    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Really funny. Still has round steering wheel.....But the plate looks good!!
  2. johnc11050

    Thoughts on buying a new Model S today

    Can we just refuse delivery when the car arrives? What if the steering wheel is just nuts?

    Advise...20 Model S Performance vs new 21 model S

    yes, same here. Buy technology, new rather than old. Go with the Long Range for $80k US.

    New 2021 Model S Unveiled January 27, 2021

    Agree with the steering wheel. Why? If they cannot make/ship it, it must be a commercial play to get people to buy nonsense. Not the first time for Tesla.

    New Model S second row changes [Update: Tesla incorrectly showed Model X renders on Model S page)

    Looks good. But why can we not get carbon fiber instead of wood on the long range model? I do not want to spend $40k more for the plaid, just that I like carbon fiber like I had on my 2018 S Performance

    Speculation on Model S/X Pricing Strategy

    Do not know about the wisdom of Tesla closing most/all of its showrooms/sales centers at this time. At one time, Tesla was the only game in town so if you wanted a luxury EV (not counting there Volt/Bolt, Leaf) you went to Tesla. Now, however, with big-time players getting into the game, like...

    Just ordered Model S P100D from new Inventory

    Thanks for your response. Seems that you got a new new vehicle with only 50 miles (about the minimum new cars come with). And it appears that you got a decent price adjustment of $6500. My car (if I ever get it) has 500 miles so the price adjustment was more. Hey, we both got some awesome...

    Just ordered Model S P100D from new Inventory

    If I may ask, how many miles were on the inventory car when you bought? I think I saw this one in Mass. before I bought mine which was in. CT (Red, not blue). Also, about how much was the 'inventory adjustment' and did you ask to remove the 21 inch rims if you did not want them? I had them...

    Just ordered Model S P100D from new Inventory

    I hope that your experience is better than mine so far. I, too, ordered a 'new' (500 miles) P100 D that was in Greenwich, CT (not far from NY) about 3 week's ago. The so-called inside delivery team member set up a delivery date of Tuesday before Thanksgiving. But so far the car is still in...

    Model X difference between AP1.0 vs AP2.0

    Great video. Thanks for the time you took for taking and posting it. I, too, believe that quality factors need to be improved. Why spend $100k plus and get a lesser quality?

    General chit-chat in "For Sale" threads

    looking for 2017 P100d 5 seat configuration. would pay up to $120k for excellent condition.

    X: What's your 90%?

    Thanks. Yes, it is about 330 or so. Wow, so a/c is the demon. Guess I will have to 'sweat' in the future or stay home!

    X: What's your 90%?

    Took a 'short' trip to NJ this weekend where traffic was horrific. Went 160 miles r/t took 6 hours r/t. Started with 257 (used trip rated) and returned home with only 65 miles left. So rather than 257 got about 225. Not too good in my opinion. No high speed of course. Does stop/start and delay...

    Rear Trunk height override?

    Thanks Ohmman. Yes, mine worked yesterday when I performed the maneuver outside with no obstructions. Learn something new every day....

    Rear Trunk height override?

    I have tried to adjust the opening of the trunk (back) and cannot seem to get it to reprogram. I push it manually nowhere I want it to open, push the button and wait for the sound (one beep). Then close it. When opening again, it goes back to pre positioned height. Any suggestions?

    license plate frame

    I bought a nice carbon fiber license plate frame for my front plate on the X from AutoZone for $19.99. Makes a great appearance difference and is $25 cheaper. Get two for one!!

    Is it worth it? "Performance Pedal Set"

    We bought a set of two from Formytesla.com for $105 plus shipping and they installed very easy. They look great but I do not believe they offer any additional grip. But the price beats Tesla's for the same product.

    Does the Walmart pieces include all for the 6 seat version, including the cargo areas?

    I like them too. But I called several distributors on East Coast and said 'not available for X'. Where did you get them? thanks, J

    Model X June Deliveries

    Just asking. Our x90d vin 53xx is due for delivery mid-June in New York. Anyone else expecting delivery at this point in this time frame? Wondering if on same truck/train or ???

    Carbon Fiber trim

    Our x90D is scheduled for delivery in June. Got Obsidian Black with ultra white interior and carbon fiber trim. The hatch is now carbon fiber and really looks good on a demo that I saw recently. Try to get it retrofitted....

    Model X Financing questions

    TM offered 53 percent of original configured price. I did not do the details on the delivery/sales tax thing. One thing I noted was that you sold your S85 in 12/15 and at that time I had a $64k estimate from Tesla (at least in the records). But with delays, etc. I am not getting in June (maybe)...

