I've heard both of these at the SC too.

So if I just buy the thing outright (not tied to any sort of renewable commitment, funding, or quota), could I buy power at night and then use it for my peak usage? It seems this would make the thing cost effective within 5-6 years for me. If not, I guess I could just put some huge LED...

I'm in the same boat as you. I can't seem to make heads or tails of this and it kinda feels like I'm in a black Friday line for "something". I just reserved 2 powerwalls last week and have no clue what to expect but am getting the feeling that Elon will have retired on Mars by the time I get...

Does it do make the alarm sounds when in park hold mode? Press your food on the brake pedal and then once stopped press harder and the car will be in D but in brake "hold" mode. See if that helps.

Just got an X75D and the range is great. We took it from San Jose to LA and stopped once to charge. Usually we do multiple stops with my 2012 P85 but wanted to see what the smaller battery could do. We got in with 17% to spare. I'm very happy with the 75 battery and acceleration is not too...

It's interesting I was worried about this at first but my credit union is financing both of my Tesla's and it never even came up during the application process. I've always been with credit unions so that could be it too. Good luck and thank you for being a resource for people getting into new...

Well I couldn't imagine doing my job with a bunch of people bugging me about status updates all the time. I'm guessing they will have some smoking deal for you if they can't deliver your car by a few days before year end.

Totally agree, but it's nice to hear that they made you that offer versus just saying nothing and leaving the tow hitch off (as it seems they have done for so many). So that is a plus for the transparency side. I have been holding out for a delay and them having to put me in a P100D for the...

Wow interesting story. Strange that they reached out to you about the tow hitch. I guess that is proving to be an issue for them as many have reported that the tow hitch is missing when they do the delivery inspection. It seems to have been happening quite a bit since August. Here is my...

Has anyone picked up their car from the new Fremont Delivery Center? This is the one on Fremont Avenue on the opposite side of the Freeway. DS told me that they are just opening now and that is where we are picking up our new X.

So just to clarify, when did you charge to 100% on this trip? If you did it before you parked to go on your cruise then you need to account for the daily loss. Not to mention your air temp gauge indicates a temp of 45 degrees and 376wh/mi is kinda high. These things all come in to play even...

Ours was ordered on 10/21 and I'm right here in Silicon Valley and my delivery date is 12/24. Weird... but worth waiting for! :)

I think they do it in sprints. For where we came in then the 100D sprint happened first. I would assume they stack the 100D sprints strategically for Q4 end. I seem to be the tail end of all of them... better luck next time I guess...

I think we are in the same production run: 75D White/white, 7 seater, EAP, No PUP Ordered 10/21 Confirmed 10/24 VIN 76720 Also in San Jose Mine says order received and scheduled for production in our factory...DS said likely delivery is 12/24

I think CA 75Ds Oct-Nov orders are probably going to start prod week after next. Fingers crossed for next week...

BTX5 for me 75D ordered 10/21 confirmed 10/24 VIN 11/01 Est Delivery 12/24 Fremont delivery

Sounds like it happened for everyone. The news on the street is that it's also the first day of public configuration for the Model 3. So they just probably did some house cleaning on the whole system. I don't think anything has changed from our perspective. I think it's likely that if you...

Well I just don't know how well I would trust it. Without rear facing laser sensors I just don't think it's safe in all situations. You will have to use it, and put your life in its motor-hands. From what I've seen of EAP, I'm not ready to take that bet.

Well the problem is that we just never know when the information we get is inaccurate. When we are relying on courtesy updates we can't expect them to be vetted and confirmed. The way I see it they told me when the car would be done and from now until then it's fun to see how it comes together...

Well VIN 75749 is a new inventory car (Inventory | Tesla) so it seems they are close to starting the 76xxx set. Of course we assume they just build the cars sequentially... :)

I was in the same boat. I really liked the idea of the walk-through aisle. Not to mention the 7 seater looks claustrophobic for folks in the back row. I decided on the 7 seater because I would prefer to have the trunk space for long trips but may need to haul more people on short distances...

From the articles I have read this week it seems that the EV tax credit was rolled back into the tax overhaul (latest iteration at least). In the event that it is battled over I think it is unlikely for everything to get pushed through to a vote in the next 10 days (needed in order for it to...

Haha my 2012 has huge gaps between the body panels and the interior has plenty of things that don't line up. Still love that car!

Wow my stomach is turning thinking about this. I'm having a hard time planning for a 2 month delivery. I don't know if I could even do 3. You are a very committed customer.

Wow kinda scary to think that they scrap the whole car? I wonder how this works. Good to know that they are really stressing the quality though...

