    Supercharger - Venice, FL

    I’m wondering if it will be in the vacant space next door—where the unused fuel pumps are (next to Shell). Brewburgers just revamped their restaurant and added outdoor seating so the space next door seems like a logical spot for the chargers to go.

    Home Charging vs Supercharging

    I miss charging at home. It's been almost a year since I moved so I SC once a week except when traveling back to the East Coast of Florida. I make the most of my SC trip as there are one or two stores that I will visit and it's a nice walk. However, our house that is being built will be...

    Blackvue Installers in South Florida?

    I went there today and Travis did a great job in such a short period of time...and it definitely was a reasonable price.

    CPO Tesla MS Condition

    Hello fellow Floridian, On 12/27/16 I took possession of a 2013 P85 with 27.5K miles @ Dania Beach. There were/are three small scratches on the hood. Even in almost darkness (holding a cell phone for lighting), they took touch-up paint to the spots. Pads, rims, tires and DU were changed...

    Documenting CPO in Tennessee - new MS owner

    That seemed to be the only retrofit option available. Now that my younger stepdaughter has experienced mine and a P85DL...well, she's still ok with my car. :) My DS did keep in touch with me and when I left her messages, she would call me back in a timely fashion. Other than tint and a cover...

    Documenting CPO in Tennessee - new MS owner

    I also bought a CPO 2013 P85 and my experience was quite pleasant. I debated for a short while whether I should flip to a 2014 P85D but I couldn't justify the additional $23K to myself. I did lose the ability for the EV car tax incentive but I did get the tax incentive for installing the EVSE...

    Advice needed..

    I bought a 2013 CPO and took delivery in December 2016. The seats are grey (that very light grey). From the pictures, I would sworn they were white. They're still in great condition an my S has the pano roof. My last two vehicles, I did not want a sunroof but they were both CPO and came with...

    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    I was half paying attention to my wife and half trying to marvel at the car. The all white walls and floors made for a nice contrast to look at the vehicles. I was sad to see it drive off but then I saw it reappear next door. In all of the commotion, they forgot my swag bag and are shipping...

    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    Last night my wife and I went to our service center to pick up my CPO Model S. There were a total of four vehicles being delivered at 6PM. We walked behind the large doors to begin the inspection and now I laugh when people talk about buggy software...it was a buggy car! While walking around...

    Tesla Delivers on Sundays?

    I just came back from the Dania Beach location--knowing that I couldn't see my car. I just had some research that I wanted to complete. My wife is very impatient. I, too, am used to walking in, making the deal, and driving out.

    Tesla Delivers on Sundays?

    @simplesolid, are you Dania Beach, WPB, Dadeland, Orlando? I'm by Dania Beach. They couldn't have mine ready for a pickup today so I'm also looking at sometime next week.

    No free supercharging for CPO purchases after 12/31/2016?

    That's the same thing I was told when I inquired. I know mine is here...somewhere... It's supposed to be at the showroom.

    CPO Delivery Timeline Normal?

    I'm so jealous.... I must say, the white exterior is white striking! I'm hoping that I'll be able post soon as well. The pictures taken of the CPO I am taking possession off were taken at night.

    Model S - HPWC (High Power Wall Connector)

    Upgraded main to 200 AMPs with a 60 AMP circuit for the HPWC. It's a stone's through from the main feed so I didn't have another cutoff switch in between.

    What did you (or will you) name your model S?

    My stepkids named my ICE SUV "Rico"...for Rico Suave. I have a feeling they will want the name moved to it. I'm carrying over my personalized plate of "1024TB".

    Navigation/ maps in no cell signal areas (newbie here)

    I don't know but if you're in Buckhannon, WV...you need AT&T or US Cellular. The first road trip back from touring a college campus with my stepdaughter, I was out of luck on then, Verizon. Thankfully, I had an AT&T mobile hotspot with me and used that to get Internet back and nav out of the...

    Service Car Soon Power Switch

    I really enjoy reading all of these posts as I am expecting to take possession of a 2013 CPO MS sometime in December. There are all sorts of things that I can ask about during the pickup.

    What are the supercharger use rules for CPO vehicles under new rules?

    I just contacted the regional CPO specialist for South Florida. Last Friday I pulled the trigger on a 2013 MS P85 and today I inquired about the Supercharging status as the vehicle was originally sold with Supercharging enabled. He stated that since I ordered before the end of this year, I...

    CPO Delivery Timeline Normal?

