Nonsense! ! ! ! You live only once! ! ! If I had your cash reserves, it'd buy the S! ! ! I'm jealous.....wish I had the money for the 40....but not until Gen III......

Time to move out of Cook County! ! ! A "use" tax?? ? ? We get taxed when buying it and then taxed when using it? Amazing..... Definitely gotta consider this....

Paying up front for the software is easily explained.....Tesla needs the money.....

This is absurd.....Tesla official has to post in a forum to calm the waters..... Forum....calm down! ! ! ! Tesla....communicate better! ! ! !

Battery.....not sure...... Screen.....this is probably a simple software or programming error......these things are typically easy to fix......

I've crunched the numbers...... Assuming I get no options.....which is tough for a techie.....the car comes close to $70000 before rebates and with taxes....this includes the service.... That's too expensive! ! ! For me at least...... Will probably look at the Volt or Prius..... Shame...

At least you got to put town a deposit and enjoy it for a while! ! ! ! ! Looks like I won't get to that point now because of the service pricing.......

How do you expect them to get away with this act? ! ? !

maybe they should install handles on the backs of the driver's seat and the front passenger seat!!!!! space aged!!!

Good for you!!!! I'd be really interested in seeing how your alpha design looks compared to soflauthor's design...... to answer your question....i think i'd be primarily looking for a cup holder or two that was more forward oriented, a hidden storage area for bits and bobs....and...

Nice! ! ! ! From Roadster owners....or those in the know, how much of this service could rangers do? ? ? ? I would think all of it just about, right? ? ? Otherwise, what to do about owners who live no where near a service center.....

What would happen if the city towed your vehicle for some reason in this manner? ? ? ? Owner at fault for any damages I suppose.......

Maybe I can afford the Tesla hidden in a rock.....! ! ! ! !

Who is saying it is a sham? ? ? ? Most people are upset with the pricing and requirement....or announcing it so late..... I'm sure it is great....should be included.....

this is just like getting my colonoscopy....i dread it for months....feel like i'm in a daze while it all happens...and afterwards, despite knowing I don't have cancer....just feel bloated and have the sharts for the rest of the day....

You don't know that and neither do the rest of us..... ...that's what Tesla says....but there's no evidence that this will hold true over the life of the car.....what happens if the inverter blows at year 5???? how much is that going to cost??? But so far, the maintenance *costs* for this...

I don't doubt you......service for 2300 Roadsters probably is world class...... How's service for 20000 Model S's and 2300 Roadsters??????

How much did the base model Roadster cost? $109,000 a few years ago????? ...different income/financial bracket.... With the model s advertised at $57,400 base....different income/financial bracket.... harder to absorb the impact of charge upon charge.... ....that and the fact that Tesla said...

There's gotta be some sort of legal avenue here....essentially making you pay Tesla directly or your warranty is void? ? ?

Yeah....but I drive about 1/3 the distance the average person does....it'll take me 3 years to accomplish what some do in 1 year....i just feel that i will be using the care relatively less....but seems like overpaying... ...i don't know...i'm getting all bent out of shape and i haven't even...

..."likely"???? i just assumed that dadaleus had the tech package....if this is so, there seems to be something awry there....

...this is what i was thinking....because the two juxtaposed offerings were seemingly incompatible.....

question....do people really like this creep function???? i kinda like the feel of the manual transmission cars with the quick jerk of the regen and the lack of creep....

This would really hurt me as well..... I drive about 4500 miles every year.....So....I would be paying almost $1800 for servicing next to nothing!!!!!

This may be a stupid question.....but if the Tesla service plan includes 24 hour roadside assistance....and a ranger visit costs $100 per visit.....how is that reconciled?????

What do you mean it lost connectivity???? meaning the GPS didn't work??? The maps didn't load???? Are the maps previously downloaded onto the car or are they always accessed via 3G???? If latter....sucks to be in the middle of nowhere...

I think it's reasonable to pay for software updates as well..... ....however, I don't think what's to come is truly an update.....the app, the door handle extension, the wifi....other tech package issues that haven't been integrated....whatever.... From a programming standpoint.....these...

I'm really disappointed in learning about this.... I have been on the fence about buying a Model S, and now I don't think it is going to be a possibility.... I was hoping that the fact that the EV nature of the vehicle would offset the maintenance costs.....but now it appears I will be...

Wait......the Model S doesn't have wifi?? ? ? I thought that was a selling point, ! ! ! !

I think it sounds great even if you live near a service center!!!!! You'd pay $600/y anyway..... Wouldn't it be great to be at home with a brew in your hands watching the game while Tesla's in your garage fixing your S?????

But why not go for the 4 year anywhere plan????? then tesla ranger service is included......still breaks down to $600/y

the wink didn't give it away I guess....

Great story!!!! I'm like you....not sure I can afford it, but if I walk in there, I'll probably throw down!!!!

Wait....!!! Those are slated for being crushed by Tesla!!!! Oh, EV-1, where are you now!!!!

Wow!!! Look at the gap between the hatch and the body!!! I hope they fix that in the production models!!!! :wink:

Nice! ! ! I have faith again! ! !

Thanks!!!!

Yes.....not sure why they are holding on to this dollar amount....especially given that we're into the 5000s now of people locking in their orders without knowing the full disclosure..... I know maintenance of luxury/premium sedans is expensive.....but in 6 years of owning my car....I...

What is the $125 "registration, transfer and tilting fees"?????

Confused a bit by this... .....we know it has leather seats based on who's car it was that they've tested.... ...been on all kinds of trips in my 40 years of driving with leather, pleather, vinyl, cloth seats....never had "pain"....so, I don't know how to interpret what they were...

Anyone know of any updates regarding the seats???? That twitter post is pretty vague..... Doesn't seem like a good thing for someone to be in pain after a 238 mile trip.....stiff....sure, pain....no....

It's interesting how that works out..... I talked to 4 electricians about what it would cost me to do the upgrades....three of them came to my house and all gave me quotes that were within $300 of the other.....the one contractor who didn't come to my house and asked me a series of questions...

Yeah, but then it would be called the "GRÖNKULLA" instead of the "Model S"!!!!!!!

There are no Model S's being delivered!!!! Only virtual consoles!!!! That's what's in the box..... http://images-en.busytrade.com/162624700/Sell-Car-Driving-Simulator-Qj-3b.jpg

George...... Thank you! ! ! ! ! I'll take one of each! ! ! That blue is amazing! !

How can this be good? ? ? ? What constitutes abuse? ? ? ? ? ? Sounds like what an individual might experience after many months of opening and closing? ! ? !

You mean this?????

According to Toyota, the Model S is a "wagon."

Are you a family of weight lifters or weight watchers??????
