Messaged you!

I have a 2013 Model S with a panoramic sunroof and I cannot figure out whether I can still get a roof rack installed, but we need one for an upcoming trip (to put a box on). It looks like Tesla no longer sells or installs these—is that just because they don’t make the pano sunroof anymore, or...

I just got my second nail in the front passenger tire in three months and when I had the first repaired at Tesla in late feb., they noted that my front tires are at tread level 4 and I should consider replacing them. (Rears are at 7). I just looked up when I got my 19” Quietracks… May 20, 2020...

I've got a CPO S and I love it. I'm wrestling hard with whether to trade it in for a dual motor all wheel drive 3 or not, but I probably can't afford both. I was wondering the same thing about price, because my current loan has such low interest. The problem is that now that I have an S, I'm...

I got my configuration email 2/4 and am waiting on the dual motor as well. My estimator currently says mid-2018.

Had some scratches on my rear bumper, but was living with them. However, this am I backed into a friend's car... and now there's a decent puncture wound on the bumper. I'm going to swing by an autobody shop tonight but thought I'd ask you pros first. What's the going rate for a replacement...

Having trouble with my HPWC/Dual charging 2013 Model S. We've had a cold snap but I'm not sure if that's related (under 32 deg F). I don't ever use anything but the HPWC--if the issue is cold related it would have to be with the onboard inverters or the HPWC nozzle (warning: I am bad with the...

That's a great idea--let us know how many you get!

Popped mine in there--hoping this is still working :) I didn't ever think I'd get a single referral but a friend ordered and now I'm super greedy for a duffel bag or... gulp... a JACKET!

This is super helpful! I may just take the plunge on that box. I can't believe how roomy the storage is in the S. I almost doubt that the X has any more space. That car looks so happy under those suds :)

It is really close to black. I have preschoolers that basically got into an argument with me about the color :) But I love it. It reminds me of open water at night.

UM YES. I am a huge fan and I'm actually not sure why they haven't considered this (if they haven't). Hoping the futurism didn't die with Walt, and a Tesla partnership would be exactly in line with their past operations (partnering with innovating companies). It would also be a really cool...

Can't remember if I responded to this so forgive any dupes but mine took the full three weeks-- I reserved 6/28 and got it 7/25 (although I think it was ready on 7/22). They put on new wheels and a new bumper. I know I was SUPER impatient but I think the time they spend adding replacements or...

JPUConn -- Haha I love that your life looks like ours :) Three DIonos and kids toys everywhere... and yet you've got a TESLA!!!!! We're making parenting cool :)

So I had this same dilemma with a three week wait time. In the end I ordered the wall charger, and determined that I would fill up at the nearest supercharger (12 miles away) like a gas station in the interim, and 'trickle charge' off of my garage wall outlet or use the dryer outlet (convenient...

Looking at the Wet Okole seat protectors, it occurred to me that I don't know if any of these rear seat covers are compatible with child seat installation (i.e. have holes for the latch system). And no, I cannot sell the children for money to buy that fancy center console. Not sure if I'm...

Wrestling with this--was considering the cheaper silicone models but then saw this on the tesla website. Not sure if I miss the center console yet--enjoying having all that space free. Decisions, decisions...

That just hurts to see! As an aside, hope everyone was ok,

It's a legit hobby :)

Had the HPWC installed yesterday by the tesla certified electrician around here. However, I got a message on my car dash saying something along the lines of "bad wiring or extension cord. charging speed reduced". That said, it's charging at a 49 mi/hr 225 V 71/72 amp rate. The rate doesn't...

Exactly what I meant :) Hard to pretend it's not used when it says 43k up there. Yes, in three days I have already added over 600 miles. I plan to DRIVE this thing. The car is so fast it's surreal. The acceleration feels like you're in a roller coaster or wearing a jet pack or something. I...

We've made it to Harrisburg PA... so far learning curve items have been the cruise control, remembering how to use the remote (two clicks for unlock) and figuring out how to unplug the supercharger plug (unlock the car). Grabbed lunch in Allentown, enjoying a Starbucks Granita here in...

It's mine... alllll mineee.... Will write more when I get home but pickyp in Devon was even smoother than it should have been. The staff (Bryan in particular) was amazing. The green is far far prettier in person than in pictures. The car is a minimalist dream. In fact, looking at it I switched...

In case anyone is still talking financing, I went with a national bank that has special rate discounts for 'green' vehicles. I got a rate in the low twos. Shop around.

You have far more restraint than I. I'm pretty sure if they confirm my car is ready on Friday like it is supposed to be, I am going to have to use every ounce of willpower not to skip my two year old's birthday party.

