I normally take my dog wherever I go, but when on long trips, he gets his potty break first (a walk around the supercharger areas), and then I (normally) visit a store or restaurant to do my own business. To each there own. If you are able to take your pet inside the facilities with you, then...

Nice Post! RE: 4. I hadn't thought of it like that but totally agree with you. Gotta keep the high-end vehicles "high end" to entice buyers. RE 8. Oh please Tesla do not go to the dealership model. This one of the facets of Tesla that I really like. I do know how to haggle for price on a...

I agree... I can’t seem to avoid the nag even though I almost always keep two hands on the wheel and perform the rotational movements as you mention.

Just to confirm... When you say "via pressure", you do mean that you are applying a left or right torqueing movement to the wheel and not simply gripping the wheel harder (as if squeezing a water bottle). I'm not meaning to offend, just hoping to clarify. Thank you for your post.

He said Black is cheap??? OMG, I LOVE black. The fact that I didn't have to pay extra for it is icing on the cake. They could charge extra for "every" color option and I would have STILL selected black. Okay, I did get the 19" sport wheels.... but cheap?? Ugh Like Runnergirl said (I'm...

Same happened yesterday inside neighborhood with speed bumps. MS was riding my $&@ like he wanted to kiss it. I ignored him until my turn, at which time I simply gave a BIG hearty wave. Really creepy weird.

Yours is a perfect analogy. My post was an angry rant. Thank you.

My thoughts exactly.

Thieves trying the door before smashing window? My (non-thief) guess is that that is what I would do first to try and avoid detection. If locked, then I’d resort to breaking in. Back seat down? I’ve done (and on occasion continue to do) that as well. I’m hoping that they are browsing cars for...

Sorry, I called it a passcode. It is “pin to drive”. It’s been available since....mmm, don’t remember. But, I use it in lieu of worrying about locking. I don’t store anything in the car and maybe (just maybe) it will save a broken out window someday.

I used the passcode on mine so, while they could get into the vehicle they wouldn’t be able to go anywhere.

I just got the update and to confirm (that nothing seems to be consistent), my walk-away auto lock still functions while parked in the garage and connected to WiFi. Things that make me go hmm...

OP asked (as I did read) “...or am I wrong” which opened up the conversation to what functionality he/she might have if choosing instead to bring the car to USA. Also, in my post I wrote that I transferred a RHD (Right Hand Drive) Honda to/from Japan and USA. It is absolutely possible and the...

If your company pays shipping, as mine did for my RHD Honda CRV years ago, your warranty would only be an issue while overseas. Also, many of owners rarely visit SCs. Depending upon your mileage, that may be a non-issue.

Her nickname: Betty (after my mom) Her License name: NAH-ICE (as in, Nah for "no" and ICE which we all know) Her fullname: Betty Nahice (sounds like ”Very Nice” if you put a Japanese twist on it) 「日本語の活用形で発音すると「ベリー ナイス」のように聞こえます。」

I'm looking forward to your results, as I'll be encountering similar situation in early February at VA condo.

Informative post. I was about to reply that OP might need to have access to the gate opener "learn button", but your post set me straight. Thanks!

I chose to buy based upon the price crossing my prescribed number. If units are not selling (either because of supply glut, economic downturn, bad press, etc) the selling price will always reflect. There remain consistent ‘for sale’ vehicle numbers on the Tesla website (about 1,500 on any given...

Supply and demand.... You are venting to the wrong audience. We are either avid new Tesla purchasers or savy CPO purchasers. In either case, both are spending to a self-prescribed $$ limit. Even if your used Tesla was a Rolls Royce, it still boils down to supply and demand (at that particular...

Sorry... but, OMB (oh my Buddha) it’s hilarious bc I’m in nearly the same boat! Tesla wanted electronic due by 19th. Bank “mailed via pony express” the check this morning, the 20th. And this is my 2nd finances with them...Ya’d think they’d figured it out by now.

For price comparison.... I bought my pristine condition 2013 S RWD in August 2018, for $43K. It only had 24K miles on it. Subsequently, totaled it 8 weeks later (and 8K miles added) and insurance gave me $42.8K payoff.

100% TRUE.... I took the plunge Saturday (24 hrs ago) and received Delivery notice for Tuesday (2 days from now) at noon at my home. I ordered LR AWD Black/Black with 19” Sport Wheels and FSD.

@ASMills85 and @kelvin2: Thank you both. You just gave me an Ah Hah! moment. I hadn't even thought about them allowing the buyer to extend the actual pickup date. Problem solved!

