    Tesla Referral Program

    New prizes are cool, but one of the benefits of 15+ referrals has me a little concerned: Those who make 15 qualifying referrals will receive exclusive priority access and benefits lasting until December 31, 2018, including: VIP Concierge - 24/7 access via phone for assistance with all...

    Improving Supercharger Availability $0.40 idle fee

    Understood. But in this example, I've got to walk ten minutes to a restaurant, then walk back to the car mid-meal when the charging is finished. I'd be 100% on board with this if there were other vehicles waiting (or if even *some* of the stalls were occupiedand and I'd run the risk of...

    Improving Supercharger Availability $0.40 idle fee

    I agree with this policy for congested superchargers in SoCal, but it should correlate to demand in a particular area. For example, I've used the Tridelphia WV supercharger a number of times and never seen another Tesla vehicle. It's located in the parking lot of a hotel, up a hill from a...

    Snagged a P90D Inventory car for $700/mnth on the new 24 month lease

    Really happy you got in on the deal. Blue paint with those dark rims looks great. Maybe I'll see you at the Columbus service center... I'll hopefully be picking my inventory P90D up there some time next week as well. And hats off to Socal Jimmy for bringing this to the forefront. I got the car...

    Snagged a P90D Inventory car for $700/mnth on the new 24 month lease

    @Footer : Happy to help... Looks like there's at least one more sub-$900 P90DL posted (Model S P90D 5YJSA1E45GF136482 | Tesla) I would ask that if you do snag one of the cars I've linked to you use SoCal Jimmy's referral code. In the haste to reserve the car I found thanks to this thread I...

    Snagged a P90D Inventory car for $700/mnth on the new 24 month lease

    The suggested inventory car feature has returned to the design studio. I found a couple pre-facelift P90DL's: Model S P90D 5YJSA1V44FF100488 | Tesla Model S P90D 5YJSA1E47GF128237 | Tesla Model S P90D 5YJSA1E43GF136481 | Tesla One of them has a hefty $36k discount, but it's also got 21,000...

    Snagged a P90D Inventory car for $700/mnth on the new 24 month lease

    I traded in my S85D for a fully loaded (save for the rear-facing seats) facelift P90DL with a $24,400 discount. Except for the dash inlay, everything was exactly as I ordered in my S85D so I'm exceedingly happy and looking forward to taking delivery next week. I thought I found a great deal...

    Tesla will match Carmax price

    CarMax beat Tesla's offer on my S85D by a just a shade over $10,000. Tesla matched. I'm glad they did, but disappointed that they gave me such a low ball offer in the first place. I couldn't possibly love the cars any more, but it feels more and more like they're turning into just another...

    Suspension Problem on Model S

    Let's put aside the credibility of the OP, the condition of the road, the frequency of mushroom hunting and the service history of the vehicle for a moment. If this problem was widespread and common we'd have any number of posts here detailing it. Given the history of arguably trivial...

    How's your line?

    No line at the Columbus, Ohio store when I arrived at 2:30pm ET. In and out in about five minutes. Rep said things were crazy from opening until about 12:30.

    Disappointed with range estimate in first long term drive

    I frequently travel between Columbus and Cincinnati, and have had similar experiences with range uncertainty. I agree with the OP - traveling at the posted 70mph on parts of I-71 is impractical... traffic flows more like 80mph in some of the more rural areas. On the topic of pre-heating, on...

    Firmware 7.0

    I fly a Cirrus SR22 and I could not agree more. Feeling the steering wheel movement with auto steer engaged is very reminiscent of yolk / stick servo movement under airplane autopilot command.

    Firmware 7.0

    Installed the update early this morning (eastern time) and used it for my commute which is a mix of surface streets and interstate. I'm impressed overall, but did have to take over steering a couple times, notably when the car seemed to pull towards a highway exit lane opening and I wanted to...
