I feel your guy's pain. My husband gives the evil glare to Tessie all the time. I miss that car more than I miss him (he isn't on this site, so I can say it). Even after a month of ownership - I am just as obsessed as the day I put down my deposit.

@Austin Powers I scanned thru the posts, so my apologies if you have already been asked/answered this...but, why don't you buy a CPO Model S? I got 99% of everything I wanted when I bought my CPO, and managed to save $50K+. Granted there are things that I will just never have with my CPO as...

Isn't the 'imply' granted to the actual site host and not the trolling blogger w/ nothing better to do?

Nope. Never did.

Ugh...I know this is satire, but someone, somewhere thinks that this is acceptable while driving their Tesla in autopilot. Tesla Car's Owners Just going by what was written on the internet - could be correct, could be a farce. Either way, I am a dunkin donuts girl and that crap is always...

For soon-to-be owners of any Tesla, this is quite apropos.. Tesla Model 3 – Limited Edition "My Other Car Is A Reservation" t-shirt.

Good points all around, and we might differ a bit on the overall outcome that should happen for any corporation, but I see your point. I think there is still a huge disconnect between what autopilot is and what it is not. Not sure who is at fault when they get behind the wheel...this is all...

Ok, I will bite. I did my due diligence and read a few different write ups about the Stella Liebeck case. My quote (insensitive or not) was a general statement has been used before (maybe not in this forum or on this site) as the example of people needing instructions for what seems to be the...

Hm...nope. But what I do know is that I have better things to do with my time than start an argument on a forum. Have a lovey day, and I hope your *sighs* go away. Waste of a good breath if you ask me...

Blaming anyone is dumb at this point. Not a lot of hard fact, and a lot of stipulation. And I agree, there is no reason to assume that someone is a liar or truthful based off of their profession. I am sure the driver of that semi will never be able to sleep the same again - he lived and...

U Again, it is speculation by his friends that knew him as a techie. I wasn't in the car nor did I do the investigation - so I am not 100%. My friends think I have a computer surgically attached to my hip and my iPhone to my hand...if you enjoy technology, then people assume things. I...

I think that is a beautiful gesture. Let me contact my friend that is close to him/his family. If they decide to do it, I will be sure to let you all know.

We don't need autopilot to be distracted. I am sure blame will be pointed everywhere - and there is no evidence that he was on his laptop. The comment was purely speculation (he was a techie guy). The person that sent me that is still active duty EOD and watches his men die quite often from...

Not known for sure - speculation. If you tell anyone you are using autopilot they automatically assume you are applying mascara, checking stocks, or reading the Wall Street journal (as my friends have all asked me). And while I could sit here and troll your comment with "I am sure you're never...

The guy that died was a former Navy EOD guy. Absolute shame. I am very close to a few of his former EOD coworkers and they are all very, very sad. This was sent to me on Monday by my good friend: "A buddy of mine (Josh Brown- prior Navy EOD) had the same car with the auto pilot and loved...

Same few issues with mine. And I held my delivery to the exact date/time, and of course like all dealerships, they were behind. In order to get me the car on the 27th they had to forego the interior detailing. The seats were dirty and so was the A-post material. I went home and detailed it...

I have only had it for 2 days, but it seems very sturdy (for what it is) to me. I am really happy with the product and it doesn't feel out of place at all (styling/quality). It wasn't a hard install, so there are things that are not going to be 100% perfect - like it would for the Tesla...

Here it is installed. Don't want to take it out to get more photos. I am very happy with it. The lighting makes it seem (in the pic) that the leather doesn't match - but it does. My OCD would have flipped and I would have sent it back had it not. The ONLY complaint I have is that it hugs...

Thanks, and me too. So glad I found this car and in this blue. Such a nice change from all the black cars / bikes I have owned.

Fortunately I am so happy with everything right now that I do not feel the need to upgrade anything *just yet*. Let me banking account and credit card rest for a bit before I go balls-out again and buy anything/everything Tesla...

Yes! And I put my CCI in. Looks pretty damn good, and no issues. The leather (tan) matches incredibly well, and so does the glossy obeche wood. I don't regret the purchase of the Evannex CCI.

She's here and it is everything I thought it would be.

That is an awesome picture, but I have already requested that they forego the 'celebratory' hand over and we opt for the inspection hand over. I want to inspect the car fully prior to departing. If they think this girl will just swoon at the car w/ the pretty bow, sign papers, and then hand...

I love your car! It is gorgeous. Again, so incredibly sorry that you had that experience w/ the Evannex console and that nothing could be done. I got the console in the mail yesterday and I have to admit I am leery about putting it in my car now. I will just have to be very careful and not...

