I'm sure you would be but now that I know that's all they are offering I'm not going to sell. I'm giving up the dream of the 70D and I'm going to ride it out in what has been a GREAT car. I wish I'd never entertained the idea of the upgrade but with WA Sale tax exemption going away 6/30 I...

Sadly RonnieKorbas is 100% right! I'm looking to sell my 2013 loaded S60 to get a new S70D before the sales tax savings in Washington expires June 30th and I was SHOCKED how low Tesla's offer was. NADA and Kelly Blue Book both have my trade in value around $61,950 but yesterday Tesla offered...

Ok, it's been just over a year at 22,000 miles with the Model S The lifetime average Wh/mile is 340. Here is how it breaks down by month. (I'm in the Seattle area so we don't get extreme low temps here and my car is not parked outside) Month / Year Average Energy (Wh/mile) TOTAL: 340...

I have a 60 kWh with the air suspension and 19" wheels.

I had a new hood installed on my Model S last week after my neighbor backed into my car and his Hertz supplied me with a very nice Mercedes E350 4Matic for 3 days as my rental. First, let me say that I owned a Mercedes C300 4Matic prior to my Model S and I loved it. I considered it an...

Wow, I'm shocked to hear there is a controversy over the regen on 5.8 because I hadn't noticed ANY difference at all. In general, I love 5.8 because I made the jump from 4.5 and I really enjoy all the new features. Really significant update. Here is the funny thing about the regen...

Absolutely. I'm so bummed that they have not yet sold this awesome rear console.

My S60 with 11,000 miles (delivered March 2013) still reported 205 miles last week after a max charge. I didn't observe the number immediately after it finished charging so it could have actually been a bit higher at some point. Either way, I'm thrilled that my battery is showing very minimal...

incredible picture. Was the new moon on the upper right added later or was that actually in the scene?

Question for Bteflyl8e and Phat78boy: how does the play full album functionality work with the Premium account? Do you simply say "Play (album) by (artist)" and it will start playing from track #1 as soon as you select it on the screen?

Umm. ok. Not sure what we are supposed to do with this observation. Perhaps we need a whole thread dedicated to whether or not 200 is a very early VIN but I would certainly say it was. As a person who is driving a new loaner car at the moment I can verify that LOTS has changed in the car...

I think we almost universally agree that seeing a movie while using a Supercharger is not OK. Even the OP acknowledged it's not OK. I've only used a SC a couple of times but both times I only stayed as long as I needed to get the minimum range I needed and I didn't leave the area.

THANK YOU PhilBa, I couldn't have said it better myself. I'm constantly surprised by the number of different topics that some folks on this board find to feel cheated or snookered about. I never would have guessed that Supercharger spacing would become the next item for owners to be agree...

Come on Kinddog, did you seriously just use the term cray-cray? NOBODY on this forum should be young enough to use that expression. When my 12 year old daughter says cray-cray I feel like I should respond with something annoying from the 80's like "gag me with a spoon!" :rolleyes:

Yep, I totally agree.

They go out of their way to say it's NOT a cooler. Here is what is listed on the product page: Note: Product is not water-proof and does not provide sealed insulation from temperature. Tesla does not recommend using the product as a cooler or as a secure container for items containing fluids.

REALLY? Wow, thank you very much for the post! That's exactly what I am going to do. I'll be glad to have to coverage but I really think they are messing up on the customer relations game with Washington customers if they are not going to honor the old price once they bother getting it posted...

This is a very interesting concept and I hope it works outs well. I'll be following your progress for sure.

Looks sharp but I don't think I'd pull the trigger on something like this unless they could match the gloss of the black paint a bit more closely. The black pieces that cover the trim appear to be sort of a flat black.

Both cars will get up and move out in a big, big hurry! The 60 feels great to me and gets lots of wows when I give test drives but P85 will certainly have more to give when you mash the pedal all the way to the floor.

I used Liquid Glass on my Model S because it doesn't have any abrasives and was quick to put on and remove. I was really impressed! I'm not sure if I know how to attach a photo but I'll give it a try here. This photo is the incredible shine/reflection from the hood of my black Model S after...

I'm also not that fond of the Fisker design but the good news for people who love it is that you can probably get one pretty cheap in about 6 months! :biggrin: If Fisker fails completely then the car that were exceptionally well cared for might be collectors items that could appreciate but I've...

You'll probably be happy to see that there appears to be a Supercharger planned for downtown Seattle. Not sure where they plan on putting it, perhaps the service center?

Come to the west coast and you'll find LOTS of RV lots without 50 amp service.

Why the heck doesn't Tesla offer a TT30 adapter? They are at EVERY RV park and that is certainly not true of 50 amp service. I realize it's only 110 power but it would be able to pull 24 amps at 110 volts if they made an adapter. On a side note, I've been trying to make a TT30 to NEMA 14-50...

Perhaps because we've been driving our Model S's for a while now! I assume they have still not started European deliveries but I understand it's very soon.

