Have had 3 Teslas (2 S, 1 3) fully-wrapped at Metropolitan Detail. Do great work.

Maybe covered in other replies - suggest wrapping pole & hardware in a protective foam so in the unlikely event the pole falls on your vehicle any damage would be superficial. My charging power is also on the wall opposite the charging port, so have had to lay cable on concrete floor, for the...

Your revised prototype doesn't interfere with the air intake, which is probably important.

Just ordered a front seat(s) set for our just delivered red Model 3. Mandatory here in the Pacific Northwest. So excited that I forgot to take the 20% discount. :-(

The vehicle John is referring to above is our red Model 3, which I dropped off at their shop on Monday and hope to pick up tomorrow, Friday. Metro Detail has applied a full wrap to both Model S vehicles I have owned. I don't believe I have an OCD personality ( :-) ), but I do appreciate how...

4.5 years ago, when I took delivery of my first Model S, I remember crying on the drive home, crying with the joy of being so fortunate as to own/drive such a fantastic vehicle. Had the same experience all over again this morning, driving home my partner's Model 3. What a beautiful car, what a...

If it hasn't been suggested earlier in this thread, email your federal senators and congresspersons, asking them to do what they can to remove this EV tax credit elimination from today's H.R. 1. It will take you 10 minutes max - something to do until your M3 arrives. :)

2012 Prius, although the Prius will probably not leave the stable until its current driver ("soon" to be a M3 driver) has vanquished any remain shreds of range anxiety. Stable includes (2nd) Model S and 2000 Toyota Tundra (out: clean green & in: compost).

Metro Detail did a full Xpel wrap on BOTH my Model S's - excellent job, nice folks. $8K, well-worth every penny.

Over the past 48 months I have purchased two Tesla Model S vehicles. The two purchases were in two different calendar/tax years. On my tax returns for each year I was able to claim the full $7,500 tax credit - in other words, the federal taxes I owed/paid were reduced by $7,500, for each of...

My first Tesla Model S 85 was RWD and, of course, it was a fantastic automobile. After 20 months of ownership I "upgraded" to a 85D AWD, mostly 'cause I wanted to experience AWD (my first AWD vehicle) and the enhanced AP capabilities. 24 months later still totally in love with this car. Hope to...

Wayne Sandall at Active Engineering ([email protected]) installed my outlet, in 2013, for nearly $1,000. Conduit from the panel, with more than adequate power available, NEMA 14-50 outlet, with regular 110 outlet attached (Christmas lights!). Have since installed a 30-panel solar...

I love my GREEN S85 and with the full Expel clear wrap the car looks stunning most of the time. Think if I move to the full-on P85D I'll go for the super RED color, black interior and darker wheels.

Colfax? Jack, is Colfax on "the list" for a L2 charger?. I know Colfax is not considered part of the north region, but I travel there at least once a year for photography. I've talked with the folks at the BW Wheatland Inn in Colfax and they indicated the local CofC/tourism group was less than...

The Sokol Blosser Winery has two charging stations, ChargePoint if I remember correctly.

Another vote for Metro Detail in Bellevue. They wrapped my green S85 in October. Did a great job in 3 1/2 days. I didn't need a loaner, they gave me a ride to/from my home in Burien. Smart investment.

The Model S is a big car, seemed to suck up all the garage space the first time I parked inside. Old house, 91" garage door opening, leaving 2-3" of mirror clearance on each side. I drive in and back out, mostly out of habit. Plants very close to driveway on driver's side, so easier to see and...

I have found that that question is usually an entre to talking about how cool the car is. The question is asked with a joking tone, knowing that the whole fire thing is a bogus issue.

Welcome to the Seattle-area Tesla owners cabal. What is your color choice, so we can look for you on the road? Have had my green S85 for nearly 3 months and every driving moment is heaven. No issues other than the (common) GPS spinning maps. I have black leather seats, but then I've always had...

Thanks! Happy T-Day. Go Dallas!

Had my Model S for two months and just today noticed the small shelf/cubby hole just below the screen :redface:. A mostly black interior and dark garage kept it obscured. Wonder what else I've missed :wink:. Completely off-topic, how does one "reboot" the car, or the screen? Curious if doing so...

