When I took delivery of my CPO back in Aug., my wife saw that a new X that was ready to be picked up and had the fobs on the dash. She asked about the sleeves, and if we could buy a pair , they just gave us a pair for free (that's all we got (no swag bag)). I think they work and look great!

I just got the notification that I received this update literally 45 minutes ago! I added myself to the map!

I was actually going to create a post just like this if no one hadn't! I just got my cubby yesterday. Unlike the OP, I actually like the look of the Original handle better. This thing looks like it could have come with the car. The build quality is top notch! I've only launched a couple of...

I don't have anything of value to add to this conversation, I just wanted to point out that you passed up a pretty good pun here...

I wish we were able to apply more than just one rating to a post. Not only did I like this post but I also found it Helpful, informative, and I loved it! This concept not only holds true for cars & global warming but politics and religion too; and is why it's best to steer clear of these topics.

On a side note, how do you like the Q50? Before deciding on getting the CPO Tesla I was thinking about the Q50, my wife has the QX60 (SUV) and it's pretty nice. Also, I currently have my 2013 MS 85 in to get a few Due Bill items taken care of and they gave me a 2013 P85 as a loaner. :)

I too would like to know about this! I have an early 2013 S85!

As have been stated before, yes! The phone is interfering with the fob. I had the same issue with my Hyundai Sonata fob, I have the issue with my wife's Infiniti fob and I have the issue with my Model S fob.

Done...

It's called the LATCH system here too, but my 2013 S does not have the ISO FIX wording on the decals, just the car seat emblem.

I actually I went through Brent out of Chicago and Jeff out of Cleveland. Overall it too just under 6 weeks. My car came out of San Antonio, and got reconditioned in Houston.

This happened to me back in 2000 with my 2000 Volkswagen Jetta. My coworker that also had the same year Volkswagen TDi was able to unlock my car with his fob. He was not able to start it (pre-keyless starting).

So I was able to pick it on Wednesday. First of all, I didn't get a swag bag, but that's okay. The car looked amazing, obviously not brand new, but you'd really have to look to tell that. Everyone here at work thought it was brand new! And I've been showing it to people all day the past two...

Well, I got my S85 today and got to test it and it's working perfectly. Thanks everyone!

The distance is just about 6 for from the box.

Thank you! I knew there would be some fluctuations but I'm used to seeing them higher than the rated voltage.

As the title indicates, when I used a multimeter to check my outlet it only registers 232v. Is this normal? It's on a 50 amp breaker in a 200 amp box with 6 guage wire. Thanks

Okay, today I realized that on Thursday, I could be required to serve for jury duty. Somethings opened up and called my DS and asked if there was any way to get me in tomorrow! He worked a few thing and got me in! I'm getting my car tomorrow. I have to admit, I've seen some horrible...

I have a DATE!!! Wait...no, not that kind of date, my wife won't let me go on dates anymore! I have a date to pick up my car!! I won't itemize each event, mainly because I'm not that meticulous, but also because I'm lazy! But after about a week of confusion on both my and Tesla website part, on...

I'm willing to bet that TESLA agrees with this statement and I bet you do too because you then state this... Remember Tesla is in the business to make profits, so they aren't going to buy your car for $138k+ then turn around recondition it and re-sell it for $138k. I'm willing to bet you'd...

I found this list on another forum...

It seems that my timeline is closely following yours. Brent just told me yesterday that, "This time next week, my car will be done' and preparations will be made to ship it up to Ohio! He guestimated mid-August delivery but said the end of the month at the latest.

IMO, it's a great deal! Just as an idea of how good of a deal, go to New Cars, Used Cars, Car Reviews and Pricing | Edmunds and put in the specs for it and see what they value it at, you won't be disappointed.

If you plan on trading this vehicle in 2 - 3 years, I say pass, but if this is going to be your car for the next 5 or more years then keep it, it's a great deal! Any issue arising from the accident will show during the warranty! My 2013 S85 with 46Kmiles was $46 and yours is the Performance! If...

Just got my weekly update that by this time next week my car should be done and will then be shipped to Ohio! It seems to all be coming together!!!