Let's be clear: They are NOT mutually exclusive. It's a heck of a lot easier/cheaper for Tesla to sell a CHAdeMO adapter in the US that already needs to be developed for Japan than it is to roll out more SuperChargers.

To quote Bill Murray in Stripes: Lighten up Francis! Don't hurt yourself getting down from that high horse.

I hadn't had any problems with 4.4 and it's been the best firmware so far on my car. It fixed a couple of really annoying bugs I was dealing with in 4.3. I'm glad I haven't had the issues that others have experienced but I guess I'm just trying to say that it's probably ok to simply install...

+1 Hate to pile on but I agree with my fellow detractors. Mass production of standard configurations only makes sense when you are trying to anticipate the needs/wants of a fickle public. Pre-sold and made to order makes much more sense.

Congrats! I'm 100% sure that you're going to love it!

Are you using scheduled charging? The reason I ask is that I also used to see 185 every morning on my MS 60 but since I started charging at 4:00 am I have been getting 190 miles of range every morning. I was losing 5 miles of range every night by letting it sit that extra 10-12 hours after the...

I could care less what the handles look like, I'd just love to be able to use those suckers! As far as looking like a gas station pump there is nothing wrong with giving people a form that is familiar and comfortable. In fact, the rather conventional lines of the Model S itself is an attempt...

Interesting and insightful prediction. Makes sense actually. I really hope you're right!

No, you would not get 8 years out of it because you'd hit the mileage limitation long before the # of years limitation. I also drive over 20,000 miles a year so I also bought the 4 + 4 plan because I knew that 100,000 miles would be here before I know it! So, in the end, we'll still get...

Yeah, we here in Seattle we don't get cold enough to really impact range but the hard rain kills us because we still allow studded snow tires in the winter. These studded tires have created deep ruts on our freeways that fill with water and dramatically increases rolling resistance. We're...

That was my understanding. You can hold off on the warranty extension later (before the original warranty expires) but I was under the impression that you had to decide on the 4 or 8 year service plan up front. I chose 8 years (100k) since I'm a high mileage driver and I'll blow through my...

Well, sort of. I have been on 4.4 for about a week and 2 days ago I was trying to show my wife how to reboot the 17 inch screen by holding down the 2 wheels and all sorts of strange stuff happened. First the 17" screen went dark (as expected) but it did not come back on. After waiting at...

Yep, I've got that for sure. I had the service center fix the creaking noise I had in the plano roof and told them I also had the wind noise (especially on windy days!). They had a fix for the creak but they could not replicate the wind noise and I was bummed it was not able to be fixed. They...

Very good point, I didn't even think of that.

Wait, what was the Service Announcement?!? I was still waiting to hear what that was going to be? Was it simply that they were going to offer the Model S Performance as the loaner cars? I hope not, that doesn't seem big enough to justify the hype of "we're going to reinvent our service...

This might be more appropriate to post in the firmware 4.4 section but generally speaking I'd say that I'm much less satisfied with the wiper speed in version 4.4. I would have thought that they would have made the rain sensing wiper settings much more sensitive in version 4.4 but I feel like...

Exceptionally well stated Chad. The fact that there are already well over 100 CHAdeMO chargers installed (largely in OR and WA) is already reason enough to release the adapter to the US market. It is important to note that these CHAdeMO chargers are not being paid for by Tesla so releasing an...

I find this OP very strange. If you wanted a lower priced Model S you certainly didn't have to order a Signature. You knew exactly what price Tesla was asking and you knew exactly what the general production cars cost. There was no mystery there. In fact, the Sig has always been a early...

The main thing I noticed after 4.4 was my top pet peeve was fixed: Prior to 4.4 there was only 3 lines of music info on the big 17 inch screen but the little display on the dash gave you all 4 lines of information. I was really annoyed when listening to slacker and the name of the song was not...

I had the 9500ci installed on my Model S and I really like it. It really is the gold standard at this time but I'm sure it's a bit more expensive than other competing models. The 9500ci is quite expensive but the hidden custom install is pretty awesome. After seeing DCopperfield's completely...

The genius of Tesla is the way they have communicated the important pieces of information in a clean, easy to understand format. I absolutely hate that goofy Prius graphic. We have several of them in our corporate fleet and all I ever hear people say is "I have no idea what the heck that crazy...

I think this may be the reason why Tesla seems to consistently report 0-60 times that are about 1/2 second slower than what owners and the car magazines are actually seeing. I think they want to be very conservative and report that slightly slower time so a car magazine can't say things like...

I've never posted a photo so let's see if I know how. Here is my black Model S with 20% tints on the sides and 5% (limo tint) on the back hatch.

No way, not me. Parking sensors would be fantastic. There are other solutions for 4G (including tethering to our cell phones which many of us will do anyway). There are no other cheap/free options for parking sensors. I've been told flat out by local Tesla reps that there are sensors in...
