The one I am buying has VIN 68xxx

Thanks all for your feedback, I confirmed with my sales person the car will be sold as new, the new car warranty will start the day I take delivery (car was built at the end of September '17). Apparently Tesla has a fleet of demo cars in Los Angeles and this is where this demo is coming from...

Looking to move from a 2013 Model S to a 2017 Model X. Found a demo car with ~3200 miles that has a $13.6K discount. Any advice from those that have gone down the same path? Demo_100D_Config by get_amped posted Dec 22, 2017 at 7:59 PM

Thanks for the feedback. Do you see any difference in noise compared to the previous tires you had on?

I have almost 13k on my OEM Continentals and it's time for a change. They have gotten really noisy over the past couple of months and the rears are down to 3/32 on the inside edge. I wanted to go with the Michelin PSS however it appears they are nationally back ordered until January. Anymore...

Had my car for almost three months. 100% charge with firmware version 5.8 gives me 208 miles. It used to be 215 with version 5.6. 90% charge used to be 182 with version 5.6. Today it was 178 though it has been cooler the last week so that I'm sure plays into it. With temperatures above 60 I...

Tried a full charge last night for only the second time since I've got the car. With v5.0 I was getting 215. With v5.6 I am now getting 207. Anyone else out there with a 60 kWh pack that has experienced this?

I got my 5.6 update last Thursday. Standard charge is 181, vs. 182 with version 5.0.

Thanks Tex. I like what you've done with yours :wink:

Before and after. Formula One Pinnacle 35% on the sides, 15% on the back and Air Blue 80 on the windshield.

Some shots of my blue S after i washed it earlier today.

Well, she's finally here and she's a beauty. Few quick iPhone pics from the delivery earlier today. Getting the windows tinted on Tuesday and Opti Coat on Thursday.

Mine looks to be four days early. I was supposed to pick it up on Thursday the 19th, got a call yesterday that it will be ready for delivery tomorrow. These next 24 hours will be rough :wink:

That was not my experience. State Farm gave me a quote that was within $75 of what I was quoted by Geico. Went with State Farm so I could bundle it with the house insurance. Considering that my previous insurance company, MetLife, didn't even have the model S in their database, I was satisfied...

Here's the explanation I got: "We can offer the RVG to qualified TechCU customers who reside in states where Tesla does not yet have a dealer’s license. For customers who live in Tesla financing states, such as California, we offer the RVG through US Bank and Wells Fargo." With this policy what...

Thats the same person I have been dealing with...small Tesla world. Is is obvious to me based on the different experience we've had with the same person that Tesla has different rules based on where you live. I don't think this is right...

I have asked both my DS and the finance person from Tesla HQ, who's been answering my questions over the last few weeks, about TechCU being an alternative to Wells and USBank with the resale guarantee. They are both telling me that going through TechCU will not get me the resale guarantee. What...

It took a month for me. Order finalized on 8/9. Sourcing parts changed to In Production on 9/9.

What kind of rate are we talking about with TechCU?

Im being told the same thing by my DS. Apparently next week they're building a batch of 60's and mine will be one of them. Whether it's BS or not I can't say.

It's the same exact hardware. The explanation I got from the local store was: "we looked at what other high end cars charge for premium sound and we felt our system was underpriced". So all they did was jack up the price by $1500 while giving it a new name. IMHO, it's ludicrous that they are...

My Dashboard still says sourcing... Just talked to my DS. Mine is scheduled to come off the production line on September 12th. It takes them a couple of days to ship it down to SoCal. I'm hoping for delivery on September 16th.

They seem to vary. I finalized on 8/9 and my estimated delivery is scheduled for 9/19. Production scheduled for the week of September 9th. I hope it holds but based on recent reports I'll probably get it a week later than promised.

An '11 S class Benz sells on average around $70k - $75k. New on average around $100k- $110k. Around 10% - 12% per year is expected on a luxury car. To lose %50 over the three year period on the best and safest car on the market seems like a stretch. What you'll probably see in three years is...

Placed my order on 8/9/ VIN is 20039. Estimated delivery is 9/20.

Thanks

For those of you that have financed through Alliant, does the automatic payment have to come from an Alliant checking account, or could it be from a checking account at a different bank?

Blue with grey interior and carbon fiber is my combination as well. If you're looking for interior pictures this thread has some good ones: anyone with grey leather and carbon fiber?

if you believe so strongly in the resale guarantee why didn't you use Tesla financing? BTW, if a major issue arises in a year or two the resale guarantee will be worthless. You have to own the car at least three years to qualify for it.

Yes, I got my VIN, 20039, on August 13th.

Finalized the order on August 9th. Got call from DS yeaterday that car will go into production the week of September 9th. Estimated delivery is September 19th. I'm in SoCal.

Thanks Colasec. I think I'll go with the lowest rate I could find (1.49% at Alliant) instead of the Tesla offered financing. i find it hard to believe that a $92,000 Model S will only be worth $41,684 after three years. In this scenario I would hope the car will be worth closer to $60,000 after...

Since I just placed my order and haven't yet discussed financing with Tesla I would like to make sure my understanding of the resale guarantee is correct or not. Please help correct my assumptions where wrong. For the sake of this example I will use a 60Kwh car that has a price of $71,070 and...

Thanks for the feedback guys. I added the pano roof option to my order and finalized it. Now the wait begins...

Do the recently delivered cars, say July and August, still have the roof noise problem? I am on the fence whether to order it or not...
