Introductions

Hello! I'm from a small city in the north of Norway far beyond the reach of superchargers :D

First post on the forum, been a Tesla fanatic since the release of the Roadster and tomorrow is my first test drive of a Model S. #Model3 cannot come any faster!!! //Ray

Hello everyone, So glad to be here and be part of the Tesla community. I have been a big fan of Tesla since they were located in San Carlos CA developing the Roadster. This is where I used to live and I remember seeing the cars being test driven along Industrial Road. I'll be posting the...

That's how I have to explain to people where I'm from all the time. Thanks Johnny Cash. Folsom is a suburb of Sacramento and is really growing fast. So I needed a car that can go fast too!! Started researching the Tesla MS back in early 2013 and finally decided to just put my toe in the...

I think I'm going to be on this forum daily for the rest of my life. :-) Hello from Marine on St. Croix, Minnesota. The land of...not many roadsters. No way am I driving this in the winter. One snowfall and no one would see me over the snow drifts.

Hi everyone. I have my MS 90D on order, which arrives in about three weeks. Here in Orange County, CA a Tesla is as common as Toyota Camry, so I struggled with getting a MS because of that. Having recently moved to California from NJ, I've noticed that luxury cars here are more common in...

Howdy from Houston,TX! I’m not a native Texan, but I got my passport to Texas 40 years ago. I’m 68 and retired from Chevron/Gulf in 2010 after 42 years of having as much fun as I was allowed to in their IT department. I was the first Houston employee to own a Prius, that was in 2005. Boy did I...

HI folks! I'm on the cusp of ordering an S60D with autopilot and cold weather package. I make frequent trips (at least once per month, and I expect to need to go twice in the near to middle future) for family concerns between Syracuse NY and the Shenandoah valley in VA. Which is about 1000...

From a small city south of Boston, and I'm finally think that Electric cars are the Future, Just as long as they keep developing New & Long lasting Batteries...Everyone knows that at first recharged Batts are Great...but that go downhill gradually ...and then Dead !! Kaput !!!....throw them away...

Hello, New here, yesterday I put a deposit on a 2013 P85. My config: MC Red, Pano, Tech, Tan Performance Leather seats, Tan Alcantara headliner, Dual Charger, HiFi, Air Suspension, 19 in wheels, 47K miles for $55K. Expecting to take delivery mid/late next week. Super excited. Cheers.

Hi everybody!

Hey everyone! New to the forums but VERY happy to have found it. I think my husband is a bit tired of the word Tesla. It may get banned in our house until the Model 3 arrives. First time Tesla owner but been following them since the X was announced. Ordered a M3 day after release (fell asleep...

New to the forum. Pick up a Model X P90D with Ludicrous two weeks ago. Only got to played with it for two days before I had to fly to Thailand. Now that I'm back, I can start to enjoy the car. Here are some pics. Looking forward to connecting with other Tesla owners in The OC.

Hi, new member here in the Chicago area... deposit placed on a CPO 2013 Model S 60 at Highland Park Tesla. I should take delivery the first week of June. Buying this car was unlike any buying experience I have had. It's the only time I was told to go home and "we'll call you" when its ready. I...

Looking forward to taking delivery in the next several weeks. I really had not seriously considered a Tesla until I drove one and now cannot wait for delivery. Looking forward to joining the exciting group.

Good day, I am an OLD man looking at buying a NEW mode of transport. I live in a sleepy NE Texas town about 100 miles form Dallas. Although I am 67 years old I want to get a 70 D because of it's safety record & the fact that I am tried of buying gas & oil changes. Also I now own a VW Jetta TDI...

then you can say Gahanna, as in Columbus Ohio. Hi, I have a Model X White on order for June delivery. Currently driving a 2012 Volt which follows 12 years in a 2004 Prius. Just put in the 14-50 outlet in the garage to be ready... that should delay delivery somewhat. Eager anticipation is the...

Hi Tesla owners/tip of the spear of the electric motoring revolution, I'm a huge Tesla fan and a aspiring future owner when the Model 3 comes into my price range. I'm visiting LA at the end of June and it's on my bucket list to visit Tesla HQ in Fremont. I've read that you need to be a Tesla...

Hi All, Have always loved these cars...Never been in one but that is nothing new to me. I have a car habit which has grown along side of my company. As we have grown over the years I have been able to purchase many different "fun" cars along the way. I have always enjoyed searching for my...

Since we concluded I'm a nut in my first post and it's been some time since I last posted I figured I'd come back and reintroduce myself. Not sure where else to post this anyway :) I had planned on getting a MS for some time but needed to lock down a house first. Some progress has been made...

I've been lurking here for a month or so and finally decided to make an account. Currently a chevy volt owner but hoping to upgrade to a model S in the next few months.

I've been browsing the TMC forums for about a year or so and finally decided to sign up. I took a test drive of Model S 70D a few months back and it gave me the Tesla itch. I currently have a Model 3 reservation and am very much looking forward to joining the Tesla family!

Picked up a ModelX in Fremont about 3 weeks ago. Having fun learning everything about it - something new every day!

Finally ordered our MX75D. Can hardly wait for July! Love this forum. Seems most of the conversations are polite; that's so refreshing.

Hi everyone, Picked up my MS 85 ex demo about a week ago now (after a month trawling the forums for info). It followed a 'very' speculative test drive leading to me trading in the BMW 640d ICE for a silent rocket ship... Great to see all the info on here and owners from all over the world...

