A tragic accident. My condolences to the deceased family and friends. Regarding fire, wondering if 100D vs 90D battery pack is more vulnerable to penetration since it appears to have one group in front of the enclosed frame of the main battery pack?

Here is a recent comment from Tesla: "Tesla Says Car Fire Began in Battery" "....Company spokeswoman Liz Jarvis-Shean said the fire Tuesday was caused by a large metallic object that directly hit one of the battery pack's modules in the pricey Model S. The fire was contained to a small section...

I did something pretty dumb yesterday. Left home yesterday and left my cell phone on the roof of the car when exiting the garage. Drove slowly and when accelerating from a stop sign heard a bump along the side of the car and then remembered what caused noise as it fell. I made a u-turn and...

Friend of mine just had his standard Model S serviced recently and had a P85 loaner for a week. He was really impressed with the effortless acceleration which was noticeably quicker than the standard model, especially in the 0-40 mph range. At one point he briefly got up to 80 mph and noticed...

Drayson Racing electric car sets new world speed record Interesting development for electric cars on the F1 scene. Wonder if Tesla will develop and enter a car in the future? BBC News - Drayson Racing electric car sets new world speed record

Just picked up my P85 in the past 3 weeks and have driven over 1000 miles, loving every moment. Colleague at work says, "beautiful car but the carbon footprint must be massive; more than an ICE SUV when you figure the battery manufacturing, build and operation of the vehicle over its lifespan"...

I'm hearing $1300 per rim through Tesla so repair of the rim may be worthwhile to investigate. I scratched the right rear rim in the first few days of ownership while parallel parking and now have the mirrors angled down while in reverse and am very careful when backing up and usually end up 18...

Great informative article and resource for would-be BEV future purchasers!

Has anyone who received a delivery date for their car had to postpone or cancel taking delivery? I anticipated a delivery date of May-June and just received an email notifying that our car will be ready this month or first week of April! Unfortunately I'm just in the process of buying and...

I'm hearing that the Model S 60 KW model may be the best value for the dollar with some of the popular features added as well. Sure it would be nice to drive from SF to LA but it's much easier to fly. Most of us don't drive more than 200 miles per day. And with the supercharger option for the...

More Details But No Answers on Boeing 787 Li ion Battery Fire This report just came out today. Doesn't appear that there is any internal cooling process in these batteries. Different chemistry than Tesla battery pack? New Report Points to Risk With Boeing 787 Battery - The Daily Beast

I test drove a Volvo S60 a few months ago and it has an accident avoidance feature which briefly and automatically stops the car when traveling under 20 mph if you are going to hit something ahead of you. Especially useful in stop and go traffic. In fact during the test drive, the dealer had...

I'm undecided between gray and tan performance interior with blue exterior. Can someone share pictures of both interiors with me? Multicoat red is a great color. I'm just more of a blue guy

I've driven both the performance and non-performance sedans back to back. 0 to 40 the acceleration feels almost identical. Above 40 mph the performance has almost a "violent" surge of acceleration that is exhilarating. The non-performance is extremely quick as well and it has the same (but...

I'm just about to finalize my paperwork with the current configuration of 85KW battery, blue, panoramic roof, tech package, tan leather, active air suspension, partial shelf, paint armor and twin chargers (for possible future upgraded home charger) and 19" wheels. This totals a surprising $98K...

This was a trade in on a Fisker according to the dealer

Got an email today since I had expressed interest when on EBay. Car apparently "sold" for $79.5K but deposit was never received. Told that "anything close to that" will buy the car.

Is this a sign that the market is starting to move on these vehicles as we get closer to delivery of the Model S and unveiling of the Model X?

Winning bid: US $70,300.00 That seems like a great value.

What do you think the RAV4EV due out this summer will end up having as a real world range? How would you compare the drivetrain and battery pack with the Active E?

I've applied to lease the BMW Active E in California last week and was thinking of leasing it for the next 24 months until the Model S sedan is available. I'm now scheduled for a home inspection for charger installation. I also have a deposit on the new Toyota RAV4EV which has the Tesla...

#1463 Now reported to have sold........

Stopped at Menlo Park store a few days ago and saw white Model S Beta on display with chassis section as well. Shows off low center of gravity of battery pack and the small amount of space required for the rear drive motor.

1463 Still in Menlo Park Store Last Roadster, #1463 is still on display in Menlo Park store without a "Don't touch, customer owned car" on it. I assume that it may still be available. Close to $200,000 with all options. Suited for collector most likely.

Further info: This is the standard model although it does have the upgraded suspension and wheels found on the S. It comes with one standard charger (not rapid). More pictures are posted on the listing and :: 2020 Motors :: . No hard top. Market value: $80K-90K?

Another wrecked salvage roadster for sale on EBay. Looks pretty good from back end. Don't see pictures showing damage. Tesla Tesla | eBay

This seller originally had it listed as a buy-it-now for $75,000 and it sold but seller cancelled sale. He relisted it for buy-it-now for $85,000 and auction ended with high bid in $73,000 range. Third relisting is noted above. Some questions were raised about condition and proper storage of...

#66 Excellent Condition and Great Value Sorry to pass up purchase of #66 which is in excellent condition but timing isn't right for me. I understand that it can be purchased for $65K before it's listed with broker on Monday and includes hard top and fast charger.

Looks like at least $60K when all said and done for a salvage vehicle. I'd choose a like new used 2008 for $70K instead. Seems like a lot of salvage vehicles for the total production run. Is this just the nature of a high performance sports car or is there something common to driver error...

Car looked very good but black isn't my first choice. Wasn't this supposedly Leonardo DiCaprio's car initially?

Looks like the salvage auction closed at $28000 or above for this vehicle and estimated costs of repair at the time were $11000. Seller is now asking $46000. Quite a mark up for the car considering the unknowns. What would be a reasonable offer and how best to assess frame integrity?

You're right. A number of cars are still being assembled here in Menlo Park and have not yet been put into inventory.

Congratulations! I talked to sales person right after first deal fell through and he turned down $90K and was firm at $95K. Really nicely equipped. And I agree with you. My first priority would be to change those mirrors!

As of this morning, I'm just seeing 11 total in US, 1 new and 10 demo cars....all 2.5 Sport Models $130K and up to $160K

So is the freeway range of Leaf realistically about 75 miles? We've had a 2002 Toyota RAV4EV with a range of at least 80 and closer to 100 + miles. I agree that if the Leaf had a range of 120 to 150 miles, it would be my only needed car
