Introductions

Greetings from San Antonio, Texas

Hi! My wife and I just ordered our Model S 90D to replace our Chevy Volt. We are very excited about the upgrade.

Hi all ! Looking forward to my new white 70 in a week or so.

I have loved the S ever since it came out, but it was always out of my price range. I told myself I would wait until the first lease returns were available and see where the price fell. Well the end of last year they were finally a possibility. I purchased my Pearl White S85 from a retired...

I want to get a Tesla S not sure if it's best to buy or lease. Also trying to decide if I should sell my 2008 Jaguar XKR or trade it in. Any advice

Menifee is located between Los Angeles and Palm Springs. I’m a 72-year old retiree with a background in mechanical engineering. My interest in EVs goes back farther than most. In 1974 while attending a school, students were required to choose a topic and make an oral presentation. I chose...

Hi: We got our Blue/Tan P90DL in December of 2015. If anyone in the Dayton area would like to get together to talk about the cars/adventures please PM me. We have met one other couple with a Roadster and a MS. We are going from Dayton to ABQ the end of this month so we will probably have some...

Hey TMCer's Took the plunge to finally make an account on a whim. I'm based in Hong Kong but from all around. I left a Roadster test drive thoroughly impressed back in '07, but the ICE enthusiast part of me still believed Tesla (and EV's at large) would remain niche and range crippled for some...

Been lurking for a few months and enjoying the information and passion shared here, coming up on my 6th month owning a MS85D and have learned a lot from TMC forum. Finally decided it was time to join in the comradery.:cool:

Howdy from the Centennial State! My Prius is nice, but I'm hoping to give myself a fantastic gift for my 50th birthday, a blue Model 3 ..before my 51st rolls around

Hello Everyone, Greetings from FL! Looking forward to reserving my Model 3 on the 31st and taking part in the forum discussions!

New member here from Carmel, IN, just north of Indianapolis. Ordered P90D 2/19 with late March/early April delivery quoted. A few days later I was sending emails to fend off the legislative attack on Tesla! Hopefully that will die for good this summer in study committee, but we have to keep...

Hello everyone, I just joined the Tesla Motor Club forums today and wanted to introduce myself. I'm a 41 year old physician married to another physician with two little kids (1 and 6). I just confirmed an order for a Tesla Model S 90D a few days ago and I am also planning to reserve a...

Hello from Phoenix! Looking forward to being a part of the group.

Hello to everyone! Just joined up on the forum because like many, I am in hopes of reserving a Model 3. Looks like this is a great community and I can't wait to learn everything I can. Little background: I'm a 34 year-old father of two. Currently drive a 2010 Mitsubishi Evolution MR...

Hello all, Thought I'd join as I found the Smart forum so useful. I do not own a Tesla, but there's lots of interesting reading here to help me decide one way or t'other about buying one (model 3). I'm assuming most of the early glitches have been sorted by now. I've always been a DIY car...

Hi, We took delivery of our P90D in October last year. Prior to that our "eco" car was a Prius. It was frustrating to be rudely passed and even driven off the road by faster aggressive drivers common in Los Angeles. We don't have that problem any more! However when my wife was driving it for the...

Hello all! I am excited more each time I read more, about the preview of the Model 3 and it's following reservation. I am coming from a Smart ForTwo, which I will keep until the wheels fall off, and then I'll rebuild and start all over again. Its electric variant is exciting, but not a daily...

Hi everyone, glad to be here as have been following the stuff here for a while. I'm an owner of a Renault Zoe an BEV here in the UK and Europe and have has the car since September 2013. Having nearly 30,000 electric miles I'm thinking of vlogging my experiences of EV ownership in the UK and...

Hello from 417-Land. Getting acquainted with the TMC forums and looking to stir up some community in the Ozarks. Recently adopted my 2013-P85 -Metallic Green- on- Tan -with -21"-Grey -Turbines through the CPO program. The "Verdant_P85" will be making the rounds in Springfield and the Branson...

I have been coveting the MS for a while and envious of my sister's 2012 S 85 since she bought it. Once the CPO program started I've been waiting for prices to come down to around $60k (and to accumulate the cash). But... then I got concerned about the back end of a 3-4 year 2nd ownership (6-8...

