I’m just posting this in case anyone else was wondering if they can or should use Nexen tires on their Model X. I just ran Nexen N’fera RU5 for the last 50k miles and now I’m running Nexen Roadian GTX tires. You get a little bit more road noise than the Conti’s but it doesn’t bother me at all...

Did you ever sell these?

Hi all, I just missed a similar trade in my area and figured I would post here. If anyone needs stock rims to return their car to factory, I would be open to trading for something gunmetal or black. I have stock slipstream 20" rims in original silver. Alternately, I am looking to replace...

I own an IT consulting firm so I definitely fit the profile

Be sure to check the load rating on the Niches as many of them don't support the weight of the MX from what I've seen which could lead to dented rims if you hit a pothole. Happy hunting!

I've got a guy - PM me - he did a simple NEMA outlet for dirt cheap and it's been perfect ever since.

I believe that as soon as the rebates end, the resale value will go up slightly on used Teslas. It will not be much, but when I purchased mine, it made no sense to buy used unless I could get it for $10k less than new since I got a $2,500 CA and $7,500 federal rebate. New was $80k, and I...

Bump. $1,400 OBO.

I have a friend that lives in an affluent part of Malibu here in California and it seems like as you drive down their street it looks like this: Tesla, Sports Car, Range Rover, Tesla, Sports Car, Range Rover, Tesla, Sports Car, Range Rover, etc I never have range anxiety in Malibu =)

Come to California and you will see more Tesla's in a day than Elon can produce in a year.

Im not crazy about leather and did the same for my X. I don't mind it at all! I'm only nervous about staining/cleaning it as leather is so easy to wipe clean.

I am going to put aftermarket rims on my brand new model X and will be selling the OEM 20" slipstreams. They currently have 1,800 miles on them and are still pristine. This ad is for the rims only - I will be keeping the tires and sensors. Located in Socal, would rather sell local and can...

And also what color should I powder coat my brake calipers? Red is a little too common. I'm thinking yellow or chrome? I would love some feedback!

I'm looking for this too!

I wanted to provide an update on my model X experience. Because I see so many negative posts about the delivery process and quality control issues, it actually allows me to feel really good about my purchase considering I've had very few issues whatsoever. I guess I had a certain expectation and...

I got amazing rates with Amica on my model X.

That's really interesting to hear. Do you have any references on this? Also I don't want to take the full 100%, I only want to take 50% so I am wondering if it is possible to pick how much of the bonus you take? Works out much better for me that way. I'll have to ask my CPA.

I am just amazed at how easy everything has been so far. 1. My OA and DS have been amazing so far. 2. My DS guaranteed me I will have my MX by year end for tax purposes. 3. My production is still on schedule. 4. The credit application was the quickest, easiest process I have ever been...

Hey peeps, I have some very competitive rates from both companies and I’m hearing from a friend who owns a large group of body shops that Amica is easier to work with from a repair perspective and their customer service is better in general but he doesn’t service Tesla’s. I’m wondering if...

It's pretty simple - encourage them to purchases Teslas

I absolutely love this look on the Range Rover, I am actually looking for one right now for my wife. I think it would look really slick on a model S! Even on a model X it might look great

For those of you crossing your fingers for delivery in 2017 for tax purposes, my delivery specialist told me today that he is going to do "express delivery" which would allow me take delivery in 2017 even if my vehicle arrives at my delivery center or home in 2018. Just FYI

Someone maybe cancelled an order with the exact same specs, but if it is true that it is being built right now and is brand new there won't be any negotiating power most likely. I would just be happy to get early delivery and say YES! You will definitely get to keep your tax credit =)

Its all for press. Very creative of him, he will make 5x more money in YouTube ads than the car was worth but many vehicles that sell on eBay are never paid for and they must be relisted elsewhere. As a matter of fact, many items over $500 have non paying buyers, and somehow eBay has never come...

