I'm thinking it's time to sell my 2013 60. Value isn't going up and I really want Auto pilot. I'm thinking of waiting for version 4 to come out and just get rid of it while the value is still somewhat high. anyone else going through this?

This is a GREAT GREAT GREAT idea and a possible business venture for someone. All EV cars should have this built into it.

I have 19" with 4500 miles on them that I'd be interested in swapping if the price was right. I'm also in LA so we can easily arrange this. Let me know what you want for them.

I was considering doing this for SCE as well, but I looked and saw that while the scheduled rates during that time go down, the normal useage rates increase significantly during the summer and not as much during the winter.

FlasherZ - thank you for the really in-depth reply and great write-up. I really appreciate it. I talked to the electrical company and thy suggested 3/4" conduit. The ground should be #10 and main should be THHN-6 50 Amps. This is what the Tesla installer suggested; however, they don't know...

Will probably go with the 100 amp / 3 gauge wire like Cosmacelf suggested. That way, I can add some other things to the panel like washer/dryer and maybe an A/C unit that runs at night. Good call

I'll have to read through it, but I definitely want to get a second meter installed. I need to get a new panel and run the 220 line to the street, but just not sure of the gauge wire and my electrician is also a little unsure as there are a ton of options. Figured I'd ask here first, but...

I just got my Tesla and I was talking to SCE (So Cal Edison) about the potential programs they offer to residents. Their EV charging rate is $.11/kwh but I would need to run a new 220V line to the meter and they'll put a new meter on for free. My question is - what gauge wire should I use to...

Wow.. Not sure how you figure that as true. This is pretty ruthless of them. THey don't release lease info, but basically you MUST configure your car before the price increases. If they don't have lease info, you're going to take a risk on whether or not the lease will be available upon...

Is that really what that was leasing for? Isn't the MSRP like twice that of the Model S though? Anyone have an update?

Yeah - I am going to defer for another few months until lease details are released. Don't want to purchase this car b/c I'm not sure how technology will progress in the future.

I assume nothing new has come out with this, right? Still on the fence and I have to figure out whehter or not I want to configure mine or just wait until I know the lease is coming up. They said that if I defer and then order later, it would be about 60-90 days until that orders get finalized...

In somewhat of the same situation as you.. I'm 25 years old but am in a better financial situation. I want to actually lease it but am unsure if it will be around by the time I get it in February / March. How come you don't want to buy a house though? Rates are INCREDIBLY low and its surely a...

Anyone have an update on this? I'm sitting on my confirmation to finalize my tesla b/c I really want to lease it. I can finalize it, but if there are no options to lease the car by the time they deliver (feb/march), then I'm stuck purchasing the car which I don't want to do. Anyone have any...

Whats the status of a lease option for the car?? Anyone know? I'd feel MUCH better if I was able to lease first

The reason I'd want a PHEV over an EV is just to have the safety of knowing that I will NEVER be stranded in ANY scenario. I love the handling of the tesla and i love everything about it, but having the anxiety of the battery may ruin it for me. When the 40 kw battery can only go 100 miles and...

Disagree. I think there are some better options. For example: WHy would you NOT want an electric car with a gas backup? THis way, you can go as far as you want and not have to worry.

shokunin: thanks for the info -noticed you're only 10 mins away from me :-) Ouch, this REALLY hurts. Is there any way to just pay each time you use the supercharger network? I can't see myself using it that much. Are there any REAL alternatives coming out in the near future? I often...

I'm a little confused now and am questioning my ability to purchase a S40! I was planning on getting the S40 with tech and pano roof, but now I'm just hearing about all of these expenses and its starting to worry me. I didn't know about this "maintenance expense". It's $600 extra per year...
