Up for sale is a set of custom one of a kind very light-weight mono-forged MORR VS5.2 rims. They have a custom gunmetal powder coat done by Kwicksilver (awesome wheel finishers in the Bay Area). I picked this color to have them stand out a little against my silver P85. They also have matching...

I highly recommend Kwicksilver Wheel Repair of San Francisco (actually based in South San Francisco). I have used them for 4+ years to fix scrapped alloy wheels and just change the color of sets of wheels across three teslas and 4 set of wheels.

Definitely look us up for lunch. We are former Minnesotans, having lived for a while in Maple Grove before heading West. Love the financing suggestions: the honesty and pragmatism of the "expense" column, and the you-only-live-once of the "entertainment' column, versus the likely placement...

Hahaha. We have also been a two Tesla family for about 1.5 years and covered 35K mikes across them last year. My wife just told me to keep my sig and get an X too, because she was tired of my anguishing over selling my beloved sig versus her newer suspension P85. The trick now is where to put...

Pretty steady 20k/yr over past two years

I have a 70 mile Bay Area round trip along 280. This is up and down hills with traffic in the left lane running 75-85 mph. Occasional short passing bursts at 90, and I use 100 rated miles for the 70 mile trip which suggests you should be fine with a 140 mile commute, unless you plan to go...

I think that is a much cheaper option, and honestly what I did originally. I think what you get for the higher price of the microSD/ elago solution is a much cleaner look where the USB stick doesn't protrude from the center stack. If you ignore looks/space required and wanted lots of storage I...

OK following in pdljmpr's foot steps I have upgraded to 128gb micro SD. I used this set up: USB adapter: Amazon.com: elago Mobile Nano II USB 2.0 microSDHC Flash Memory Card Reader -Works up to 32GB- (Black): Electronics 128gb micro SD card: Amazon.com: SanDisk Ultra 128GB MicroSDXC Class 10...

Now at 31,292 miles after 18 months. Sig P85 averaging ~350wh/mile. Stock 21" continental DW tires for first 22K miles, then staggered 21" setup with Continental 5P tires. Similar wh/mile with both tire/wheel setups. I think better alignment/camber bolts and lighter wheels balance stickier...

Wow surprised and sorry you got keyed! I am also in Los Altos and regularly park on the street in most communities on the peninsula and SF. I hadn't realized that I have been fortunate and/or lucky to avoid intentional damage. I am not sure I would be able to handle it with as much equanimity...

Any luck getting the 128gb card to work? I would love to upgrade from 64gb...

I just put contisportcontact 5Ps on my sig P85. My staggered setup is the similar to yours 9" 245/35 r21 front and 285/30 r21 rear. This replaces OEM Conti 21s. First impression is I like them, but they have only been on a couple of hundred miles and I haven't had a chance to push them hard...

@tdiggity At grade school drop off Los Altos, three sig red model S all dropping kids in the same 2-3 m window. If only I wasn't driving one I might have a pic ;)

I was quoted $1600 at Burlingame service center. I haven't had to replace tires yet but was curious.

@blurryeyed I have similar miles 16,000 on original continental 21s. Rotated at 4k and 11.5k. P85, 350kw/mile lifetime ave. can't remember exact rear camber but it is out of spec too negative. Driving 90% highway miles at 65-85 mph. Drive near speed limit in city but usually take turns at speed...

10 months and 15,500 miles. Can't believe how great the car is daily use. It represents stunning engineering and business model achievements. ICE tech has been around for more than 100 years, and now out of nowhere we have a fundamentally different personal transportation option. Wow!

Instant daily driver for long commute and kid hauler for me. Used it so much aka couldn't share ;) so replaced wife's car with a second daily driver/ kid hauler from Tesla ;) IMHO one of these cars is better than a separate sedan, sports car, minivan, wagon or mid-life crisis mobile. YMMV...

8 months and 12.5k miles. After a month I realized I might have trouble sharing, and secretly put down a deposit for a second for my wife. By December the kids called me out for not sharing ;). My wife agreed to get the second Tesla to beat the price increase. Basically we LOVE the cars! Drive...

I got free rotation @ 5k when I brought car in for other items. 2nd rotation and alignment covered by service plan at 12k. I paid $25/ wheel extra for balancing at 12k service. It looked like two wheels needed balancing from the "appearance" of the wheel weights after the service. Tesla didn't...

Invite and the X event were nice. Most of us also got a Tesla logo gym bag. Agree with other posters that there is no need to reserve sig early. People drop of the list as delivery gets close, making room for wait listers to move up. Benefits were minimal unless the sig premium price allowed...

8 months, 12,500+ miles later and I completely agree! Best car ever!!!!! We have become a 2 EV (read Tesla) family and have had no worries (and no problems) with range, road trips, etc. Though we do mostly stay local to CA. I also charge lots away from home. I make it a game to charge whether...

