off topic: the SLS electric drive is not a simple conversion to an EV (ICE, gas-tank out & battery, eEngine in). The body and the interior are almost the same, but the chassis is a complete different animal. IMO the chassis is a very important part of the car. Thats why I would never buy a...

I think U.S. and especially California is the place to asemble high-tech EV cars - you need a different skillset to acomplish this job - and the silicon valley has plenty of that kind. Ze germans should by getting slowly nervous by now... ICE has reached its Zenith...the new 3 cylinder engines...

i would buy it - it looks really classy, especially in thal blue! but that white one is just....... yiiiiikes

nice blue - would love to see the pics later :)

one more argument when discussing with naysayers ;)

indeed a comment that sounds very Toyota-like....

any news from the swiss signature guys? :biggrin: any communications from Tesla Motors?

nice :) Hong Kong seems to like the S - welcome to the forums

I can not belive this is possible, on one hand super innovative and on the other medieval....the whole lawsuit business is out of contol in the US. Fingers crossed that justice will win in the end.....in the interest of the customers

right - I know the numbers, with this landscape it is a nobrainer to get the power from there ;) I have been to Norway last year and I liked it :) we even managed to get 2 sunny days in Bergen :) Unfortuanately we had bad weather when we wanted to visit the Preikestolen

not much sun up there .... but of course I hope you get a water powered supercharger network ;)

that is the reason why Tesla will succeed in the end... great story, cool Model S owner

bought yesterday some TSLA - I could not resist :) Their product is outstanding - only supply issues make the stock currently stay below 30... but once their suppliers get their **** together (quote from Elon ;) ) we will enjoy the show

Tesla is the best of its kind - without the Roadster we would presumably not see any Leafs, Volts and co. It really made people think "cool stuff, I give it a try as it seems to work". Without this company I do not see much hope moving the EVolution forward. Daimler e.g. is financially heavily...

I was suprised as well at the beginning, but think about what the maintenance costs are for 10 years owning a car in this class? @ Tesla its clear 6000$ or (lets assume 6000 CHF in our case) any other car company for a car in the same region: 6er GC BMW, CLS merc, A7 Audi ? most likely the...

Hmm if you get the brake pads / windshield wipers plus some other (small) parts replaced as well as free software upgrades (navigation) it might be just about the same amount of cash spend at the end of the day. Plus the time that you wont need to spend going to a garage & organize replacement...

we plan to build as well a "dream" house...I planned it that way so it comes along with a dream car ;)

Hi mdol, actually yes - we plan to build a plus energy house a bit outside of Basel in the next year with PV, rain water tank , no heating system just a modern chimney/fireplace :) and the Model S just fits perfectly into the whole picture. No more burning oil - we need it anyway for many...

thanks for pics AnOutsider - you are a great asset to TMC :) sig red suits the silver 21" more than the performance ones

Hi LST and all, thanks for keeping us in the loop :) According to the "worldmap of reservations" it seems that Basel might have the highest number - even though It might not be very representative. However I personally think Basel does have this alternative/green vibe where the premium...

Tuesday is Tesla day :) yes... I believe I invested in the right company

Hi LST and linaser, you have very low EU nubers! It would be great if you could share with me your personal view of the car once you have collected the first experiances with it :) ! Would love to hear that from owners in Basel! Cheers

on topic - I would consider to get the 5 series BMW in about 1-2 years time from now... Hi Kevin - I do think there is a significant market chance for the Model S in Europe, and especially in Switzerland (that has the higherst Tesla/citizen rate worldwide btw). Maybe the Model S is not that...

Hi Eberhard - I wish I could have been there as well! I am betting now on a business trip to South San Francisco so that I might be able to visit the Tesla Stores. One of my work colleagues brought me a miniature "Hotweels Earth Day" Roadster as a present from his SSF visit :) ... I keep...

Hello everyone, I am following this forum for some time now, and I thought that it was time to join the party ;) I live in Basel (town of Banks, and Pharma) Switzerland and work in IT for one of the big Pharma companies. I am very exited about Tesla and their cars - in my oppinion they...

Hi Zämme, yes I do want to see the Model S in person as well before I place the order.... Unfortunately I could not go to Geneva this time but would hope to see it in Zürich later this year. My concerns are more with the space of the 2nd row - I do have quite tall family members (including...

I got lately some shares at 28 and keep following it - I am in for the long run and will buy more if it drops further, wich would be a very good price imho.... my limit would be 2 more buy-ins with the same volume (with partly recapital. later on). The company is great and I do believe in what...

To value and love the own employees will do the magic - no doubts. This is my first post, and as a potential Model S buyer It is great to see this kind of stuff - Go TESLA! :)
