Tesla drivetrain, but since you're on TMC, you probably already knew that :) Original cloth & WeatherTech floor mats (incl. cargo area) We are the 2nd owner, purchased in Jan 2015 in SF Bay Area, currently in Albuquerque, NM Please DM me for more info.

There's a law prohibiting Tesla from opening a store or performing service in New Mexico, and therefore from opening a service center. Specifically, NM Stat. Ann. §57-16-5, paragraph V, prevents manufacturers, distributors or their representatives from becoming a dealer or performing service...

Yes, yes we will!

Welcome, Pixelsaurus! Those shares will help quite a bit to get your own. Come up with a savings plan, and stick to it. That'll help as well. - - - Updated - - - Thanks. A track day would be fun. And a get together at the base of the Tram would make for an excellent photo op.

I'm not sure about Roswell or Carlsbad, but you might contact the New Mexico Tech Auto Racing Club ([email protected]) or Mechanical Engineering Department for ideas (but probably not the Petroleum & Chemical Engineering Dept. :wink:).

Thanks for the note on my avatar. It took a few iterations to get the relative sizes just right. I get mad every time I see the sun go behind a cloud here. :wink:

Wow. That's some off-grid awesomeness! And great names for your greeters!

Yesterday around 2:15pm I briefly saw a black S here in ABQ headed west on Alameda approaching Coors, as I was traveling east in my silver P85. I tried to wave/point with two fingers (peace-ish sign), not sure if the other driver saw me in traffic. My first sighting while driving mine!

I mailed in the form today with the following three choices: HELIOS the Greek sun god - see my posts in Alternative Energy Powered +-+-+-+ 85 encoded in binary, where + is the Zia Sun Symbol SLR+PWR see above Too bad you have to mail in the form & wait 8-10 weeks here in the Land of...

:wink: Thanks. That's one of the reasons it's nice to have a fence around the entire property, with a gate. It won't keep the serious thieves out, but hopefully the small timers will move on to the next place. The three large dog theft deterrent system also works well. :scared: And I'll...

Wow, 25! I'm surprised to not see more. I wonder how many we need for our own service center... :wink:

Nice. I wonder who will be the first to unlock the bonus levels post-production.

Ha! Yep, I-25. Great find. La Bajada has a good bit of history during Spanish Colonial times. Pave those hairpins and what fun they'd be!

I posted a decent pic here.

Like PB&J:

Yep. We visit friends & family in the The City Different periodically. La Bajada Hill is going to be fun: pass everyone else on the way up, regen on the way back down!

My P85 was delivered today. I've seen at least three different Model S around town (brown, blue & white), my wife has seen another silver, and my brother a silver (same one?) with tag TESLA1. Any of you members here? I've seen ExhilR8's track videos in another thread, but haven't seen any sig...

It's here, and beautiful. Arrived with 89 miles of range, but by the time my wife looked, it said 88. McFly, as in Marty. So before blasting around The Land of Enchantment, it's taking in 40A@240V, though with the clouds, it's from the grid, not the PV array right now. And of course, it's a...

Yeah, sounds familiar to me, too. I'm thinking someone that narrates shows on PBS, History Channel, Discovery Channel, etc.. Maybe Liev Schreiber?

Truck driver just called, said he would be here about 2:30PM. Woohoo! Pics to follow in the delivery experience thread.

Yeah, they need to update the "Options & Pricing" page to match the design studio. Many people may look there first.

How did you get a two-week delivery window without completing the (online) delivery questionnaire, which I thought was accessed via the delivery button?

Interesting. Here's a higher-resolution scan in PDF form I found on the Interwebs: http://www.rcc.us/Frua/1979_amectran_01.pdf And there's even more information on the Amectran website.

Make that three today. About 6:45P, saw a blue one headed south on Tramway. And the DS in Denver says mine will be on a truck this evening! Seriously, we need a service center here. :wink:

Two more sightings in Albuquerque today: This morning, my brother saw a silver S with tag TESLA1 at Highpoint Sports & Wellness. Then about 1pm, my wife & I saw a brown S with grey 21" wheels parked at Scarpa's on Montgomery & Eubank. Hopefully they'll become more and more prevalent here, so we...

