Thank you for the response. Glad to hear you had no issues. Not happy to hear that you needed the service twice.

Quick question. Does anyone know Tesla's policy (if there is one) re roadside assistance for a flat tire if you are not driving on Tesla provided wheels and/ tires? The reason I ask is because my Tesla service shop twice refused to do any tire/wheel work on my car because the wheels or tires...

OK, I have had my MS since Dec 2015 and love it. But today I was looking at it closely and noticed that the shiny aluminum trim on the upper doors do not "line up" well. In fact, the drivers side noticeably lines up better than the passenger side, but neither is perfect. I started to think...

Rear seats have height and weight restraints. From Tesla Model S Manual "Rear facing seats are child restraint systems and must only be used for children over 37” tall and weighting between 35 and 77 lbs" If your children fall outside of this range (or will soon) I would pass on the seats...

i just want to be clear that I am comparing an Audi S7 (not an A7)to a Tesla Model S85D. They very much compare directly. Similar MSRP base price and when outfitted with options. Similar power and handling, AWD, etc. Size even. The same hold true for the MB CLS 550 4Matic. But that is not the...

OK.. this is alot more than you asked. Sorry. I am a doctor 11 years out of fellowship making a very good living. Took me 6 years after I started working to pay off all my student debt. I could not have imagined the added burden of an auto loan for $100,000+ car right out of training. Also...

have you spoken with anyone at Tesla financing? Financial Services (650) 681-6789

I don't understand how your aftermarket system is less costly than the upgraded factory system if you are leasing. The upgraded factory system adds $39 to the monthly lease price. $39 x 36 months = $1404 over the life of the lease.

As I wrote, I compared the Tesla lease price to an Audi S7 lease and a MB CLS550 4 matic lease. (Wouldn't you call that the competition?) And the Tesla was less. - - - Updated - - - People who lease cars are not "spending around $100K." They are figuring an acceptable monthly expense. When...

You are correct about the Tesla RVG and how they calculate it making and options depreciate at 43%. What shocked me is that the only thing that depreciates at 50% is the $70,000 cost of the base Model S70 (rear wheel drive). Going to a 70D adds $5000 and that $5000 depreciates to 43%. If you go...

I beg to differ regarding Tesla leases and how they compare to competition. Even before I got the lower "lease deal" I found their rates to be more than reasonable when compared to competing cars. Now some of that has to do with the $7500 tax credit that still gets factored into the lease in...

I 100% definitely got the lease deal on a custom order build. Not on an inventory or CPO car. I watched my car go through production and it is now in transit to my local Tesla store. (You can see my initial post on the first page of this thread.) I believe that the reason for the deal was...

Don't need to. I already heard it from the GM of 5 dealerships.

Who fell for what? Why comment at all if it is only to belittle another forum member? I relayed a conversation and asked for opinions. One thing that I believe to be true however is that those of you who live in CA (where 1/2 of all EVs in the US are registered) will definitely see things on...

I received an unsolicited email from the sales guy at my local Tesla showroom on Nov 20, 2015. Among other things he wrote "Our leasing program has been revamped for any custom orders placed in the next week for an end of year delivery, or any NEW inventory vehicles that will be delivered before...

Tesla doesn't hold the lease, the bank does. No worries about a car being seized. - - - Updated - - - Someone traded in a Tesla for a Toyota?

That may be. But has anyone ever traded in their Tesla to a conventional dealer that you know of? Ever see a Tesla on the used car lot at your local BMW, MB, or Audi dealer? They don't want to touch these cars because they don't know how (and cannot) service them and they certainly don't know...

So I am expecting my Model S later this month. I chose to lease rather than buy for a number of reasons. But I just had a run-in that made me glad I am not buying. I met a the general manager of one of the largest auto dealer groups in my area. He oversees a VW, two Audi, and two Porsche...

Actually Tesla was running lease deals if ordered by end Nov and took delivery by 12/31/15. In comparison to the original monthly lease price I am saving $5000 over the course of the 3 year lease.
