Exactly. Poor management (on the sales chain) created the drama. Strong management (on the executive side) could have turned it into a win. The reality is that optional paint and interior colors have no measurable impact on production cost, but booking several hundred new sales in Q3 that are...

Yup. And it is perhaps an over-reaction to be pissed off about the discounts, as I also own a fair bit of TSLA picked up before the model S was even released. The swing from their next 10Q will have far more impact for me than the minor discounts, but that's kind of the point as well. Crap like...

I looked at both. When Tesla said the promo might not apply to an SR, I ordered an SR+. It turns out it had absolutely nothing to do with the issue. At least one of these statements made by Tesla representatives is accurate: "You can get the upgrades on new inventory purchases" "You can't...

Done like a char-broiled vegan patty....

Posts like this further illustrate the importance of accurate information being distributed in writing to local centers an directly contradicts Elon's recent tweet: "A fundamental premise of Tesla is that everyone is offered same terms at same time" Except when the aren't, Elon. Furthermore...

Just a few clarifications from the OP... 1. The free upgrades weren't something I had read about and asked for... It was something i had never heard about and was told about by the sales manager who was helping us. 100% unsolicited. It worked. I was not an EOQ buyer, the incentives made me...

Add me to the list of people hosed by mis-communicated and constantly changing promotions... Ordered, put down a deposit, and was matched to an inventory car based on the "two free upgrades" that the local sales manger told me about. And they just reneged on it all.... +2,500 price...

...I might also note that all of these incentives, free upgrades, free supercharging, etc. seem to be communicated between Tesla corporate and the local Tesla center *verbally* during conference calls... Nothing in writing, no emails, no electronic documentation of any sort. Really? Who does...

Sept. 2019, End of Qtr, Free upgrades, NOT! Wow, total **** show at the Tesla center trying to buy a new Tesla.. 1. Took a look at an M3SR last week, noted several inventory vehicles (SR+ that could be down-coded to SR) that might meet my needs. 2. Brought my wife in last weekend to take a...

Took a first test drive in a MP3DLR today... I have a M3DLR on order and asked the salesdroid if they didn't have a non-performance, dual motor model we could drive. They didn't. He claimed 'Chill mode' (which at that point I had never heard of) emulated the 'standard' performance level. Pretty...

I stopped over at the local delivery center today, Littleton Colorado. As I pulled up, I saw a transport truck pulling out, fully enclosed transport. I also saw full car wraps (tyvek-like covers) on the ground that local staff had pulled off a small number of cars that came in with them on, and...

I won't even dare to dream that they ditch the post seats (aka Elon's Folly) and go for a folding seat that gives a highly usable, large, FLAT cargo area. Some of us want an SUV to transport things other than rug rats, like dogs, skis, bikes, camping gear and other cargo. It seems the post...

...that 5-6 inches is exactly the extra space I hope the 5-seater recovers.

Looking at ordering an MX60D. I have no need for additional people space, but I would like more cargo space. Any speculation or answers on how the rear area will be configured on X's in the five passenger configuration, without the third row seat? I'm hoping that the cargo floor area will be...

Just test drove the new 70D today. It's been a while since my last Tesla test drive. Very impressive, and I like the new price-point... $75K (if you resist checking all the upgrades) for a dual-motor with enough range for my needs, minus ~$14K fed and state tax credits puts it square with gas...

April 2012: Reserve Tesla X. #852 for $5K and 300 shares of TSLA @ about $33/share April 2013: Model-X official delays widely reported. April 2014: Still have the X reservation, but can't wait any longer for new AWD vehicle. Picked up an 2014 Audi Q5 2.0T. 6X TSLA growth more than covers the...

My formula for a 'free' Tesla is a little different. I bought TSLA cheap the same day I put a deposit down on a Model X, Q2 2012. $5K deposit, $15K TSLA. Now I'm contemplating selling 1/4 the holdings, which along with the X deposit refund will just about cover 3-year total cost of ownership...

+1 on the post count...

Another one here... I don't post often, but it drives me crazy when I spot a typo in one of my posts and I can't fix it! - - - Updated - - - Do I need to get to a specific post count?

So has anybody had a Model S through a Colorado winter yet? I've been a Model X reservation holder for 16 months or so, but I'm tired of waiting and strongly considering an S, but honestly think the RWD S will probably be very limiting for real mountain driving in winter conditions. High...

I also hate front plates on my sportier vehicles, and particularly hate those front plate mounts that require tapping into soft bumpers for the license mount. I've lived in Colorado since '85, and have pretty much always had at least one vehicle without a front plate. In that entire time, I...

I put in a reservation for a Model X in April 2012. I was impressed enough with what I saw that I also put a multiple of the deposit amount into TSLA stock. Obviously I'm quite happy with the growth of TSLA (about 300%) and what that means for the company. It allows them to leverage their...
