Oh, okay. Almost couldn’t see you way up there on your high horse. Now I do. My bad.

Ok fangirls too. Not intentional. My point is, you don’t see a vibrant forum online discussing the latest tech innovations of the Dodge Dart. If this forum is not for Tesla enthusiasts, who is it for?

And at 31 days you’re screwed, right? Come on. Of all the *sugar* that goes on that literally is stealing people’s money, this is where you are going to get principled? I just read that some lady was charged $48k for a rabies shot. If you want to rail about the injustices of the world, start there...

Not saying I wouldn’t be mad. I’m saying that a 12 page thread on a forum designed for Tesla fanboys is just a bit much. We get it. You’re pissed. So take action, make a change. Send a letter from your lawyer. Nobody said the company was perfect. They just make the best cars on the road...

Nobody really cares about how mad you are. I bought a pair of high end Sony headphones for $250, a week later, they went on sale for $130. This happens. It’s life. Sell your Tesla. Divest yourself of all Tesla stock. There is no guarantee that you’ll buy something and the price will stay the...

Sorry, put in my reservation today....

I'm seriously considering getting the baseline 3 for my wife/daughter. We were looking at other cars, but nothing compares. Assuming I put my order in today, given priority as an X owner and Cali resident, when would I receive delivery?

Scratched my Model X front bumper during a parallel parking exercise. Took a nice gouge out of the plastic in 2 places. Sensors didn't see the hitch/rack setup on the car in front of me. :-( My fault for trying to squeeze in to a tight place. I'd really like to get it smoothed and maybe a...

Yes, the ModelXWife is the most expensive option that Tesla offers, and you can't get financing for it :rolleyes:

On Tuesday it popped up while I was in the Tesla store. It's not appearing because my deposit is holding it!

For a new, custom built 75 vs a 100d, yes, no comparison at $13K difference, you go with the 100d. Not close. I'm getting my 75d at a steep discount (82K) or $28K.

All of these are actually good reasons to get the 100d. Frankly, if I didn't have a wife, I would probably get the 100d over the 75. ;)

I don't do fast food really, and certainly not in the car. We always stop and eat and/or pack stuff to nibble on. It's possible that we'll drive the Tesla more. It's not a perfect analysis by any means. It might end up being $1200/hour or $900/hour. By no means did I intend for math above to...

There is no doubt about it, unless you can get a discounted inventory vehicle for your 90d at around $95K, you just don't get the 90d now that the 100d is out. I think when the 120kwh version is out, you are now into parity with ICEs and there is no range anxiety. Game over. No wonder Detroit...

I'm rolling all votes into this post, and it's now: 100d = 9.5, 90d = 1, 75d =2.5 Thanks for the local context. As a card-carrying member of the Cheap Bastard Alliance, this is the meat of it for me. Time to get super nerdy... I put roughly 25K miles on my BMW this last year. Taking about...

Yes, another vote for the 100d. RANGE. 'nuff said. I think I can borrow my dad's Murano for the road trips if I have to ;)

I don't think your gut is wrong. I have an uncle that had like an '84 Bronco for 20 years. At some point, it becomes a utility vehicle. Trucks are the same way, they just stay in service longer versus your Ford Escort because they can haul something. I think that my wife will go for the 75d...

Sorry, didn't answer your original question: 1 - About $300 with no additional money down.

Those are good points. There is probably an actuary or, because Tesla is a Silicon Valley company, more likely a statistician or engineer in the bowels of the company that is already working a model of depreciation for Teslas. Although we only have 3.5 years of data (shouldn't count the...

Wow. Crazy thing is that even with the 75d or 90d on 22" rims, it would still kill your range. I guess what I was saying is that Mammoth is a 6-7 hour drive from San Diego in an ICE. Doing it in a 75d will take 2 hours longer, but for all intents and purposes, it's still a day-long drive...

Understood. There are three superchargers on the way to LAX, and I don't think a 15-20 min stop at any of those would raise eyebrows. I'm in Del Mar/Carmel Valley and it's 110 miles to LAX exactly. I usually stop for awhile anyway, sometimes to get gas, sometimes to just grab a soda or gatorade...

I guess what has concerned me is that when I buy it, it will be the only car I have. I have no issues with a trip to Mammoth, it should be fine, Tahoe even. It's the trip to Montana, or Chicago, originally 2 days one way, now 3. I suppose that might even be the case with the 100d...

New vote just came, and a very important one: 100d = 7.5, 90d = 1, 75d =1.5 Wife weighed in. She thinks new cars depreciate too fast (she's right). She likes the price of the 75d, the tax credit, etc. We are now talking about range and our expectations with the 75d o_O

My understanding is that the CPOs have already applied for the tax credit. You can only get 1 credit per car.

That's a great deal, but CPO. Need the tax credit :-(

100D = 7.5, 90D = 1, 75D = 0.5 Changing mikevbf to the 90d, giving half a vote to the 100d and half to the 75d from hingisfan. Funny story, I had a red 90d for 97K with 20" rims and white seats in my sights for the deposit and the wife said no way on the white seats -- she didn't like 'em...

Why the 100D? Range? Do you find yourself wishing for more range? 100D = 8, 90D = 0, 75D = 0

That's now 100D = 7, 90D = 0, 75D = 0 I just got back from the Tesla store. No new inventory models available :( When I mentioned moving the deposit to a custom build, the sales associate did not love the idea. It wasn't the guy that I was working with for the down payment, but he either...

Also not sure they'll even allow me to change my deposit to a new build. :eek:

I suppose this is another vote for the 100D? 100D = 4, 90D = 0, 75D = 0 By the way, does anyone have a loose idea on the lead time for a Model X 100d? 2 months? 5 months? 8 months?

100D = 3, 90D = 0, 75D = 0 I'm doing a 50Kish down, so you're right, at 1.99 it's free money. Finance charges over 6 years are still only 4-6K. I thought hot/crazy matrix was reserved for women. I stand corrected. Seems like people want the range and AP2.

Running total: 100D = 2, 90D = 0, 75D = 0 We are looking at a fantastic car in any version. It just really annoys me that the other options have 22" wheels.

One vote for the 100D. Running total: 100D = 1, 90D = 0, 75D = 0 Shoulda put this in a poll. I overbuilt my solar for the sole purpose of getting a Tesla. Let's hope I overbuilt it enough. Two kids that can easily fit in row 3. The extra seat-age would be for the in-laws when they come... I...

I slapped my $2500 deposit down and now I need some info from some real owners -- what to order? Background: I've been looking for a Tesla on and off over the last 2 years. There was always something that turned me away, either price, waiting for new features, etc. I've always paid cash for...
