    Main Battery Replacement

    My main batter failed today I have a 6 month old 85s. Put 17k miles on that baby already - love my car. Was heading up to a Dr. appt this morning when I got a series of warnings after about 20 minutes of driving in 70 degree weather at about 70 miles/hr. I was about 10 miles away from the...

    Tesla Financing Terms have changed

    That's correct. When I closed, Tesla got 2 checks. My down payment and the payoff amount from Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo is carrying the risk / getting the interest. Tesla's already whole on my car.

    Got my Model S - 2 days early. Story and pics!

    Yeah. lol that picture posted upside down. The piece that's crumpled up there is almost like a stiff tape. Doesn't appear to be any (much) scratching our gouges on the frame, just that the tape got rolled up. Taking it to the SC on Friday.

    Got my Model S - 2 days early. Story and pics!

    So after my first weekend I have put 500 miles on the car. Did one excursion to Prescott that was 160 miles round trip. Left with 235 miles of range on the car. Heading out of Phoenix to Prescott there is a fair amount of altitude to climb. Got to Prescott with 118 miles of range left on the...

    Got my Model S - 2 days early. Story and pics!

    Used them last night on my midnight drive to Wickenburg. That's a 30 minute drive from my house through the middle of nothing. Temp drops in the desert vs the city so it was about 67 degrees out. Windows down, sunroof at 30%. Stereo bumping. Running at about 70. Glad I had the extra...

    Well, there HAS been fog once before. I use them when driving out in the desert where it's super dark. plus i like the look.

    Got my Model S - 2 days early. Story and pics!

    I've been dusting the outside constantly. We had a dust storm here yesterday so it got filthy. That and removing fingerprints from the door handles. Carry a soft cloth in the glove box for emergency interior dust removal. I am obsessing.

    Got my Model S - 2 days early. Story and pics!

    Standard. Honestly, this car drives so well I have a hard time imagining much more improvement with Air. I put the money into the parking sensors and stereo...both I knew I would use. The sensors are great and help me tremendously in my tight garage. I love my music and this stereo performs...

    Got my Model S - 2 days early. Story and pics!

    Thanks! It does have a tendency to look dark. But in this AZ sunlight, as others have noted, the blue seems to pop a little more. Have you ordered one yet? What color are you looking at?

    Got my Model S - 2 days early. Story and pics!

    On firmness with charger. I'm realizing that now. I've been hesitant to force much as I don't want to bend/break anything. Used the J1772 adapter here at work this AM and had to really pull to get it out of the port. Just don't want to hurt something out of ignorance. On the battery cover...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Congrats. I also got the hi-fi. I don't have anything to compare it against, but I LOVE the performance of my audio system. Haven't even pushed the volume beyond 6 (yet).

    Got my Model S - 2 days early. Story and pics!

    So I live in North Phoenix - not very far from the temporary SC. I had a scheduled delivery date for my blue/black S85 of Saturday 9/28. Figured since I was in the neighborhood and my car was certainly there already that I'd drop in to just take a peak at her. Found one of the valets and told...

    Phoenix Service Center?

    My office is at Hayden and Raintree so I approve this permanent location. The guys at the temp center told me their last day by DV airport was, October 7 (something like that).

    Thank you. I live super close to it so, I'll drive by like a stalker.

    Phoenix Service Center?

    Can someone tell me the address / location of the Phoenix temporary service center? I know the Scottsdale location is coming soon, but wanted to know where the temp location is since I get my car on Saturday....was thinking of taking a stroll over there to see if I could get sneak peek.

    Finally placed my order tonight

    I went standard S too. This car is PLENTY for me and the kind of driving I do. I will engage in the occasional red light race, no doubt about it, but I just don't need to launch to 60 in 4 seconds vs. 5 seconds. Money *is* and object for some of us. - - - Updated - - - Incidentally, my...

    Insurance for Model S is surprisingly low (for me at least)

    hmmm. maybe I *shouldn't* be fine with +$30/mo. Time to call around....

    Insurance for Model S is surprisingly low (for me at least)

    It appears I'll be up about $30/mo going from a 2007 Mini to the 2013 Model S. I'm fine with this. I'm on Progressive.

    Our 85 has arrived almost as expected.

    You know, now that you mention it. The acceleration of my delivery from October to 9/28 originally seemed like a no-lose proposition. Now I´m (a little) concerned that I´m going to be dealing with annoyances birthed from a rush to make the Q3 number look a little better. Let´s hope not.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Mine, too. I´m scheduled for 9/28 (at 11:00AM), but car is still ¨sourcing parts¨ on dashboard. I presume that someone is manually controlling dashboard status vs. it being an automated feed from the production schedule.
