You are so right. I'm getting quotes for the electrical work now but I may have the car for a week or so before the work can be completed. Luckily I can stop at the SC in Newburgh NY o the way home to "fill up" until the work is done. I also scheduled the tint work ( Huper Optik) to occur...

Trust me I've been practicing since before the "Model S" was in production. At least 5 years :)

I went to the "Dealership" on Route 17 in Paramus, NJ. They are a full service center and they also sell certified Pre-Owned models there as well. (8) Super chargers are available at this location (Paramus-Route 17 | Tesla Motors)

Midnight Silver Metallic w/ Black seats and headliner

I'd like to thank everyone for their input. After digesting everything I decided to go to the Tesla dealership to talk to someone. They were very nice (I guess you have to be to sell a $100K car ;) ). While I was there the rep suggest that I look at a 70D instead of a 75D. It has all of the...

I though the same thing at first but none of my previous cars (Audi, BMW and currently Acura) have that option and I'm fine. The car will be Garage kept and I will definitely utilizing the preheating feature when it's parked outside at the office. Heated front seats are standard on the Model S...

I thought about this as well but my thought process is that I would save about @ 10 years (@ 20 years left) if I continue to drive the car I have today and pay the down the mortgage. The thing is I don't know if I will still have the same commute in 10 years and it will be harder to justify a...

Autopilot is not a big deal for me. Since I'm ordering the car in late October (for Late November/Early December Delivery) I may have whatever upgrade he may discuss. But if not it's fine with me. The current car has more than enough to keep me satisfied. The options I'm considering are: 75D...

I respect your honesty. Not taking it that way at all. I may have used the wrong term by stating "Justify" I probably should have used "Help me feel more comfortable with this purchase". As I stated earlier I would never put this amount of money into a vehicle normally. So I need some...

I'm about 70 miles from the city upstate NY (Dutchess County). I looked at the 60D but there will be days that I have to drive to our office that is in central jersey. On those days my commute will be @ 110 miles each way (I must be crazy right ;) ) but I really like my job, kids are older and...

I was originally lokking for a CPO. But since I live upstate I need all wheel drive (horrible inters at times) and most of the Model D cars are 82K to 88K. My thought process is that I might as well spend the extra 5K and get the car in the color with the options I want.

I would prefer to put it just in my name (We may want to use her income one day to pickup some investment property just in her name). All of the other debt is in both of our names (Excluding student loans). And to be honest we did not go through this exercise when picking up her vehicle (We...

I understand that. But my reasoning is that since the loan is paid off and the 14K I would have spent on the old car will now go towards the MS. The value I quoted for the car was actually the trade in value. It's no big deal if I have to 1K to 2K extra during trade in to make up the difference.

Thank you for your input. I don't really have doubts per say. I'm just a little taken back by spending such a large amount of money on a car. It's not an asset that will appreciate in value but I can't overlook the numbers when I consider the distance I drive. Now if I drove only 100 to 300...

We have @ 2000 per month available after all expenses (food, utilities, etc) are paid. Put away @ 35-40K per year towards retirement, and we @ $400K+ in retirement fund. We are in our mid-forties. We have one kid going to college in 2 years but that fund is separate and is funded well for a good...

We do not have much revolving debt (We pay in full on a weekly basis so the minimum payment may appear when the statement genereates but it's usually @ $25 per card). The majority of out debt is the house (The taxes are combine with my mortgage and appear that way on my credit report (@3K per...

Hello Everyone, I am new to the forum but have been following Tesla since the roadster. I'm looking to order a Model S 75D later this year (About September for hopefully November delivery) but I'm trying to justify the purchase. This will be the most expensive vehicle I have ever purchased...
