    Running with No Front Plate?

    Federal preemption is a complex area of the law, but unless an entire field of the law is taken over by Federal law (as people used to think was the case with immigration law until the controversial Arizona laws were litigated), the general rule is that Federal law only trumps state law to the...

    Running with No Front Plate?

    Just got a ticket for having no front license plate on my Model S this morning. I was cruising on the 405 North HOV lane (with stickers) near Irvine minding my own business when CHP Motorcycle cop pulled me over, commented on my tinted windows, walked to the front of the car to comment on my...

    Creating a warning label not to slam the frunk?

    That would make sense too. DS and I didn't really get into it..

    Creating a warning label not to slam the frunk?

    When I took delivery of the car, the DS was very specific about not slamming it. He explained that it was somewhat more fragile than most other "hoods" because it is made out of aluminum and thus is more pliable. Not sure whether it would bend, get dented, or what, but I'm not taking any...

    Creating a warning label not to slam the frunk?

    So as I picked up the car from the valet yesterday, I noticed that the valet accidentally opened the frunk with the FOB - an understandable error. However, I saw him opening it up and getting ready to slam it down, at which point I had to scream "STOP," ran over, and told him that it should be...

    Tinting FRONT windshield?

    I don't think the math would work out, but now I can tell my wife that it will pay for itself :tongue:

    Tinting FRONT windshield?

    Has anyone had any experience tinting the front windshield on their MS? I'm scheduled to get it done along with the other windows and figured that it would be a good way to reduce heat and enhance the look. The front windshield will be 3M Crystalline in a very light shade such that most people...

    First 60kWH delivery notice or email - who will it be?

    So I called and they informed me that I would be getting a VIN next week and that my DS would be a lady called Laura. So I'll patiently wait (and will NOT shoot myself after all). I also asked them to check the contact information that they had on file for me and I'm glad that I did, as they...

    First 60kWH delivery notice or email - who will it be?

    You lucky dog Ceilidh! Can't wait for your report. I've sent e-mails to the delivery@... address twice now but they never responded to me.

    First 60kWH delivery notice or email - who will it be?

    I would also ask: is the call from a local dealer or a local number, or is it from the Fremont area based on the area code? I get a lot of unwanted calls from all kinds of numbers, and I may just have to begin responding to them just in case it's TMC :(

    First 60kWH delivery notice or email - who will it be?

    That's so encouraging! I just sent my PenFed loan application yesterday.

    First 60kWH delivery notice or email - who will it be?

    I think that Ceilidh's earlier post about what TMC represented is the most instructive: "It takes about 10 days for a car to be built form start to finish at this point in time. As a result, VINs are being assigned about 10 or so days before the car is due to be completed. No reason to worry...

    First 60kWH delivery notice or email - who will it be?

    I hope it isn't true, I'll shoot myself. Or are we not properly reading the posts? If you're indicating that production is delayed, please state your source.

    Model S demand

    I've been a Model S reservation holder for two months now, and got several emails offering me to test drive the Roadster here in Orange County, California. I intend to bring my wife along and take them up on that offer. I loved hearing from your posts that the test drive experience was so...
