Ah ok that makes sense. There's tons of kids crawling everywhere too, which wouldn't help that either. The sales person told me it was due to wear and tear, but often they don't actually know the real reason for things.. She also said they're at a 50-50 sales mix for X and S.

Went to Yorkdale this week. In the gallery they had an updated red S and an Titanium/Silver/Greyish? X behind it. Down below in the parking lot I saw several new S's, a matte blue/purple S, and a white X. It's a shame they don't allow the X doors to be opened/closed by the showroom masses...

Does anyone know if there's any X's to check out at Yorkdale, and if not, when there will be? Want to make sure there's something to see before making the trek...

Elon wouldn't settle for a sub-par display/interior, would he? My guess is they'll show a slick HUD at Part 2 of the reveal. Gotta hold something back...

Assuming Tesla is still supply (battery) constrained, I wouldn't change a thing if I were them, until they start to become demand constrained. As soon as they're NOT selling everything they can make, then start cranking out the crowd-pleasing options... normal doors, removable seating...

I have to agree, Tinm. For those of us unable to make the conference each year, it was always great to live vicariously through the members who tweeted, live-blogged, etc... not to mention watching the videos that were posted shortly after. This radio-silence is the opposite of that...

Interesting, great insights. That's why I read these forums! If utilities were smart, they'd be building their business models around being the ones to finance, install and manage that in-house storage. If the history of technological disruption is any guide I doubt it will come from them...

Everyone is so fixated on size! :) Did you watch the entire video? In it he specifically addresses the cell size issue - it's not a performance driver in any way - so no need to get hung up about it. Same with the worries over lithium supplies, which also seems to cause us lay-people to...

JB's talk is up! https://www.youtube.com/user/JointVentureSV/videos Great talk as usual from JB - learned a lot. Keep in mind it's geared towards a grid-storage crowd. Wonder if Tesla will spin off "Tesla Energy Storage Inc." at some point... obviously that's a very capital intense...

I mean this in the most friendly way possible - and this goes for everyone in general - but if one is interested enough in a topic to post on a message forum about it, I highly recommend spending half an hour reading the Wikipedia article on said topic. Lots a fantastic basic (like the above)...

Great clip - it's nice to hear a reviewer gets it when it comes to range. Is that the new red? Did the people waiting for the multi-red notice this?

How much do you think it would cost to fund something like that, on a shoestring?

FANTASTIC! My compliments JBloch and Daedalous!! Now that we have a video that speaks to nearly everyone, how about one that speaks to the Hardcore Gearhead? I would love a promo video of a few P85s smoking a few well-regarded ICE cars off the line. Teslas can actually sound really...

WOW, that grey looks awesome!! I've only ever seen it indoors but it looks absolutely stunning in that outdoor shot. Congrats, and please post more!! So sleek and sophisticated...

TMC, It saddens me to hear about the early supporters / Signature reservation holders feeling (understandably) disappointed in Tesla for their out-of-order delivery sequence. At the same time, delaying production to satisfy a minority of customers would be a TERRIBLE decision at this...

Any Canadian reservation holder with a free +1 care to take pity on this die-hard Tesla fan? I've been obsessed with the company ever since Martin's first blog post and actually registered TeslaMotorsNews.com in 2007. Patiently waiting for Bluestar. Totally happy to meet someone at the door...

Ah, as a newbie I wasn't sure if it would let me post a URL. Let me try: Motor Trend Car of the Year: Tesla Model S | Hacker News Second thread second response.

Found this (very!) inspiring comment on Hackers News in response to Motor Trend's award: Honestly, how can anyone not be rooting for Tesla at this point?

Wow beakmeister, I cannot believe how stunning that paint job looks. More pics from different angles and lighting conditions please!

Great pics DrComputer! How do you like the new instrumentation? How many kW is full regen I wonder?
