It looks like there is approval for a Tesla supercharger in Lovelock: http://www.cityoflovelock.com/sites/default/files/11-12-14%20regular%20meeting.pdf Building Permit #1369 is listed toward the bottom of page 2, with the address being 150 Main Street. More progress!

Check out this post (down the page a bit) about building a supercharger in West Wendover. Here's the page: .::West Wendover::. Here's the article: TESLA CHARGES UP IN WEST WENDOVER Sounds like they expect to build additional superchargers in Elko and Winnemucca. Good news for cross country...

I agree with the points you all have made. While the Nevada supercharges show on the map as being completed by the end of 2014, there has been absolutely no indication that they are indeed in process. Of more concern, it does not seem that the two shown on the map would be sufficient to...

Northern California has probably the highest concentration of Model S owners of anywhere in the country, and maybe the world, and yet we cannot go directly East across the country (on route 80 or 50) due to the lack of superchargers in Nevada. It looks like very few (maybe 3?) would be required...

I didn't read every post on this thread, but has anybody proposed using the phone app to send an alarm when your charging is done? I have parked at Folsom and gone shopping, which can stretch a half hour into an hour. When I was there, there have never been any other cars waiting. But if I...

Is there any way that we can get a letter writing campaign started to encourage hotels to install chargers, or at least 240 volt outlets? I would like to take my car on road trips, but plugging it in at a Walgreens does me no good. Charging while on a road trip will take 5 to 10 hours (without...

Picked up my Model S at the Factory this afternoon - thank you Lauren! Sig #566 VIN #452 Signature Performance Signature Red Black interior with carbon fiber Panoramic roof Carbon fiber spoiler Paint Armor 21" silver wheels HPWC later Parcel shelf later Does have the cubby under...

I got the call this evening (on 10/19), which was both good news and bad news. Good news because they said my Model S is ready for delivery tomorrow (10/20)!!! I am Sig reservation #566, VIN #452 and I live in Berkeley and will take delivery at the factory. The bad news is that I am on a...

Has anybody considered that the "quality conrol" holdup might merely be that Elon Musk has been tied up with SpaceX and the launch and engine failure of the the Falcon 9? Since they have said that he is still inspecting every car, I keep thinking that he just hasn't had time to make it to...

Just got my email at 8:48 tonight, and responded!!! Very excited! Signature #566 Performance Signature Red Panoramic roof Spoiler 21" silver wheels Black performance interior Carbon fiber decor Paint armor HPWC All of the standard signature options except rear facing seats I live in Oakland...

m.rudolf: I only measured the flat part of the trunk, the area between the bump ups for the wheels. The actual width is quite a bit wider, from the side of the car to the side of the car. Unfortunately I did not measure that dimension.

I measured the back of the Model S at the Fremont event, and the floor dimensions with the seats down were 72 inches deep by 38 inches wide between the bump ups for the wheels. I did not measure how wide it would be if you put something on top of the wheel bumps, so don't know if that would be...

On July 1st, in the Unknowns thread, Spatters0911 had a list of changes and/or additions that they are working on for the Model S. These include motorized folding side mirrors, and proximity sensors for the front of the car. Maybe the pause in production is also allowing them to include these...

Notiiceably absent from the list of reviews is Car and Driver. Is that normal? Does anybody know why?

At the risk of overkill, I am also adding a test drive video to this thread. I generally don't like to be on camera, and I have never uploaded a video to YouTube, but since this car was SO FUN to drive, and also since this video has a couple of things people were interested in seeing, I decided...

FYI - It is only 2:40 PDT right now. So don't worry that nothing is streaming quite yet. Just a few minutes more...

#566 - Got my email. Signed up for 2-3 pm on Saturday. All time slots are still open. Yeah!!!

OK, in the glow of getting my email today I will post something that has been on my mind for a long time. It is probably too late now, but wouldn't the Model S have been the perfect Bond car? Imagine 007 calling up M on the 17 inch screen, shooting rockets out of the frunk, etc., etc. It's...

Thanks swegman! It seems like I should wait to drive the car, but on the other hand I can't even imagine not getting my Model S at this point! I can barely wait!

I am Sig #566, so received my email today. A lot of people had been asking for test drives before locking in. Is anyone who received an email today waiting for the test drive in Fremont before locking in? Or is everyone sending in their configuration today (or tomorrow)? If I wait for the...

SigS905: Have you made up your mind yet regarding the wheels? I am Sig 566, so I got my email today. I have been torn as well as to which wheels to order. I actually think the carbon grey wheels will be better with the black interior and carbon fiber accents. Take a look at the VIN#1 photo...