For the outside of the Bay Area folks, are you allowed to fly out here and have delivery at the factory and then drive it home?

Are you locked into delivery of that specific car? Can you find another inventory car that is falls in the planned budget range? I know that Tesla usually aims for conservative estimates so that you can be surprised on final paperwork (in a good way). We had a catastrophic EAP fail on the...

We ordered and confirmed on the same day but my VIN is 767**. Weird. Looks like we'll both have a white X mas...

We did not get it on our new X. OA showed us that even without the package the door opens when you lightly press on the handle. TBH I would prefer if the Falcon doors were manual. I think it's just something else to go wrong. I'm with you the sound was the only thing that I would have been...

2012 P85 with 59,500 miles. Charged to 100% and had 254 miles. It was 262 new so I'm pretty happy with losing 8 miles in 5 years.

Just got off the phone with the DS. Delivery around 12/24 Ordered 10/21 Confirmed 10/25 VIN 11/02 Prod 12/15 Delivery about 12/24 Looks like there will be a Pearl White "X"mas this year...

Ugh a month of travel time. How does that work; can you fly out here and drive it home?

Always dicey... as you are local I would say you have the best chance of pulling it off. They will certainly be inclined to get you in a car by Dec 31. May not be the car you ordered but if anyone has a good shot it's probably someone in the Bay Area. If I were to speculate I would say 75%...

There used to be a place in the SF Valley that did consignment for high end sports cars (off Valley Circle), but I think they changed ownership a few times since I was there. That's probably not your normal trade-in car. :) btw I'm originally from Newbury Park so it's good to see Ventura...

Got the VIN last night 76720. Hoping for early Dec!

I always thought this was cool on the Porsches. Asked the OA about two weeks ago and he said it was removed as a feature. I was a little bummed but it's not a deal breaker.

Not sure if all heard but on today's earnings call they stated that there would be a 10% reduction on the production of new S and X cars as they spun up production of the 3. I'm not sure what this will mean for us waiting for delivery but they did mention the reduction would be effective this...

I wonder how different the EU spec cars are versus North America. Part of me thinks they are 95% similar and they can allocate more cars going to Norway. However there would come a time in November that they know they could not get them over there in enough time and would focus on fulfilling...

Yep, spent the weekend clearing out space. My poor P85 has to go out in the cold now... :( I've got a pretty good electrician but he's down here in SJ. Actually it looks like we ordered on the same day but confirmed 1 day later; strange. Still no VIN for me :(

I think you made the right choice; or the right choice was made for you. In reality paying that money for 1 second is pretty hard to swallow (unless money is not a thing for you). Btw you never know when you may come across a new inventory P that they are willing to make you a deal on (before...

As a rule I always get an extra 25-40 miles past when the car tells you that you have enough to continue. You just never know when a SC is going to be full or a nasty headwind will sneak up or anything. I've also noticed that if you "charge often, for shorter time periods" it seems to reduce...

Wow we got almost the same configuration (I didn't get the wheels but just about everything else is the same) and ordered just 1 day ahead of you. Maybe we'll be delivery buddies (hopefully in Nov/Dec). Mine sez the same btw. waiting...

Well, mine has definitely done this after I open the door. Seems to have forgotten a few times and I know I've set it up at least twice. So not really conclusive for you; it has done it and it has also not done it.... technology...

I saw a few mention discounts for inventory cars. Wondering if these are more premium cars that people are getting for the lower price of the car they built or are they getting discounts for things like colors? We ordered a X75D but are they likely to offer us a X100D in a different color for...

Gigafactory 2.0 is operational, but it's on Mars...

Definitely do 80A/100A. The best reasons I can think of are: 1) Getting home late from a long drive and still needing to go to work the next day. This happened to me as I got in from LA at 4am one night and needed to go to work the next day at 7 (I know, not ideal but it did happen). Every...

I have a P85 and have driven the P85+ as a loaner. It certainly felt more solid and WOW those 21" wheels looked amazing! That said I don't think I'd spend $10k for the upgrade. $4k yes. But $10k is a lot of money for a CPO. If I had to do it again I'd go with AWD and forego the Performance...

Dual motors will give you a real world advantage on traction no matter what (it'll just feel faster). I can't imagine they would give you a 2.8 second car for anywhere close to $50k. My expectation is that for $42k you'd get a dual motor car that will do about 5.5 seconds. Ludicrous upgrade...

Very happy with the pano roof. I use it all the time as soon as the weather gets above 70F. No leaks on mine (and it's a 2012). Very great for kids in the back as no one complains about not getting a window seat. If I had to buy another one it would be a no-brainer.
