Hi to all the TN folk. I moved to Nashville a year ago from STL. Was part of MeetUp group in STL that was well organized and gave those of us with some of the early deliveries (mine is a P85 delivered Feb 2013, #5191) some comeraderie around this unique vehicle. Would be happy to be part of a...

Wow. Apparently that finger crossing thing works pretty well! :rolleyes:

Got my fingers crossed too! I think there are a bunch of folks that would find SCs in those locations and Paduch helpful to allow more direct connections via Nashville.

Sweet. 85 or 90? Any passengers, or solo? How much did you have left on arrival to B-Wood?

I have to believe that with a reasonably light touch on the accelerator pedal, you could easily make it to the Lex SC with a 90. I have made the trip this summer in the other direction with an "old" Feb 2013 P85 (2 passangers and about 150 lbs luggage) and stopped 2 hrs in E-town, but the...

Recent Experience Lex to Nash Agree that driving through Knoxville to get to Lexington seems unreasonable, although it is possible. Can note that we recently drove from Lexington to Nashville over the Father's Day weekend with only a 2 hour stop at the E-town campgrounds. (Wife and one kid...

Good ol' Leo.

Is this still the original UMC with your sig, or is this a replacement?

Hmm, interesting finding FlasherZ. As you probably know, I spoke with our local service manager because I had the same exact issue and he had no clear idea of what happened. Usually I can identify the "change" that was temporally associated with a malfunction like this, but I was not able to...

Wow. I am amazed at the different experiences that everyone is reporting. Here is my experience, FWIW. Background: Had my MS for 4 weeks now (still on ver 4.2). I have had a Volt for about a year. I am using the UPMC on the 50 amp circuit. I have one charger in the MS. I have a TED home...

According to what I have read, the batteries charge more slowly near the top. As a practical matter, I have seen this reflected in the mi/hr charging information on the car. However, I have a TED system, and the car continues to draw roughly the full 10kW (40A at 240V) even when "topping off."...

Just received my car a a couple weeks ago, and wondered how it would work on hills, as the exit ramp to my office building has a very steep climb. My experience in this car has been that the lightest pressure on the go pedal prevents the car from rolling back when in Drive. I feel very much in...

Took delivery of mine yesterday from a truck out of Chicago, and also have no badge. Must have been one of the last performance machines not to get the badging. VIN 5191. Not certain whether I want it or not. Already getting frustrated with the "how much did you pay for that thing?"...

Hate to return this thread to its origins. . . However, I took delivery yesterday, and my B-Pillar was identical to pguerra's beautiful black smudge. My DS, of course, has been great about being willing to make sure that it is taken care of. Has everyone found that this is a "cleanable"...

Another Performance 85 got VIN by app today: 5191. Also with the 2/5 to 2/19 delivery window.

Anectodal experience with the 3M product has been very good for me as well.

Holy crud, carrerascott, well done garage, but do you have enough light bulbs in there? If you turn on all of the light bulbs in your garage AND charge your MS, the utility is going to have to throw another generator on-line!:smile:

Another potential addition to the list: tool balancer. I think I am going to follow the lead of a few folks that have purchased a tool balancer, e.g...

Great post, particularly well balanced between the basic transformative nature of the car and driving experience, and some of the execution oddities. What I was drawn to was your comments about the seats. Imperfect seats. . . Why do they exist in *any* car? I can almost forgive Tesla for the...

My Pre-MVPA has a a tax amount consistent with a Missouri tax rate. Did efusco ever get his tags?

If I might, I would like to add a small point to this interesting discussion. Some of the more savvy electronics experts can also address this if they think it is worthwhile: Much of this thread speaks as if the battery in the MS is a single entity, however, we all know that it is constituted...

Thanks to all for posting these. Very helpful for those of us who have to make a decision now. Indeed, the Green is very nice. Based on what you all are saying, it appears that in most light it isn't quite the British Racing (Jaguar) green which would also look fantastic on this car.

To the Model S-TL group. Received my invitation to config today. I was surprised to receive it so soon with a P>10k. Time to make the decision on the color. . .

We have a 10 kW system installed this spring by Certified Solar. We have been very pleased with the function of the system. Installation had a few minor snags (mostly related to the electrician subcontractor and the city inspector not being familiar with solar installations), but they were...

Right, Frontenac Racquet Club is off of Lindburgh by Grassi's. I play there regularly, and saw the silver MS parked there once, but when I asked around the club, the car owner either didn't want to acknowledge or was playing on the courts at the time. Hope I catch him/her there again. The...

I will add myself to the apparently growing list of "Model S-TL" enthusiast folks here. Also live in the West Co area (Frontenac/DesPeres). I am most envious of the two cars I have already seen rolling through the area -- one silver and one Sig Red (FlasherZ?). bluefuego, I have a nearly 9...