Hey everyone! Just officially joined this month from being a lurker for some time right after my wife surprised me with a Model 3 reservation on my birthday. I work in the automotive industry as a Design Engineer & have been an enthusiast since I was a toddler. From 2 wheels to 4, I'm into...

Hi Everyone I am a car enthusiasts since the childhood and do web development as my profession. In my free time I blog about automobiles on my website XAutoWorld.com. Joined this forum today after being electrified by the launch and buzz of the Model 3 ! At least someone's thinking about the...

I ever-so-willingly caught the Tesla bug after the Wired article on Elon and Tesla came out in 2010, and have been reading TMC ever since, at times avidly. Even though I didn't have funds to invest, I've been invested inwardly and silently. The adventures of Musk Industries and the...

Hi Everyone, This is my first post. I've been of aware of and followed Tesla / Elon Musk for many years. Two things kept me from actively using any products relating to that. First, I live in a major city, the old kind, where having a car makes no freakin sense. Second, the price of...

First timer here on the forum. I'm in a state that currently has a few dozen Tesla's on the road. The Supercharger network appears to be doubling in 2016. That's a NICE direction for resources. To my understanding NM is one of the hold out states when it comes to a Tesla sales and service...

Hello everyone. Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been thinking of replacing my vehicle for over a year and this past September, while recuperating from surgery I had the time to devote to some serious thinking on this very issue. I'd admired the Tesla brand since they first hit the road...

After lurking around on this forum for quite a while, I finally became a member. Looking forward to lots of further insights and good discussions! While patiently waiting for my MC Red face lifted Model S... :)

Hi All, Hello from the greater Chicago area. I've been lurking for a long time now. Finally ordered an S last week and put in a reservation for a 3. Thanks to all the current members - your posts have certainly helped!

I live in Victoria, British Columbia and am happy to see, based on a quick forum search, that there are other Islanders here on the forums. I ordered a Model 3 on April 1st, this will be our first EV. We currently have a 2007 Hyundai Entourage, so moving to a smaller vehicle alone will be a big...

Picking up my new Model S in Marietta tomorrow! So excited I probably won't sleep... Commented to my friends that the test drive was like driving my iPhone: everything just where it should be, all features present and accounted for. It will feel like my favorite shoes when I slide in tomorrow...

Hello all, just another one of probably many new members here after the Model 3 unveil. I live in Homer Glen, IL (SW 'burbs of Chicago). I work midnights so I headed to my local Tesla store (Oakbrook) to reserve mine after work the morning of the 31st. By the time I got there there were...

Hello! Put in my reservation for a Model 3 about 5 minutes after the web site went live last Thursday. Not a current Tesla owner but hope to be one within two years (hopefully not 3!). From what I've been reading, we in the Bay Area are going to be the public beta testers for the first units...

I am very excited to have preordered the model 3. I did it online at 7:28 pm PST on the night of the launch. I then watched the same three videos repeatedly until The presentation began. I am now an information addict. I scour news articles and forums for tidbits. Currently I am thinking...

I'm Swiss and I live in Möhlin, (close to Basel). I got my Model S three weeks ago at the Tesla Center Möhlin. I'm retired and like flying, riding motorcycle and now driving EV. I moved from my Mercedes E350 to a Tesla Model S 70D. I really enjoy driving this exciting EV. I really like the...

Hello all. Figured I haven't properly introduced myself, so I would now that the anticipation has died down and speculation is beginning. Obviously, I am new to the forum as part of the Model 3 riffraff. I've wanted a Tesla from the moment I drove one in 2013 and have been waiting for the...

Been trolling this site for a while now and finally joining as I put my deposit down for a Model 3. I lined up at the Lawrence location in Toronto, Canada. I drove the Model S about two weeks ago and was very impressed with the technology and the quietness of the power delivery (S70D). I...

Its been a few days since I put my deposit down so I thought I'd come over here to see what else I can learn. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Tim

There, I've said it! After lurking in these forums for some time and secretly craving for a Tesla, I finally worked up the courage and stood in line this past Thursday in solidarity with hundreds of others at the Corte Madera store (and with a quarter million worldwide) and put down my deposit...

hello

Hello Tesla Community! I pre-ordered my model 3 yesterday in a somewhat impulsive fashion. I found out about the release because it was trending on Twitter, rapidly got as much information as I could, and in less than 24 hours I had money down... it was a fairly impulsive decision, and the...

My name is Andrew and I've been interested in Elon's endeavors ever since the Tesla Roadster! Being a non-traditional manufacturer, having a CEO with a technology vision as Mr. Musk's, being 100% electric, having updates for current and older models, supercharger stations, 0-60 times, autopilot...

Hi there! I'm excited to be joining many others tonight waiting for the Model 3 pre-orders on the west coast and finally become a part of the Tesla community. I've been wanting an electric car for a long time but any with enough range for my commute have always been beyond what I could afford so...

Hi all ,I'm a big fan of tesla watched lots of videos and wish I could afford a model s but can't do will have to wait for model 3. Going to find out about cost and maybe put a deposit down on Thursday hopefully all being well. Then just 2 + years waiting that will be hard .

Greetings! Moving to Washington's Olympic Peninsula late summer... Long time admirer of Tesla Motors and long time lurker of the Tesla Motors Club. Test drove Dec 2012 put down deposit within the hour.Configured Jan 2013 and took delivery April 10 at 5:03 PM. Model S 60 kWh, blue metallic...

First, thanks for hosting this great forum. I am a former Tesla employee (Roaster through Model S) and still remain a huge fan. I like to think that people do tours of duty at Tesla. Mine lasted 4 years --pretty much the limit of what my family could take. I left on good terms; I just needed...
