    Upgrading Wheels... requires alignment/balancing??

    Tires were mounted on the rims, so I'm assuming they have been balanced then. Thanks !!! This helped a lot

    Upgrading Wheels... requires alignment/balancing??

    How do I know if the new arachnids I just purchased have been balanced? Do they come balanced or is this something I need to do as part of the install?

    Upgrading Wheels... requires alignment/balancing??

    Tires/wheels are brand new - so I'm guessing no balancing or alignment required then?

    Upgrading Wheels... requires alignment/balancing??

    I've heard mixed things from tesla's very own service centers. I'm upgrading to Arachnids from stock 19's and one service center tech said that I would want to do a full alignment and balancing otherwise my steering would be "way off" after installation. Another tech said that since my car is...

    Loaded 85D or skinny P85D?

    Ok, another one of these threads! I am 29, do not have any debt. No house/condo - but I have savings and investments. I was going to purchase the 85D, but now that you can strip down the P85D to within $15k or so of the other model (19 inch wheels, no air suspension, etc) - I'm having...

    The Great Debate: Loaded 85D vs P85

    What do you mean? What does a 90's towncar feel like? Bouncy?

    The Great Debate: Loaded 85D vs P85

    The Great Debate: Loaded 85D vs P85

    Where's the best place to look to buy a secondary P85 or P85+? I'd want one with autopilot which severely reduces the amount of choices.

    Salespeople Misinformed About My Inventory Model S Purchase

    I made a profit after netting out the federal tax subsidy. Definitely not intentional, but a great ending after tesla didn't want to buy back at a net $0 loss/gain. Tesla put in an adjusted trade in offer that would have made me net out to thousands in loss. So the difference between the...

    The Great Debate: Loaded 85D vs P85

    I enjoy snowboarding, but the mountains I go to (typically) are far from treacherous. So Awd is in the "nice to have" category for me.

    The Great Debate: Loaded 85D vs P85

    So as I am moving towards my new Model S after the inventory debacle - I noticed that the 85D I was equipping was the same price as a P85 without some of the "nice to have" extras. By removing the following from the 85D (on my 85P config), I was able to get both builds for roughly 100k flat: *...

    Salespeople Misinformed About My Inventory Model S Purchase

    I accept this. It's the risk we all take. I just couldn't stomach buying a car with old tech after the new autopilot tech was rolling out. I took the lane assist demo car for a test drive today - it kind of reaffirmed my belief that a lot of demo cars were released right before the...

    Salespeople Misinformed About My Inventory Model S Purchase

    So I ended up selling the car for profit back to a local dealership (they paid $8k more than Tesla's trade in offer). I've preordered the 85D. I'm a little disappointed that Tesla didn't do more to assist the situation, but sometimes you just have to find a solution yourself.

    S85 now or S85 later?

    Incorrect - you still get the $7,500 tax credit with a loaner vehicle.

    Salespeople Misinformed About My Inventory Model S Purchase

    Thank you. That is exactly why I'm upset. I bought an outdated product that was being sold as new.

    Salespeople Misinformed About My Inventory Model S Purchase

    Chris.... I'm upset that I was told I was getting every feature on the current fleet, and the current fleet had just been updated with autopilot hardware. This was an unintentional lie to me in the days before purchasing on 9/26. Yes my vehicle has an ionizer (to the other questions).

    Salespeople Misinformed About My Inventory Model S Purchase

    Quick Update: As expected the trade-in option came in for less than I paid. Currently the Tesla Service Center Manager is going to be attending an offsite about a potential retrofit effort (cost, logistics, possibility) and is supposed to present my case to his piers this weekend. He said he...

    Salespeople Misinformed About My Inventory Model S Purchase

    I'm just catching up on this thread and WOW! lots of feedback. To clear the record... I love my salesperson, I just think that they should have been INFORMED of what the company was actually doing. I've escalated to Tesla and I'm also considering selling the model on the standard market in...

    Salespeople Misinformed About My Inventory Model S Purchase

    On 9/24 I finalized a purchase on an inventory Model S 85kw. On 9/26, I picked up the car. Multiple salespeople assured me it was the current model. Now with the announcement of autopilot, it has become apparant that deliveries made after 9/19 included the new hardware. While it's more than...