Ah, I am old enough to know the difference and to appreciate the kind words. And yes, I ride. VRSCDX 2008. Only mode of transportation that I will love as much as my Model S...

Unfortunately my job forces me to travel quite often...if I could drive to where I am going, then I most certainly would. It is going to be absolute torture, and I am sure my credit card will be the whipping boy once again. Reading these forums I am surprised that people don't drop code...

YES! I honestly feel like a high school teenager with a crush. It is all-consuming...and I am taking it all out on my poor DS. I stopped covering it up with status updates that should be left for Facebook or Instagram and I just get right to the chase: WHERE IS MY CAR???? (kidding...

Perfection! And I love that someone rated it as "informative" - I about pissed my pants when I read that. This forum = my group therapy

Holy crap - I might just be in love with you for telling me that....

Vent away! I have a feeling we have all been there - pushing aside common sense and focusing only on the fact that our Tesla is not in our grubby little hands. I email my DS every other day inquiring about status. I am pretty sure he has blocked my email / phone number by now (and I cannot say...

....UUUUUGGGGHHHH..... buh bye $500...

Wait, what? What is the 4G LTE you speak of? Is this an addition for the Tesla? *damn, there goes my money*

The fact that the Tesla manufactured console has back cup holders (and would be professionally installed / match) is nice, but I am in the same boat as you with 'extras' that I have already bought and I don't even have the car yet. Shaving off $500+ seemed logical right now for, again, a first...

Oh my. I am so sorry that happened to you, and I hope you get a resolution to this problem. Since this product is not manufactured from Tesla, I don't expect flawless perfection - just a temporary fix to a silly issue (not enough driver accessible storage / easy reach cup holders). I will heed...

Meh, I would but I think that this one will suffice for now. There is a stupid $75 restocking fee for the return of this item. Honestly, all the reviews of the removable console insert have been pretty positive, so for $500 less I guess I will just learn to live with it.

Haha...So true. Forgot that I ordered the Matchbox version of Tessie. It showed up today (unlike my actual Tesla), and my husband just stared at me like I officially lost my damn marbles. I am starting to believe that Tesla has all of our cars ready right when we buy them, and they make...

W Wow! Thank you so much!

This thread is awesome for two reasons: 1. Good to know I am not the only one 2. Makes my psychosis seem average at times ;) I am T-7 days until I take possession of my Tesla. Since I tried to give them all my money I have: - Named my car (Tessie) - Prepped the garage as if I was a...

While I prefer washing my cars myself (OCD), I know that there will be days that I am pressed for time, so I appreciate this page. I wouldn't have thought of looking for the 'best' auto detailer (reason why I love these forums). I live in Alexandria, and it seems as if we have a few spots...

Thanks for posting this link. Unfortunately I have already ordered my Evannex center console. Only benefit is that it is 1/2 the price and I can remove it if necessary. Downside is that most aftermarket items never quite 'fit' as well as something from the car manufacturer.

I have already sent my DS an email with a list of things that I want to have during pickup and that I would prefer to have an 'inspection ready' vehicle opposed to a 'bow-topped vehicle'. I will celebrate while on the road.... :) Again, I appreciate the heads up and everyones input on the CPO...

Thank you! This is such a great list of items to look for. Very appreciative for your post and look forward to making a complete list to send over to my DS today. Pick up is the 27th, so hopefully they have time to really correct the issues all at once.

This is great information. Picking up my CPO 2013 85 in 11 days (not that I am counting, or anything...) and I am quite nervous about taking a vehicle into possession for that kind of money and for never having seen/test-driven it (I test drove the S 85, but not this particular CPO).

AWESOME! Definitely post some pics. T-11 days for me.

Ahhh...just got a date for pick up: 6/27. Not sure if that will stick, but I am going with it for now. ...still seems like forever.... T-12 days.

Tyler was great! I am working with a guy named Nicholas for my delivery. He has been great as well. Just sent him a message asking what type of revamps my CPO will need to have done before I can take ownership (if he has that information). This could give me a slightly better idea as to...

My insurance went up $840, but that is because I still have a Jeep, Harley, and an Audi on there. Selling the Audi and hopefully it will go down a bit.

UGH. I surely hope that isn't an issue with mine. Before I put my deposit down I told Tyler (Tyson's) I had a timeframe that I needed him to work with. Fingers crossed.... And congrats on your Friday pick up! Be sure to post photos!

That is great to hear.... I am only 1 week into waiting, but it feels like a month. Patience is a virtue...said no Tesla customer ever. ;)
