Thanks, but I don't need hope here since everything already worked out very smoothly. It's interesting to observe how people start to whine and cry around on the internet as soon as it appears that someone was actually smarter than themselves. S2000 just gave a perfect demonstration. Go...

Yes, of course it worked. Actually the car turned out to be less than half the price considering the dollar/swissie exchange rate. Tesla Europe is a rip off. Why worry about the warranty if you can throw away the first car, buy a second one and still be cheaper off?

although i must admit "tax evasion" is a serious sounding term (hi to mr. geithner), this has absolutely nothing to do with tax evasion. tax evasion is efforts not to pay taxes by illegal means. then there's tax avoidance, which is completely legal. but that's another story. as a rule of...

thanks for the link, appreciated. i'm familiar with the content. I don't know everything about cars, but I'm a lawyer and I do know my taxes, trust me. the car will have US license plates for a year after the purchase and will be registered in the USA. Thanks for the hint NEWDL. the car...

You are absolutely right. The deal will be done in Denver.

you guys are right, i got the math wrong. $109'000 - $7500 tax rebate from obama - $5000 tax relief from the state of colorado no sales tax if you use a US car exporter who is willing to pass you on his sales tax refund if you use his company to ship the car. that's $96'500 for the...

Thanks guys. Your information was very helpful! According to your technical specs I made quite a few phonecalls yesterday and I finally found a garage in Switzerland who will do the homologation! They already did the homologation for half a dozen US Roadsters for the EU. Since they...

Guys Quite fascinating how emotional the posts are in this thread... which is telling me we are on to something here! :biggrin: Let me summarize: - Despite all the fairy tales floating around regarding compatibility and plugs, US Roadsters will charge in every country on this planet...

Dear Tesla Employee Thanks for registering at the forum. Unfortunately your statement is very false. As false as it gets, actually. :smile: You can have your Roadster warranty insured and they will take care of your Roadster without Tesla having to honor any warranty. As I mentioned...

The title of this thread says: help needed. If you can't help, why do you bother posting? :confused::confused::confused: There's better ways to get rid of your frustration than forum posts. Even in Ohio. Feel free to proof your frustration to the other board members by adding another comment...

Thanks for the support RGB. :smile: I think NEWDL (besides like sounding like the Tesla employee I was on the phone with) made some valid points regarding (outrageous?) effective costs involved which have to be considered as well. But there's a really straightforward solution to that: Hire a...

That's funny, because that's EXACTLY what VW and Porsche said a week before they had to wire €90mio to Brussels. These days they honor a 2 year guarantee worldwide for cars bought in the USA.

That's not the issue... Tesla HAS to grant me support by Europes anti-trust law. If they don't want to, they have to stop selling the Roadster in Europe. Of course talking friendly to the reps and trying to explain is always the best solution. I'm seeing a really naive behaviour here from...

will not happen! If the sell the same car in Europe as in the USA, they will have to grant you a 2 year warranty minimum. That's the law. VW and Daimler-Chrysler lost multimillion lawsuit trying to do avoid imports... So either Tesla will grant me my warranty or they will be paying...

I guess you just pay for the service since the US manufacturer warranty is not valid in Europe. But if you save $60'000 when you import the car, that's A LOT of services you can pay for. :cool:

hello LST could you please answer these question: who did the homologation for you? costs involved? I know that if crash test data of the Tesla Roadster is not available on safecar.gov, importing gets a little more difficult.

thanks for the quick reply. can you shed some more light on the charger? what do you exactly mean when you say it will work here (how, do I just plug it in or do I need to call an electrician?) but you're not sure if it's approved (approved by who?). I tried to call Tesla in the US and ask...

hi guys this is my first post :smile: i'm in the following situation: i have a very, very good offer from a friend in the USA for the Roadster. I have already imported cars from the USA and it's usually not that big of a problem (find a good shipper and insurance, pay for some...