    Thanks to the stories here and after speaking with the South Florida CPO specialist, I figured 5-6 weeks would be a good average for my estimation. I had the power completed...financing should be wrapped up this week--**maybe** even today. Tesla was quick to call to get me to start uploading...

    Ordered my MS60 today, debating if I should get the wall charger

    I also have a NEMA 14-50 receptacle in a ruggedized box for my generator inlet attached to the 200 AMP main that feeds my house. It seals nicely when closed.

    Ordered my MS60 today, debating if I should get the wall charger

    I had one installed about two weeks ago and haven't had the pleasure of using it...yet. I pre-ordered a 3 and then two days ago I decided to cancel my order. Earlier this afternoon, I placed a deposit on a CPO MS...I'm much happier now. My HPWC install required a lot of electrical work. Our...

    A funny thing happened last weekend...

    For a short while we had a 1998 red Chevy Camaro. It was the first car for my stepdaughter and I guess we didn't think that we had to warn her about driving the car should the engine overheat. The water pump cracked and she kept driving home. Let's just say that my brother-in-law made it his...

    No; I didn't have a for sale sign on it. I was just driving back home without a specific thought on my mind.

    A funny thing happened last weekend...

    I got a fair value for it and the thrill of that vehicle was over for me. I just got a call from the electrical contractor...the charger is being installed at my house next week Monday.

    A funny thing happened last weekend...

    I was leaving my mother's house after disconnecting her UVerse boxes--heading back home when at the first traffic light after her house, to my left, was a deputy from our county's Sheriff's office. He was waving me down. I had to stop and think... "I'm fully stopped at a red light--check."...

    No sound, no soul?

    I can definitely appreciate the throaty sound of a good resonator. The first thing I changed on my Aspen was the exhaust. It's been several years since I changed it then but I would be ok with not having that sound. The MDS shifting has become somewhat annoying though. Even while cruise...

    Where's the charge port?

    DeFuniak Springs, FL. I've never heard of the location as it's on the opposite end of the state from me. It's in the panhandle and I'm closer to Miami/Ft. Lauderdale. Pull in, get out, plug in.

    If You're Reserving -what car are you coming from?

    I'll be coming from a 2008 Chrysler Aspen (HEMI). I've always said that my vehicle will either be a hybrid or an EV. I had an option to purchase the Aspen as a hybrid but it was so much more money (new, not one model year used). I don't need the large vehicle anymore as my stepchildren are...

    I live in S. Florida, about zero percent chance to drive in snow, rwd right?

    If you're in South Florida and are trying to cross N 56th Avenue and Park Road (in Hollywood) during the drive home--you want as much HP to cross that intersection because people don't like to let you pass. :D ...AWD and whatever speed option I can get...

    I live in S. Florida, about zero percent chance to drive in snow, rwd right?

    I'm in the Lake Buena Vista area for Disney a few times a year and I just generally prefer the traffic there. The I-4 corridor can get busy of course but that's expected for work traffic. Yes, I've seen some very interesting stuff down here. AWD and Performance to the rescue and I drive a...

    South Florida drivers + I-95. Yeah, I'm thinking AWD but I was planning a highly optioned Model 3 anyway.

    When will we be able to test drive?

    I bought my current ICE relatively sight unseen. I had a general idea of what it was going to look like. The test drive once I showed up at the dealer sealed the deal for me. I would love to test drive a Model 3 but I can commit without it.

    The model 3 door handles

    I'm a lefty and I just always have adapted to whatever is presented. I use my left hand to open the driver's side doors and my right hand for the passenger side doors. So, the 3's door handles won't phase me at all. I miss my left-handed notebook!

    Model 3 Potential: Police Cars?

    Also, our PD has been changing out the older cars for Tahoes and Malibus...even more Tahoes over the Malibus. I guess it's the size and since our east end of the city tends to flood with heavy rains, it's easier for the Tahoes to get through. So...speaking of flooding...South Florida summers.

    Model 3 Potential: Police Cars?

    Our officers have take-home vehicles. I wonder how that would play into it and some of them live 55 miles away from the station. I suppose if our fleet office installed SCs or comparable L2 chargers, then it could work. SOPs would update to require them to recharge at certain intervals. For...

    POLL: Model 3 License Plate Ideas

    For now, I'm keeping my current vanity plate, "1024TB". My truck was broken into at a softball park and the responding officer asked me what was with the license plate. I politely explained that it was not 10-24 (officer distress) but computer terminology. :rolleyes:
