I'm finally ready to actually buy the P100D, so I'll sell this car to the first reasonable offer. Only change/update is the mileage, which is now 37,724 and counting as of this post. Edit: I can show the car any reasonable time in Menlo Park.

ValueAnalyst must be on a coffee break, but I'm sure that he/she will be here soon to accuse OP of shorting the stock and therefore, by implication, also accuse OP of being as unbelievably stupid as ValueAnalyst in believing that complaint posts here can tank the stock.

This person needs therapy and medication. I can't remember ever seeing such a sycophant or such a vehement, willfully blind, and irrational attacker/defender in any context -- and never before when it comes to a company and a car.

If this kind of compliant message from anyone -- sincere or insincere -- can "be detrimental to our investment in $TSLA, and the company in general," then that effectively qualifies as admission that (1) it's a terrible investment and (2) the analyst or investor is a terrible analyst or...

Unbelievably pathetic. I don't think you realize how much self-humiliation you've imposed on yourself with your "suspicions."

Condition update: New tires a few months ago. Tail light condensation repaired with new seals.

I didn't sell this car because I became persuaded that AP2 would take a long time to catch up with AP1, but I'm selling it now. Same condition as before, but now has 34k miles and price is now $65k or best offer. I don't have time for a lot of test drives, so please contact me only if you're...

AWD, I agree with you on this. And I think that Tesla knows it. I think that these new cars were marketed with "full self-driving capability" so as an extra incentive for people to keep buying cars during the "dead" period between a functional AP1 and a totally non-functional AP2. Anyway...

cloud -- you've highjacked the thread in the best possible way by brining back some good memories and a great coincidence. Really appreciate hearing it. I was actually supposed to pick my car up on September 28, but business obligations forced me to postpone until September 30. Your car looks...

Hi, Ben. No problem -- happy to talk. It's probably too late for me to text or call you now. I'll try to call you on Friday, but please private message me here on Friday if you've not heard from me by early afternoon on Friday. Thanks.

spentan, good catch -- thanks for the correction.

EVTECH -- great detective work on this. Really a great public service. It seems that this car has had two airbag-deploying accidents, has been driving as a commercial vehicle (which explains the crazy high mileage), has had at least 4 owners, and was just bought at a car auction six days ago...

theclound, thanks for responding. Very interesting -- I had no idea that my car is that rare. You're exactly right about the timing -- September 30, 2014 was my delivery date. And many people there that day picked up cars without auto-pilot, and some of us were lucky enough to (unexpectedly)...

Btran, thanks for your message. Kind of a funny story. I wouldn't sell for $60k, but feel free to check back in as time passes. Maybe one or both of us will move later on. Good luck with your search in any case, and congratulations on your new job.

$70k or best offer. See below for list of features and few issues. Picture is from delivery day, but I'll take and send current pictures for anyone seriously interested. Please respond only if you're seriously interested. Having said that, I'm in no great hurry to sell, so I don't mind if...

So, are you having this same problem right now? Is every Model S owner having this same problem right now? Thanks for your response.

My phone app has always worked ... Until tonight. Now, the circle keeps spinning with a message that says "Waking car" along with a recommendation that I check "Always Connected." I've never seen any of this before. It has always just given me the spinning circle for a few seconds and then...

Thanks, everyone, for the very helpful responses. And, TexasEV, I've never heard of any such cards and my 9/30/14 delivery didn't have any such card.

Assume you drive only 30-50 miles per day and that your objective is to minimize battery degradation and otherwise maximize battery life in general. In that case, is it better to charge every day for a short time period to recover each day's 30-50 miles? Or is it better to charge only once...

I've kept my two ICE cars, although I haven't really driven them since I received my P85. I'm planning to keep both ICE cars indefinitely, but only because there are certain places I wouldn't want to drive and park with my Tesla. I have zero range anxiety, so that doesn't get into the equation.

Here's my dark grey P85 with dark grey rims. Other grey cars are also in this thread. Personally, I strongly prefer dark grey exterior, dark grey rims, amd black interior. Tesla steel grey colour with grey 21`wheels - Page 4

Another metallic grey with 21" grey wheels Delivered today.

Today's deliveries at the factory I stopped at the factory store today to see if today's deliveries had the new safety features. I counted 20 cars waiting for delivery while I was there. Of the 20 cars, 19 of them had the exterior indications of the new safety features -- lower front-center...

Can you tell us more specifically about the "couple of very minor nits" so that the rest of us with imminent deliveries can look for them too? Thanks and congratulations.

Update -- I received a call and an e-mail message today confirming 9/28 delivery. MyTesla still says "late September" delivery and that the car "has entered the production queue." My DS said that my car has not yet gone into actual production as of this morning. I received the price sheet...

Excellent pictures -- thanks. The car looks great. I'll post more pictures after I take delivery next week.

Very similar to my situation. 8/23 P85 order with estimated November delivery. 9/5 confirmation with estimated November delivery at Fremont factory. Received 9/6 call saying my delivery would actually be between 9/27 and 9/30. Website has since read "late September" delivery. Website has...

Looks great. Any concern about California tinting laws? Or does that tint comply?

Off topic -- car looks great. Who did the window tint for you?

So far, given what I've seen (which admittedly is very limited), I think they look at least good enough for me. However, if they turn out to be not good enough, then I thought I'd just switch out the wheels. However, somebody here on TMC gave me a potentially much better idea -- powder coat...

Yes, I see it there. Well done. Thanks for the very useful information -- really appreciate it. - - - Updated - - - By the way, your car looks great. Is that the new metallic grey? I also ordered metallic grey with 21" grey turbines, so I'm curious about the powder coating you did to match...

That looks really great and very practical. Is your power outlet in the ceiling between the two garage doors?

My electrical sub-panel is on the right side of my garage, so it'll cost less to put the NEMA 14-50 power outlet on the right side -- as opposed to running cable across the ceiling to the garage's left side near the car's left-rear charge port. And the car's left-side charge port can always be...

Here's a link to some photos that I posted on another thread. I'm scheduled to receive mine At the end of this month. The first three photos in this link are photos that I took while driving down a California street. The fourth photos is one I found online. The last two photos are from the...

Looking back at the first two photos, I see what you mean by a "purple shine." But I didn't see any signs of a purpose shine in real life. I took the first three photos with my iPhone and I took the last two photos with my iPad, which has a much better camera than the iPhone. And, assuming...

Markus, No problem at all -- happy to provide additional information, especially since I was in exactly your position just a few weeks ago. I'll receive my car in about 10 days, and I'll post some more photos here for you to see. My my opinion is that most Teslas look better in person than...

Your timing is excellent. Like you, I couldn't decide on the new steel grey color (with 21" grey wheels), and I was very indecisive even after ordering. I ordered without seeing even the color on an actual car. Later, I saw the a full car in this color but with the lighter rims. I decided...

Very good points. The only possible exception -- retrofits are materially more expensive than adding the option in advance (which would include the unlikely possibility that the features are included in the technology package at no additional cost). Thanks for diminishing my delivery-timing...

Thanks. I spoke with a couple of different people and they both walked the party line in response to all questions on this topic -- "haven't heard anything about that; nothing has been announced; we can't comment on anything that hasn't been announced because we just don't know" But I...

Guys, help me out here. I confirmed my order on September 5 with an expected November delivery date, which was fine with me. On September 6, I was told my order date was moved up from November to late September. I was very ambivalent because I wanted these new features and thought that the...
