Anyone in the Northeast US have any luck uncorking their 100D? I have a June 2017 build, and when I called the local Dedham and Watertown, MA service centers, they had no idea about 100D uncorking, and said it was only for 75D.

Thanks, everyone. Appreciate the advice!

Hi All, I just got a call from my local Tesla shop in Massachusetts saying that my 21' Silver Arachnid Wheels I got from the referral program have arrived. I was hoping to get some advice from people who have both these 21' Arachnid wheels (or similar), as well as the normal 19' Slipstream...

75D. No doubt.

Well, if all else fails, hopefully they'll give you a new screen!

We have never had a power outage, at least in the 2 1/2 years in the house. Having backup seems like a good idea, however did I read it correctly that a Powerwall 2 supplies approx 3 hours or so of electricity as a back up? Just wondering if per eml2's comment paying an extra $4,500 ($10K...

Hi all, I just had the good fortune of having my 4th referral in the last few months take delivery. Woo hoo! I know this also means I'll presumably be getting an email saying I'm due a Powerwall 2. Has anyone received one of these yet either through the referral program or purchasing one of...

Great! Thanks!

I put a partial XPEL wrap on my car (the front and hood), with some small choice spots as well by the trunk and doors. It was about $1,500, but I feel soooo much more confident driving it and not worrying that a little pebble on the highway is going to ruin my day.

Tesla should just let their buyers know when the car is in deliverable condition. I'm sure that if they waited a week or so till they fixed issues then called their buyer to say the car was in, that'd be better than getting us all excited only to say there are issues. Odd way of doing business.

Indeed. A very long time. No rush on our end though.

Good question. She is mostly uninterested in cars, but saw a.couple of MBs that caught her eye. But she trusts my opinion so asked me to test them out. We'll consider sitting tight for the Y for now, or perhaps something else.not currently in existence or not on the radar.

Hard call. Both will be sweet cars. If the price difference is really only 5K - 10K, the S is such a sweet car, and has been around for 5 years so has worked out some issues that new cars have. I'm sure the 3 will be awesome, but the reality is that like any new car it'll take a year or so...

Very true. Also test drives are a good way to get familiar with nuances and fun features of Teslas. I took three test drives, and learned something new every time.

Both are good reasons! :) I test drove a MB for my wife to potentially replace her old Lexus RX400h, and I must confess, I have been spoiled by Tesla. When I floored the three MB SUV models I test drove, it felt like a wet noodle compared to my 100D. So don't test drive a Tesla if you don't...

Nice, tccartier!! That's awesome. Enjoy it, and welcome to Tesla ownership!

Kids love my Tesla Model S. I can't tell you how many wide eyed, smiling kids point at my car driving by, and I can read their lips saying "Whoa, cool car." I've gotten a cat call from a packed car of 20ish girls saying, "We love your Teslas" to another dude and me while supercharging. I've had...

Lots of positive reactions in New England to my S 100D. One time a police officer acquaintance gave me a hard time because he thought I was making a political statement (I wasn't) when he found out I got a Tesla. But I just took that as a reflection of him. I certainly can't control what others...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't a company need one's social security number to issue a 1099? I have my own business and unless my accountant doesn't know what he's doing (and he's very good), I need to get people's social security numbers to issue them 1099s, where applicable. I haven't...

Are people paying for the early access token for the solar roofs? If so, how much are you seeing them go for? Thanks!

Yeah, that's how it goes down! The 75D is a sweet ride with a super fast engine. Enjoy it!

Nice ride! It'll be here soon. Enjoy it!

Ha! You'll settle in (hopefully) once you get the car and drive it for a little while. The ride is that sweet though. I'm sure the 3 will be sweet, but for those that want a little more luxury, faster ride, more storage, more tech, etc, thr S is the way to go. Which model did you order???

It appears to just be a matter of time! Find the $50K. It'll be worth it if you can make it work.

Sorry to hear, Overwatch. Similar thing happened to me. The only plus to this is that you can now use this to ask for more. A little hint if you'd like one . . . see if you can get perks from them that add value to you but don't necessarily cost them anything. Such as see if you can get a...

I guess ramen noodles aren't so bad after all! I suppose if one looks at it as eat ramen noodles to drive Model S, then that certainly changes the perspective! :) But it is so true, once a test drive happens, it's like some voice gets planted in the brain wrestling us to submission till we...

