Reservation Cancellation Hi Knight Rider, I was wondering what the email address you sent the request email to was? I have sent 3 emails over this past month to 3 different addresses (1 to the configuration specialist, 1 to NA sales, 1 to Ownership) requesting the reservation be...

I still haven't finalized my order yet. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in trading their 19" wheels for the 21" (plus some $)? If someone can take advantage of that, I'd rather do that than donate the extra money to Tesla. I am located in the Vancouver (BC) and willing to go as...

Thanks, Bonnie. There hasn't been very much movement in that thread, but I see that there are new posts today :)

Not sure if you have finished negotiating the details? Would you be willing to disclose the relevant leasing information (terms, interest rate, down payment, and residual value)? If not, could you perhaps weigh in on how the rates compare with those when leasing an ICE vehicle? Did the...

I still haven't finalized my order yet. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in trading their 19" wheels for the 21" (plus some $)? If someone can take advantage of that, I'd rather do that than donate more money to Tesla :) I am located in the Vancouver area, but if shipping cost...

I was wondering if anyone has pictures that they could share, showing white leather with carbon fiber vs with piano black. IIRC, the white is really more of a beige than snow white, correct? Piano black looks really smooth and shiny (could reflect sun light into the eyes at the most...

Not sure if this has been discussed in the forum, I was thinking of going with the CF trim, but am now having second thoughts after reading about carbon fiber in several articles pointing to the fact that when carbon fiber breaks, it creates very sharp splinters. In a crash, couldn't the CF...

Hi, After checking out the article here <American wire gauge>, it appears that AWG #6 is sufficient for a 50-amp setup (for NEMA 14-50). However, I recall reading some posts here on TMC saying that it would be better to go bigger (#4, not sure if #5 is common). To my mind, a thicker wire...

Thank you for the detailed explanation that's clear to someone who is not an electrical engineer. It sounds like it's way easier to just rewire with a thicker wire to double the current draw :) What do you mean when you said it's something entirely different when people combine two NEMA 14-50...

Hi Jgdixon, just wondering if you had heard more information regarding the possibility of leasing a Model S? Are there companies that buy the cars you want to lease? Do you know what these types of companies are called? (so I could do a search on the Internet. lol)

Combining Two Lines to Double the Amperaage From reading the forum it appears combining two 120V into a 240V requires finding two outlets that are out of phase. How about doubling the amperage instead of voltage? Is it possible to combine two 120V @ 12A to provide 120V @ 24A of charging, or...

Perhaps ask for a satellite phone from your boss? :) I also only have an emergency mobile phone used mainly to make outgoing calls when needed, so it stays off 99.9% of the time. I don't have Wi-Fi at home, either, so I plan to tell the delivery specialist that I can simply drive to Starbucks...

What do 1PT21GW, 121GIGW, and BK NTIM stand for? I can't really decipher these...

I did a quick a search, and I quote the company (12-Point SignWorks - Franklin, TN | Lobby Signs, Vehicle Wraps, Custom Business Signs ) and their price list from the first search result: -------------- "However, this isn't always the case for solid color wraps, where the vehicle's original...

What do TMC members think of the following combination: Sig Red paint, White leather, Carbon Fiber trim? I haven't found any photos showcasing this particular setup. Also, would the dark gray wheels match Sig Red paint? In fact, are there any colors that don't look good together with the...

Strange... I thought the purpose of a spoiler was to either reduce drag or create downward force (maybe both), but Model S is not designed to travel at speeds where lift is usually a concern. Even though the impact is small, what is the point of having it on Model S?

I like the Sig Red color, but I am considering switching from Sig to GP because it appears, based on the information thus far (i.e., not very much), Sig probably won't be delivered much ahead of GP in Canada. Say if I decide to go for a GP (not available in Sig Red), how much would it cost...

Hi Orthonos, what was your Sig# before you switched? I had general production #338 when I first reserved in mid June, but I upgraded to Sig immediately afterwards (Sig #136). One of the major factors in getting a Sig for me was the reps said at the time that it was pretty much the only way...

Thank you. Leasing does appear to offer better cash flow (at least for me :)) and offers the lessee the flexibility to purchase the car at the end of the lease. Please let me know if your lease company would be willing to lease a Model S to a BC driver, or perhaps your lease manager could...

I have never leased a car before. Based on your experience, what are the advantages / disadvantages of leasing in general? How about in the case of Model S? I would be interested in information regarding leasing as well, if you wouldn't mind sharing. I am in BC, so I don't know if that...

I am interested in trading the gray 21" set standard on Performance for the all-season 19". Where are you located? My Tesla will be in BC, Canada.

Hi all, I have received the It's Time to Build email yesterday, but still haven't made up my mind. I was wondering if other TMC members wouldn't mind shed some light on my questions below. Spoiler: These came up while reading on ecomodding.com. I did a quick search but wasn't able to...

I spoke with Hans when Tesla had a three-day event in Vancouver in June. When I asked him whether Tesla plans to open a service centre on the west coast, he said there would be one on Robson St sometime in the fall (I think he said "go big or go home" lol). Real estate prices / rents are crazy...

Now that the email has arrived, I can't make up my mind regarding the options! I'm so nervous... lol I am thinking Sig Perf, but doing hand-wringing because of the wheels... Could anyone please advise whether I should get the 21" set and sell them later (are there actually people buying 21"...

Interesting fact. Thanks. It is true radiation exposure level is greater at higher altitudes, but the amount of time spent inside a car is probably close to two orders of magnitude greater. But I think the motor is located outside the cabin, no? Also, the frequency of the PWM is probably in...

Hi all, I've searched the forum but was not able to find related info. I was wondering if it is possible to switch off the 3G / Wi-Fi / Bluetooth connections (perhaps the keyless entry component as well) either through the touchscreen or a hardware jumper/switch (like the "airplane mode" on...
