Thank you all for the discussion. Sold for $67k to a tax-paying, law-abiding citizen.

Thanks! I ended up asking lawyers about this, here's an answer advising strongly against it: I am trying to sell my (expensive) car, but the - Q&A - Avvo

I had a buyer back out last minute today, because we disagreed on something: they wanted to put a smaller amount on the bill of sale, in order to avoid taxes. I am not comfortable with that. Anyone in the Bay Area want to do the transaction tomorrow (Tuesday) at a great price, well, PM me your...

Sorry for the delay, here are a few interior shots from today:

Indeed, I do care about the general public's feelings, hence my disclosure. I have also found out first hand how fragile aluminum bodies can be, the damage looks a lot worse than it actually is. Same exact reason why you see absolutely totaled Teslas and wonder how people walked away alive. And...

Here are some photos. Not very recent, because I just drove to San Diego and back, and haven't had a chance to wash. The two photos on the Oregon Coast are from late July, which was after the door incident.

No, sorry about that.

That's hilarious.

It's a dent, it's just a big dent, because: aluminum. The door got replaced, nothing structural whatsoever, and that's the end of the story – I think you're looking for controversy where there's none. Also, I am fully aware that I posted that picture at the time of the incident, but hey...

Bay Area: Model S 90D 2016 December - AP 2.0 - unlimited supercharging - 13k miles

Thanks for the info! I also just got it appraised at CarMax today, they are offering $62k cash for it. I am attaching a screenshot of the MVPA. Edit: it has been kept in a garage.

Hi all, Today I decided to sell my Tesla in order to boost down payment on a condo purchase. I have no idea what the market is right now, so hit me with your best offer. Copy of MVPA & photos coming soon, hopefully. - Silver - Grey leather seats, now discontinued as an option: one of the few...

https://i.imgur.com/Zf8Xbj8.jpg It was an unfortunate incident and yes, it was my fault – quite bummed so I'll leave it at that. Don't know yet whether I should go through insurance or not. My premium is already on the high side, and I already have a previous claim (small rear window got...

I strongly support this motion. At least for the first year or so, you'll enjoy driving your own darn Tesla anyway. During that time, I'm sure AP will have advanced enough to plunk down some cash for.

Sorry in advance if this has already been discussed, ran a search to no avail. I've seen a brief video posted by a good samaritan here, can't find it right now, that shows how you can make your car drive as if it's a lower performance model. So, I can drive my 90D like a 75D, 75, 60D, or 60...

I'm no expert, but $64k sounds like a pretty great deal to me. OP, sorry about your mother in law, best of luck to y'all.

Y'all just made me happy again. Thanks!

Got my relatively bare-bones 90D last Monday. Gray next gen seats, pano, metallic silver, that's it. My goal was range & performance instead of a loaded 60/75. Overall, very happy with the decision, except... With the cold temperatures over the weekend here in the Bay Area, I realized I should...

I'd try to find a way to stretch the budget a little more and get the 90D.

I'd be interested in this. Went with the standard dark ash wood, didn't feel like shelling out $1k for CF. For the right price, I think it looks much better.

This is similar to how I reasoned myself into / justified a brand new 90D. I was originally looking at CPO 85. Then I realized I might as well get a brand new 60 or 60D, with AP2.0 hardware which will be relevant for many years. 75 or 75D was never really a consideration for me, since I could...

Is there a downside to keeping creep on, regarding regen or efficiency or anything?

Nice, thanks for the tip. So, do we know for a fact that the changes you make on your computer affect the stream quality in the car? I'm guessing you noticed a difference?

Yes, that's what's happening to me as well. I didn't want to wait anymore and an inventory similar to my build popped up. I didn't get the $3K discount, though. Just a showroom discount of $100.

Yes, that's exactly the million $ question: if I buy with a loan and sell at the 3 year mark, what's a realistic amount I can sell it for?

@calisnow Haha, no worries. While I very much appreciate the trouble you took to type this all up for me, I doubt I would come to a crazy different conclusion. Roughly speaking, buying will cost ~$95k, and leasing for 3 years will cost ~$55k.

Fully agree, zero regrets, I'm ecstatic – but still trying to decide whether I should buy or lease.

Yes, this is yet another "Lease vs buy" thread, albeit slightly disguised. First, back story: On 10/23 I placed an order for a very lightly optioned new AP2 hardware 90D, confirmed on 11/1. Although, I'm not activating EAP yet. Silver metallic and sunroof, that's it. Going with textile seats...

What did you order? Color, options, battery size etc.

Let's get this started – please share if you notice any changes or good rates. Getting back the Q3 Alliant rates would be awesome.

Yes.

Which one, the 90D with AP2 hardware, or the P85D?

Perhaps superficial, but my only issue is that I'm just not a fan of this bright red. I can appreciate the performance, but I much prefer low-key colors such as grey, silver etc. Then again, I'm also a sucker for a good deal. What do you think makes the P85D such a superior vehicle? I know...

And while we are at it... How would you feel about leasing this one: 85 kWh Performance Model S 5YJSA1H27EFP62719 | Tesla It's the only inventory P85D, with 17k+ miles on it, with a $38k+ discount. Considering leasing it, mainly because it's AP1.

Model S 90D 5YJSA1E24GF167396 | Tesla What's up with this one? I wonder why they are selling it as-is, without activating / charging for EAP.

It's the Fremont factory, and it seems like us Bay Area folks get the short end of the stick as Tesla prioritizes other markets early in the quarter, and makes a big push out of Fremont towards the end.

Thanks again. One thing: did you do this during your one-week change period before locking in the configuration, or after?

I was wondering, do they let you switch to an inventory car that's close enough to what you have on order? That sounds like a ridiculous wait time.

I ordered an S 90D on 10/24. Confirmed on 11/1. As of today, delivery still appears as "December - Early January 2017". After multiple inquiries, my owner advisor said they had a "calculated" delivery date of 12/22, which I don't see on MyTesla. So, almost a whole month and still no actual...

Would you mind expanding on this, and which location? I want to believe.

Speaking of this, how do y'all feel about covers while parked on the street? Does it bring more attention than needed?

Just wanted to congratulate you on the awesome username, fellow Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels fan. And I agree on the need for a more accurate range estimate.

May I ask what your source is for this?

I feel like I'm in the minority here, but wanted to see if there are others out there who think and purchase in a similar way. And of course I'm open to hearing others' reasoning as to why they might disagree. After lots of thought, I ended up going with a Model S 90D and went very light on the...

When did you place your order, if you don't mind me asking?

Exactly my thoughts. My S90D will be delivered in December with AP2.0 hardware, but I'm not paying for any of it yet. I opted for spending more towards the range (hence the choice of 90D), and if/when the tech becomes great, I can turn it on via credit card and get some points on that purchase.

That would be really nice. I'm taking delivery of a 90D some time in December. It has a VIN but it hasn't gone into production yet. It's already unicorn-ish having long range with AP2 & unlimited free Supercharging. If they told me during delivery "Oh by the way, this is a software limited...

Thank you sir, much appreciate these important details.

Voted yes. 1) I can see lots of folks answering yes to this. I already have a Costco membership as a single male living alone. I love everything about Costco and I'm happy to support them. 2) This would be amazing, but I don't see it happening. I'd be extremely happy if time proved me wrong.

For better visibiliy and sharing some of the good deals we all come across, I wanted to start this new thread. To recap, currently: - Alliant stands at 1.99% for 60 & 72 months, 2.24% for 78 - Energy Federal gets you 1.43% for 60 months: Auto Rates :: Rates :: Energy...