Not at all. Most people don't pay much attention to other people's luggage. And if someone else notices your Tesla luggage, it'll likely be another Tesla owner and you both can swap Tesla moments! The luggage is sharp, by the way.

Also, I recently took my 9 year old daughter and her best friend for a ride in my S 100D. As one would expect, there were lots of "Wows". When we finished the ride, I overhear my daughter's best friend say, "You have the coolest dad, and he has the coolest car." Pretty cool.

Good luck! I'm cautiously optimistic that you'll love your car and it will ride great. Enjoy!

I'm at a stoplight today in a medium sized city when an angry looking and possibly drunk shirtless dude with long hair and a bunch of tattoos is strolling across the crosswalk in front of me with who was presumably his girlfriend. The girlfriend points at my silver metallic 2017 S 100D and...

I had not! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Most appreciated!

I'd love to hear other owner's stories about any cool compliment or shout out stories anyone would care to share regarding their Teslas. I'm not sure if my experience is similar or different to many others, but prior to my 2017 Model S 100D, I come from the never spent more than$30K on a car...

Good luck! Let us know what happens!

Anyone know how quick Tesla is to update the date from ordered to delivered on the end of the person whose code was used for a referral? I have a couple of referrals who have very early July order dates. Not sure if their orders are just taking awhile, if Tesla hasn't updated status to delivered...

Overwatch, the same thing happened to me. I got a car with a damaged bumper that would need to get replaced. I took delivery with a work order to replace the bumper, drove it for a month till the bumper came in, then got it swapped out. Tesla gave me free all weather mats for this inconvenience...

I just wanted to give a shout out thank you to all the kind people who used my referral code. You all could have used anyone's code, and you chose mine. If everyone takes delivery, then because of your kindness, my kids will cruise around in a Mini Tesla, I will cruise around with some sweet...

Welcome, Stillwishin. So long as buying a Tesla doesn't cause you and your fan to only eat Ramen noodles for the next six years, you will have no regrets. Enjoy!

I was wondering why I've been feeling my testosterone levels have been spiked the last couple of months. It appears I now have my answer!

So true! We test drove a bunch of Mercedes with not too shabby engines for the Mrs, but I almost thought it was a joke how slowly they accelerated. I couldn't believe that they were so non responsive. Needless to say, a Mercedes was not purchased.

What's the most amount of referrals that any of you have gotten, or the most you have heard of? Just wondering if Tesla is actually going to have to pony up a "free" Roadster to anyone. Also wonder if Tesla is going to send a 1099 for the discounted value of the Roadster, or for the "free"...

Wow! Is that for real? Very cool! Wonder when they will start shipping these bad boys out. My kiddos keep asking me when they'll get delivered. Thanks for sharing!

Not sure if this data is accurate, but I had two referrals order cars last month, one on 7/1/2017, and one on 7/5/2017. Neither of them are showing as delivered yet, at least on my end. I don't know if that means that they are still waiting, or if they are cruising around in their cars and...

They say that kids are the most honest. Recently I took my buddy and his five year old daughter for an impromptu ride in my silver metallic 2017 100D. My buddy and his wife have a nice late model Mercedes SUV that is all loaded up, so the kid is used to decent rides. I smiled as I listened to...

Nice ride WillK. Sounds like you did well. Funny your buddies bought one too. That's what happens when test drives happen. I'm also in the previously hadn't spent more than $30K on a car club. Not anymore! But no regrets. Love cruising around in the S.

Well done, Rockster. Being an S owner, like you, we are both likely relatively pretty high up the delivery list for a 3, which I have also reserved. But I'll probably bail on my reservation. I really like the 3, and it looks awesome, but what I really eventually need is a family car to...

Nice! Good work. You got the faster 75D as well, which is sweet (not that 5.2 is slow on the older 75Ds). I haven't honked the horn while being away from the car, but may have to try that now. Good heads up! I do like to use the summon feature, if for no other reason as kind of a fun...

Soooo, have you bought the car yet? If so, what did you get? If not, what's the hold up?!

I got my S 100D a couple of months ago. If memory serves correct, I was told to do get everything ready to rock in regards to the checklist that they give you, except to wait on the financing till you were likely within 30 days of delivery. I might be remembering incorrectly, but I believe...

Ha! They call that the "puppy dog close" in sales. Give someone the puppy dog to be with for a test run, and they'll likely buy it. Happened to both of us with the Tesla, and now your neighbor too. Great marketing on Tesla's part. Make something so awesome that your customers are your...
