Swung by on my way home tonight. Coming along nicely. The "guy in charge" wasn't very helpful with a completion date. He said all the equipment should be installed over the next couple weeks, but has no idea when they'll get power to it.

Swung by the 28th Street Meijer on my way home. Construction has begun....

Xpel Ultimate on everything from the mirrors forward, including the headlights, by Paint Protection Plus in Plymouth, MI. Then CQuartz Finest on the entire car, by C. Charles Hahn - Automotive Appearance Specialist in Lansing, MI. Absolutely love it! :love:

Last night, as I was headed to the parking lot after watching my son's Summer Theater performance, I noticed a crowd around my car. There were three families circling around it. As I walked up to join them the door handles came out. One of the guys turns to me with this look of awe and says...

I took my car in for paint protection, and while I was dropping it off, the detailer and I noticed some scratches on the chrome trim around the rear door, on the very point. We looked at the rest of the chrome and there are scratches in the exact same place on the opposite side of the car, just...

My car went to the Chicago Service Center for quality checks and prep, then was delivered to my house on a Saturday. The delivery guy was very professional. He even laid a clean towel on the door of the car where he rested his arm while backing it off the truck.

Just got my car and one thing I noticed was that I couldn't find my charge cable in the trunk, because it was so dark in there. I could not believe that there wasn't any light at all in there. There are two cut out holes in the upper corners of the carpet and I was wondering how they could...

Just got my car Saturday. I thought I'd try charging at a free public charger a couple minute walk from my office. I have never seen anyone at these chargers. Almost got ICE'd my first time charging in the wild! Where I parked was the last open spot in the entire parking lot.

Last Friday my DS said they were working on prepping my car, and that he was trying to schedule a third party for delivery to my house, since getting to the service center 3-4 hours away was going to be difficult for me. I was planning on the car being delivered today or tomorrow. Friday night...

So last week I got an email from my DS saying “I just wanted to let you know your Model S is going through Paint”. The next morning my Dashboard said ‘In Production’. Just a few days later it changed to ‘Being prepared for pickup or delivery’. I was told a while back that delivery would...

Kind of like those blurry trail cam pics of the Michigan Dogman! - Dude, that's a Ford Fusion. - No, it's a Tesla, I swear! - C'mon, obviously a Kia Optima. - It's a Tesla, look, I've got plaster casts of its tire tracks! :biggrin:

Looks a lot like my choices. I tried to limit the extra cost adders to keep it "affordable". I'm going with aftermarket paint protection though, since it sounds like factory isn't the greatest. I'm in Michigan and did not get the Subzero. I can live without the washer/wiper heaters, and I...

Just got an email from my DS, "I just wanted to let you know that your Model S is about to enter production." :biggrin:

Then... Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A (Start)

I put in a 10kW system last year here in Michigan with net-metering. I pay the same $14.00 “Availability Charge” as the non-generating customers. I have a smart bi-directional meter. It keeps track of how much power I pull from the grid, and how much power I send back to the grid. The rate...

I think I just saw my first Michigan Tesla! It happened so fast, I just caught it out of the corner of my eye. I was heading East on I-96, they were heading West, between Lansing and Grand Rapids about 4:15 pm today. It might have been green, but it's overcast so I'm not positive. Hopefully...

I ordered/confirmed 4/10, got my VIN on 4/11, but didn't get a call from my DS until 4/23. I was tempted to call too, but didn't really have a reason, other than I wanted to feel like something was actually happening. I'm sure they'll call soon.

Looks like your psychic powers are still strong. Received an email from my DS saying this: "I estimate that your vehicle will be here in Chicago the week of June 2nd."

You're right, I really don't have anything to complain about. The whole experience so far has been great, and I'll be driving that incredible car soon enough. You have to admit though that having your Dashboard say Late May for almost two weeks, then having your DS say June 16th is a little...

So, ordered/confirmed my S85 on 4/10, got my VIN on 4/11, My Tesla Dashboard shows Estimated Delivery: Late May. I got a call from my DS this afternoon to introduce himself. He said my current delivery date is looking like June 16th. Huh? For some reason I was thinking Late May would be in...

Just an 'S' 85. As much as I'd love a P85, I couldn't justify the huge price increase.

Ask and ye shall receive!!! VIN # 40138, Estimated Delivery: Late May!

And now the wait begins... Ordered/Confirmed yesterday, RN642092, Dashboard showing "Sourcing Parts", delivery LATE June! I sure hope that's a conservative preliminary time frame, and that I'll be pleasantly surprised once I get an actual delivery date. Tried not to get too carried away with...
