    Cash or Loan

    Agreed with what others have said; loan rates are so low that investing the cash instead will be better in the long-term. I had the cash on-hand to buy my Model S outright, but decided to take out a partial loan instead and invest the rest. So far it's paying off wonderfully.

    2016 Model S Refresh Mega-thread

    As someone who ordered an S during a refresh last year, I can speak from experience on this. Basically they DO run two versions of the configurator; maintaining both until everyone is out of the old system. You can speak with your rep at Tesla and ask them to switch you over to the "new"...

    Bluetooth issues Model S and iOS 8.4

    Is your watch a Pebble, by any chance? Mine does the same thing, but if I disconnect my watch the car's BT connection works fine.

    90 minute software update?

    I got the same notification. I'm guessing it's 2.4.249 getting pushed to the rest of us (I've had my car almost a month now). Man. Software updates for a car. We're in the future.

    It looks like I have LTE enabled

    Okay, I took delivery today of my S85D and it does have LTE enabled. I don't have anything earlier to compare it to but it managed to have coverage on the underground floor of my office's parking garage. My phone didn't even have service there.

    Tracking Model S 85D Delivery Thread

    I got mine today!! Ordered mine on April 4th (though I asked for June delivery), everything ran very smoothly start-to-finish.

    I'm getting my 85D on Tuesday; fingers crossed for LTE!

    Days In Production / Paint color / Accessories / options

    Yeah, I'd recommend going through this as well. Set up a temporary filter and compare yours to other similar setups to see what the average times are for your options. You can always email your delivery specialist too if you're worried.

    Tracking Model S 85D Delivery Thread

    Mine went into production today! Ordered a June delivery, got my VIN on Apr 20th, so it looks like it's right on track for delivery in the next few weeks. Can't wait!!

    I got my VIN!

    Spoke to my Specialist on Friday, and got my VIN this morning! Delivery is still Late June (requested June delivery), so everything seems to be on track.

    Am I wrong? Tech package now $7,500?

    This part, at least, is not true. If you're still within your week after ordering you can make changes without any cost (I confirmed this with my dealer today). They do warn you that if you choose to switch your order to the "new" options (including the new colors), you will lose all of the old...

    Yes, I'm still in the window. I have until Saturday to change anything.

    P85D price drops by $5k after latest package updates...

    The new ones don't have fog/cornering lights, lighted door handles, and power liftgate as part of the tech package; they're now part of the premium package (for $5000), so if you had the tech package then you'd be losing out on those features now unless you bump up the price. I'm still trying...

    4/8/2015 Design Studio Changes

    Thanks! Spoke to my specialist and he says I am grandfathered in on old pricing currently. They can switch my personal design studio over to the new setup if I want, but I won't be able to go back to the old options once they do it. Gonna need to take a closer look and see what I'd be...

    4/8/2015 Design Studio Changes

    Since I'm within my week time-frame before my order's locked in, I'm really confused about this. Redesigning my car shows me the old options, but I think (I need to play around some more) that the new options make my config a couple thousand dollars cheaper. Do I need to cancel and re-order to...

    First Time Experiences Driving a P85D

    I test drove the P85D a few weeks ago, and I remember my immediate reaction when trying out Insane Mode was a flashback to the Rock n' Roller Coaster at Disney World. (Acceleration for the ride is 0 to 57 mph in 2.8 seconds, according to Wikipedia.) So when I get my car in a few months, I'm...
