    Model X + Personal Property Tax = Expensive

    Ha. I live in Loudoun County and I agree personal property sucks. Last year I paid right around $40k for all my cars. What a waste of money.

    FSDC release guesses

    As a transportation lobbyist in DC I can tell you that this technology is at least 3-5 years away from full federal approval. That timeline does not even take into account the various state laws although federal law should supersede in most cases. Autonomous driving will not be a major goal of...

    8.0 Homelink(Garage) make a noise when approaching ?

    In concept this was a good idea. Until getting fully used to the beep I will sometimes brake thinking it's the backup camera. Maybe a chime/beep that is not in any way similar to the backup noise.

    V8 and autopilot

    Does anyone else notice that the following distance is now much greater? I've always set AP at one car length. Did the update and went for a drive. Still set on one car length my vehicle remained back roughly 2-3 car lengths. Cars consistently passed me from behind. Not sure why this is...

    Delivery Time for Inventory Vehicle

    May I ask why its in the body shop? In my experience my sales person would provide me with actual detailed information about the delay in delivery (actually what was being repaired) as opposed to the delivery specialist who was very vague and would stick to the "we are bringing the vehicle up to...

    Delivery Time for Inventory Vehicle

    I did take delivery of my P90D inventory vehicle. Just like you, I was also quoted 2 weeks for delivery. Mine was coming from Cape Cod to the DC area. By the end of it all I received the vehicle one month and one day from the date of deposit. I was also not happy to receive the news from the...

    Model X Depreciation....WoW!

    This is exactly why I leased. I've been burned too many times with "hot" vehicles - especially AMG vehicles.

    Tesla service center will not NOT install aftermarket wheels

    I use Abe with Designo Motoring in Sterling, VA. He does all of the auto work for Skins, Wizards and Caps players so you know you can trust him. He does everything in house - wheels, xpel, wraps, sound, etc. Tell him Esposito sent you and he will take care of you.

    Inventory Vehicle Purchase - Warning

    Then how come they decided on their own to fix scuffs on the black wheels but not an obvious chip on the hood? Please explain why one is determined to be "wear and tear" but not the other.

    Inventory Vehicle Purchase - Warning

    Reply from Delivery Specialist - "Inventory vehicles are sold “as-is”. The showroom discount accounts for any wear & tear, such as paint defects like described below. Tesla uses a formula based on time, mileage & condition to determine these discounts. Anything that falls outside of this we...

    Inventory Vehicle Purchase - Warning

    I purchased an inventory vehicle that had roughly 1,500 miles on it. Fully loaded minus towing package. Discount of $5,000. Delivery took an extra few weeks to "bring the vehicle up to Tesla standards" which included repairing two of the black wheels that had scuffs/curb rash. When the day...

    You need to turn the feature on in the menu system. When I took delivery the function was turned to off.

    First Trip Question

    I finally received my inventory P90D last week after exactly one month and one day wait. I will be going on a short trip for Memorial Day weekend up to Lancaster, PA from Northern Virginia. The trip is roughly 125 miles each way. I will be heading up on Friday and staying through Monday. From...

    The Day Hath Arrived

    I jinxed myself. Got a call this evening telling me that when they were doing a final review of the vehicle they found something wrong with the charging mechanism. Had to order a part and won't have it till next week. Probably won't get to pick up the car till late next week. Bummer. Not sure if...

    The Day Hath Arrived

    Excited to announce that my Model X has made its way from MA to VA and I will be picking it up tomorrow. This forum has been invaluable over the last few weeks of impatiently waiting. Any advise for delivery?

    Annoyed at Tesla Retail Store... referral codes

    My sales guy asked if I had a referral code. I was going to pull one up from this website but he asked if I would mind if he used his. I didn't think anything of it since I don't personally know anyone who has a Tesla. I assume it was a friend/good customer of his. Also, what do you mean by "2...

    Delivery Time for Inventory Vehicle

    I think the big delay is getting them inspected, brought to new car standards and scheduled for delivery. They have to schedule all of this around ordered deliveries and regular service issues for existing customers.

    Quality and Drive Experience with inventory Model X?

    I've been waiting for 3 weeks to get my inventory X. If you are purchasing one from outside of your area be prepared to wait. I was originally told it would be no more than 2 weeks but I'm still waiting and its only a few states away (not clear across the country). My discount was around $5,500...

    Delivery Time for Inventory Vehicle

    Yeah, I tried that approach but would get a message back that the service center "will not be able to accommodate a delivery." I'm in Northern Virginia and the vehicle is coming from Dedham, Massachusetts. I can hop on a plane and be there in two hours but they don't seem to want me to do that.

    Can't help you much with the audio improvements but just wanted to chime in and say how incredible your ride looks wrapped in pink. Saw a few pics on Instagram and was highly impressed. Bravo!

    Delivery Time for Inventory Vehicle

    Just wondering the experience others have had with the timing of delivery for an inventory vehicle. I was originally told 2 weeks - so I plopped down my $2500. Got an email a few days after deposit from the individual coordinating delivery who said it was looking more like 3-4 weeks. Its...

    What Should I do? Dealer Inventory or Used?

    All - thanks for your feedback - much appreciated. I believe you have convinced me to wait on the dealer inventory car. I happened to get an email this morning stating that they have "begun the process for arranging transport." The vehicle will be coming from New England area to Northern...

    MX XPEL seat backs. Worth it?

    Given that these are in kit form now has anyone tried to apply themselves? Wondering if its that difficult a job. I tried once to do an XPEL front bumper kit on a GT350 and quickly realized I was out of my league.

    What Should I do? Dealer Inventory or Used?

    Would like the opinion of forum members. First, I have little patience in terms of waiting to purchase a vehicle so ordering is not an option. My local dealership has located a fully loaded black on black that would be here by the end of the month. I provided them with the $2,500 deposit and...

    Dealer Inventory - Delay for Refurbished Rims

    Placed an order a week ago for a dealer inventory P90D. It was located a few states away so was told it would take two weeks for delivery. Received an update yesterday that it will be more like 4 weeks because 2/4 rims needed to be refurbished due to curb rash. Shouldn't they have been replaced...

    New Inventory - Rear Facing Seats Option

    I've been looking constantly on the CPO site to try and find a new Model S on the lot with rear facing seats. I have yet to see one. Is the option just not listed or is it something that is difficult to find and I'd have to order? I'm looking for a fully optioned 2016.
