No longer looking for one. Ended up with a surprise referral this month. Hooray. Thanks everyone.

Not sure really. A brand-new order of the original polished version is $500 through Tesla, so starting slightly above that would likely be a good mark. They haven't traded yet openly so there's no real sample pool for pricing yet. It's going to be up to the first few buyers with a true...

I missed it by a few days. Plus, my kids really, really wanted the mini-Model S so we went with that. Not sure if I'll have another referral any time soon and want to grab one of these while available. *UPDATE* Still interested.

I am fully aware this is not yet a referral prize, but will soon be. Just throwing a thread out for search purposes when these become available/shipped/rewarded. Extremely interested.

Sonic Carbon or Silver?

If this is in-fact, the crash-test model, they would be required to have the production steering wheel installed on the vehicle. At this point, the 3 having 'just a regular looking steering wheel' is easy to assume. Whether it has fun and fancy unknown functions is TBD, but as far as the...

Agree wholeheartedly. He never said steering 'wheel' specifically, he said "steering controls and system". Albeit, the word 'controls' could be directly interpreted as the wheel, because, well, it's the main control OF said system. The "you won't care" statement could also have something to...

At the beginning yes, but not at the 1:30 open.

Is this happening? Looks like that may be the case. That guy is just doing it super fast. Haha

Best pause moment is either 1:32 or 1:33 depending on the fractions you stop it within. It's fast, whatever he's doing. I'm trying to watch the reflections and the more I'm hearing what others are seeing the worse it's getting. I'm having fun trying to figure it out though.

In the video, at ~1:30, the gentleman walks up to open the driver's side door. I've watched it many, many, times, and I'm not able to determine whether it's a 'push & pop', a 'swipe', or if he's actually 'pulling' a handle. Anyone make anything out?

I'm 14 minutes too late to the party. *sigh*

Ticket #217 Glad to help. :D

Do you have the high-fidelity sub-woofer and amp?

I think it's a great move and a logical decision on Tesla's part. I don't know exact percentages (attempted looking it up), but looking at a sample pool of BMW for example, would be how many overall 3-series/4-series owners bought a 328i/428i versus an M3/M4. Both beloved, but I would hardly...

Prayers answered. Tesla — 21" Arachnid Wheel

Gen 1 or Gen 2? And to clarify, this is new in-box?

Perfect example @JeffK Also, by definition: Augmented reality Augmented reality (AR) is a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented (or supplemented) by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. It is...

Is this for wheels ONLY, or the whole Tesla package including tires, TPMS and caps as well?

Wasn't trying to beat a dead horse, more or less just wanted to confirm, hence my request for a close-up of the image since I couldn't make it out in detail. I would find it difficult to believe that 6 months after pencils-down that they would produce an official product on a shirt with a...

Makes me very happy if that is the case. I couldn't tell from the far-away situation. If the grille-less design held, I'm stoked. @MrRandyB - Thanks for the close-up. Enhance FTW.

Just posted, a Veteran T-Shirt on their shopping site. Anyone with fancy-shmancy skills that can enhance that Model 3 fascia?

New TPMS or older?

Yes, it's a referral award (I want to say in the current batch.) That's why I put it out here. I know there's a lot of folks who get the rewards and may not simply have the time for something like this. It would be more than appreciated and forever cherished if given the opportunity. But...

Hey everyone! I have a 6 & 7 year-old who are as equally excited about Tesla as I am. We frequent the Hawthorne supercharger just to go to "mini-Tesla world" and see SpaceX and the Falcon 9 on the corner. We went last Sunday after watching the Iridium launch and success, and the kids got...

@HX_Guy - You're a saint. Thank you. That's exactly what I was looking for. I approve.

@HX_Guy - Thanks for such a quick response! Looks really good! If you do end up taking more photos I'd love to see them, especially a direct profile view. Follow-up question: Have you noticed any [significant] changes in ride quality and road noise going from the 19's?

Hey all, hoping someone can help me out. I continually check the service center while I'm charging, but have yet to find the 21" wheels on the standard suspension. All seem to have the smart-air. I'm looking to get a set of turbines but I want to make sure the ride height doesn't change too...

This thread already has so much win.

Air, or nitrogen? I don't think that deserves an "unbelievable". Can you add air to nitrogen tires When you add compressed air to the tire, the water comes along for the ride. As the tire heats up during driving, that water changes to a gas, which then expands, increasing tire pressure...

New owner, and my TPMS lights all came on last night. I assume it's the cold (if you could call it that), but it's not 85 degrees so I'll call it cold. All four tires are reading 38psi. Per the sticker, all should be 45psi. From what I know, these are nitrogen filled tires so adjusting the...

I think it's too early to truly tell. There'll always be a future demand for electric, because the industry is full steam ahead. That being said, since it's just the beginning, I feel there will actually be a large market for used, non-2.0 models. I personally think we're still a good 2-3...

Anyone have either of these sitting around new-in-box? I'm looking for the factory versions of both. Let me know!

Dying for these wheels/tires. Anyone in SoCal get some by default and willing to part? Looking for gray or silver.

Hey everyone!!! So I pulled the trigger and took delivery of my Model S and have a fresh referral code. PM me if anyone needs a referral code. More than happy to help others get into their dream car. Truly an amazing vehicle. :D

Ladies...gentlemen... I posted that just to share it. There's no question in my bias, I clearly titled the write-up with the phrase "from a Tesla fan." It clearly is meant to express my harsh feelings on the Bolt. This was born from a Google search where every article from every angle was...

Agree or disagree, it's how I feel. Impulse write-up I did this morning from all the news stories today. Dear Chevy Bolt, I read about you today after the internet flooded with articles claiming you are awesome. I popped a few open, read through some of the excitement. The headlines...

Hey everyone, fairly new here and definitely new in the investor realm of things. Forgive me in advance if I ask any "noob" questions or clarifying questions that may have been covered in prior pages, I'll do my best to read through it and educate myself. I've always been interested in...

The best part about those two designs, is that I'd be happy and satisfied with either. It's a win-win.

If the instrument panel is thick enough for the passenger side front air-bag which will be required, it is thick enough to integrate a screen WITHIN the panel. I feel the "dash is too slim" argument is invalid. Also, I work in the collision industry and as sited in prior posts, there is no way...

Good point, hadn't thought about it from that perspective. Hence them taking it down. Haha. I suppose it were truly harmless, they would have left it there.

I don't think this would be harmful, it's basic data-mining. Pretty common with anything nowadays. Well now that it's gone, and we all had a quick rush of excitement, did we conclude anything in the theory regarding the number significance? I couldn't chime in because I was working...

This is an amazing time-soak. Thank you for this, so awesome!

You know what, I take that back. I did some Googling on the Google machine, and I was mistaken. Turbine wheels are not marketed as aero wheels or function anything more than brake cooling (which should be a wheel's function anyhow). For some reason, my brain glitched. Forgive me. Haha

It's the little things... And regarding the wheels, I'm guessing those will be the optional "Premium wheels" since they're aerodynamically designed similar to the Turbines.

Just going to jump in real quick and put the explanation in for those who didn't know the difference like myself, I'm sure I'm not alone. "The main difference between an LED and an OLED is that the pixels of an OLED are self illuminating, whereas LED are used to light an LCD display."

To steer this back to on-topic: I think the interior, as well as some of the exterior, finalized designs are being held close to the chest on purpose as Tesla likes to do. Not too long ago, when Motor Trend went to do the photo shoot at the Gigafactory, they were strictly instructed not to...
