Hope it happens Q3 along with a possible cash for clunkers come back. Have been delaying getting rid of my personal vehicle because it isn't worth a ton but that would be near perfect

Something I have considered: with battery day coming and a challenging quarter due to Corona, could we see some crazy end of quarter lease deals come back? Does tesla still allow discounts to come off cap cost like all the other manufacturers? Ive been really considering a 3P but could easily...

For that amount of possible discount, yeah it was interesting

Talked to OA today, and they state they will not sell the HI cars to someone on the mainland, even if we provide their own transport. He claims they did it a couple times and it ended up in disaster, so they just don't do it any more. So, if anyone is vacationing any time soon it might be...

I think if it got there and was beat to hell you'd have a good chance of either getting it fixed or getting your transport fee back and your deposit moved over. Even as an 11K mile inventory car they know you aren't going to accept any real damage

I think being in Hawaii has been the big issue for most. You’re paying 5k and it’ll probably take 2-3 months to get if you are an east coast person like me. 11k miles is a lot for a “new” car but also affords a big discount and the warranty hasn’t been started so who cares really

That P90D listed is really interesting. Might be a solid lease deal

They seem to be doing price drops every night around midnight eastern, and adding cars randomly in batches around 2-3AM

Make sure and post some pictures, as it took all the restraint I had not to try and get that car

So a P85 just came through in the high 30's, I got the email, and it was gone by the time I clicked. Is this someone internal holding a car for someone or do certain people get the email that much faster?

It was gone in the 2 minutes it took for me to send to my girlfriend and her to ask me why I hadn't already reserved it

I was just behind you in Charlotte as well. Live in Charlotte right now but from Hickory area

Tesla is already adding second shifts at some service centers. Check out the job postings to see the details. As an auto tech I can tell you all the negatives of you working a second shift at any other job as far as family time and social life and stuff exist working on cars at night. I think...

Ill be somewhere between 45 and 50, hopefully with taxs. My only real needs off the bat are supercharging if not included, bigger battery, and I would like AWD and figure bigger battery may make it required. Depending upon cost and the state of the fed rebate I will activate autopilot and...

Student loans are a real buzz kill

Trying to between now and then eliminate at least 30k in debt extra, that way I can comfortably afford the payment even if I push up to 45-50k

Hoping my 180K mile SC300 Lexus survives without too much issue until Model 3 comes. Then retire it and do that Supra swap I so greatly desire

Of course, its more than cancelled out by the fact that if you want to turn a car in at year 3 and less than 45k you should just lease it which also gives you the added bonus of the tax credit up front

I think the expansion of the dealer network and the addition of technicians will help that. You would be surprised how much it costs to buy and remodel even a service center when you count in the hours you spend training new techs on systems. It just takes time. I honestly wouldnt be surprised...

It seems to me in the research I've done that RVG is basically a glorified lease. If you want that peace of mind, lease it and then at the end of the lease if you want to keep the car finance the residual. Otherwise, enjoy sub 2% interest and just finance the thing

I know I'm bringing this from the dead a bit but I will be there. Added myself to the meetup on FB

As far as the inspection, NC does safety only on Electric vehicles. The $13.60 cheaper inspection where they just look at the essential safety items. I can't help you with who to take it to down there unfortunately as the friends I have that work on them down there all work for dealers

So I'm a technician by trade that has followed Tesla somewhat, and now that the M3 is coming I will be an owner, whenever the cars make it to the East Coast. I have a few questions about the service techs however. I've read before that the guys are hourly and not flat rate, is that accurate...
