    Paydirt's (TSLA) Option Investing Guide

    I had a great experience with the OP. He helped me accelerate my TSLA gains by a ton. Super grateful that I encountered him. He asked for nothing in return. That moment passed for now, though. Way less opportunity for outsized gains.

    Is Model 3 a good first car?

    After waiting in line for our 3 reservations (2+1 to be technical) we finally ordered 3 Model 3s for our triplets turning 16. it was a VERY tough decision for all of the reasons mentioned. Plus the friggin cost. ugh. Yet, I have good kids, respectful, kind and responsible. The new acceleration...

    I am NOT impressed with the submissions so far (a couple prior to the contest were amazing). Anyone want to collaborate? I have ideas, but zero ability to execute

    Musk had enough of the Falcon Wing Doors yet?

    I love my doors. They operate nearly perfectly. They open as fast as a mini van. What's not to like? I'm not seeing that, at all.

    "Daddy, it's like we're famous!"

    My Xperience is very similar to OP's. Love my car. Tint is great (and I was very concerned about too much sun). I have P and premium. I highly doubt many would miss either of these for $24k (that is a lot of dough). Sure, it's fun to launch every so often but a huge expense. The presenting...

    What will you name your Model X?

    Well, after much thought I chose "Quicksilver" for my silver X. Then, it felt too generic (as much as I liked the fast, liquid reference etc.). This was prior to delivery. Then, after delivery it became apparent that a better term would be "My Precious", for obvious reasons. After feeling a tad...

    Who loves their Model X? Consumer Reports this thread is for you!

    i want to post here. Loud and proud. I am freaking enjoying my Model X more than I could have ever imagined. AND, I waited 3.5 years. I often think... Dang, I wish (daily) I could write Elon and thank him (and team) for building the absolute perfect car for me. Hearing blah blah blah about CR...

    For Sale 2012 P85 37k miles. Stunning Charcoal Paint Charcoal 21" wheels. Like new. $68,995

    I received $56,500 as a cash purchase. I did not trade anything in. Seems more than most were thinking possible. I have to say, this thread caused me to accept the deal fairly quckly. And perhaps wisely.

    For Sale 2012 P85 37k miles. Stunning Charcoal Paint Charcoal 21" wheels. Like new. $68,995

    I'd take a minimum of $64,000. I was offered by Audi Palo Alto $55,000. So, if an Audi dealer offered me 55k, 64k private should be possible. I appreciate all the input above. Thanks! The thing is for me, is that, I just still really love the car, and don't "have" to sell it. If I don't get a...

    Random Model X sightings

    @pvogel I took this shot on my way home from delivery. I decided to take Highway 9 through the redwoods and a few cars in front of me was another X. Best view I have had of one, actually (of 3 I have seen in the wild... 2 on HWY 17 other direction and 1 in Palo Alto in other direction). So, I...

    Surprises after taking delivery of you X, mine was the Snowcone windshield

    I read the forums with great enthusiasm. I felt I knew much of what there is to know on the X prior to my delivery yesterday (other than the sheer elation I'd experience upon seeing my beast, and config, for the first time, THAT was a surprise, in the best possible way, just unreal). SO, my...

    You know you're obsessed with Tesla when...

    When you think it's gonna be 80k (for 3.5 years), and you have to pony up over 20k additional to get it a matter months before a 90D... final price 151K (tax etc). And you STILL can't sleep at night due to excitement. Spellbound! 90D's shipping now? Oh well, I get a faster car......whatever...

    Model X Financing questions

    Ahhhh... anyone with a finance background able to advise? I have options and am taking delivery in a week-3. If I have 25K to put down my options are: Lease (with less down). Concern is that I will have a higher residual ($7500 added to residual) due to tax credits IF I want to keep longer (I...

    Highest Production VIN delivered

    I would love it if those who have received their vehicles could give a quick reply to this thread with their VIN sequence. I'd find that just about the most interesting thing on the forum. A celery pic would be fun, as well!!!

    Safety Deal Breaker after Model X Test Drive

    am I missing something, or isn't the world FULL of things toddlers needs to avoid... Door jambs(!), HOT!, cliffs etc. FWD's seem the least of a toddlers potential downfalls. At least FWD's have sensors to prevent most of what ANY OTHER MANUFACTURER cannot. Just because it's new tech to us, it's...

    Starting to deliver Production P90D

    So, saw the change to the mytesla page. Was very excited from all the news on the forum, and also the info on mytesla. Talked to my DS and she said that there was a glitch with a lot of accounts announcing delivery dates/ ranges that were inaccurate. She then told me that my X is in early...

    Model X Design: Ugly or Sexy? Prius?!

    In photos it seems the angle is very important. The smaller wheels don't pop for me. Kind of amazing to have 22's on a production vehicle. That's huge! I think the back (in photos) can look quite "squatty" (especially with the smaller wheels). In person, I have no complaints. One of the main...

    Production (Non-Sig) Model X Vin #'s now being issued

    I don't know what to think. I reserved mid 2012 (14xx sequence #), confirmed 12/1. VIN 12/23 (4xx). My DS (who has never reached out to me, I found her) has only been able to say "early 2016", on several occasions. I ordered premium and am taking delivery at the factory. Who knows what is going...

    Production (Non-Sig) Model X Vin #'s now being issued

    Thats what I'm saying!!!! I am picking up at the factory, as well. Maybe I'll be one of those... "Your car is ready, come get it!". It seems based on the numbers you quoted, that I should be built by end of January. So hard to extrapolate here. Like reading tea leaves. We think we know, we try...

    Production (Non-Sig) Model X Vin #'s now being issued

    When I saw this post I called my DS. I confirmed earlier, have a lower sequence number and have a similar VIN. She told me, that they have to finish the sigs first and then mine will enter production. She will probably have more info in a few weeks. On the one hand, UGH. On the other... work out...

    Secrecy of VIN and RN #'s

    Hi all.... I was wondering.... Is there a reason we all xx the last couple of our RN or VIN? I started posting with actual RN and then, after many examples, started being more discreet. Is there really any possible consequences for being accurate with these numbers? I always feel a pull to post...

    Production Model X Deliveries

    I am Res 14xx and VIN 4xx. I reserved 7/15/12, confirmed 12/1, VIN 12/23 (but who's counting, really!?!?! Lol). I am hoping with 1000+ a month starting late December, and there being less than 1000 Sigs ordered/ built/ VIN (anyway), that it would be sooner than later. March seems SO far!! (I...

    Certainly glitchy, yet expected, I suppose! I am happy that you, and others have tried different patches to make things work until your next SC visit. As a prod 4xx VIN, I have mixed feelings. I know I am way at the beginning... and I know that I am WAY AT THE BEGINNING!!!!! It's a mixed bag...