I also have the original tires on my P85 (21" Contis), and also just crossed 12k. After a few months of flooring it at every stop light, and general looking for chances to carve through mountains and pretend my commute is on the autobahn, I now drive fast when necessary (or when an opportunity...

I play the park next to another Sig Red and take a picture game ;) I am up to two photos, plus another three hits before my kids came up with "the game".

+1 NEWDL used same logic and purchased same for both my P85s

I jumped off the ledge last year, and 10k miles later, I am still loving so many things about this car: instant acceleration, style, electronics, room for family, fact that I no longer think about my next Ferrari, Maserati, Jaguar, Porsche, etc. Only word of caution: your wife will want one...

I'm sig 457, took delivery early Jan, and I had the kids seats retro fit in Dec. You should definitely call and politely but firmly get yourself inserted into the service queue. The kids love the seats though heat rejecting window film is highly recommended for the rear window.

I have two and the app works fine. In the category of too much information ;), my wife and I no longer call to see who will be home first/ where are your/ etc. We just check the app and we can see where the other car is. We have even called and reminded each other to plug in while traveling...

Medved which reader did you buy? I tried the elago from Amazon and it is recognized on my laptop, but in the S. Did you format the card before using it?

Three quick thoughts: 1.Speed: Don't lend your car to celebrity friends. Long history here of celebs, getting behind wheel of exotic car X, flooring it, and trashing car. With the insane speed of the PS this is likely a kinetic impactor event, somewhat like the meteor impact in Russia :)...

Any thoughts on how to hand small items from the driver to kids in the jump seats, other than plan ahead...

Oddly enough I was just looking at this collapsible red step stool on Amazon: BR Plastics 101-6R-RED EZ Foldz Step Stool : Amazon.com : Automotive

@chgd Up I had the trouble trying to fit the cover behind the seats. My cover might be even bigger than yours.,, For those keeping track Sig 588, notified child seats available about two weeks ago, but couldn't get them installed until yesterday due to travel. Kids already in love and insist...

How right you are! Contrast that 3 hour nightmare with 1/2 hour of supercharging at Hawthorne on a sunny afternoon on our recent road trip to Disney. The 3 and 5 year old got out and ran around the reflecting pool in front of the supercharging oblisk for 1/2 non stop, had a civilized bathroom...

I don't think this is normal, and had it fixed on my car. I had this happen with the driver's side passenger door. I flagged this as an item when I was last in for service. Apparently there was a fix, though I am not sure if it was hardware or software. No problems with accidental release...

Interesting. I am also awaiting rear facing seats, but do not have those latches on the 2nd row. I got my car a few months ago, and perhaps they had not finalized the design at that point. I wonder if this means they will have to remake all or part of the 2nd row for those of us with early...

How did you find out the seats were available for installation? Did Tesla contact you? I am quite interested in crossing rear facing child seats off my due bill...

Have no fear. I took the kids from Silicon Valley to Disneyland last month. Here are quick watch outs in case you are nervous: 1. Only one charger was active at Harris Ranch so it is good to have some flexibility on timing if you have to wait. When I went I left my mobile number in the car...

Ditto

I reserved early on the 27th. Sorry for the slow reply. Busy at work.

Sig 588 has been so fun to drive, we now have another Model S reservation P14,781 :wink:

There was a problem with the primary charger. It was replaced. So far no problems with the new unit.

Bonnie suggested I post my experience with Tesla service. Bottom line is I am really impressed: completed all requested work, fixed other important stuff I hadn't noticed (after notifying me), made common sense suggestions to improve my experience. This is a big contrast to standard dealer...

I wanted to add that Tesla service exceeded my expectations with respect to the charging issue and got me back on the road on Sunday shortly after contacting the Menlo store, despite being closed for service! :biggrin: The experience of having the car is so great that I think I am transforming...

Wow talk about service. I swung by the Menlo store/ service center to drop the car off. A tech was around and even though service isnt open on Sunday, he cleared the error codes and charged up my car while I waited. I am posting from the car as a take a spin on a glorious Fall day. Still some...

The car did charge. When I got home from the factory, I plugged into the 14-50 outlet and charged for about an hour at 40amps with the electrician who installed the plug monitoring and learning about the car. The outlet is on a dedicated 50amp breaker in its own panel. This was the first...

Thanks Bonnie! I kicked myself for not doing exactly that when I realized that some of the error codes cleared. Hopefully there is an internal log of the codes the techs can read out in service.

Anyone have trouble charging? I get the following error message: Car Needs Service Unable to Charge There were some additional messages about the charging system overheating but I foolishly didn't write them down and now they no longer display. For context I picked up my Model S Performance...

Picked up Sig #588 VIN #457 yesterday at the Fremont factory. Fun tour with the kids and great experience taking the car home. Sadly woke up this morning to a charging problem in the car so off to service on Monday :( Sig Red/ White & Carbon Fiber (no spoiler) Performance Little cubby Due...
