Thanks, I'll try to post pictures tomorrow. Actually, we were using a Gen 1 UMC from our first 2013 Model S on her car, and keeping the Gen 2 in the frunk for her to use during travel. Suffice it to say that after reading all the posts on this thread we will be getting rid of the Gen 1. We...

Wow, the exact same thing just happened to us! Fortunately, my wife went out to get something from her charging M3, and smelled the smoke. I disconnected the cable from her M3, but when she tried to pull the 14-50 adapter from the outlet, it threw off a huge spark. We killed the circuit...

I'm interested, DM me!

I may be interested in this - DM me!

someshsaxena I might be interested. DM me.

Stoked here too! 4/7/16 Owner - ordered online 2/15/18 Ordered White Pearl delivery in Shreveport, LA 4/10/18 Received VIN 092xx Trading in our '15 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring to Tesla, after they matched our CarMax offer. Updated the spreadsheet. Waiting for delivery date!!!

Our site just shows 'Cash' and 'Finance through your bank or credit union' as possible choices. It doesn't show financing through Tesla as a possible choice. Has anyone else seen this?

Wow, that's bad. Whelp, I can't get back those minutes wasted watching the FF reveal - my bad... That was one of the worst reveals I've ever seen.

There's a Collin Street Bakery in Lindale, TX. Since the SC in Corsicana is located at the Collin Street Bakery there, that's my first guess on the Lindale location...

The Tesla Supercharger roadmap is still showing Superchargers to be completed by the end of 2015 in Alexandria and Shreveport, Louisiana, as well as East Texas (Longview?). Where do people go to find permit applications for these areas, or are these areas immune to the inter-webs? :smile:

Thanks Bonnie, for talking me down from the ledge!!!:smile:

According to John McElroy with Autoline Daily, Elon says that Tesla might try to have hybrid dealerships in order to have a presence in all 50 states... http://www.autoline.tv/journal/?p=33977 I would NEVER, EVER go back to a dealer, after my experience with purchasing my S! This might be enough...

In a couple of the early episodes of Extant, there's a vehicle that I swear is the Model X! Only difference is that they had middle seats that faced the rear of the car - or so they tried to make you believe. Anyone have screenshots of those?

Thank you & Merry Christmas to the entire Tesla team - from Elon to the service center staff that has been SO wonderful, and made my Model S experience one that could not be surpassed anytime soon! Also many thanks and holiday wishes to everyone here and on the TM site - may the upcoming year...

Love the videos - very entertaining. One quick question though, why did you not fully charge at the superchargers? It looked like you got tired of waiting, and just took off. I was hoping that you weren't pulling a Broder, but glad that things worked out - guess that was the moral of the...

Since we received the 5.8 update and with it Wi-Fi access, I decided to try an experiment. I took my iPhone 5, running under Verizon's 4G network, and placed it in personal hotspot mode. I plugged it into my MS' USB port for continuous power, then connected the MS to my newly-created hotspot's...

Hmm... I hadn't heard about Tyler. Any word on location?

As one of the "handful" (last I heard it was about 15, LOL!), that would be AWESOME! Add one at Texarkana, and another at Monroe, LA, and we'd be set. That would get us to the I-40 path, and over to Jackson, MS, where eventually there will be another Supercharger...

Please stay safe, Bonnie! We'll be praying for you, and awaiting your return in happier times.

This should be in the 2014 Model S Calendar!

I'm 6'3" with no problems - wait, let me go get in to double-check (any excuse to get back in the car). Yep, time for a drive... ;-)

I've always liked "Legend" - I know, Acura already did this - but it fits!

I REALLY hope so! It looks like there's a big blank area of the country between Dallas and Birmingham. I'd like to drive home to Indiana from Shreveport, but it looks like I'll have to wait a couple of years. :tongue: As for the route to Little Rock, there'd need to be a stop somewhere around...

I've had that happen once, too. Sort of disconcerting...

Holy cow - this is awesome!

