    Aftermarket radio/NAV units

    I was just at the Newport Tesla location and talked to Kyrstin. She said she checked, and said that unless I purchase a car with the infotainment option, the dash will be a 1 DIN dash. Therefore, although I thought I read that I can place an order for the car without this option, yet request...

    Aftermarket radio/NAV units

    Well, I agree that dealers tend to promote the products they sell for profit as being the best (and the potential for bias)... but I am having a hard time finding objective information. I could not find a good review of this Z130BT, or information that really points out how the...

    Aftermarket radio/NAV units

    I called Al-Eds in West Hollywood today since they are into Tesla aftermarket units (they even have a Tesla link). I asked if they could provide a setup better than stock for $4,500 (the infotainment cost), or as good of a setup for less. The answer was "yes" suggesting that perhaps I should...

    Obsidian Black versus Jet Black? Metallic vs. Premium?

    I was advised that the obsidian black car hides dirt/imperfections better than the jet black, and will therefore look better when not in a showroom. I asked a lot of people their opinions on color. Of course this is all about personal preference. Assuming I am able to soon purchase a...

    Optional Upgrades: Review

    I am considering the purchase of a Roadster (base model). Given that there is no cost savings when buying a showroom model, I prefer to order a car so that I only pay for options I consider truly worthwhile. This is my impression so far based on comments here and from my own research...

    Best and worst parts of owning a Tesla

    Although I do not own a Tesla, I am seriously considering buying one. I twice drove the car. Pros: In addition to the no-gas/oil appeal and the comments that were mentioned, I consider a major pro the ability to get a While Carpool sticker (not applicable to everyone of course). I live in...

    Sport model. Can you really tell the difference?

    "JoelG, has this discussion helped inspire you to buy a Roadster yet?" - Benji4 Well, although most of the recent comments are now related to standard vs performance mode rather than the the original topic haha, I gather from the feedback that for me, the base model with a suspension upgrade...

    Sport model. Can you really tell the difference?

    Well... as you know, the Sport is $19,500 (plus tax) more than the base model, and the additional $ buys 0-60 at 3.7 instead of 3.9, adjustable suspension, and a tire upgrade. Obviously if money were not an object or of the price were identical for the 2 models, everyone would get the Sport...
