    Florida Waiting Room

    My EDD moved to "October". I texted my SA. He looked and said they expect it mid-September. Next thing I know, EDD now says 9/7-9/27.

    Florida Waiting Room

    Just ordered Blue/White MYLR, no-tow, Gemini wheels. Said August to September. This will be my third Tesla, but my first fresh from the factory. Trying to take advantage of higher used car values vs. relatively static new car pricing. One advantage of the no-dealer model is "market value...

    Anyone wondering about the "Coming Soon" Supercharger Stations in Florida?

    FYI, there are new chargers at Jupiter Medical Center (I haven't seen them yet, my wife reported them as I'm a patient). I had a hand in convincing JMC to install chargers in the guest parking lot, not just the employee lot. Also, there are Chargepoint chargers at Alton. I agree that the Aldi...

    AP1 ONLY Please -- life after 2018.50.6

    I scheduled service for my car for the browser and voice issues. I have others as well, but thought I'd get those taken care of. They supposedly sent me an update, but that didn't do anything. The voice control works after the first failure. The browser is just terrible.

    Anyone wondering about the "Coming Soon" Supercharger Stations in Florida?

    The Pilot. Looks about halfway there. I was on the move, so I didn't study it. There's lots of space. It makes perfect sense.

    Anyone wondering about the "Coming Soon" Supercharger Stations in Florida?

    Went past yeehaw junction today. One of the two gas stations has been demo'd and it looks like they're building a big travel center. My money says that's where the yeehaw charger is going . Since there's no penalty for on/off at yeehaw, it makes sense to build a big one there for relief of fort...

    Starting the "Used" Process - Shipping from CA to East Coast

    Put down my money yesterday to trade my 2013 P85 for a 2016 90D. I have low expectations since I bought my current car through the old CPO program, which was great as far as the car's condition went, but terrible in terms of communication. After making the deposit, I got a congratulations...

    Recommendations for Wrap/Tint in Palm Beach / Broward County Areas

    I have had more than a dozen cars tinted by Marlon at Florida Window Tinting. Florida Window Tinting | Lake Park, FL Marlon is the owner. Computer controlled cuts. Make sure to get the clear UV film for your windshield.

    Tint question

    my bet would be the angle of the sun hitting the glass. It's more perpendicular to the rear glass than the side window. But I'm a liberal arts major, so take that with a grain of salt.

    Model S owners who have blacked out chrome trim/handles/etc

    I used the RPM Tesla products on my car. Red logo on the frunk, CF on the side indicators, handles and B Pillars. Red "TESLA" lettering on the chrome trunk trim. I like the look. My avatar picture is before I did anything.

    Model S owners who have blacked out chrome trim/handles/etc

    Here are some unartful pictures of the black on red. I also did the hub caps. Everything was from www.rpmtesla.com I've been toying with the idea of blacking out the door trim and window sills as well as the mirror mounts. This is all the vinyl carbon fiber look.

    CPO with Dent in Liftgate? Do I Proceed?

    My hood had the crease on the front edge from being closed incorrectly. They replaced the hood. I wish they would have given me the car to drive until it was repaired. However, it wasn't even cleaned or detailed. It did take about 5 weeks for delivery. And, by the way, no useful updates on...

    My workaround is to stream from my phone and run the Android app Readittome. This mostly works.

    Will I be happy with a complete base MS60?

    Like you, I just got out of a 2011 5 series with 31K miles. I went the CPO route because I wanted the bigger battery and I knew I'd save money. I wasn't that concerned about AP. My 2013 P85 has pano, leather, tech, MXM tires and not much else. New it was over 100K. I got it for 57K with...

    Memory seat(s) - I'm not crazy

    I believed when I bought my car that I thought it had "memory seats" - plural. But when I took delivery, I just thought I had lost my mind. I have the Tech package, 11/13 build. I was just looking at the CPO inventory out of curiosity and the Tech Package description clearly says "memory...

    "Rear Motor Disabled"

    Which was really inconvenient, since I only have a rear motor. Car was flatbedded to SC. Wrecker operator has a 2013 Model S, so we talked about that. Now have a P85+ loaner. I'm thinking a new DU is in my future.

    What would the insurance premium be for self drive?

    I think the bigger issue is going to be Tesla's own liability. If the car is making life/death decisions with no input from you, will Tesla be on the hook if it makes choice A over choice B. The old "run over the old lady or into a crowd of schoolchildren" choice. That may be something that...

    Current Pre-Owned/Used Market changes after AP 2.0

    The CPO pricing seems to have dropped somewhat. Even though I already own my car, I like to look.

    So... did my APv1 car just get shot in the head?

    I'll wait a few years and buy a CPO AP 2.0 car. Problem solved.

    Electricians Ripping Off EV Owners

    $250 for a 14-50 installed in my garage about a foot below one of my two panels. I have done electrical work before, but never in or around the box or with 220. I know the principles are the same, but I just felt better having it done by a pro.

    CPO delivery question

    I tell people that I have a brand new car with $30K miles on it and a four year warranty. Keep buying the new ones, please. I might want to get an AP car in a few years. ;)

    CPO delivery question

    there was just a long post in one of the Facebook groups about this. There is a bracket that mounts under the front valance. Then there is an adhesive pad behind the bracket that attaches to the nosecone. Some have just ripped the bracket off the bottom. Others used bent nose pliers to...

    My late night drive home.

    So my flight was delayed over an hour, so I landed at midnight and got in my CPO 2013 P85 around 12:20 or so. And I thought to myself "boy wouldn't it be nice to have Auto Pilot" for the hour plus drive home after a long day. These types of days don't happen that often, but maybe there's an AP...

    Tesla will match Carmax price

    I got the CarMax appraisal on my car and listed it in my usually-successful sites, Craigslist, BMWCCA and Autotrader. Not a nibble. I thought BMWCCA for sure, as my car was a sport package 535 with a 6-speed. I think the manuals are truly dying, at least in anything other than a true "sports...

    CPO Pre-Purchase Questions

    My experience was this - I made my deposit and got the initial flurry of emails, including the one to set up the My Tesla account. Then I waited. I was told 3 to 6 weeks because they were replacing some cosmetic parts (I know the hood was one of them). I started getting a little impatient...

    My conversation with a BMW salesman

    Follow-up - I left the dealership and returned about 15 minutes later. One of the issues I had was an intermittent noise, which was not evident when I arrived, showed up on my way home. I returned and that same salesman was in the service drive. He pulled me aside and told me that he should...

    What's changed since MY2013?

    The sensors are round dots on the bumper cover and nosecone on the front. On the rear, there are four round dots as well. If you have pics of the bumpers, that would show them.

    Insurance On Model S?

    I agree on Costco/Ameriprise. They no longer write new policies in Florida, but will write for existing policyholders. I just added my Model S in exchange for my 2011 535 and my annual premium increased by about $200. for 500K coverage, my model S costs just under $1,200 per year including...