    Model X Financing questions

    Got our Tesla trade-in value today and got $58,200 for a car that listed at over $100k in May 2014 when we bought the P85. Yes, pre- auto pilot, all wheel drive but the bid was low (at least I thought) so I researched it on KBB, Ebay and Auto Trader (who offered less than Tesla). Believe it...

    Carbon fiber interior

    Thanks for the note. Yes, I should have posted it on the X forum. But I have subsequently learned just what you say---carbon fiber on the phone holder and the storage unit cover. Looks great!!!

    Carbon fiber interior

    Does the carbon fiber interior option include carbon fiber where the front cup holders and phone gizmo are? The rep yesterday told me no...but I could swear I saw this on some forum post but cannot find it. I have a regular 90X on order. thanks for the input.

    Lloyd Mats - Rubbertite mats in the X? Good?

    Please help me locate these mats for my X. I went to google site and found at least 10 dealers but none of them stated they had for the X. Any specific place? thanks.

    Model X Financing questions

    Have done what you suggest. KBB trade in for my 2014 P85 (not D) with 23k miles and generally pristine, is $60k. Considering the federal tax rebate I got on the car, my net cost was $107,500 not including sales tax. So that is a 2 year old car (registered in June 2014) getting about 60 percent...

    Model X Financing questions

    \As I say above, who knows? My pre auto pilot cost $115 in June 2014 and am trading it in now. Appraisal next Tuesday so we will see....yes, I do think that the current X could well be worth less than 45% of today oust. Will let you know next week. But also take a look at the tesla financing...

    Model X Financing questions

    I do not see much in this forum about the Residual Value Guarantee available if you finance thru Tesla. What will tech bring in 3 years--that is the /???. Our 2014 P85 (prior to auto pilot) cost $115k and I am getting it appraised next week for Tesla financing. Anyone guessing how much it is...

    Alliant Credit Union 1.49% for 72 months

    Spoke with Alliant today and also got an email fromTesla finance. Yes, Alliant does not include the buy back guarantee so if you want the buy back on an X for 36-39 months then you must go with another finance sure--Tesla which was 2.75 percent a week or two ago. I do not trust technology...

    Alliant Credit Union 1.49% for 72 months

    Funny, but my rep did not tell me that the lower rate by Allianz would not include the buy back 'guarantee'. Have any of you actually gotten to the point of accepting the loan and ensure what the actual terms are? Is Tesla financing different than this one by Allianz? Not very clear to me....

    Where do you find your delivery estimate?

    Maybe it is early in the morning and I am not 'awake' but can you tell me HOW to get View Page Source on a Mac? Many thanks. I have fin 53xx also and my DS tells the the same---June delivery (no longer May). Live on East Coast which usually adds two weeks or so. Anyway it is fun waiting and...
  36. johnc11050

    Where do you find your delivery estimate?

    Same here. Some people seem to know where they stand in delivery, but I am sure in the 'dark'. DS tells me what used to be April/May is now June due to 3rd seat recall. What other excuse? Please tell us how we can get delivery estimate on mytesla. thanks.

    90D features

    Sorry but what is a pre-order vs. regular order? I expect our X in June now (was April/May) but have had order for 2 years or more. I heard at Tesla store here in NY that all 90Ds are now fixed spoilers but ....who knows?

    Model X Financing questions

    Such: Got the spreadsheet. Thanks so much and I am going to start working on it soon. Tesla told me that the guarantee buy back is 50% of base (with/without Fed tax credit?) and 40 % of options. My $112,200 x90 gets $53,300 at end of 36-39 months. Thinking about it....

    Model X April Deliveries

    Have a VIN now and expect May/early June according to my DS. But I really want to see if Testla can sort these QC problems out. Really hate to see a rear door open when I move the car.....fascinating!!

    New Tesla Marketing Email

    Congrats on your invite message....I got one in early March about reconfiguring and changed to the 6 seat option. As in your case, Tesla stated April/May delivery. But as of today (4/4/16) no VIN and no communication. How can they make so many promises about April/May delivery without coming...

    Model X April Deliveries

    Changed to 6 seat config as soon as was notified that this would yield an April/May delivery, but nothing yet on VIN or anything for that matter. Oh well, nice to hear that others are in same 'boat'.
  46. johnc11050

    New vin assigned?

    We are still waiting also. Got email about change in configuration and new April/May delivery but DS and everyone else at Tesla says to 'wait'. Have been for 2 1/2 years but no matter. Great things come to those who 'wait'. New TMC slogan?

    Thanks for the update on the 'active' or 'non active' spoiler. Valuable info on this forum as there is no other way we would find out about these 'changes'. Somehow DS sometimes do not get the info. Thanks again and enjoy!!!
