Asked the Tesla SMS system how to cancel the Roadster and was told it could be done "In your Tesla account" which I'm pretty sure is as contrived as thinking the Roadster will arrive before 2028. I don't think 1% of management knows what is going on at Tesla and that starts at the top.

It’s now stuck in Nebraska ?? Not sure how a vehicle going from California to Florida makes it to Nebraska but who knows. Went to the Tampa dealer today to inquire and their entire lots are full of cars with license plants so bought and paid for vehicles under repair. Can’t wait to see the...

They are telling me it’s still in California. Any bad weather between Fremont and the southern route out of California ? I paid for it specifically to lock in the new contract price which had been reduced. What can happen, they keep my money and the car? Seems ridiculous but it’s the new...

Received my VIN number Dec 20th with delivery Dec 29 - Dec 31. Was given credit for the Dec purchase on my contract and have paid for the car. Now Tesla is saying vehicle is delayed due to severe weather conditions. I live in Tampa. Fremont to Tampa or Austin to Tampa where’s the severe...

After I called ready to go to the mat with Tesla I was greeted with my 5th sales rep who seemed a little more on the ball than the previous 4. Good sign # 1. While I explained the situation once more he sent me an e-mail while talking to me apologizing and wanted to resolve the issue. Good...

Last 2 months please ? Are they giving you any kind of update where they are in the process or just using your money to finance other projects? (Debt reduction) Seems purchasers have been waiting years so far. (And many more years into the future) The freebie Roadsters I get they will be...

Anybody out there who has placed a deposit for a roadster received positive verification that Tesla recognizes the deposit in the last 2 months??? Please give a shout out…….

More than welcome. After 2 months they can’t even acknowledge they have my 50k. They say I can cancel but since they don’t even recognize my deposit nothing occurs. Tomorrow will start the formal process of litigation. All I have is verbal acknowledgment they recognize my wire transfer and a...

After 2 months and with "hope" Tesla could actually e-mail me confirming my deposit (This is what was printed once you made your deposit in the reservation would occur) and 4 or 5 phone calls as reps saying I would get a notification soon, tomorrow will formally request my deposit back. How can...

Federal Taxes, adding 250 k to your income is bound to produce an interesting marginal tax rate albeit CA can get pretty nasty State Taxes.....good thing property and income taxes are low......

What I think a lot of referral winners don't yet realize is that they'll owe regular income tax (Fed+State) on the value of the Founder's Series Roadster (likely $250k). So take your combined effective tax rate times $250k and that's the tax these folks will owe in the year the award is...

After well over a month after my deposit was paid, I can't even get Tesla to confirm they have my money. (My bank shows the wire transfer going through) What was the address used to request the 50k deposit back? If they can't even acknowledge the deposit, how can they build a super car...

Third call occurred 2 days ago. They have until the end of the week to acknowledge they received my wire transfer now well over a month ago or I will ask for it back. How can one build a super car when you can't even acknowledge an order? This is not rocket science..........

After now one month since my order (And complete payment) still shows "pending payment" I'm about ready to throw in the towel with any hope that Tesla is serious about the roadster of the future. Acknowledging a wire transfer is not rocket science (Sorry Space X). After 3 discussions they see...

After still seeing "awaiting payment" for the wire transfer I called Tesla today and did get through fairly quickly to a person. They can see the wire transfer was made and not sure why their "system" is not updating. Seems a simple enough discovery process but the more interesting news was I...

"If you've got enough money to "loan" Tesla $50k, you have enough to open up a Private Banking account with a bank of your choice, which means your cost to wire funds is $0." The cost was $0 to wire but that is not the issue. Wire transferring 45K and not getting an acknowledgment for 2 weeks...

I'm not getting a lot of positive vibes when a company like Tesla can't even recognize a wire transfer that occurred now over 2 weeks ago. My account still shows "Awaiting Deposit". How can they build a super car when they can't even acknowledge an order in a timely manner? I've been a Tesla...

I accidentally left my heated steering wheel on for 5 days and lost a bunch of miles. Dumb on my part but surprised that it did not turn itself off after so many hours of sitting there. My mistake and learned from it.

Yes, it does still showing pending wire transfer. Actually talking to Tesla using the number given when they emailed me the wire instructions seems difficult at best. It’s good input on why they want a wire transfer. Went to their Wells Fargo account in Ca. Thanks.

To be clear they said they would send a confirmation email after the wire transfer which occurred now a week ago. In my account still shows “pending payment”.

A confirmation email as they as they stated they would do when the wire transfer was complete. This was sent to my email of record 10 mins after making the 5k deposit.

OK, I've decided to "loan" Tesla 50 k and hopefully get a roadster by 2025. Did the normal 5k on the CC and wired 45K to Tesla with the RN number they sent me of course. Been over a week and crickets. Tried to call Tesla and after 45 mins gave up. This is my 4th Tesla purchased. Why wire...

I’ve owned an S for many years and now plus a 3. Buy the adapters. Keep in the car. If you need a rotation give to the shop and ask they use these. If they look at you with a blank stare go to your car and show them where they go. All 4 if needed. Tell them to use there jacks at these...

I've had a great experience to drive my S for 3 years and the 3 for 6 months. Always have the adapter pucks with you regardless where you take your car. Costco who told me they do "hundreds" of Tesla tire changes when I walked around (They don't let you through the side door) saw they were...

I'm not back in Ohio till April. I can better document then. My method works great to take the majority of the weight off the tires but I'm not sure it's high enough for tire rotation. If I was to rotate the tires I'd use 2 hydraulic jacks and pucks. In 35 years using them never had one go...

I've got a little over a year to go on a S leased through Tesla. When I look under the car front bumper about 1 inch in there are scratches (probably a concrete parking pumper) they are 2 to 3 inches long and I'm pretty sure the credit card test won't hide them. Are these considered excess...

I have done this on all 4 of my wheels when I wanted to take the weight off the tires for the winter. The trick is to be able to raise the car high enough using the wheel lift to take the suspension play out. You need to place 2 by 6's on each side of the tire and use that to support the wheel...

I have been using this jack for years lifting all kinds of vehicles: 1.5 Ton Aluminum Racing Floor Jack with RapidPump® For 80 USD less 20% have not had one issue. It's fairly light weight and very easy to lift up to 6,000 lb. vehicle as long as it's a corner lift.

I tried the one jack on the front and the height needed to raise the rear was I felt unsafe. If you just want to do a tire rotation use 2 pneumatic jacks front and rear with adapters. It's easy and pneumatic jacks are cheap. This thread is a little divergent as some just want to rotate tires...

The jack stands I ended up using were from Harbor Freight (I gave my ones I cut down to a friend with a S) I did not use the top part that ratchets and the stand can support either way and reduces it down to ~ 9 inches as I remember. I store my 3 in the mid-west for the winter and take my S to...

Don't waste your money on $ 600 JackPoints (2 jacks) or the other supplier that wants $ 130 per wheel plus the Tesla adapter. Go to Harbor freight and buy there 1,250 lb. wheel lift (Lifts a 5,000 lb. car, at 89.99 less 20%) and then place an adapter (I use K-Motors but other will work I'm...