For some delusional reason we thought it'd be easier and save taxes to do it as a trade in (it's a BMW in great shape but it's got over 100k miles) but yeah. Lesson learned here. I could still just go to CarMax and take their check for the same amount, but it would cost $1500 or so in additional...

Ok SO IRRITATED even though I know I need to be patient. Supposed to pick up my 'probably ready on Monday' CPO. Per CPO specialist/DS/website, I promptly get my trade in appraised at local carmax (1.5 hrs and paying a sitter), send them the info. Put the car in the garage, have not touched it...

I feel you, I'm getting a ride 6 hours east... although I am about 10 miles from a service center here, my CPO is not, and I am saving that $750 for the HPWC install.

Tell us all about this car of yours!

I like him tons too! He is officially the person who replies the fastest :) Looks like I am on for a Monday pickup... I am just dying to meet this car. Saw both a blue and a red Model S this week in my hometown... can't wait to join them. Funny that there are so many now! And here I was hoping...

This makes me feel better :) Ok now back to waiting :)

Ohhh can I play? I still haven't been given the go-ahead for pickup, so I could lose a thousand to save a bunch... I have been watching the prices drop too. Below--deal or no deal? 2013 85 kWh Model S with 42k miles for $56k Green Metallic Paint All Glass Panoramic Roof 19" Silver Cyclone...

ok Chaitu... did you snag a different one or are you just waiting? I was enjoying not being the only one in limbo! At least my loan was approved and my electrician is coming out to install the HPWC Monday. That will feel like progress.

I actually got it today 7/14.

Is this a "should-have" or "must-have" or totally optional? I've heard a lot of people mention memberships to ChargePoint, and although I doubt I'll need it anywhere around home, would it be handy just to have in the back pocket? I will have the dual chargers on my S...

Just emailed Tamarack Art Center, one of our favorite road trip breaks, in Beckely, WV and they indicated that while they don't have a charging station currently, they are looking into it. Oh please oh please oh please.... Also emailed the Marietta Ohio chamber of Commerce and Cabela's in...

Pipestem is 30 min away from 77, so it might add 1.5 hrs between driving there and charging--just an hr if you consider you'd have to charge somewhere. That's currently my plan for trips to FL/SC

BOOYAH!!! How awesome is that!! So excited for you :)

At least I have company!!! Looks like my pickup will be 7/25 or 7/26ish. Booked a hotel in the Philly area and then realized that it's the DNC. HPWC is supposed to be delivered today and will probably be installed Monday, so that's progress, right? Makin' it real!

I thought this one was a pretty good deal, although not CPO-- we went out to Fort Wayne to test drive it back on mothers day but it was listed higher--ironically they dropped it to right about the price we offered. It's in good shape and drove like a dream when we went but we couldn't agree on a...

just an FYI if anyone is waiting on the new backordered HPWC--I ordered 6/30 and just got a notice it should arrive tomorrow. They estimated three weeks.

Hahaha exactly, friends and family who don't trust them battery powered new fangled machines. My mom is mystified as to what happens when you run out of charge despite my explanation of how very widespread this novel stuff called 'electricity' has become, and the crazy technology used---a plug...

Just FYI for you all who are getting a CPO and installing a new outlet/charger, not sure how this credit works or if it will apply to you but it's been renewed. I am not an accountant or tax atty but check out the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit.

Is this the credit in question? If so, it was renewed and will be useful to new CPO owners even if they don't get the $7500 credit. Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Tax Credit NOTE: This incentive originally expired on December 31, 2013, but was retroactively extended through December 31, 2016...

Exactly--not gonna lie, I was originally considering a base model X but I live in Ohio, so some of the sub zero features are actually safety features for me. Then I looked at the lower priced new Model S 60 base but once I added a modest spec or two I ended up with an $80k car again. Since no...

Anyone else get barraged with Tesla doubters while waiting for their car? I'm not saying I am getting cold feet but getting sent a million questionable links about any negative Tesla news story (which there are apparently a billion of) is starting to get to me. Oh, my future Tesla. I won't...

Found a car on texas direct that has about 20k less miles and one year newer than the CPO I have a deposit on and is the same price-- it's got the rear seats but no dual chargers. Thoughts? Are the dual chargers and the CPO guarantee worth the extra 20k miles? Also, what are some must-haves I...

Any word on what their CPO rate would be? I'll have to get serious about this tomorrow!

Hmmmm.... that one is tempting just because I'd save 11k.... but alas I think I'm wedded to the green & 85kwh mentally now. My DS said I will likely be united with my beauty in PA by 7/22. They're replacing a bumper and the wheels according to my DS, and apparently they don't have one of the...

She's gorgeous :)
