    Hack-charging on a generator

    If my ICE runs out of gas, I can use a gas can to add emergency fuel. What happens if the public charger I'm counting on is out of service or I fail to notice my charge is low and I'm too far from anyone's exterior power outlet when I shut down? Can I hack-charge my Model S? Specifically, can I...

    Tesla in Brick. Not Bricked.

    I realize this adds nothing to this thread, but my wife's family is from Brick, NJ and we visit 1-2X/yr. I had to mention it b/c it's not exactly a bustling urban metropolis that gets mentioned often.

    What do you do for work? Just passing time waiting for updates from Tesla :)

    CEO of a public company. Just like Elon. Well, maybe with a few differences.

    Hello from San Diego

    A minor San Diego follow-up, I was driving along Manchester Rd. behind a blue BMW Z4 this morning with the license plate [heart]MYTSLA. Which one of you guys was that?

    Making it official - getting your # at the store

    I wear my $5,000 t-shirt fairly often. I also received a key chain (NY store). I wonder if those who didn't receive a trinket or two registered online versus in-person?

    Hello from San Diego

    vfx, can you share more? I'm unclear how you make that trip b/c SAN to LAX is 125 miles. According to these conditions: http://www.teslamotors.com/blog/roadster-efficiency-and-range, you might expect 175M from a new Roadster battery at 70mph (40 in LA, 110 around San Onofre!). Just to make sure...

    Hello from San Diego

    Hi to you, from #10,349 (or maybe 369? i can't remember). I'm also in (North) San Diego. No chargeless trips to LA for us, but still a great vehicle.
