I'm interested as well, let me know if you don't end up selling to anyone before me. Thanks.

Are these staggered or square? Is the tpms new or old?

Will the tpms work on the newer models?

are you selling these or merely stating that you have seen them for sale?

This is literally why I love this forum! Seeing people help out like this makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside :)

My dialogues on this topic usually go something like this: A random on the street - "Dude, how much is that car?" Me - "I'm sorry man, it's not for sale..." Usually this does the trick and they don't try to clarify themselves. Although the really confused ones just stand there for a while...

I'll post some as soon as I remove that awful front plate holder

I took delivery today so I'm officially off this list! Yuppieeeeee!!!

I'm still waiting as well. Was told the car is in transit but nothing definitive yet. They also said the car was in transit 2 weeks ago so nothing will shock me at this point.

So what you're saying is their offer is worth about 60.5k to you which is basically market for the car if you're selling it yourself. Not sure what the debate is about...

Got the same thing yesterday. Bought an inventory car on 9/17 in Chicago. The car is/was located in Georgia. Was expecting delivery today so I called my ds to make arrangements but to my surprise was told the car isn't even here in Chicago yet. Not even sure if it left Georgia to be honest. Now...

This is true, I was referring to the financing option. The lease program is still theirs.

Waiving the doc fee is a standard thing they are doing for the Q3 push. The financing comes from Alliant credit union here in Chicago so not a Tesla thing at all. They assume all the credit risk and so on... Tesla is just pushing hard to sell cars which they should be doing.

No idea, but I'm curious to see it as well. Please post once you have done it with pictures :)

Unreal, I had the EXACT same thing happen to me last week and I also was not happy and had to take the R8 to the office! I think we found a rift in the space-time continuum...

Here is what happened with my car in a bit more detail. The 12V battery died due to the management system that failed on the big battery. The car would not turn on in once I got to the garage that morning. The handles worked fine but the screens stayed dark and the car refused to turn on. I...

Looks like my concerns were warranted. The battery management system is dead, they are replacing the entire battery for a brand spanking new one.

Well, it's completely dead. Got to the garage this morning and the handles present themselves but that's it. Screens are dark and I don't think this patient has a pulse. Just called tesla, let's see what comes of this.

Maybe this will do the trick. I'll just run it down over the next couple of days and then charge at a normal 60amps on the HPWC and see what happens.

The car was not plugged in while I was away but when I came back it still had over 150miles of available range showing. I have not called Tesla yet. - - - Updated - - - So I should drive it again, get it down to 130 or so and then plug it in for a few days essentially?

correct, I started with 113 in the "tank". Started charging at 60amps, then when there was about 1hr and 30mins left, i went and switched the display to 6amps.

Ok. The car just finished charging on my HPWC at 6amps. It took the whole night plus most of the afternoon today. However, my available range when fully charged now says 224! I'm now a full 20 miles down from what it used to display on a standard charge 10 days ago. Not sure what to do from here.

ok, will do tonight, I should be able to get the available range down to around 130 miles.

What if I'm using HPWC? How should I attempt this?

Ok looking forward to trying this tomorrow once I get the available range down a bit. Thanks for your help hopefully this will do the trick. Overall though this is very odd behavior, it dropped very fast about 16 full miles now from what I'm used to getting in about a week I'd say. I've been...

ok, definitely something weird is going on, I'm down to 227 on a standard charge. This is happened just over the last few days. Anyone have any ideas? Should I call Tesla about this?

Checked the status box today, still running 4.4, this is weird. Anyone else have seen something like this?

To echo what everyone has been saying here, I've had my normal charge range reduced by 12 miles in the last 2 weeks. The car stops charging now once it hits 230miles, it used to stop at 242 or 243. Any idea what this is related to? I don't think it's mileage related, I only have 4300 miles on...

Excellent, thank you. I will take a look tonight and put pics up once I'm able to fix this so others can see.

Mitch, thanks for the explanation. This is most likely what has happened. I was not able to find the fuse inside the box, is there a diagram I can refer to? The manual doesn't have anything of use that references this problem.

So I'm having a pretty bad week with the car. First, I had a rim destroyed over the weekend (details here http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/17216-rim-damage) and today my HPWC stopped working. I held the reset button, nothing. Went over to the panel and saw the breaker was in the...

I'm aware of all this with the 21in rims. This is also not my first go around with low profile tires since most of the cars I've owned had these on from the factory. I will be putting 19in wheels on in the winter, but for now, the 21s are staying. - - - Updated - - - Do you know if anyone...

Does anyone know if the current rims can take a 265 tire?

This was not a curb for sure, (there would have been a rash otherwise) I think this is the result of a combination of a few factors including the negative camber on the wheels so the outside of the rim/tire eats more of the impact. If just that part of the tire gives, the rim is completely...

Not sure how this could have happened but considering the gross weight of this car and the 21inch rims with low profile tires, I think this happened after I ran over a bridge connector (that metal rail that stick out between two pieces of concrete on a bridge to give it some flex). The oddity...

I have a 2008 Audi R8 that has been driven exactly 3 times since I've gotten my P85 in March. The Audi now sits and I am seriously considering selling it. The best comparison I can make is this: the R8 is like the sleekest, coolest and shinyest flip phone you could have bought a few years ago...

Sadly I agree, sold all my contracts in the mid 70s and have been waiting ever since. I think getting on the bandwagon at 90 is just way too high in terms of risk/reward. I'll bite the bullet closer to 80 I think.

I don't think swapping of the battery will be it. I think an upgrade of the superchargers with a much faster charge time and our cars current ability to already handle it. Plus they will reveal more locations that are either up and just waiting to be unveiled or will be built out in the very...

The battery case is steel, not aluminum.

This car is way past this at this point. The best indicator of that is Elon's stat of 25% conversion after test drive. I think if anything, a real early adaptor bought the roadster or the signature US model s at best.

This is kind of what I am worried about in the near-term. Since there are so many naysayers as is, the moment you miss just a bit they will drive the price down. Long term I think this company will blow the roof of this joint but I think the wild ride is just beginning and we will have as many...

Salami of hurt?

So what do you think of the idea that the EPS will not be as high in the 2nd quarter as in the first? The letter talks about higher R&D expenses and SGA expenses. I think the mix of cars will be much more diverse in contrast to the 1st quarter which was loaded with p85s mostly, which should...

correct, the real question is how the cost of the extra cells relates to the sales price of the more expensive model s p85 and a regular 85

I don't know if the costs are that different to be honest, the only real difference is the battery capacity and the power inverter. I have no idea what the material costs on the battery is since their assembly of the pack would cost the same. The power inverter should be a relatively...

Exactly, and I think that will be driven by the availability of financing.

yes, this was my thought initially as well, but I am not sure it will have a huge bearing on the earnings considering they will deliver slightly more cars and get incrementally better at the margin as the production line works itself out. Based on the guidance we received yesterday, I am not...

Here is what I think happened: Tesla was pushing EVERY reservation for a loaded P85 ahead of everything else. Mine arrived on the same truck to chicago as my buddy's car and I was over 1k reservations ahead of him. I finalized a month before he did and we got our cars at the same time. He did...

Wow, this is still a bit higher than I expected, but then again, this is a week old.

I think it's very much this. There is no way it can be anything else, t-shirts don't do it for me. (although they are nice and I have a few) :)