Awesome work. A little too late for me to use but I'm sure will be very useful for someone.

Absolutely not! The P85 I saw was for $46,200, If I saw one for 35K I think I would have had to jump on it and figure out the financing later :) My searches were in the East and Midwest.

Yes, yes it does! Okay, I just looked and it does look like they added to their inventory recently. I just looked a few days ago and only 2 or 3 cars appeared for my search, now easily a couple of dozens are showing. The only one I'm having car envy over is the 2012 P85, it's only $600 more...

Are you trying to finance through Tesla? Either way, that seems highly odd! I've applied through my personal bank and through Tesla and in both cases I've gotten a response within 48 hours(approvals in both cases).

Wow, you started 5 days before me, our cars are in the same SC and we both work with Brent! Oh, and we both have silver 85 kwh, although you're is there performance I really hope they're way ahead of their 6-8 well timeline. I was told only issues with my car were minor cosmetics but we were...

I know, right!?! I pointed this out to my wife and mentioned to her that's something I can now take off of my wishlist. I can't tell if it's the EVAnnex one, but if it is then that's at least a $500 insert! It also looks like the windows are already tinted! I know there was a post about...

After just under 3 weeks, I get my first pictures!!! 2013 85 kWh Model S Silver Metallic Paint All Glass Panoramic Roof 19" Wheels Grey Leather Interior Obeche Wood Matte Décor Free Supercharging Twin Chargers Tech Package Active Air Suspension Sound Studio Package

Thanks for posting this! Although I'm only about 3 weeks into my experience, it feels like it's been a year and stories like this makes it a bit easier to get day to day. :)

Please report back with pictures and your experience looking it over and taking ownership. Thanks

Ohhh, you probably have free parking somewhere, either that or access to a secret military base! Try driving onto various military bases and see what happens! :D

Because of my loan expiration date, my car was supposed to be "High Priority" too. I think it's something they tell people to help them feel good. IDK, maybe they do mark them high priority and the guys on the other end just look at it and laugh! :)

That's a great idea! I was already going to get the other windows tinted and I don't think I'd be a big fan of those sun shades; an additional tint might be what I do! Thanks

So, my CPO has the all glass panoramic roof; how bad is it on a sunny day at high noon? Are there any aftermarket sun screens? Thanks,

I seem to remember being told that in an ICE vehicle that it's actually more efficient when driving long distances (non-city driving) to drive with the windows up and AC on than windows down and AC off. I think the idea was that the additional drag caused by the open windows would out weigh the...

What's the cost for these plans?

HOLY COW! Note to self, "Don't move to California!" In this part of the Country (Ohio) at a really good shop it will cost you $150 - 200 at the most. Tint I've had on since 2011 still looks as good as the day it was installed!

Just got off the phone with my bank. I gave them my VIN and they confirmed, I'm able to utilize the full preapproved amount for my particular car including taxes & fees. The cool thing is the NADA value was actually within 95% of the listed price, which I thought was pretty good. Also, my loan...

I'm pretty much in the same boat. I officially put my order in on the 8th (I had some technical issue leading up to that day), but my pre-approved check expires on 8/2. The odd thing is, I brought up the possibility of "using" the check before it expired and my CU advised me against that. He...

I'm not trying to minimize your experience, but from all that I've read, 3 weeks is an incredibly fast turn around. A great number of people are waiting 6 - 8 weeks. So maybe a quick turnaround isn't what we want?! I'm currently sitting at 1 week, 5 days :)

@RichardD, from your avatar it looks like you work in the oil & gas industry. I'm curious how your co-workers reacted to you driving an EV as opposed to an ICE. I work in midstream here in Ohio and I haven't told anyone yet that I've ordered a Tesla. My line of reasoning, if I'm ever questioned...

I live in Ohio and my MS is coming from San Antonio, and I do not have a transfer fee either.

Is changing the pads and rotors on the ms as simple as on most standard cars?

It sounds like you may have had some added costs to your vehicle, like maintenance, or a destination charge. I have a similar loan and when I saw your post I contacted my bank to make sure I'd be covered. Although my loan covers 115% of the NADA value, the entire cost would have been covered...
