Benz S560 Coupe mostly for the interior, but I'd lease it because in 3 years ICE cars are gonna start halving in value.

Or maybe it was because this is my second Model S - I sold my first back in 2017 - because the referral code looks familiar. So the code comes from a car I bought back in the day, not my new spaceship. I'll find out when I get two entries per referral instead of one.

I just got an email confirming I actually do have a referral code... so it seems they were reading our forums.

I just felt left out, totally emo and ridiculous of me...

Picked up my new P100DL on March 20, 2019. The order date was March 15, 2019. So I'm under a week prior to the commencement date of the new referral program... bummer.

I was raised in the cult of the v8, and I love a nice gas guzzler.... but these videos say it all.

EV tax credit does nothing for the consumer but enable the manufacturer to bloat their MSRPs. As a consequence, you get higher insurance rates, steeper immediate drive off depreciation, and some government twat gets a kickback for using the green argument for a nice fat pork barrel.

Daytona 500, I used to rock that game back when I had hair :cool:

I read a lot of this thread and figured most people don't know the truth. The test drive is an excuse to give a salesperson time with you to get you to buy a car. Granted there are some finer details you might get from a drive but mostly 30 minutes is not enough to get a full understanding of...

Seat update. The ergonomic insert I bought on Amazon works. I think my problems are solved.

Update.. did 125 miles today, just got back from a 75 mile stretch.... and my back actually felt good using the seat insert.

Try the ergonomic seat insert I linked to up a few posts... I've tried much more expensive options and this one immediately feels better. Saves buying a new car or early depreciation. I'm still working out if it's really better than the sacro-eaze seat, but I'm optimistic. And yes, the...

The MS sat in the garage for 5 months and I drove another car, but I got this seat... tried it today on my commute and it seems to fix ergonomic issues. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005EJP0OS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Let's see how this plays out.

Let's not lose out heads. If you look at the chemical composition of gasoline you will see it can easily be manufactured, we'd have been doing this today if gas was not so cheap from fossil methods. All it really takes is power. Peak oil is a myth, there will never be a time where hydrocarbons...

Yeah, it's called depreciation. Welcome to the party pal.

Put it in the bank, you'll need it to feel better about the additional $7500 depreciation you just took on your shiny new purchase.

There's a thread somewhere here where I'm moaning about the Tesla seats, so I don't need to go into detail again. TLDR - NG Seats gave me back pain. I'm broad shouldered just under 6ft, got a few extra pounds. So I bought another car to see if the back pain was me or the Tesla seat. Three days...

They won't be able to scan my face every 30 seconds if I'm wearing my tin foil mask...

They're shaped like Racaro racing seats but they're squishy and narrow. The area above the side bolsters is not firm, infact I can push it in with a finger about two inches.... so it pinches shoulders forward. Also the head rest lurches forward too far, and is completely not adjustable. I'm...

Next gen black leather

Can you make them more comfortable, more supportive, less torturous? If so, how?

Then there's also the unlimited supercharging for free, eventually that will be rare and make our pre-2017 cars unicorn-like. I'm still considering selling, I hate the seats.

I'll keep it, it's plenty handy to have and in the office.

*THIS* I had an F10 550 before this... the trauma of the N63 engine wasn't nice, but the seats were spectacular. THREE days after buying the 6er, with the comfort sport seats with cooling and zillion way support, no more back pain. The sacro ease was good, but I lost side bolsters and upper...

About a week after using the sacroease I realized it was not tall enough and so my shoulders were getting some vibration passed up through the chair. So pain started to take up residence in my upper back. Suffice to say I bought a used BMW 650 Gran Coupe and am back to drinking Texas tea...

I don't think they're better. I borrowed a 100d for a morning and felt almost the same.

I know, that also was my reaction - way too pricey. But it's a steel frame seat and probably double the price it should be. I did not find anything else out there that was this precise. No straps, it doesn't move sideways, and the hinges don't dig into the seat. It also folds backwards quite...

These girls are on their way to sciatica-city. For me it was 150 miles a day, that's what did me in. I love the car, but am tortured by it's treatment of me. I'm tortured by the ridiculous inconsistency of the 405 freeway merged with THE SEATS... the Tesla next gen seats were designed by...

I get this thread. Full on entitlement. Here's the reality of the growing company sales objectives.... NEW CUSTOMERS They already have you as a customer.

Not sure if dupe but While you drive the world’s best electric vehicle, you should be listening to the world’s best stereo.

LFTR please. 800 degree liquid molten salt. No xenon gas, no massive containment vessel, no massive high pressure go boom pieces, no pools with tons of radioactive water, and waste that ends up being a usable biproduct in the medical industry. Google Kirk Sorensen for one explanation. Power...

I love the car... but I HATE the next gen seats. I have discovered back pain driving this pig over the last year, and nobody seems to have a consistent story. Seems to me that... 1. The head rest pokes forward about an inch too far. 2. The crease between the seat flat and the lower back...

Yesterday at the Mission Viejo mall I noticed the show room car had blacked out chrome, is this now a factory option? No I didn't go in and ask, it was too busy.

OFF. I sometimes bounce the car back and forward on the hill because it annoys the wife... good fun. Otherwise I almost never need to use the brake in normal driving.

Best idea since chewable glass.

Meh.. just means in a couple of years I won't be factoring in free long distance into the purchase price when my horrible car buying disease raises it's ugly head again. This is a nice car, but I could have bought a nicer 2015 S63 AMG. Then again, no matter what I got bragging rights and an in...

Ha.. I actually need lawn furniture :-)

Heh, qualifications schmalifications... what difference does it make? :)

The RS4 my wife had was quick ... the kids dined out on the fact that when it was nicked the police had to scramble a helicopter because they didn't have anything that could catch it! There's some similarities to 70D with both of my BMW 645i and 650i over the last decade, middle gear shift the...

The burn is real. :)

I dropped in front of him and slowed to match his speed and as I hit the turn I powered up so as to not lose traction decelerating on the corner. After the turn I slowed again, which he took as a chance to show me some stick. Speeding back up on the straight as he switched over to my left side...

I annoyed some guy in an RS4 tonight by safely accelerating past him to take a right hand turn, which he also wanted to take. He might have been dozing at wheel or picking his nose and I guess he wanted to be in front because as soon as we straightened up he torched my acceleration leaving me in...

Costa Mesa service center put a forefinger dab of Krytox GPL-203 on the side of my seat and insinuated it with a course dinner napkin. I think it was the circular motion of application that provided remedy, because hence gone was the squawk of pain from the rubbing and unfortunately for everyone...

seat was broken I did summise creaking at the sides then this post was discovered and I realized now I drive silent and content with a notebook at my side

Hi Tech fix for rubbing seat making squeaky noises

I'm only here to see pictures of the dogs... *shrug* I just keep my wheaten in the back-back with a furniture pad on the deck. Instagram photo by Charlie Bear • May 13, 2016 at 5:28am UTC

March 2016 delivery S70D - Never been in the passenger seat, but yeah I get some shift when I do stupid turns or braking... and the inside rib support creaks when I get pushed into it. It's no P90D, but I drive it like a rental.

Nothing will change, other than the UK legally able to deny mass immigration from eastern EU and their porous borders. It's a good buying opportunity for FTSE indexes an GBP... Should equalize soon enough.

Big bag of M&Ms also does the trick keeping you awake.

I've been in a peleton with a MS both in front and behind and we all seemed to have CC active.... Wedge my hand in the wheel and I could have taken a 30 minute nap.
