    DIY Tire Rotation

    After checking with the service center I learned that the correct rotation of tires is as above if you have the same front and back tire width. Cross the fronts to the rears. Rears to same side on front. I have a P85 (not a plus) and have done rotations every 3000 miles with even wear...

    If you do not mind, Please post your trade in offer from Tesla so we can compare note

    Well said Madartist. For me walking on a new car deal was simple. TMC's trade offer on my car was 6k less than wholesale offers I got independently. I've personally convinced 5 folks to buy Tesla's. Ordered my car essentially after a 3 min test drive in August 2012. With me, they lost a Q4...

    If you do not mind, Please post your trade in offer from Tesla so we can compare note

    Exactly. The order and purchase process was pretty straightforward when I ordered my P85 in late 2012. Lots of features were included in the packages (carbon spoiler, air ride, turbine wheels). Pano was $1500. Now these items are split out at extra cost. The pano is now $2500. The whole...

    If you do not mind, Please post your trade in offer from Tesla so we can compare note

    I'm still in aggravated and/or indignant mode. I thought about trading my loaded (except back seats and dual charger) P85 for a D. Got a lowball offer from TMC that is well below wholesale. Thought about selling it to Earth Motors but their offer was only slightly better and TMC told them to...

    Evolution of the Tesla Trade In (or Sanity Check Please)

    I called Tesla to get a trade quote on my 2013 P85. Got what I thought was a lowball offer. Looked at the Earth Motorcars website where they have 11 Teslas for sale in DFW. Amazed what they were asking. I understand that a retailer needs some "meat on the bone" when he buys a car, but the...

    How about a moderated "accidents" thread?

    Based on my experience, most accident threads (for example on FerrariChat, or the Viper or Corvette forums) devolve into a lot of conjecture about what may or may not have happened. Lots of negative comments about the involved parties especially if speed involved, even when a fatality occurred...

    Porsche 911 owner -- drove P85+ yesterday -- deposit placed -- MANY QUESTIONS :-)

    I got my P85 8 months ago. Like most of you guys, I have lots of seat time in exotics. I had a 360 CS previously and currently own a Ford GT and a Carrera GT. The Tesla has the mind numbing acceleration of a supercar with the comfort of a luxury sedan. Car is a wonderful daily driver. I...

    Resale?

    My exact sentiments. The Tesla P85 fits the bill for me. I see myself as a long term owner. My first luxury sedan (I'm over 50 now). Super acceleration and handling, comfort, quietness, great sound system. This comes from a guy who has had some loud sportscars....2 Ford GT's (over 40k miles...

    Anyone get an alignment?

    My spec Miata racecar has 2.5 degrees of camber all around, but it's set up to turn and grip. Certainly not a highway straight line setup. I tried an aggressive setup on my GT and corded the fronts on the insides. Car turned in great on track with a little toe out, but ate tires on the...

    Anyone get an alignment?

    I've had my Perf S 3 weeks and have put 800 miles on it. Car is a joy to drive (this comes from a guy who owns a Ford GT and a Carrera GT, and had a Challenge Stradale). I called the service manager in Dallas about the rear camber on the S. He said the car is set up like MB's and BMW's. He...

    OWNERS! - do you get awkward questions about price tag?

    My standard answer is "14 years of schooling after high school...that's what it cost". That's college, med school, residency, and fellowship. I get this line of questioning all the time at gas stations with my Ford GT. Usually it's kids.

    Someone at Tesla Decided to Put Michelin Pilots on My New Model S P85 and.....

    I got my car Monday (P85, pearl white, grey 21's, loaded options). It came with Pilots and the ride is very supple considering some crappy streets we have here in Fort Worth. Having said that, I may change to something less expensive at the first tire change. The way I drive that is going to...

    The Tesla Time Question

    I have been putting up with people asking questions about my Ford GT for the last 7 years. Used to it and actually enjoy the banter. Look forward to getting my Perf S in Feb/March. Ready to spread the word on EV's.
