Could not agree with you more sir.. Sheer embarrassment to how they do business.. Brilliant product, utterly unacceptable operation.

Section 179 is why it matters to a business owner.. Has little to do with the $7500 incentive. It's a depreciation write off.

It matters if you are a business owner.

Sadly, much of what I have heard in Orlando has not been close to true so far. :)

Local store telling me they are hearing as long as placed before the 4th.. (Tomorrow,) that X's should still be in before year end.. Sadly, seems no one really knows anything for sure. ;)

So looking at build, still showing delivery, (To Orlando, FL) by December.. Anyone able to confirm.... Any confidence of a delivery by year end if ordered this weekend?

It absolutely covers road rash... Rock chips in paint, punctured tires and replacement, etc.

Apparently corporate has approved my refund.. Back to scratch now.. ;)

As mentioned, this car is a September '18 production car.. So does have all the "latest and greatest."

So.. After telling my OA that I want to cancel my order because of their constant screw ups and being promised he would speak with his supervisor and see what concessions could be made.... I get a text from said supervisor 20 minutes ago, stating my vehicle has passed inspection and is being...

Sadly, nothing I wanted in Florida...

That's good. Big believer myself in road hazard protection. Many retailers like TireRack include it free. Tire and Wheel protection can also be well worth the typical, $250-$500 cost especially if you live in a bad road area of the nation like down here in Orlando. Pot holes, construction...

Absolutely sir.. $7500 federal and 100% write off due to weight and such. So yes, the primary incentive was getting delivery before year end. Not to mention, this one being 1 month old, it would be fully updated.. Now they are giving me the "The 72 hour OCR (order clock running) time frame...

A good quality tire shop will have no problem with a Tesla. Tesla has jack points just like any other car. Nothing at all special about them. As a Lotus owner and previous Corvette owner (Body flex if jacked wrong,) you learn the best ones to go to. Just avoid the "Bob's Used Tires" type places.

The good news about places like Tirerack.com is they often offer free road hazard on their tires. They will also ship it, often overnight, to a TireRack approved tire installer. Their prices are usually very difficult to beat.

There is no way to repair a sidewall puncture like that.. If a shop tells you you can, leave... Yes though, very easy to buy a single tire. I recommend you price shop: www.tirerack.com www.discounttire.com and www.amazon.com Confirm, but believe this is the one you are running...

Thanks for the input all. I did cancel the order... Adviser is still "working with his manager to see what they can do," but told them it would need to be a substantial concession to keep it. Regarding the inventory not the way to go route. If you check inventory, there are dozens, if not...

deal·er /ˈdēlər/ noun 1. a person or business that buys and sells goods. "a car dealer" No matter what they claim themselves, they are in fact a dealer.. ;)

Could almost tend to agree with this in hindsight, but in my example, the build date is September '18, so effectively only a month old. And the $700 for some is actually $8200 considering many believe that a new X ordered today might not make December delivery, even with a November showing.

Indeed sir... OP. I like you, came across this exact same situation. With the true question of would a freshly ordered model make it by year end, I also went this route.. Above items are all valid points.. One thing to consider, which I did and asked ad nauseum, is about any imperfections...

It is bought sir. Technically. Got finalization, account setup, communication with logistics in Vegas on shipping. Correct, was unable to find one closer. Had finalized on 75D, White on White, Premium, Ultra High Def, 6 seat... Sadly, this was the one.

Let me start by saying I bought an X, will be delivered soon.. I love the brand, love the X.. The "sales" model and such... Well get this... So as someone that went from the CPO/Used search to then finalizing on a new, in-inventory model, I am ASTONISHED by the experience I have had with...

Good afternoon all. Had a few posts recently as I was considering a used or CPO Model X. After a lot of debate and back and forth with the fiancee, I decided on a new Model X instead.... Being a business owner and all... Will be taking delivery within a week or 2. This one was in inventory...

Sorry for the delay.. Thanks all on this!