To me, "accents" doesn't necessarily include headliner. Is there anywhere on their website that explicitly states that the Alcantara headliner is included for non-sig P85s? Don't get me wrong. I am irked by this change, as my P85 will very likely be affected (but I won't know for sure until it...

I use emacs Lisp for quick math & the like all the time. Lambda calculus is how the universe was built! Full circle indeed! I just ssh'd from my iPad mini to one of my Macs, and got this: $ emacs -batch -l dunnet Dead end You are at a dead end of a dirt road. The road goes to the east...

First drive will depend on when it gets here. Perhaps I'll go to lunch at Tomasita's in Santa Fe, about 120 miles round-trip. First tunes: tough call. Steppenwolf's Magic Carpet Ride or Led Zeppelin's Kashmir or Over the Hills & Far Away. I haven't pumped gas since I sold my 335i coupe back to...

My understanding is that in order to get out of CA tax, an automobile must be delivered outside of California, and the purchaser must abide by rules regarding the reasons and durations that automobile can be brought into California (depending on the purchaser's residency). See...

printf("%u", tomato); (cons i tomato) Let's call the whole thing off. :wink:

Indeed. My other car is a cdr.

+1 I expect a few things on my due bill at direct delivery next week. Anything else I notice I'll tell ownership about. So far, they've been very responsive and willing to address my issues. I don't expect post-delivery to be any different.

Elon's "put my money where my mouth is" announcement will be that he personally purchased a bunch more robots to increase output to work through the backlog of reservations getting all pending deliveries done by July, including European orders? And once the backlog is empty, they'll start...

Albeit a bit of a bummer that the factory won't be completely abuzz, think of it this way: many Model S owners will never get to tour the factory. But being the last day of the quarter, surely they will be scrambling to get cars onto direct-delivery trucks to book sales in Q1. So there may be...

Mine showed up in the app today, around 7pm PDT. Earlier today, the DS in Denver said it'll be on a truck by Sunday, and to expect direct delivery next week. Excitement abounds! Depending on whether they've already done the burn-in, applied the paint armor, etc., maybe it'll even be on a...

Mmmmm, ohm slaw. Goes great with beer-battered fish & chips!

According to this post, VIN P08900 is coming up soon. Not sure how close to sequentially VINs come off the line, but I'd bet VIN P09000 will be produced by end of quarter. Whether they'll be delivered (or direct-shipped on trucks) by Easter Sunday is another good question. I'd easily take the...

42 days reservation to end of delivery window must be some kind of record. And you might even get it before then! Red/60kWh/40kWh/springs/outside-North-America customers, please look away!

It appears to be back up now.

Is the app down for anyone else? TCP & TLS handshake complete, but no response to HTTP GET requests. So it looks like the load balancer is up, but not the back end.

From bottom right corner of the specs page:

I think this is as easy as charging to standard overnight, then 30-45 minutes before you plan to leave, turn on range charge & climate control from the app. As long as you leave within a few minutes of getting all the way to full range charge, the effect on the battery should be minimal.

This is an interesting, aesthetically pleasing solution. Nice workmanship, too. Does the bollard lock to the receptacle in the ground? What prevents someone from pulling it out of the receptacle & taking off with it when it's not locked to your car? Or will you take it inside whenever not in use?

Sweet systems! Go giant fusion reactor in the sky! - - - Updated - - - We used CST (Consolidated Solar Technologies). I highly recommend them. They put in the large system over the parking lot at the VA hospital, and the immense 1MW, 5 acre array at Albuquerque Academy. We chose them...

That Traqmate data is nice. I wonder if the streaming API can be refreshed at 20Hz, then post-processed to get power output along with speed & location. A cohort with a laptop in the staging area could capture while you drive. Paging PureAmps, your assistance is needed!

Wow! And thanks for that post; most inspiring.

Thanks p-b. The "Delivery Dates & Sequencing" thread has posts stating 87xx will be picked up end of next week. So ~500/week sounds about right. And the factory may very well be working this weekend to get even more on direct-delivery trucks by 3/31.

Anyone seen any VINs in the factory this week?

Thanks, and indeed! While they were filling in the trenches & finishing up the installation (including a 14-50 in the garage for the you-know-what), they left the test meter connected & everything switched on. According to the inverters and that test meter, the array put out 29.5 kWh between...
