    Value of my S40?

    I'm considering selling, but don't know where to start other than carmax. Any idea how much my 2013 S40 black with tan leather, obeche matte, tech pkg, pano roof, w/ jump seats is worth to carmax with 37k mi? Would Tesla buy back even if I'm not trading in? If so would they give a better price...

    Green car tax

    That's rich! I just thought this was strange so I wanted to see what others had to say on the matter. Thanks for all the great posts, I somehow agreed with all of them. As another poster pointed out, the tax layers conflict. I'm not anti-tax at all. But I just paid a lot to the state in...

    Green car tax

    Maybe I'm the last to hear about this, but I just discovered I will be levied a green car tax in VA for all the gas I won't be using. It's only$64, but I heard Oregon's will be over $500 and NJ is considering something similar.

    Pet Names for the Model S

    Tess was the name of my black lab growing up; my black 40 is, of course, Tess. Bonus: my kids' school mascot is Tess the Turtle, so they think they picked the name.

    Partial Recall announced on blog for Model S

    That's great, Brendan! After inquiring with headquarters, they asked the service center to call. We arranged for the fix to be completed in my driveway during one of my telework days this week. It's nice, because I will still be able to do morning and afternoon carpool, without moving kid...

    Partial Recall announced on blog for Model S

    I've only had my car for two weeks and I am impacted by the recall, so I am sad to lose this car for a day. Dumb question: is the left side seat in question the one directly behind the driver? My kids sit there all the time... Should I preferentially use the jump seats til the fix? i got...

    40 kWh Delivery Timing

    Got my 40 yesterday from Rockville! Mostly I'm driving like a nervous grandma, but I did accidentally go from 20 to something way above the speed limit in a few seconds on an on-ramp. 4 families have already stopped by to ask questions. I've downloaded the Tesla app and Recargo. What next? I...

    40 kWh Delivery Timing

    I was scheduled to pick mine up on the 14th, but now they are saying it will be here in 3 days! That's exciting! I would love to know a total for 40s. So, I live in VA, but am picking up in MD. I was told that they can no longer register my car for me, that I have to do it myself for Virginia...

    Agonizingly slow charging at 120 volts

    Maybe this is a silly question... Is leaving your S overnight in a public charging spot "safe"? Can anyone remove the plug? Wouldn't someone get annoyed with me if I leave my car there for 12 hours overNight while sleeping, taking up the spot for another user? i get my 40 in 2 weeks and...

    Random Model S sightings

    I live in Arlington, Va and saw my first S in my area on January 6th at a Starbucks in a strip mall--white. My husband saw a blonde lady in a black S in the same lot. Then I met an owner of a black 85 in our daycare lot as he was leaving Bank of America, not married to a blonde lady, so a...

    40 kWh Delivery Timing

    Don't know. Calling them hasn't been successful. I got a delivery window of 6/5-6/19, though. And my VIN email said I was heading to production. I have to be one of, if not the last 40, because I didn't decide til the last few minutes possible. Many thanks to the lady who did the test drive...

    Oh, wow, 250'! My house width is 35'. We are going from one side of the basement to another, inside the house until they come through for the outdoor outlet nearest my driveway. Sorry if I was being confusing.

    Outdoor Outlet Installed!

    I finally got my quote for my outdoor outlet. Does $1300 sound steep to anyone? They are running along the full front wall of the house from the main panel over to the driveway side.

    40 kWh Delivery Timing

    Pardon me in advance if this sounds snippy, but isn't this something we should know for certain? Given that some customers have received their 40s (yay!) shouldn't the folks at the service center be able to give exact instructions on the most efficient charging techniques for the cars they are...

    40 kWh Delivery Timing

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who kept getting a voicemail, and no info, when I called the main number. I am probably almost the last person who finalized a 40. What is the latest delivery window on here as of now? Late june? That's probably around when I'll get my car. I'm just going to wait...

    Interest rate from Tesla's Financing LESS than advertised

    Is this financing available for the 40 kWh pack? I seem to recall, on another thread, that the 40s miss out on better financing. My credit union can do 1.99 for 60 mo, too. If so, any advantage to financing through Tesla versus my own credit union? Buy-back? With 20 down, my loan would be for...

    First 40kWH delivery notice or email - who will it be?

    I was darn near the last finalized 40 and I got a call yesterday to confirm I didn't want to upgrade to a 60. He said he would send my order to the factory today. I asked when to expect the car and he said it should be done in June, delivered in July, and he thought out loud "like 12 weeks from...

    I still never got a pre mvpa after signing the online docs, But I have confirmed with my sales lady that I am in the system.

    40kwh Model S canceled

    I had similar thoughts about this. I'm excited about my 40 because it's all I need and can afford. And unless my needs change drastically in the next couple of years, I will not pay that steep amount for an extra 48 miles, as the technology, along with my car, has aged. Several years from...

    Outdoor Outlet Installed!

    So, what if the breaker box is clear on the other side of the house down in the basement? I don't think I want to run all over the place every time I park or drive off. Could this solve the problem: Connecticut Electric 60 Amp RV Panel with 50A Receptacle, Breakers & GFCI Duplex-CESMPSC55GRHR...

    Outdoor Outlet Installed!

    I need to get a plug installed within the next few months. Tesla Obviously suggested I contact solar city. However, I have an electrician that I use for most of my home projects. If I call him, what exactly Do I ask for? A NEMA 15 – 40? I do not have a garage. My car will be parked at the front...

    40 kWh Delivery Timing

    The day after I finalized my 40 late on Monday, I got the emailed paperwork to esign. The Instructions outlined several (~6) places to sign, but I think I only had to sign twice and initial once. When I clicked "done", the screen never changed and I never got an email confirming that I signed...

    40 kWh Delivery Timing

    Hi, thanks for all the responses. As of Friday, I decided that I wanted my luxury car to have luxury features and that I rarely drove more than 30 miles at a time. I got all of my questions answered by a representative out in California on Friday and decided to wait one or two months to get...

    40 kWh Delivery Timing

    Hi, I've been reading the posts for months, but never posted before. I have reserved a 40, but am waiting to finalize until I see some reviews by folks on this forum who receive theirs. I also would like to receive mine in Fall. Any tips for timing my finalization to do so? I have read with...