If any of you awaiting delivery want a SMOKING deal on an inventory model, check out EV-CPO right now. That's all I am going to say. It will be gone within an hour I'm sure.

Done! I ordered a day after you did.

I'm just afraid to risk it if its too close! And last year they weren't in "production hell" with the M3! But that is good to know how tight you cut it. Did they tell you January delivery and then deliver in December?

And by the way I have no intention of committing tax fraud, I meant does Tesla have a way of giving me delivery early and then taking it back for inspection etc if necessary.

I'm not a CPA but mine told me that you can only deduct up to how much you owe in taxes and no more. I believe the same applies to the tax credits so if you don't owe at least 10k you will be missing out on big tax credits based on my understanding. You should obviously talk to a professional...

You are absolutely right from what my CPA told me. You wouldn't get the tax credits or bonus depreciation if you buy used. The thing is I never see used Model X for more than $10k off MSRP so when I weigh in the tax credits it almost never makes sense to buy used for me. Now that's only...

Hey all, I placed my order yesterday with a referral code for a black 75D base model. I will be a first time Tesla owner, I really wanted a Model S but for tax reasons I went with the Model X. I am taking the section 179 deduction for 2017 so I need delivery by December 31st. Is there even a...

Hi OP can you PM me your OA info please? I'm looking for a very similar deal

I drive my car 95%for business, driving to see client so I am using this deduction myself. You can also just depreciate the vehicle over 5 years and take a smaller deduction every year and spread out the tax savings, but in some cases it may make sense to take the bigger deduction in year one.

I need to take delivery in December which means I need to place my order in the next few weeks. Are estimated deliveries generally on time? For tax purposes I have to take delivery this calendar year and I want to make sure I actually get it in December. Thanks!

Any recommendations on actual wheels that might be a good example of replacements?

I have done a search on various keywords and cannot seem to find the answer for this. I am going to be buying a Model X soon with all aspects of ownership geared towards maximum efficiency. I drive in stop and go traffic about 80% of the time and should get excellent range but I want to figure...

That is a great deal! I will be purchasing in two to three months, may I ask what you mean by "fully loaded?" Which packages came with it? Thanks!

I'm considering that too, I mainly want alternatives in case the homeowner tells me that she doesn't want me to install one. She's very old school and may not understand it or be okay with it. I'll look into the cost and run the idea by her!

There is a dryer in a room adjacent to the garage, that may do the trick! I would have to share the plug so I don't lose my ability to use the dryer so that splitter should work.

I work for myself, and don't go to one fixed location every day, I visit various clients. I could potentially rent a parking space that has a charger for a few months if anyone offers anything like that in my area. I haven't looked into it yet.

That may be the only logical way to do it, but knowing her she will want me to pay for the whole thing which just seems like a waste.

Hi all, I'm in a unique position in which I'll be taking delivery of a model X in December and I'm moving to a new house (renting) about 3 months after. I don't necessarily want to install a supercharger at my current place as I'm moving so shortly after but I drive 150 miles per day and will...

Are you sure about that? I believe it's just a month though preload. Every dollar goes towards tolls and it just auto replenishes. At least that's how mine works. I have two devices one in each car and they sent me the second one for free.

My CPA has been slammed but I will fill you in when I speak to her. I don't mind risking an audit because every deduction I take is legal and fairly well documented. I'm a little lax on a few things like recording my miles but that's because I drive 95% for business and Google maps location...

I one hundred perfect agree with your CPA friend. I wouldn't buy the car just for the savings because I know I would pay less by just paying taxes but considering I was going to buy one anyway it might make a whole lot of sense to buy one sooner than later with all the available deductions and...

Hi Sanny, I am doing the exact same comparison right now and your spreadsheet is very similar to mine. I was going to get a Model 3 or S in a year or so but with the Section 179 deduction it makes more sense for me to buy the Model X for business as I drive 25k miles or business annually, 95%...
