That's really gracious of you, Bonnie. I hold a reservation, but my huge question (well, my only question) is if I can fit the dogs' crates in. A couple minutes measuring the cargo area will confirm that I can keep our reservation. If not, my options are, cancel the Model X reservation and find...

Well, that and Taupe sounds like a color your great aunt, the librarian, wears. I like it a lot. I really like white for my MX, but I wanted to put some sort of paint protective coating on it (which everyone agrees looks horrible on white). Traditional silver gets lost in rain and fog. I had...

But you're not. California vehicle code: (b) A person shall not drive a vehicle described in subdivision (a) of Section 5205.5 with a single occupant upon a high-occupancy vehicle lane pursuant to this section unless the decal, label, or other identifier issued pursuant to Section 5205.5 is...

California is voting on cutting sales tax on electric vehicles in half. If passed, the reduction would start in 2016. My high reservation number might pay off nicely. :) California bill would reduce sales tax on green cars - LA Times

We're at the same place, EchoDelta. Our MS is an S85, suspension package, tech, and jumpseats. That's basically what I want on my MX: so "similarly equipped" is how I arrive at that price. A tow package is the other big requirement for me. I'm not going to trust an aftermarket shop to install...

I'm expecting $125K-135K for a reasonably equipped Model X out the door. That means I'll include options that are functional (suspension and good seats) and no fancy fun stuff (pretty interiors and upgraded audio). I'm not counting on tax credits at this point. It's too hard to tell what the...

Not a bad guess: off 8 near 15. Grossmont Center at 8 and 125 (with Highways 94 and 52 not that far away) makes sense for the same logic. As long as the supercharger is centrally located, I'm thrilled. Next to a Rubio's (and both locations are)? Perfect! ;)

You may want to talk to your auto insurance broker/agent. Some insurers offer this coverage for far less than you can get it through a finance company or bank. We never finance enough of our cars to make it worth it, but my State Farm agent always offers it. The insurance company can offer it...

My car isn't wrapped, but I just asked my detailer to handle it. He applied a rectangle of 3M bra (after doing a detailing job) and then applied the sticker to the bra material. Works great.

Sheesh. Unoriginal kid is unoriginal. I wonder where he got this "the hood flew up while I was driving" idea? :( http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2014/10/10/nissan-altima-recall-hood-open/17035189/ eyeroll. He's gotta put a little bit more effort into crafting his uh...

Oh, I hadn't noticed. I'm now 14308. I'm sure they'll sort it out. Now, to see what fun stuff they send us for this little roller coaster ride! I hate to be greedy, but I like those TM blanket throws. I just don't have enough need for one to justify the cost. So if they toss in a throw and a...

My funds were just deposited into my account very early this morning. I'm guessing your cheque is enroute. As long as they didn't return my funds, I held out hope, but, nope, now I'm just one of the hoi polloi again with a thirteen thousand reservation. :)

I don't think there was a "glitch" either. My funds were transferred FAST. That wasn't a simple coding glitch. The finance office processed the transfer within 12 hours of my reservation being placed. I didn't get a call until later last night. When I saw "Palo Alto" on my phone's display, I...

Wait. What? Did Tesla actually transfer your funds? And have they put them back?

I don't understand. My rear trunk/hatch can be opened three ways: from the touch screen, with my fob, and touching the button under the S while standing outside the car. Where else do you want a button? Are you saying you want a button for the frunk too? (I really am kind of confused what...

This is really exciting. We were just looking at the supercharger map a few nights ago and hoping that the northern route would be coming soon. It really connects the PNW to the rest of the country.

I keep thinking that because I'm impatient. But then when Musk says the company will be producing driverless cars by 2016, I think, aw heck, I don't want my X too early. A driverless SUV? I can be in the back, stretched out in my sleeping bag. Wake me when we get to Glacier, Yellowstone...

^^^ This exactly. I have dogs bouncing in and out of my car constantly, including the rear where we have jump seats they sit on. The Tesla mats look great when wiped off, but stand up to abuse. They're sturdy enough handle dirt, sand, rain, etc and flexible enough to fold to lift out of the...

You're right, in theory. But when a company has as much personal info as TM does, I think it can make owners itchy if the manufacturer is releasing information without consent. When I moved out of state, my Nissan dealership printed up all my records. Other than warranty records that go to...

Good suggestion. This is definitely something people in the secondary market need to keep in mind But Tesla's position makes a lot of sense ethically and legally. My Tesla vacuums up a lot personal information on a day-to-day basis. I don't want it shared with anyone without my permission...

I've never waited for a supercharger. Don't forget, Tesla owners generally charge at home (and sometimes at work). Most use superchargers on longer trips. Since you're waiting for a Model III, you may be still be thinking in terms of the ICE model where everyone gets their fuel at gas...

We own a Model S and have a reservation for an X. Neither of them Signature. I think there is an algorithm that only makes sense to Tesla corporate (maybe with some service center input?). When I got my reservation, I tried to clear my schedule; but when I couldn't, I immediately RSVP'd that I...

Eh, I think this is a mantle that can be shared. What's the saying? You can't be too rich or be too old and creepy? :cool:

The videos I've watched show two buttons for each door: one is in the door itself , much like the Model S truck lid, which requires reaching above your head. So it rises with the door. But there's also a button on the B pillar (between the front and falcon wing door), so shorter people or...

Yes. This.

Third Row Seat Access Van sliding doors will never allow you easy full access to the rear seat because the sliding doors need a rail to slide back on. So you're always going to have to crawl around the door to get into the rear seat. This isn't just an issue for passengers of the rear seat but...
