Haha! There is a similar video. Teslaites(did I just invent that?) go to a gas station just to wash their windshield !

Good to know! These guys really spoil us. I don't think I'll be able to drive any other car after this.

I feel for you man! I really do. I guarantee you that once you get your beast, you will completely forget about all of this.

Are those premium services offered in all service center or only on Fremont (as it is the main one). Do we have to schedule for charging? I read somewhere that we have to.

Oh I do that everyday on my way home from work. It is perfect in my opinion. But yeah eyes should always be on the road.

Congratulations!

I got this beast on 03/31. This is my first car ever (you will get to know by my excitement). The most expensive car that I had driven before this was Honda Civic (Zipcar). I was always a car enthusiast but could not drive much as I was busy with studies traveling to different states and...

Referral Credit on a Tesla Model S | Tesla Motors If you are still looking!

True! Better be safe! I believe California (Bay Area ) doesn't require winter tires. Am I right?

Wow! Awesome! Thanks for the good news!

Mine is at 31st :P . But I will definitely finish my list before your delivery ;)

Wow! That is a lot of information. I'll extract the delivery related information from the link below and add my experience when I take my delivery as well(The post is old 2014, so a few things might have changed), so everyone in my shoes can get it at one place. Thank you so much for this!

I know there are many checklists that users have created. Some of them are catered towards what to do during the wait period etc. My delivery is almost there. I am compiling a list of question to ask to them at delivery. Since this is my first car, I am not sure what and how to inspect in the...

Awesome! Thank you @Soundchasr ! Now I could go for other tires that are equivalent in performance and more affordable.

Thanks @Soundchasr . They replied for standard wheels. It maybe the case that they require same tires for the 21 inch as they are of different quality. I

Really? I find that hard to believe(without being rude). What if just before the lease ends (and my OEM tires are bald), I replace it with shitty tires (like $100 a piece). I am pretty sure they won't accept it. Quoting sample Tesla lease agreement "The charge for excess wear will be our...

Hear me out and let me know if this is a good idea. 1) Wait for OEM tires to wear out. 2) Replace with 3rd party tires. 3) Wait for them to wear out and replace accordingly. 4) In the last 9 months of my lease, replace the 3rd party ones with OEM before returning the car.

I am leasing the Tesla. Will swapping the tire for a 3rd party one allowed in a lease?

I guess I won't I won't be driving like a lunatic(well maybe sometime) and since this is a 70D, I am guessing it will have less tire degradation compared to p85D and p90d. Am I correct in guessing this or this does not matter much? How much does it cost to have tires replaced? Also I don't...

Thank you guys! Best car forum ever!

@dlv1984 super thanks! Do you know how long does it usually take to receive those stickers?

Question to all Californians-> I have never owned a EV car (or any car for that matter). I am getting my Tesla Model S in a few days. Do we get the access ok stickers at delivery or do we have to request them from DMV? I would like to know this because this would make my commute to work even...

I ordered the 21inch wheel because they looked so damn awesome. I did not order it for the performance or better cornering etc. I was just reading a couple of forums and blogs where some people had to change them every 6000 miles. That sounds really bad. Does anyone have any experience with...

So I spoke with Tesla Leasing today. They said $500k CSL is accepted and there is a max deductible limit of $1000. GAP insurance is included in the lease.

Nobody is giving me that kind of insurance. Geiko only offers $300k/$300k insurance. Many people have $100k/$300k with Tesla lease. I don't know how they got that. Did you have experience with CSL and tesla? Can we have any insurance at time of delivery and change later?

I am leasing with Tesla leasing. I found a $500k liability with progressive. It is a $500k csl (combined single limit) I don't know if it will work. I am too scared. The delivery is coming near and I don't wanna lose the car because of this

Geico doesn't have GAP insurance in California. I just checked out the sample lease contract in My Tesla page. It says: You must insure the vehicle through policies and insurers acceptable to us from the delivery of the vehicle to you until you return it to us, and show us proof if we ask. The...

Awesome @byan1232 . I just finished speaking with Geico! and they reduced my premium from $2207 to $1969 by adding the good student discount! Thanks everyone for chipping in. This is the best forum. So many of my noob questions have been answered. I look forward to contributing in this as soon...

Where can I see all the extras that you are talking about. As far as I remember, I got engineer and good driver discount. Do you have to be a full time student to get the >3.0 gpa discount? Because I had that but I graduated in May, 15

So I spoke with couple of Insurance companies. (AAA, Geico, Farmers, Allstate). AAA did not give any quote stating too much of a risk for the luxury vehicle. Farmers said if your DL starts with Y3..... you need at least 6 months before farmers will accept you. Allstate was too high. Geico was...

Cheers! I too was looking for this.

That was for Model x. But thanks. I was able to get it for Model s Model S Specifications | Tesla Motors .

I have never owned a car before so this may sound a noob question. I am 24 (underage, in terms of insurance). The car is also leased. I just got my CA license. I have 5+ years of incident-free driving history in another country which will be counted only after 18 months of driving history...

I have ordered the 70D. I know the important features that I have ordered with the car. But does anyone where can I find the full spec sheet of the car. Like in BMW you can find all sorts of stuff (anti-theft, what type of lights etc).

I know for a fact that I will be switching the car in 3 years.

I spoke with them, they said they will be able to honour the offer past 4/1. And the delivery is late March. So hopefully will not go into that situation.

I know, however, I have only 6 months credit history with 730 score (Not a US citizen) hence had to pay a lot of down payment just to get the lease approved. Also, monthly payments would be less, so at least one advantage there.

I got the reply from the finance guy: Posting here just for anyone in the same boat to see:

I could not find this topic in the forum and hence started a new thread. (There was one, but the google spreadsheet in that was locked.) Good new! My lease got approved for the Tesla Model S 70D almost fully specced out. I just want to know what the TBDs will amount to. I don't want any...

Good news guys! I got my lease approved! Here is the spread: Does anyone know what the TBD will amount to?

You are right. I should not have made assumptions. I have already applied for lease and I will get my decision by Monday. Will definitely ask the finance guy about financing once I get the decision. Will keep you posted. The reason of me making assumptions was because I have read lot of forums...

Agree with all of it. Thank you very much. I am willing to pay only $10k as down payment. But with my thin credit file I am absolutely sure that no bank or credit union will be able to provide me a loan of $80k for buying the Tesla. I will have to make do with a lease now. If I really like the...

The reason I don't want to Finance it is that EV is a growing market and who knows, after 3 years, they might come up with even better stuff. Being a tech savvy person, I absolutely hate being stuck with older technology. I do see he advantages of Financing, but I don't want to make that big a...

But what about lease? If I lease it the monthly payment will be a little less compared to Financing. I can use this money to do some investments etc. Also I forgot to mention that I am only 24 years old. Will that also affect my chances of approval?

That is good to know. However I am scared about my thin credit file :(.

Hi everyone! I just ordered my Tesla 70D and I have applied for Tesla leasing. It has been my dream to get Tesla since they launched the Tesla Roadster. I am now a Software Engineer in a tech company and earn $118k a year with no loans etc. I am also not a US citizen and hence have very less...