Thank you for this input. I definitely needed to know, "how long does purchase take" and you nicely answered it! That timeline is MUCH quicker than I'd even anticipated. I've been watching and hoping to buy, but this info tells me I need to wait until at least post-Christmas to initiate.

Is the $2K shipping in addition to the mandatory $1K destination fee, or in lieu of the mandatory fee?

...and the potential CPO buyer’s fear level gets raised one bar. What happens to the sorry bloke that buys that S60, uncalibrated or unconfirmed faulty battery poS and then gets stuck with it bc all sales are final before ya ever get to sit inside it?

There are 11 listed on EV-CPO as of this evening. I'm still not ready to buy since I don't want the purchase to fall between the holiday weeks (Christmas and New Years).

IMO, CPO/Used are like an i-Phone. The new models are continually coming out and users are "new" hungry. Even the poorest of us walks around with the latest (or near-latest) version. Although WAY more expensive, I see Teslas in a similar fashion. So, I'd vote that the influence will more due...

I'm about to hit the (used) MS 100D BUY button but am concerned I won't be available for delivery (or driving to get it) if the transaction happens sometime between the next 2 to 3 weeks. The last time I bought, in August 2018, it was a CPO and it took 2 weeks 2 days from start to finish. As...

If you are still in the market, I'll give you a small formula I use (one of several but this one is my key reference): [Current Asking Price] / ( [End of Life] - [Miles Already Driven] ) = [Cost per Mile Ratio] I like to use 100,000 miles but that's just me using a stable number. Maybe you...

Oh My Buddha!!! I feel really bad for you but was still laughing reading your words. It's only funny until somebody gets hurt....then, it's hilarious! I'm sorta in your boat. I had a KC pickup and drive to Houston a couple weeks 'after' they cancelled the old 1,500 option. But then, I...

That'd be cool to see if you can pull it off!

Nice that it only says "a" mirror and not plural or more specifically the wing mirrors. I saw a report on Audi e-Tron SUV testing in Abu Dhabi. It has cameras and looked pretty cool. Audi e-tron first drive review: a solid SUV that happens to be electric

Is that an aftermarket front drive assembly? Where can I get one? :-)

I saw the same movie... at about 8 minutes left in the movie, as he starts to drive over the train tracks, the ICE sound is super noticeable. I was laughing my butt off.

Inductive super chargers, or at home inductive chargers. Obviously a distant future implementation because it would be a vehicle redesign; but, in the same way that I can set my iPhone on the charging pad and pick it up at any time, my Tesla could "sit on the charger" and quickly depart for any...

Looking to pull the plug soon and buy another used MS from one of these three delivery/service centers. (Kansas City, MO, St. Louis, MO, or Baltimore, MD) I had great luck with previous MS receipt at KC but am curious of current relavent dealings anyone might have had with any of these three.

I totaled my MS recently and wrote the Exec board requesting Tesla to implement a remote “Factory Reset”. They quickly replied and forwarded my request to the Vehicle Support Team to hopefully accommodate. So, your “Kill Switch” (for other intended purposes) is right along this same line of...

What @Fobble said... rear diffuser detached slightly. No biggie if someone were to ask me.

@alset: I believe you have a pristine and well-cared for MS. Very similar to mine that I recently wrecked and totaled. As a comparison value for anyone interested in buying -- I must exclude the 'speed tax' avoidance system -- feel free to view my "now defunct" but only 12 weeks ago "pristine"...

Where's the freakin' W (' O ') W button!! Excellent work!

My delimna as well. Totaled my 2013 S 85 and now looking at used 2016 S 90D/100D or new AWD 3. Although I could easily hit the buy button for the 3, it pains me to do so because I was SOOO happy with my S. - Portrait vs Landscspe screen - Liftgate pass through can haul 9ft 2x4s - It was mint...

Call me Curious George, as I’d be interested in knowing too. Thanks for your post!

And I am 2nd on a 2013. Same. No pay. And happy as a Lark too!

I took receipt of my MO purchased and TX bound MS on 8/14/18. During the purchasing time period of about two weeks, the status went from “$1,500 prep and we ship your MS to nearby SC” to “no more prep, no more shipping, no $1,500, come and get it.”

Do you know what data plans cost for non-legacy?

How are the quarter panels removed (and subsequently reinstalled)? I have rear right door and qtr panel damage.

A pop up rain dam very similar to that found on the MS sunroof would virtually eliminate this water intrusion.

Maybe set vents to “floor” only and see if this changes the noise reproduction.
