So I was driving and hit a concrete obstruction in the road (about 3 inches tall or so) with my fairly new 21" Arachnid referral wheelset, blowing out both left hand tires (front and rear). After getting the tires replaced, the tire place says the rims have a slight bend to them, thus giving...

That is awesome.

Yeah the DS told me when I placed the order that my file was marked with "deliver no later than 21 July." If I was running a high end car company and mis managed production on a 2.5 month lead time product, I would find a way to get it from CA to the east coast in less than 30 days.

Yeah they waited until the day after I completed payment online (another long story) to even tell me it wouldn't make the 21 July delivery. So I realize I have no real bargaining power other than the fact my DS knows I won't stop pestering him until I get an acceptable response :)

I reached out to the DS, will see what he says in the morning. The S is my transportation to haul me and a bunch of junk down to FL, so hopefully it's ready by the time I need to depart. It's just frustrating that my timeline was the biggest reason I went new instead of used. If I knew the...

When I ordered my S and X two months ago, I informed both the DC City Center store and CA sales staff that I needed to take delivery on 21 July due to a move from Alaska to Florida with a brief stop in the DC area to visit family. Everyone informed me that this would be fine since I was...

hello all, I ordered my S and X about 2 months ago with the delivery date of 21 July due to a move. After numerous back and forths on other issues, finally got everything straightened out with production. The X is ready for delivery in DC on the desired date. Now, however, the S completed...

I got a similar email, but saying that once the order er takes delivery, the prize will ship. I also haven't heard anything about the program ending 15 June. My OA said the previous referral program was not cumulative, you could only get one item that you qualified for. Anyone have...

Agree with the logic, but still prefer the aviation lingo of calling it a "mishap," since at that point, it really doesn't matter whether it was intentional, negligent, accidental, etc.

So I just thought about this, the contract states that they "may also cancel your order and refund your deposit if we discontinue a product, feature or option after the time you place your order." About two weeks ago, the DS called me, told me they were giving me a free upgrade to the 75D with...

DS told me the only way to get the 60 with metal roof is to take delivery in June. Somehow I don't see how Tesla not wanting to store the completed vehicle for a month now becomes my problem. If it's cheaper for them to not store it for a month and instead give me the "free" battery capacity...

I agree somewhat with the sentiment. However, for my once every 3 year trek across the country for a long distance move (FL to CA is pretty common), the extra 30 miles is pretty negligible. Especially since charging rates near the top of the 75 are so much slower than the first 80% (which is...

Fair enough on the extra KWH. The fair thing to me still seems to be software limiting my battery to "60" vice "75." The question then comes down to whether it costs Tesla more than $1500 to do the software limitation after they have apparently stopped doing that. If it costs them more than...

Buying and I plan to keep both the S and the X for around 10 years. It was really the only way I could justify $200k worth of cars. So resale is not a huge concern especially since 10 years down the road, both will be worth quite little I would imagine.

Yes, I only found out doing the math on the invoice sheet. Which was even more sneaky because the original contract was "before tax credit" dollars and the second invoice was "after tax credit." Granted its a simple $7500 subtraction, but still makes the numbers "look different," making it...

This is excellent feedback, I really appreciate it. If I can't get some manner of decent resolution (don't see how hard a software limited 60 is for a company that can make FSD work), I will probably do the no PUP option.

I understand that there are people who game the system. However, I spoke with Tesla reps for months prior to placing the order to make sure my timeline would work. My timeline is pretty specific due to my move from Alaska to Florida, which is the main reason I went new instead of used on the S...

Y Yeah that is my thought. Especially since the S75 doesn't cost them anything extra compared to the S60. I don't want to cancel since I do want the car... just not for $1500 more than the agreed upon price.

The most annoying part of the whole thing, when my DS told me they were changing to the S75 about two weeks ago, he said original price would stay. Two weeks later, he sent the final price invoice, which had the price increase. Now he claims that I have to pay to upgrade and don't have an...

The solid roof went away from the design studio on 16 April, they didn't mention anything until mid may that it was a problem for me.

They are telling me the added cost is for the battery upgrade. I also can't see why the software limit isn't an option. I can't see how the "60" decal for the trunk is such an issue. I had the PUP, so liftgate was there anyway. On my X100D, they discontinued the low amp charger, so they added...

Until/unless they get enough real estate to hold cars for up to a month like traditional dealers do, people buying 60-150K vehicles expect to have some say in when they can pick them up. A business person who travels a lot can order a BMW 750li, factory gets it to the dealership, and the...

Yeah we're moving to Flordia, granted I may come back here at some point, but we're getting an X100D for the family car. The S will be my commuter mobile, so don't really need the extra range.

Essentially, they are forcing me to get the present price structure S75, which comes with the glass roof. I ordered the S60 because I don't need the extra range.

So I agree that the glass roof became standard and they don't want to hold the aluminum roof. I'm frankly indifferent about the roof. However, a software limited battery? I don't see how they can't software limit my battery and give me the glass roof for the originally agreed price? I talked...

Hi all, So I ordered a 60D Model S on 10 April before the 60 KWH cutoff, delivery scheduled for 21 July due to my moving situation (currently live in Alaska, Permanent Change of Station move to east coast). Tesla is now telling me that they won't have parts available for the 60D with solid...

Thanks for the info. I was thinking primarily power to keep the trailer battery topped up, but sounds like the pin wouldn't be sufficient for running a medium to large inverter. Thanks for the help!

So random somewhat technical question... is the 12v power lead on the trailer 7 pin connector switched or always on? If it stays always on, it could be a convenient way to keep a travel trailer powered during dry/boondock camping for extended trips. If we could arrive at the site with the MX...

So EVANNEX (which is a Lloyd retailer, same mat products as other Lloyd retailers) has the large cargo mat for seats folded flat (see picture red shape) They also have the small cargo area (see picture black shape) However, I have not seen any option for something like the seat backs only when...

Yeah, same Lloyd mats as the other retailers offer. They have read cargo and entire back with rear seats folded, but nothing in-between.

I just placed my X100D order and am looking to get frunk and trunk mats to protect the stock (non-removable) carpet in these areas. In my previous volt, I used the Lloyd Ultimat, which I have been really happy with, and plan to do this again. However, for the 6/7 seat version, they only sell...

With all of this talk about ideal charge percentages, i'm curious where the software limited S60 fits into the mix. Since the current S60 has the 75 KWh battery and limits capacity (80 percent for you math majors), this changes the equation. 1. Does anyone know which 80 percent of the 75 KWh...
