ARS Technica Model S Video Review I couldn't get the video to be a separate link. Maybe someone smarter than me can figure it out! Video link is on this written review page -- about half way down page on right. http://arstechnica.com/features/2013/10/review-tesla-model-s/

The app does not show correct wheels for me. It shows silver and I have grey turbine. The rest might be correct but is small pic and assume color is right and little bump is spoiler. :)

I replaced my 2008 BMW M3 hardtop convertible with my new MS. The quote I got from AutoNation was $33,100. The quote I got from CarMax was $34,000. The BB private party resale value (car had 44k miles and was in excellent shape) was $40k. I ended up selling it on Autotrader.com for $38000...

The center console is after market -- from Tesla Accessories. I love it -- took all of 3 minutes to put in -- and can remove it just as fast when/if I feel like going minimalist like Elon intended. I personally need the storage so really don't see removing it anytime soon.

Thanks everyone! I love this thing :) I just drove it from San Diego to Lake Arrowhead CA (up 5.5k feet) for a total trip of about 130 miles. I started out with a full battery and arrived here with about 96 left. Awesome! It is a tan interior. Here are a few pics.

CQuartz Finest Applied & Windows Tinted -- Grey Model S with Pics I picked up the car last Friday and had the windows tinted and CQuartz Finest applied. I know this is all personal choice -- but think with tinting the car (and this color combo) just looks SOOO much better! :smile:

@Bonnie: Thanks for the article, but unfortunately my GPS error is not at all a "common" error. Every car I've owned has had GPS and this error is entirely "new" and not at all something that is within the 10 or so meters of that 2009 report. We are talking about a few hundred yards off! I...

I picked my car up on Friday (so it has 5.0) and it is wrong in terms of GPS about 20% of the time. This morning (as I took car in to get windows tinted and C.Quartz Finest applied) the nav system after putting the address in COULD NOT get me to my location. It had me on surface streets about...

Mnlevin -- think you need to post at least 5 messages -- then the option will appear. Just drop some "Congrats" comments in a few threads!

Congrats brianstorms! You went from delivery on the same day as me (Sat Sept 7th) to getting it tomorrow! :( My dashboard still says In Production and has since last Thursday. Yours seemed to jump along the assembly line much quicker than mine is! I actually was hoping that I would be able...

Thanks everyone. My BMW M3 parks on the side of the hill in flat area as it has no chance making the steep grade. My wife's SUV makes it in fine of course. Will just have to check the first time with a spotter and on the very high setting.

Hi, I am picking my Model S up next week and wondering if anyone has any video footage of the difference from low / standard / high suspension levels? I will be visiting another location in the Mtns that has an incredibly steep driveway and so am trying to figure out if at the highest...

Doors opened by greeter/school staff and kids welcomed each morning for my kids as well. Limited parking available and so parents pull in and quickly drop off to keep line moving.

Any car dealer would need to buy my car lower than what they can sell it for :) Carmax has my almost exact same car (missing a few features I have) for about 3k more than what I am asking as a private seller and at a price almost 18k higher than what AutoNation offered me. I am confident I...

FINALLY! I am crazy excited about this purchase (my wife tells her friends that it is just like having a baby with a due date!) and ordered the car on August 2nd. My Dashboard just changed to: In Production The Tesla Factory is building your Model S.

Thanks Tex -- I had thought about that and with CA 8% sales tax and thought it might work out to be close or even better as you suggest. However, the offer from Autonation was literally just over 50% of the blue book private resale value of my car. It is a car I took incredible car of, in...

I couldn't pull the trigger on the Red either! This is all about personal preference really as I find the Grey Metallic (which is what I ordered) to be the color which accents what I love most about the car! The understated "lethality" of my P85+. I got the grey turbine wheels and think the...

I just think you would regret NOT buying the 85 within a short period of time. Might as well bite the bullet and get the 85 to save yourself heartache and anguish later!

The trade in that Autonation offered me on my current BMW M3 was kind of "sad." Was literally 1/2 what I can make selling it myself if I am patient. I am usually NOT patient but with that much $$ on the line I can be! Let us know if your trade in offer is better.

I am tempted to pick my car up in Fremont and drive it home! If I could get an "available on a Monday" message from TMC. I could drive it from Fremont to San Diego and experience the tour of factory, Super Charger use, time alone with my new baby!

Yes congrats Crispix! Hope to see you around in San Diego. I ordered and am trying to patiently wait for my grey p85+. Brianstorms: I have a 10 am appt on Sept 7th to pick my new baby up as well. Maybe I will see you there! I will be the guy with silly grin on my face :)
