    texting

    I have the exact same problem. I was hoping they would do a quick update to fix it but no luck so far. I am using an i Phone is that makes any difference

    Question about the $7500 tax credit...

    Line 17 in section III of the personal section lists the $2500 max. Line 18 mentions 2 wheels

    7500 Tax Credit Form

    The Federal tax credit forms seems to be pre printed with a $2500 credit. Everyone including Tesla mentions $7500. What am I reading wrong?

    Question about the $7500 tax credit...

    Everything I have heard lists the $7500 number but form 8936 for 2013 lists $2500 as the max. Am I looking at something wrong?

    Louisiana

    The amount of the LA tax credit is being bounced between different state offices right now. It could be pretty significant. Larger than the fed credit. If you are in LA we could probably use some more pressure/e-mails. Especially if you know anyone working for the LA state government. Send...

    Louisiana

    I saw a black Mod S in front of Salu on Magazine street last week but it was just pulling out of the parking spot. That makes 4 sightings for me.

    Louisiana

    I'm in NOLA and just saw another Blue one(similar to mine) tonight on Magazine St. Good to see they are starting to add up. Maybe we will get the service center sooner.

    Elon Musk: "Just as my money was the first in, it will be the last out."

    Em owns a significant amount of Tesla Motors stock. There was always the fear he might sell a significant amount to fund other ventures. Space X for instance. Hopefully this takes that fear (and overhang) off the stock. More institutions might be interested in buying in without this fear of...

    Louisiana

    I'm still in NOLA. I've heard (friend of friend thing) that there is at least one, probably 2 others in town. Hard to get a good count. Map shows one in Gonzales but I have not seen him check in since the map posting. When I met the Tesla rep in Dallas they thought there would be a service...

    why don't we just use the 7.5kWh directly in an EV?

    You are comparing apples to oranges. Gasoline is a concentrated PORTABLE energy source. Electricity not so much. As stated above a lot of refineries use their own produced energy. Of the ones I have worked in most do not consider electricity a significant cost. Some do not even track...

    Determining whether you are backing up straight

    If you move the rear view mirrors while you are in reverse and then save, they will move there each time you go into reverse. You have to be in reverse when you make the change for it to stick. In reverse I have the mirrors tilted down so I can see the curb. With the help of the camera I can...

    Texas Supercharger Locations (location speculation, discussion)

    I believe there is a charger in the Galleria parking lot in Houston. Not much use for travelers but helpful all the same. They told me when I visited the store though I did not see it myself. D

    Real MPH charging experiences

    I get 27-28 on my 14-50 but I am down south and it is relatively warm. 50-60 degrees ambient. Since the charging is basically a chemical reaction I would expect it to be affected by ambient temp.

    Best way to convince a hotel to add chargers?

    On another thread that I have lost there was a link to the tax form. There is apparently a $30K tax credit for installing a industrial level charging station. Many locations could get this done for $10K. A $20 profit would be a concrete selling point even better than "you might get more...

    How often does Tesla miss their delivery window ?

    They delivered two days BEFORE my delivery window even started for me. Keep calling. Every time I called things seemed to speed up. Don't bother leaving messages. Just call again in a few minutes. Seemed to work for me. Good Luck The car is worth the wait.

    Louisiana

    My 60KW was delivered Saturday (feb 16th) to NOLA. I actually saw a brown one driving by as they were offloading. I thought I was the first in New Orleans but maybe not. Tesla guy in GA said there was another coming next week to NOLA. Apparently a lot of the LA cars are going through GA...

    Model S Delivery Dates and Sequencing

    Just keep calling to get updates. My delivery window was Feb 19 to March 5. I called and got Vin about three weeks before delivery window when I saw they were getting close to my res number (10542). I got the "in line for manufacturing" line. Two days later called about some paperwork and...

    Tesla Supercharger network

    Don't forget that there is a $30K tax credit for installing chargers. That goes a long way towards paying for a site. NOT ALL the way, but a nice offset. Tell landlords at your work and they might bite. A charger (not super charger) might be done for $10K in some places. Nice incentive for...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Mine is finally on the way! I can't believe it. Coming to New Orleans via Georgia? A bit of a detour but TX is too busy apparently. Driver called and said he should be here around Lunch. R10542 vin 4957 Calling to check seems to help BTW. My delivery window did not START till Feb 19th so...

    Model S Delivery Dates and Sequencing

    I'm reservation # 10542. By the time I got my Vin 4957 they had already built the car. By the time I got my paperwork it was already being shipped. Still waiting on a delivery date, but I had to rush the financing since I got so little warning. Remember to keep calling if you are close or...

    NEMA 14-50 Plug Orientation

    This is very helpful. I have mine installed but left the mounting plate loose until the care arrived because I was not sure of the correct orientation. Thanks for the input.

    Louisiana

    Thanks Arthur That may be it. All of my comments about LA are just based on random conversations with Tesla people who are just throwing things out. Every time I mention that I have not seen much here on LA deliveries they tell me there have been a few. Maybe that is just a pat answer. Maybe...

    Louisiana

    Anybody in Louisiana get delivery yet? Anxiously waiting for mine. Curious if our state causes any problems. AND where the cars are coming out of? Houston?

    Louisiana

    I finally got impatient and called. They gave me a delivery window of Feb 19th to March 5th. A couple of weeks after you. The world map shows one in Gonzales just before my reservation. Somewhere in the 9000's so he should be right after you but before me if he filled out his paperwork right...

    Louisiana

    So Louisiana delivery Have you received yours yet? When I was in Houston on Jan 8th I visited the Houston showroom and they told me they thought there has already been a delivery in Lafayette. Out of range for both of us but in LA all the same. I'm still waiting on my final e-mail but some...

    First 60kWH delivery notice or email - who will it be?

    I test drove in Dallas also. I waited to make the deposit till they announced the TX test drive however so I am #10542. Still waiting on my delivery e-mail which I am optimistically hoping for next week. Probably too optimistic. Did they tell you where you would be delivered out of...

    First 60kWH delivery notice or email - who will it be?
