    Used Roadster buying experience

    My wife's first experience does not bode well, at least so far. We were slightly late going out for dinner Saturday night to meet some friends and she started fiddling with the vanity mirror to put on lipstick. You can probably guess what happened next. "I can't believe you paid $$$ for this car...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Picked up my P85 vin 4587 at the service center in Menlo Park today. They were very busy. I rode my bike from work and chucked it in the trunk to get home in time for dinner. This car rocks! Thank you Julia, Andrew and Stephanie. You guys were great!

    Used Roadster buying experience

    Thanks for all the suggestions. Well, I picked up the beast today and parked it next to the 3 in the garage. I'd say it is easily a foot longer. But that's probably the worst of it. When I drove it out of the dealership, it felt much tighter and refined than I remembered from the summer test...

    Used Roadster buying experience

    Thanks for the suggestions. I am a sports car guy so I really love the Roadster. The problem is that I have 3 kids and I actually don't drive it much on the weekends. I also started riding my bike to work. We have a van and my wife has the 3. So, ideally we get rid of the van but it's AWD and...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Just to add another data point, here are my dates: I got the finalize button 12/3 but waited a couple of weeks and finalized on 12/20. I signed my paperwork as soon as I received it and my pre MVPA was countersigned 12/28. You will get another MVPA to sign when the car is ready. My car is at...

    Used Roadster buying experience

    Thanks! After living with the Roadster for the past few months, I've come to really appreciate the advancement that Tesla brought to automobiles. They are the only company with enough courage to go pure electric. I can't drive ICE cars anymore without thinking how archaic they are. Shift?! The...

    Used Roadster buying experience

    This is a long overdue post about my experience of buying a used Roadster. It all began on a Saturday afternoon last July when I went into the Menlo Park Tesla dealer to see if my two younger kids will fit in the third row of the Model S. I had reserved earlier in the year and was preparing...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    My Product Specialist contacted me via email and introduced me to the delivery experience specialist last Friday morning. She said my car was ready and I could pick it up as soon as my DS contacts me to make arrangements. I replied with additional questions and my PS has been extremely...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Duckjybe, That's a brilliant idea. TMC should be so lucky to get all these great ideas for free. It's just one more way to show how they can offer a superior car and a unique automotive experience. I'm constantly reminded of the amazing group of people that are Tesla fans.

    Agree with MTGMAN. Do yourself/your boss a favor because you won't be able to get any work done if you don't. :wink:

    Model S Delivery Dates and Sequencing

    kendallpb, I'm right behind you. I got the final MVPA today, countersigned around 2pm PST, delivery on or around 2/9 but I'm in Menlo Park just across the bay from the factory. If the MVPA timing is any indication and based on your status, I might have the car a lot sooner. Maybe even this...
