I have one coming too. PM me if you need one. Looks like $550 is the going rate. Early April it looks like-24 ' cord.

Did you paint the license plate holder or did it come like that ?

310 miles on a trip you do often ? I'd go for the free supercharging .....Doh !

I have SAS but wouldn't call it a "must have". Coils are fine if you won't bottom out in your normal course of driving. I do like them and appreciate the ride they offer but the coils are fine too. Better road feel IMO (for good or for bad)

Only experience has been with Van Nuys but they went above and beyond. Easy parking, pretty big facility, they were saying how crazy it might get with M3 so hopefully there's a contingency plan because that will get seriously crazy.

Man, all I got was this paper cup and the DS said I was lucky to get that. They did have some tea that I filled it up with that was pretty good. Once again....

@Daddie, are you ordering a Signature somehow ? saw one on that spreadsheet that's expecting an S this month but says "Signature" ..IS that even possible ? Still some holdouts?

I do have some smart friends suckered by those phishing emails....not sure if that counts but....

+1- Leadoff hitter hits a home run-discussion over

whole lotta RED going on there-congrats !

Wait, what about this ? DHCP used a previous owner's picture of the car he (may) now own ? really bizarre and crazy coincidence I might add

"BUELLER?"

I'd call an auto insurance company and climb(descend?) the chain of command to find out who they sell them to in your city. Auto dismantlers usually end up with them but you will pay a premium if you don't get it whole from the insurance co.

Didn't get either and doubt I'll regret it. Upgrade something else with $6K-especially if you're keeping for a long time. From what I hear you can get the "vegan" leather with PUP if you do decide to go that way. Probably even cloth. Overpriced showboat type options IMO. I'd LIKE the liftgate to...

I don't think they give you a "production date", you just one day chance upon those magic words "Your Tesla is currently in production" on your "My Tesla " page. Look at the google doc spreadsheet to guesstimate the time between VIN and production time if you are bored/anxious.

OK, never really followed that thread- bought TSLA. Thanks.

Why would a bus battery be able to charge faster than a car battery ? Apologies if this is obvious to some, I'm not much in the charging/battery chemistry department but I did figure that when Elon mentioned <15 minute charging he was talking in the next couple of years and was referring to...

I think you will be safe at the entry level M3 price($35K) for a long time. People who have considered the S out of their league and want unlimited free supercharging will be more than willing to pay this price I feel. Production and distribution of the M3 will be slow in these next couple of...

No change-feeling a little like Charlie Brown <iframe width="560" height="315" src="" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Wow. Sorry to hear @Stig.That's bad customer service. Maybe it will get rearranged for the positive (which I hear happens as well) in the coming weeks. Might indeed be a part that they are unsure of. It may be some "autoupdate" algorithm that the site uses. Mine has stated the same for a month...

Just saw the $750K for the interior choices...DAM*%& ! Hate that you can't edit your posts for very long on this forum :) Still waiting for my "Reasonable" 60D...over two months and not in production yet...Should have been unreasonable and maybe gotten it sooner !

My DS told me the same thing. So he told me not to be too optimistic on my late January/Early Feb estimated delivery date...may be as late as mid March as West Coast is typically.......LAST of each quarter. Then he said "or it could be on time". I'll expect some major swag if it's in March :)

You can put it in a ride share program when you're not using it and feel good it's not causing air pollution. Bam !

Looks great ! Nice wrap

Nothing barebones about "D" ...Gentlemen(or ladies), I'm guessing within 7 days we will have notification that our cars are in production. I plan on binging on some Netflix and watching a new president take office during that time. We are having some major rain here ( I got "D too !) so I'm...

What kind of paint imperfections did your car have ? Did they find them and point them out or did you ?

Gibson, you and I are truly in the same boat. I got info that end of January was likely but early February not out of the question, no Next gen seats, in "pre production" which apparently means the next batch to go into full on production. I was prepared for the wait from November till year end...

