What you plan on doing is nothing new. It's been done countless times on a Tesla, to include a 15K mile trip (over 3 years ago) and a record-breaking "L.A. to New York" trip on an electric vehicle. You'll have to figure out another angle on what makes your trip stand out but I think your...

That's nothing. I used to doze off riding my motorcycle.

With bottle caps and the rest with empty milk cartons;-)

Every noble goal will eventually fail once you run out of money.

That's reasonable but you also need to consider the buyer will not get any Federal tax credit. Does your state give any tax credit for used EV purchasers? GLWS!

Perhaps the Costco car buying service will offer a discount;-)

Here's Tesla's Service plan. Service plans

I wouldn't go that far. It's not fixed yet and I'm sure it will get fixed but it shouldn't have reached his level. He has other things to worry about. I feel bad for whoever it is that simply ignored all those calls but a lesson needed to be learned.

Many probably may not get it but I'm sure there are a few considering doing that for whatever is worth for them.

Good info to know.

I'm one of them.

So what is the term for the bottom dwellers, which will be the Model 3 owners?

Wow, it's been so long ago I already forgot if I pre-ordered one or not;-)

Sorry, but it's only going to get worse once Tesla becomes mainstream.

Just crashed

The question should be what will you do once the 4 cars are built and ready to pick up and pay for?

That priority sequence does not make sense.

I wonder if many reserved a Model X on impulse since I see too many either trying to sell their spot or <1000 mile used Model X, minus any tax incentive but yet asking a premium. Myself in particular was quite a bit underwhelmed with the quality and disappointed with the late delivery of the...

Why do these folks think their reservation spot is so special and valuable? I bet we can expect to see the same when the Model 3 is released.

Is that Matthew McConaughey's voice?

You would need a pair of nitwits for this type of deal to go through;-)

I feel bad for you but if this is the worst 3 weeks of your life, consider yourself blessed. Some people's concerns are not completely resolved by money nor insurance claims.

I was thinking the same thing.

I would imagine the OP is asking $5K not to include his $5K deposit?

Can't help but speculate the low price of gas isn't going to help Tesla gain the Model 3 reservation numbers they need or expect. Thoughts?

...because people don't necessarily want to buy other people's problem. (i.e. if they're having mechanical, electrical or other gremlin issues)

I'm with you on this.

Are there any plans on installing Superchargers near Anchorage?

It appears your definition of 'science' is somewhat limited.

I bet they all had summer tires and to answer your question, AWD, 4x4 doesn't matter without proper winter tires. Winter Tyres or 4x4: which is best? - Auto Express - YouTube

Well, considering this is a car "enthusiast" site, it perfectly makes sense the OP prefers the car go to another "enthusiast" rather than someone with just deep pockets. I would do the exact same thing. Nice car and good luck with the sale!

Wow, $1, that's pretty cheap!

haha, aint that the truth!

I share the same thoughts and feelings. I have many hobbies but the one I enjoy the most and can compare with the "elitist" stigma you mentioned is road cycling. I used to ride with a large group most of them riding on >$5K (I'm guilty of that) and some even $10K+ bicycles. Some of the guys...

"...don't need an SUV right now so I'll sell it for a $90K profit" plus I was able to use the $7.5K tax credit, haha!

Shouldn't the insurance (either their's or your's) cover the rental?

Perhaps just a force of habit since when testing an ICE vehicle (to save weight) they never want to test acceleration with a full tank of gas. Maybe they think that 25% charge would be lighter as well ;-)

Perhaps one of the big PowerBall winners would be interested. I wish I had one to sell them.

Most probably what most of us thought in our heads but didn't say.

Wonder if we'll ever see the 'real' outcome of this or just kept in the dark?

Gotcha. My panels have been buried under snow since last month and I'm not brave enough to get up on the roof to brush the snow off.

Good lord, you have a 604 kw/h PV system?

I lived in Alaska and found that there were always more 4x4, AWD vehicles stuck in ditches because they had improper tires versus RWD or FWD vehicles with proper winter tires. Studless winter tires like the Michelin X-ice or the Nokian Hakkapelitta series seem to provide the best performance...

Tesla Motors: We're Sticking With Mobileye Car Tech - Fortune

Since the Tesla is practically a computer perhaps we just need to 'overclock' it and it will be faster;-)

I doubt Tesla ever beta-tested the Model S to be buried in snow like that;-)

If you can install Kodi.TV to it then you can watch it while you're on autopilot;-)

Your story is very reassuring for those folks who think long vacations are not ideal in the Model S. Thanks!