Joseph, I've had my S (actually TWO Model S' - the first one delivered didn't have the Tech package that I'd ordered, and was replaced by TM - awesome folks!) since Feb. 6th. I live in Shreveport, with my wife, kid, and my blue 60 kW Model S. My replacement S didn't have the Obeche gloss, nor...

I was born & raised in Gary, does that count LOL?!! I still have siblings there, even though I've lived in Louisiana over 20 years now. I'd love to be able to drive my blue 60 kW Model S (Electra) back home to Indiana. Funny, I never stopped being a Hoosier :biggrin:

Tried to update from 4.2 to 4.3 today. Instead I got the "12 volt battery is too low. Contact Tesla Service" message. Guess I'll be calling service in the morning. :frown:

BTW, where is the tethering option that was promised? I'd much rather use my existing data plans than to add a new one!

One of these blue babies must be mine, since I'm taking delivery today! Woo-hoo!

eelton, I started calling the week before my window started (Jan 30 - Feb 13), and I got my VIN yesterday, xx4702. You might want to nudge them a little... ;-)

Nope, not yet. I've gotten a delivery window of 1/31 - 2/13. Lafayette surprises me - I thought that there might have been one in Lake Charles, but not Lafayette. Kinda weird seeing numbers all around mine get theirs, but not a peep from Tesla. I called this morning & they said that it...

NCIC, I'm just down the road from you in Shreveport. I'll be getting mine within the next few weeks (Jan 31 - Feb 13). Where do you plan to charge it other than home? I only see Nissan dealers on most of the EV charger location apps, except for Tyler... Funny, I think that we even ordered...

Awesome, Ceilidh!!! Remember to breathe deeply & post pics!

How are people getting insurance without a VIN? We have insurance on our other cars, but wouldn't we need the VIN for the Model S?

damianku, Haven't heard word yet on where it's coming from. I've heard that they're building a Service Center in Dallas, which is a shorter drive than Baton Rouge (3 vs 4 hrs). Will keep you posted - today I just got my NEMA 14-50 electrical outlet installed in the garage in preparation...

damianku, Welcome! MVPA stands for Motor Vehicle Purchase Agreement, and are the legal documents that you must sign to get your car. It has the pricing for all options, taxes, etc., spelled out for you so that you know what your final payment to Tesla would be. In my original MVPA the...

Got the MVPA straightened out (thanks, Louisiana - :mad: ). Anyhow, as soon as I clicked Submit on the MVPA, I got the Delivery button! My dates are Jan 30 - Feb 13. Hot dog, I AM EXCITED! P5058, Pacific Blue (I like that name), Tan Leather/Obeche Gloss, Pano Rook, Tech, Sound Studio, Air...

Arrgh! I made a change to my MVSP (added Tech Package), and found a number that I think was wrong in the new one (Prep/Title fees went from $187 to $1627). I KNOW that once I get this straightened out I'll get my Delivery button! Gotta get serious about cleaning out the garage! Happy New...

I'm waiting for SuperChargers between Dallas & ABQ myself, as I love to travel there each year!

+1 I'll probably go the Lloyd's route...

@Discoducky, I'm doing the same exact thing. Want the Red, but I'm not willing to wait that long, so I'm sticking with my original Blue order. I'm also a 60kWh battery guy, so I'm hoping for the delivery experts to get in touch with me kinda soon!

You guys are too funny! :biggrin:

Just decided tonight - London Symphony Orchestra & Sir Colin Davis' rendition of Holst: The Planets, Opus 32, Movement IV - Jupiter, the Bringer of Jolility (whew, what a mouthful). Heard this tonight, and it's SO powerful and inspiring...

Nooooooooo! I'd thought that I'd be the first S in Louisiana! Darn that 85kwh priority! LOL! Whoever you are, hope that you enjoy it as much as I plan to.

That's good news. We might be able to actually get to 230 miles (ideal range). I haven't been able to wrap my head around the ideal/range? info from the dashboard. Which is more accurate?

It looks like these are all 85 kWh cars; could TM be batching the orders by battery pack size? I'm a 60 kWh - has there been any of these delivered yet?
