    Worth taking delivery early if can only drive for a month?

    I would dely deliver. If you don't dely and decide on storage for three months find a place to have it plugged in. Check w/ Tesla a simple 110 outlet might be enough. If not find a friend to charge it once a week.

    Tesla moments

    Stop at a 7-11 for a drink. As I was exiting the store, the person coming in looked at me and said, "nice car". I guess the Tesla Grin gave me away. Had the car 36 hours loving every minute!

    Speed Assist and Lane Departure Warning

    Our ACC on the Avalon has a laser system. The parking sensors give a warning of cross traffic when backing up. The warnings have been triggered by cars moving into the backup area 100 yards away.

    Proper use of forum

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Phatman - I got the build time from post 6852 in this thread I posted a few weeks ago... See blow. I was amazed they can turn them out that fast. They redid the line to handle 3000 units a week MS or MX. It will probably take a year or more to get things running that speed and maintain quality...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    phatman - in a normal setting my understanding was 3 day on the old line and once the kinks are worked out it will take 2 days on the new production line.

    Current status of Firmware 6.0 ?

    Mike - per Elon 6.0 will be out soon... Other than beta testers I don't think anyone has seen it. Beta tester are under NDA's. Last rumor I saw thought 6.0 might be linked to Apple iOS 8 being announced. Your guess is as good as any. FYI

    3 weeks until delivery and I had to cancel

    Durban73 All is not lost! In a few years thing may turn around, the wait time will be less, the range a little better and 6.0 might be released. I cancelled my original order Sig #113 due to a house purchase and remodeling cost. Things happen. Bottom line Tesla will be here once things get...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    LonghornDub- your VIN is about 40+ greater than mine. My status is "Production Queue". I have an email off to my DS as of tonight. My DS and Tesla overall have been great to keep me posted. My best guess is your MS will arrive first. Mine should follow shortly as the line catches up. That is...

    Your Model S has entered the production queue at our Factory in Fremont, California

    Bonnie I agree with everything except your last sentence. This car company is magical! They are putting processes in place to give new owners a "feel" for where their car is in the process. Communication is a powerful tool to keep buyers informed and anticipation in check. I have actually been...

    Your Model S has entered the production queue at our Factory in Fremont, California

    My status got changed to like many other to the production que. I am very comfortable Tesla will deliver my MS within the next two weeks VIN 498xx. The delay is reasonable IMO and it seems others are not pleased with the delay. Tesla is growing and I see this minor delay as very minor. We have...

    Delivery Delay - 2014 Model S

    @Bonnie thank you for the read out. Nothing beats boots on the ground. Two questions for you: 1- Did you depart Tesla more optimistic than when you arrived? 2- Overall could you comment on employee moral and attitude. We took the original factory tour pre production. At that time moral was sky...

    Delivery Delay - 2014 Model S

    I can live with a delayed delivery. Tesla is a startup bringing a disruptive car into a entrenched industry. Frankly I might be more concerned if they cranked out cars, delivered them and then checked the quality. I may get push back about being a startup but they are IMO. They way I look at it...

    Photos of car interior taken apart for sound deadening

    Wow, thanks for sharing the pics. Any chance you tested decibel level pre and post work on the same road? Overall how do you feel the noise level has been reduced? I noticed in another thread you mentions the stereo sounded much better.

    highest VIN number in production?

    My 498xx planned delivery Sept 4. DS last Friday said it would be close but he thought they could meet this date. Today 500xx who was scheduled Sept 4 delivery got a call from their DS pushing out delivery at least 2 weeks. Has anyone had a delivery after August 18? Or even had their status...

    Placed Order Today

    Welcome aboard! My Peal White shows up in two weeks. The wait has been tolerable reading reading and reading some more. I find myself treating my ICE like a MS half the time. Silly things like ICE lining up to the HPWC so I can plug it in once the MS arrives. Without a doubt the best decisions I...

    To Boldly Go Where No EV Has Gone Before

    Until I read your trip report, I was having FUD about not driving the SuperCharger routes. And since we are on the Texas SC island I thought we were stuck. Now I realize my adventure begins with a little more planning. Good bye FUD, hello open road. Thank you for sharing.