As always, thanks again for the great input!

Evening all. Bringing this thread back. I am about to go through this process. Assume, as mentioned would be best for me to have the seller contact Tesla Care in advance of my purchase?

Thanks sir.. Correct on the year. I have decided on only entertaining a late '17 model.. November/December build.

Since I am adding a vehicle to the fleet if you will, price is relevant.. Just cannot see adding that amount of pennies for the performance.. COMPLETELY believe what the performance is capable of, but just cannot appreciate that performance down here in Orlando anymore. 75D is the sweet spot...

Thanks outie.

Side note.. Reading the 5 seat does not have rear air? Can this be confirmed?

Wow! I really cannot say enough about the community on this site.. SO patient, so responsive. I truly appreciate the input each and every one of you gave me on my last couple posts. To recap, had been considering a CPO or used 75D X for a little while now. Asked a lot of questions, got a...

So have had my loaner Model 3 Performance for a few hours now. The performance is.. Well, stunning. Not sure I am in love with the fit and finish to be honest??? Compared to my time in the X.. More and more, feel my decision is leaning toward the X....

Older thread, but bringing it back since I am looking at options myself.. After living in Tennessee for a few years, which has pretty strict tint laws and now being back in Orlando, which seems a bit more liberal, I myself have never been hassled by my usually, sub-legal, tint.. About 10 years...

All great items.. We are still delicately walking the fence. As mentioned, I have a performance model 3 on loaner tonight, starting at 5, so will tell me a lot more... Also, heavily leaning toward the X right now, as the fiancee seemed to love it a bit more.. There are 2 models I am strongly...

The 12/17 does NOT have the shiny backs. Mobile right now but will for sure check that out.

Thanks for this sir. For the record, the unit I am considering is a 12/17 build date model. Not sure if that assists in maybe giving me input on component install. I've asked the dealer to check on the Sirius/XM, which I know is the indicator of the ultra high fidelity. I do know the value...

Morning all. Been spending some time on the 3 page as have been considering a new 3, or a used/CPO X. Tesla loaning me a 3 Performance overnight tomorrow, so will help somewhat in the decisions. Had all but planned to go that route until the dealer offered me some time in an X.. Car...

Really cannot say how much I appreciate the input from everyone! As mentioned, getting a performance loaner overnight on Sunday.. Will really tell me a lot having a night to run it wild. I can say though, I had no intention of liking the X as much as I did.. (Reason they try and make you...

Sadly, my dealer had only the performance or the single motor... Didn't have the option.

So the current dilemma.. (By the way, getting an extended test drive Sunday night of a performance model...) Have now ruled out used or CPO and thanks to all that had input on that. Have narrowed down to a dual motor, NON performance, (since cannot see paying $14,000 for performance and 20"...

Amen Sir!

Hey all. So went to my dealer and drove a Performance model.. Was stunning. Will admit.. Had me thinking. While there, also drove an X. 75D. Honestly, really felt insanely at home in the X. Yes, two different worlds there, but gave me a lot more to think about.

All good to know.. Site now says 4-8 weeks depending on options.. Considering the new route now.. Have a test drive scheduled at 11am. Here's hoping!

It is a good point!

Many of the ones available right now are sub 1000 mile range, so still virtually so. Couple with less than 2k miles for under $50k with auto.

Thanks sir. Will absolutely look into that.

Will absolutely post some VIN's and love the input on those! Most likely testing one tomorrow.

I just sold a '12 Evora S. Sadly, back here in Orlando, there is just no way to appreciate a canyon carver. Living the Chattanooga area, was a joy... Deals Gap (Tail of the Dragon,) and such only miles away... But down here.. It's useless. I also owned an Exige S back in the day.

Thanks much for this!

Down here in Orlando there are a dozen or so available.. All in the low $50k range.. Few high $40's, some nearly $60k. One unit in particular I am most interested in, they are acquiring a Model X and only reason for selling.
