    2020 Demo Long Range Model S White/Black 1600 miles Utah save $7690

    Silly question, but assuming federal rebates can't be taken for demos since they've already been taken? Thanks!

    $50k Deposit

    I can assure you those of us who chose to part with $50K understand that it's a deposit toward the full purchase price. I'm not sure I understand the point you are trying to make.

    Supercharger - Carlsbad, CA (7710 El Camino Real, LIVE 27 Sep 2018, 26 urban stalls)

    As of 2pm today: At least 10 chargers were marked off with tape and a few other were working intermittently. Didn't get more than 36 kW - any idea what's going on here that put so many of these out of commission?

    Supercharger - San Diego CA - A Street (LIVE 27 Jun 2018, 16 Urban type)

    Need to be in the area for a concert at the HOB at 6pm - thinking about getting here around 4pm, SC'ing if necessary (coming from LA or SD so most likely), then vacating the spot and parking elsewhere in the garage. Does anyone know if the flat fee pricing on Sundays is still in effect? Based on...

    Ticketing for no front plate in Santa Monica and stick-on front plate option

    How serious of a concern is ticketing for no front license plate? I'm wondering whether to avoid this location altogether if ticketing is pervasive (it'd be annoying, but possible to avoid) or just roll the dice since it's not necessarily a focused but more of a random enforcement. This is for a...

    For those that own a Model S Ludicrous without breaking the bank, what is you total comp or job?

    I had an additional though here as well should you care for it. I was a Partner at a large management consulting firm for a period of ~3 yrs during the recession. Things were very good, but not as good as years before or years after. I'm in my late 30s (started college very young) so not...

    For those that own a Model S Ludicrous without breaking the bank, what is you total comp or job?

    What I can tell you is that there are numerous folks on TMC I know personally especially in the Del Mar area - surgeons, senior scientists, folks in venture capital, private equity and just plane ol' entrepreneurs who have had one or more successful exits (largely through our active angel/VC...

    California red car pool lane decal - waiting for DMV

    Ugh that's awful. However if they have no record of payment, why would you need to include a note? Seems like it could be processed as a normal first time app? Sorry to hear about the potential theft of funds as well....CA government hard at work for ya. I called on Christmas Eve and the lady I...

    California DMV - Plates & HOV Stickers

    So, my stickers arrived today.....yup. Can’t decide which incompetent government agency is to blame here, but I know for sure at least one of them cares. Wonder if I can pay my taxes with a check that looked like this.

    California DMV - Plates & HOV Stickers

    Still no stickers here....mailed the app in late Oct, confirmed they did receive it. Can't determine if the check was cashed as it was a BoA MO. Anyone else from this timeframe (or earlier) still waiting? Thanks.

    California red car pool lane decal - waiting for DMV

    Similar boat, my check was mailed about a week after yours. Called the special processing unit and was told I'd receive a follow up about 9 days ago (it never happened), when I called back and politely asked for someone to please help me get this resolved I was hung up on.

    OA recommendation for demo search

    Can someone please recommend (either here or via PM) a responsive, thorough OA who can proactively reach out about demo deals on an X? In San Diego, but anywhere in CA or NV is fine. Thanks all!

    California DMV - Plates & HOV Stickers

    I have an odd situation - my CAV decal cert says 1/27/2016 under "date issued," which is a typo - it should be 1/27/2017. However, the time stamp on the bottom clearly states 02/02/2017. To be clear, the car was purchased in 12/16 and I applied for decals in 12/16, ended up receiving them 2/17...

    My CA DMV registration fee jumped from $80 to $258!!

    Oh man, that's brutal...yeah consumption taxes definitely make sense, but against the backdrop of the entire tax burden in CA, every little bit adds up. Also, Santa Monica has been 10.25% for some time as well.

    My CA DMV registration fee jumped from $80 to $258!!

    Housing is certainly one part of the equation, and appreciation is not some uniformly applied measure across all (coastal vs. inland) markets in CA (e..g Del Mar vs. Lancaster). Strong secondary markets like Nashville and Boulder do appreciate noticeably as well, and there are plenty of folks in...

    My CA DMV registration fee jumped from $80 to $258!!

    Yes but the total tax burden is rough in CA (as I know it used to be in MA and CT when I lived there). 13.3% marginal income tax at the top, 8+% sales tax, etc. so it all adds up through death via 1000x cuts.

    Same situation as you - 12/16 purchase, $80-->$258 on the registration fee portion. Of course the License Fee is another $430 and my total is $695.

    Correlation != causality so I wouldn't read too much into QC...currently at least one stall is down, and as of 10:30am this morning there was a queue 8 deep with 2 stalls out.

    Supercharger - San Diego CA - A Street (LIVE 27 Jun 2018, 16 Urban type)

    I get all that, my point was do you have to leave the garage with your vehicle and re-enter to get the second ticket? I'm not sure how one would obtain a second ticket while on foot, sans car, due to weight sensors.

    Supercharger - San Diego CA - A Street (LIVE 27 Jun 2018, 16 Urban type)

    I haven’t been there yet so stupid question on step 5 above - how do I get the second ticket for 15 mins after I’ve returned the first one? Does the machine on the second floor dispense tickets as well or is there another sub step here? Thanks, entertaining :)

    Windshield Damage

    Tesla certified body shop in SD took care of it and sent it to the local SC for calibration, etc. Comp coverage via insurance (Ameriprise), costs are: $815 for the windshield itself, $425 for "triple camera sensor reset", 4+ hrs labor, so almost $2k all in.

    Supercharger - San Diego, CA (Qualcomm / Pacific Heights Blvd., 12 V2 stalls)

    Wait you serious? If it was a Tesloo* then it's super easy to track down the driver. Call them and let them know to take action against the driver...I'm slightly happier knowing it wasn't an owner.

    Can I buy you a beer? I'm always "that" guy calling people out (believe me, I'd paid for it) so I'm glad you said something. Let's hope his behavior will change.

    Have you invested in a L2+ charging setup in your home garage or is it one of those condo/townhome type situations without a dedicated garage?

    In both cases I suspect it was a friend of the sales person who put in the order....it has been alleged that the sales folks get under the table kickbacks for using certain referral codes.

    Meaning your code wasn't used when it should have been and some other rando's code was used instead. Happened to me 2x.

    Superchargers in Southern California (location speculation)

    Let me state with certainty then that they do not refer to an actual Target store - check a random assortment of them, many if not all say "Target." The closest Target store to Del Mar is Encinitas, about 8 miles away. Unfortunately down in SoCal very few SCs are anywhere near a Target store.
