    #130 - Thunder Gray - Los Angeles, CA

    When I took my fully optioned, 19k mi Roadster Sport 1.5 to the Los Angeles Carmax, they offered $60k.

    Stuck in sleep mode

    Thank you everyone for your input. I'm up and running again. A Tesla Ranger came out and jumpstarted the battery as KenEE suggested. He replaced the 12V battery afterwards. After the jumpstart, he opened the driver's side door and its window went down on its own. The car had to be powered off...

    Stuck in sleep mode

    Just returned from a 12 day vacation in Amsterdam (spotted 2 Roadsters, Fusion Red and Electric Blue) to discover my Model S is stuck in sleep mode. The car doesn't respond to the key fobs or to door handle touches. The car was charging when I left for the airport. Tesla Roadside Assistance...

    Roadster at CarMax?

    We are canceling our Model S reservation. The original plan was to take advantage of the early lease termination program on the Roadster to buy the Model S. Can't justify the Model S either. We plan on keeping the wife's Infiniti since it's almost paid off. Going to start skateboarding to the...

    Roadster at CarMax?

    Has anyone ever sold their leased Tesla Roadster to Carmax? I have 1 year left on a lease. I recently went from a one way 1 hour 15 minute commute to a 5 minute commute. The lease payment doesn't seem justified considering I don't need carpool lane access anymore and I'm only adding about 200...

    Model S specs

    Now I'm regretting not taking advantage of the $10k discount for existing Roadster owners had I made a Sig reservation in 2010. It would have lowered the price for the Sig Performance down to $87.9k, a $4.95k savings vs the $92.85k Non-Sig Performance.

    I too bought in September but have yet to receive my HOV stickers, though I did get my ZEV parking decal just 2 weeks ago.

    VFX, thank you for the tip on the HOV sticker. My sales rep recommended laminating the sticker and propping it up on the rear window whenever needed but I do agree with strider on how they're a badge of honor. Mine is Sterling Silver with black and red interior. I've seen DrTaras multiple...

    Congrats strider! For the insurance I was assuming the cost would have been similar to my Porsche but found out it's in a different class. I was with Mercury but they charge 1% of the value of the car, not including liability, which is their policy for "exotics." I was quoted $1283 for 6...

    Depreciation

    Strider, my wife made the same point if I were to move from a Porsche to a Leaf ... she was easily sold on the Roadster. I took advantage of the "lease a Roadster until your Model S arrives" but also considered buying the car. If you were to buy, you would need to put down 20% but if you do...

    Fisker Karma

    I requested a deposit refund for the Fisker Karma on Sept 9th and still have yet to receive my check. Fisker emailed me today saying they are going to issue the check at the end of this week after my multiple emails to find out what the status of the check. Fisker's head of customer service...

    Price Negotiation

    The higher numbered VINs on the demo 2.0s had the newer seats found in the 2.5.

    Price Negotiation

    When I signed my lease last Wednesday, there were only 6 demo 2.0 Roadtsers left. The way my deal worked was Tesla discounted the entire Sport Upgrade ($19.5k), an additional $10k, plus $1 for every mile on the odometer ($4.5k), for a $34k total discount. The discount doesn't include the $5k...

    Price Negotiation

    Just signed a lease on a Demo 2010 2.0 Roadster which was heavily discounted from the MSRP. If you're looking to get into a Tesla and don't require the new features of the 2.5, this is the way to go. PM me for details.