In "pre production" with the next group of cars is what I've been told now. No EXACT time frame from my DS but late January probably about right according to him. I too am surprised we weren't early January as I have read on the MX postings that some of them got 2017's in December. As you say...

I think that post acted as a mini for sale ad-you will get more for it privately but I would definitely sell it. No need for two. Maybe get high 30's/ low 40's for it, take the hit and move on...and on

Thank you, I have seen that. Just not sure what PRE production meant...once I get that "in production" notice looks like about two weeks...then you guys will be rid of me for a while as I drive all over the place !

Thank you. Just confirmed that with my DS. Looks like that's what I will end up with. I think I will be happy with it. Also told I was in "pre production"..anyone have a time frame for delivery once you are told that ? It is not indicated on "My Tesla " page, just a verbal from DS. I think the...

So now, without the premium package, they have little non functional vents or you can get solid ?

Looks like they are all gone ? Should be able to get the car you ordered no ? They had ample notice to save me a set. My body type likes the Next Gen.. Do premium come non ventilated ?

So I guess that if you ordered in December but checked "early as possible" delivery. You get done sooner than November deliveries that wanted 2017 MY cars....oh well. I can buy something else and lose the $2500 I guess. Really need the car in January

Not sure they get built in order-I see inventory cars with higher VINs than mine offered for sale

Yeah, I just asked to keep one for day to check out the seats as suggested above....not gonna happen. The only Premium seats I saw had ventilated fronts which I don't really prefer. The next gen were there in their unaltered, non perforated state....mmmmm

Again my DS confirmed that the "rule of thumb" for production was: Overseas cars get produced early in each quarter followed by domestic east coast and lastly west coast. I believe I had read that here as well.

I think we want to know about what broke during your ownership (any flat tires to deal with?) and how Tesla handled it. Any disappointments with any aspect and how you would change things (hood sounds like a start-I had no idea!) . Were any promises made by marketing that you felt let down by ?

My VIN is way higher 176, xxx which is strange.....I prompted the seat discussion so the Tesla DS guy asked for me. As far as I know, production is no where near starting. I appreciate the commiseration though. It looks like people are voting to go with the premium seats they offered me so I may...

But it would be a 2016 and I would have to get credit like you, next year...Oh well...what's another month ? I'd rather get exactly what I ordered but man, keep refreshing and hoping. Now I'm hoping they don't push it back even further ! It's getting into Model 3 and SC V3 range....Overthinking...

$500 more than Next Gen ?

137,500 That would be 75000 S 61000 X 1500 M3 Remember, I was the one that nailed the Model X launch day (never got my bottle of wine BTW) so investors take note now.

You only get the holes if you want ventilated. Too much Cheeto dust gets in there so opted to stay with Stone Age methods of heating and cooling the cabin and my body-like through the steering wheel. In any case, can I INSIST on Next Gen or should I settle for premium and a couple of jackets for...

Darn ! Are premium better than next gen ? I need to go for spirited ride in premium honestly ,,I just know I liked the next gen and didn't like them changing on me. It seem like Tesla took the Recaro mold and made the side bolsters a little smaller but in terms of the cushioning, hard to say.

So I ordered with next gen seats but got this email today from DS: "I reached out to my order operations team and they confirmed with me that your Tesla will be built with the new Premium Seats. There will be no additional charge for these seats. I was also informed that if you'd prefer the...

I can also say that my Vin is in the 176,XXX range..yours? Really pissing me off because I'm driving a 12 y/o car and I want to take the family on a winter road trip before school starts on 1/9...HELP !

I was going to say something, the other spelling meant something COMPLETELY different

Maybe they do go through Aliiant, not sure. That was just the rate I saw on their site

You can get the same 1.99/60 months through Tesla

Can I ask when you ordered it ? I'm going crazy with my status remaining at January/Early February since November. I confirmed on 11/6 but asked for a 2017.
