70%?, In Cali you can put any shade you want on the car behind the driver. The front doors can have a clear UV or up to a 88% VLT which you can barely tell is tinted. Front windshield can only have a 4" sunstrip. If you do the front windshield running something like Air Blue at a 78% VLT is hard...

No USC sticker here.

I was there at around 10:30AM this morning in my silver 85. Drove from LA to Vegas and back to LA today. I have now visited every SC in Cali using Barstow today!

Probably just a training issue with the staff. Prepaid is just that, you pre-pay to get a lower price. That in no way implies the service will be different.

If everyone continues to take these cars I would not doubt it stays that way long term. If offered anything less than promised then you must let them know this is not acceptable. Prius, really? I would have been so pissed!

Why would you need a pouch notification. I mean you can just check the app yourself and see where your at. Others may not want a push so pulling the data on demand like it is now is probably not going to change. Also at a supercharger you should now remaining time and should be checking the app...

Just completed my first range charge at 1773 miles. VisableTesla is reporting 267.8 miles rated and 303.9 ideal. I have been getting 235 rated miles on a 90% charge since we picked it up.

With kids, yes I would turn down the roadster. When you base a purchase on the perks of ownership when buying a $100,000+ car your damn right I want the perks. While I understand the need for cash in a growing company a promise is a promise. You don't bite the hand that is feeding you. The best...

Curious, do they pay of gas in the loaners? I thought I saw on the Tesla site P85 loaners will be provided. Looking just now I see loaners and no mention of a P85. Has this been changed? I know I bought the car knowing this first class service existed so changes to it would not make me a happy...

I agree they will low ball. I went to carmax and they offered me $10,000 for my truck. I already have offers for $15,000 just listing it through eBay/Craigslist for a week. I thought they would at least be reasonable, guess now I know.

I arrive in SJC around 8ish and will be at the factory at 9AM. My dashboard still says sourcing parts but pick does show 9AM on 23rd still.

I think it only takes a week to build. I am scheduled for factory pickup on the 23rd and I am still sourcing parts. I assumed mine would probably not start production till end of next week at the earliest.

Anyone know if you can use the tax credit to write off past tax liability? Say if you owe the IRS $4000 for 2013 but you had $3500 in debt from the previous year, would the credit wipe out the previous year as well?

to remove the door handles so the wrap can go inside the edges. It's also pretty normal to remove them for tinting if the trim is attached.

I ordered mine with coils for the same concerns you have. I did see unneeded repair costs down the road with air suspension and I also saw limited choices in aftermarket suspension upgrades in relation to coils.

Why run, its not going to explode like a gas tank could. Seems rather reasonable to get out safely, retrieve fire extinguisher and try to suppress the fire if possible.

ER is Earnings Report. Think he was talking about his strategy around earnings, sell before, or after report was released.

I carry a pocket knife with break glass on the end. Always a good idea to have.

Anyone with an S considering carrying a fire extinguisher onboard? Just to have a little extra insurance. When I was younger it was a must have in the VW bugs I drove. What kind would be required to put out a battery fire? Chemical one I suppose?

Hearing this is definitely helping me while I wait on my pick up date. I can feel the Tesla grin on my face already!

I ordered early October, got my VIN today. I had already asked for late Dec delivery for this such reason. I could have got the car a bit earlier but I am paying cash and don't get a portion of of the money needed till mid December. I am doing a factory pick up in the 23rd just in time for xmas...

Bummer on the stock. EM did note the demand is there, but the supply of cells is not. He said get an order in now as the wait is going to grow. I think the more of the cars out there the more they get noticed and wanted by others just adds to it. Tesla owners are the best salesman Tesla has.

I have a KTM 530 now, scary similiar , are you my long lost brother or something :biggrin:. I think mileage loss on the S if far more acceptable then the leaf/focus/fit's out there. Agree the superchargers and for that matter more public stations will exist down the road. I think gas stations...

Think about the same thing if you had a Focus or a leaf. They also will lose range over the years, and it will hurt even more on them since they were already limited to begin with. Yet another reason to get an S!

Sub, Your situation is almost a mirror of mine! Scary close! I have an 8K system on the house I am in. I work from my home office (IT work). I have a pool and with cali summers I can tell you I am not making close to enough on my panels. It helps for sure, but I end up paying in the hotter...

Man you guys are a bad influence! For me to pull off a P I would have to wait till next spring to get it. I have to have that tax credit with a lack of write offs this year so it just can't be done. I started off looking at the Ford Fusion so this is already a huge step up from my original...

I do want the P but I am trying to be reasonable once in my life. I simply can't afford to go with the P. Seriously had to scrape to get what I am ordering. Yes I will drive the crap out of it once wife gets home but she will be putting the major miles on it. That was why I went with 19's as she...

I test drove the P. Yes it was that and a bag of chips. Do I want it, hell yeah!. I even had an inventory car offered at a $10,000 reduction but still could not swing it once it had all the taxes and crap adding in. If I was driving it daily it would have been a P+ but for the wife not needed...

So I test drove the S on 10/3, placed order on 10/5, confirmed order on 10/10. I asked for factory tour and pickup Dec 27th. I am an instant gratification type guy so this waiting down right sucks! I could have got the car earlier but I am paying cash and needed the extra time before delivery...

This about sums it up for me as well. My wife will be driving this S85 to work each day. I will only see it when she gets home (I work from home office). The extra cost I could not justify and this is coming from someone with a racing background. I know I will kick myself later but it all came...

I confirmed on 10/10 and after reading the site I called and got the power mirrors added to my build. I had a specific date in late December I asked for delivery so think since they are still sourcing parts its not an issue. I loved having these on my Mercedes and was kind of bummed the car was...