Saw two Model S's in two days, both on Ravenna Ave NE, in Seattle. A beautiful pearl white and a green (like mine) and dirty (like mine). Was driving so no pictures.

I noticed the change in regen immediately after upgrading. I even pulled over to check the settings, to see if the update had changed them. I prefer the pre-update regeneration; the new regeneration just feels sloppy. Understand the lcy road issue, but we don't do much icy roads in the urban...

12 midnight, 240v 50/40amp

Software upgraded on Model S this morning, from 5.0 to 5.8 (1.49.22). Many of the enhancements were already part of 5.0. Haven't driven yet, looking forward to the non-spinning maps :biggrin:

Just a three week turnaround here in Washington State.

Um, don't try that clever maneuver with (either of) your Model S's :eek: Otherwise, an amusing story, well-written. Only have had my Model S for five weeks, but yesterday's visit to a clogged-up Costco gas station, in my partner's Prius, was painful. He gleefully mentioned gas was down to...

I've had my Model S for four weeks now and every time I open the garage door, and see it sitting there quietly gleaming, I think, "oh man, I get to drive it again!". Just like a 5-year old kid!

And then take it to your local detail ship for its wrap or OptiCoat or whatever...:smile:

There were two of us Green Model S's at the Centralia WA SC yesterday afternoon, with my vehicle 3 weeks old and the other nearly a year old. My succession of previous car colors has been gray, red, blue, champage, black, silver, etc - so Green was the next obvious choice. Love it!

My DS recommended Neighborhood Electric for the 14-50 install and they are who I used. The house is 60 years old and the electrical panel was upgraded 10 years ago. Enough juice into the house as the kitchen range, HW heater, furnace and dryer were all converted to gas when the house was...

Doin' the Palouse, eh? - - - Updated - - - Whoa - say more about this laser beam. Very tight fit through the garage door in the garage itself, at my 60-year-old home.

Just called TorkLiftCentral to see if I could drop by their shop and pick one up ("The Law"), but out of stock for about 10 days.

I had Metro Detail wrap my entire green Model S last week. They did a great job. I took delivery on Sunday, dropped it off Monday morning and picked it up Thursday noon. Yep, it is $8,000. But I didn't want any gee-I-wish-had-gotten-it-wrapped sleepless nights. With the wrap it should wash and...

As a newbie (one week of driving), isn't CHAdeMO DC, thereby bypassing the on-board charger(s), just like a Teska Supercharger station?

Phew! Really looking forward to the facts. All this speculation is exhausting...and perhaps pointless.

Gary Rem Yes, a full wrap of the vehicle. Recommended by several owners. Took a close look at a Green MS and could not tell it had been wrapped. Owner demonstrated how you get a non-streaky shine by just wiping it off. Figured I'd be spending a bit more time keep the car looking top notch so...

Picked up my Model S this morning at Bellevue SC. My DS said they were delivering 6 today and 6 tomorrow. Had to rush home to watch the Seahawks beat (from a 17pt deficit) Houston. Per usual, it is raining in Seattle. The color is actually green. 85 | Pano | Air | Tech | Hi-Fi | Parking...

Contacted my DS today who said my vehicle has been loaded on the truck and should arrive at the Bellevue Service Center Saturday night - so sticking with Sunday AM delivery. Maybe they'll surprise me... :smile: I'll have the vehicle less than 24 hours before turning over to Metro Detail for a...

Just returned from 10 days off the grid (rafting down the Colorado through the Grand Canyon) to find my Model S "Production Completed". Delivery scheduled for this Sunday, 9/29. Maybe they'll move the delivery up a day or two, which would be way cool!

I confirmed my order 8/28, delivery specialist email within 5 days (over Labor Day weekend), to get things rolling with insurance, sale of current vehicle, garage power, etc AND to say my 85 will be available for pick up on 9/29. Do have a VIN and My Tesla sez September delivery and sourcing...

Mostly retired CPA, nonprofit sector; sold, set up and trained user on NPO accounting software. When not obsessing about my Model S (on order), I obsess about photography.

Wow, very inspiring. Great parents and employer. And that Chevy is a cool ride. :smile:
