    Are there not adverse federal tax consequences of unsold cars at the end of the calendar (fiscal) year?

    If you want to brainstorm - Why not capture it rather than deflect it?

    Connectivity: service plan/upgradability/speed

    Model S Data Plan I need to move to a new cel phone / data plan. I assume that at some point, I will want a plan that works best with my S. Does anyone have any information when Tesla will announce their data plans? Any suggestions? Bet on AT&T being most compatible?

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    I have noticed loud climate control fan when set on automatic with significantly different temperature set points on driver and passenger side. "Climate control fighting itself?"

    Model S Delivery Issues and Communication Concerns

    My VIN0821 has not been delivered, nor do I have a non-expired delivery window. Frustrating, YES! Worthy of slamming Tesla or expecting special treatment, not so much.

    Excessive size, weight, maintenance costs, lack of expected features=deposit refund

    strider - My point exactly. Just trying to get some people to recognize that the S is a remarkably nimble car for it's size. I even expect that the already good skid pad numbers will improve as tires and driving technique are tweaked.

    Excessive size, weight, maintenance costs, lack of expected features=deposit refund

    One of the big safety concerns about a heavy car is a long stopping sistance. And the S's is ---OOPS!

    19" vs 21" Wheels Pros and Cons

    I would expect quicker steering response (better turn-in) with the 21" wheels. I would also expect the "normal" ride to be what some would call "harsher" but which some of us would prefer and describe as more "precise" or "sportcar like".

    Should Tesla Reconsider Policy re: Credit for 19" Sig|Perf Wheels?

    Does anyone know if the suspension is tuned specifically for the 21" wheels, a compromise setting, variable, or some other?

    Panoramic sunroof

    What effect does the suncreen have on rear seat headroom? I would guess it might be less than with no sunscreen, perhaps less than with no pano roof.

    Model S annual maintenance

    ckessel - I think you are forgetting that a "normal" car frequently reduces speed by "coasting down". That is, it uses air friction braking which puts no additional wear on the tires.

    What do you do for work? Just passing time waiting for updates from Tesla :)

    Retired in '91 - hard to remember what I did before that.

    Putting Everything into Perspective

    Sorry - that should be reasonably, not reasonbly.

    Putting Everything into Perspective

    Be careful about assuming that upgrading to a larger battery will be possible let alone simple. Don't forget about reasonbly sophisticated battery management and cooling.

    Comparable Cars

    I would hardly call the Panamera "severly limited in the storage department".

    Feedback and suggestions regarding the Model S Beta

    I have a Lexus and a Porsche Panamera and I far prefer the Panamera cruise control (lower left, push to set, up to resume, down to turn off).

    Model S in two showrooms this coming weekend

    I, too, prefer the unobstructed space between the front seats. For those wanting something else, and there are numerous logical possibilities, it seems to me that aftermarket vendors should be able to come up with great solutions very quickly.