Hi, Sandy here. Ordered a Model S (which I now know to call an MS) in late January. Delivery date sometime in February, March, or April (keeps changing). Live in wonderful Denver, Colorado and was so happy when the D models were introduced. One question: How do you enter a signature on the...

Excited to be apart of the Tesla community! A little background on me (us) I worked 30 yrs in Restaurants and event planning. Fast paced and insane, with lots of interesting people and stories, my favorite involved an Oscar winner, celebrity chef, famous environmentalists husband and a pig...

Name is Juan and have always loved Tesla and finally have the opportunity to own one and have enjoyed it for the past month

Just wanted to get on in here and initiate myself with an introduction -- My name is Josh.

Hi! My name is Bernd and my family (wife and our 10-year-old son, big Tesla fan, too!) and I live in the mid-west of Germany (near Frankfurt). I started thinking about buying a Tesla Model S back in October 2015, triggered by the VW scandal by which we were affected with our Polo Diesel. We...

How does one add an avatar?

I finally pulled the trigger on a Model S (P33185). CPO 2014 P85. I was planning on waiting until early 2017 to purchase a P90D, but totaling my previous car (Lexus GS350) forced me to act sooner! :smile: I've really enjoyed all of the information found here at TMC, and I'm looking forward to...

Hi all! I'm Paul. I'm a major car enthusiast, and have been a fan of just about anything with a gasoline or diesel engine for a long time. I loved cars and boats as a kid, and the former stuck with me through adolescence, and is still a huge part of my life today. I regularly visit tracks in...

Hi people ! My new Model S arrives this week so I thought why not join the community in which I skulked around while contemplating buying the damned thing. So, here I am - no more lurking for me. Looking forward to picking your wise old brains, and sharing a laugh or two along the way. Sam

dear all my name is Dominique, i am a software engineer and live in northern switzerland (at the tri-nation border of germany and france). i have been following Tesla since many years and could no longer wait, after an impromptu test drive i needed to have the computer on wheels... i ordered a...

Been trying to make it happen for two years, and finally pulled the trigger on an inventory vehicle. Now I just need more than 12A to charge it with! :smile:

Hello everybody and happy new year, I think it´s the right time, the beginning of a new year, to join your amazing community and to change our own fossil :biggrin: behaviour. We´re real petrol heads from Germany and up to now in favour of Italian cars because of design (really important) and...

Hey guys! I just ordered my Model S 90D and it will be delivered late feb/early march. Anxiously waiting for my car to arrive as I just received my VIN number yesterday! Nice to meet everyone!

We have an ELR and a Volt, but next vehicle is most likely going to be a pure EV. Figured it was time to watch some of the Tesla forums. Not partial to any brand, as each make/model have their pros and cons, then to each their own in needs and wants. Currently hoping that the Climate XChange...

Hi everyone. Been lurking the forums for a couple of weeks now, looks like a very engaged and helpful user group. My new 90D should be delivered to my house sometime in the next 90 minutes or so, so I figured now would be a good time to join. This is an exciting day, but terrifying as well...

Been looking at Tesla Model S what seems like forever. My wife did not want to spend as much as I wanted for the Performance version. well, the CPO launched and i've been looking at the cars for some time now because I still have my leased Volt. My wife has been in my ear telling me "let the...

Hello from Santa Clara, CA! I'm a Bay Area transplant from the Toronto, ON area who is looking forward to ordering an S70D in February sometime. Engineer by day, tinkerer/hacker by night. Looking forward to all that this awesome forum has to offer!

After reading and researching for a couple of years, I finally pulled the trigger on a white inventory Model S that was delivered earlier this month. The Autopilot upgrade finally pushed me over the edge. A couple days after delivery, I demonstrated it to my 9th grade Physics/Chemistry class...

we've owned our 85D since last halloween and this is my first time in the club. i'll be looking for answers to some questions i have and i look forward to thoughts, ideas, comments from you old timers.

Hi everyone, After following Tesla for a couple of years and obsessing over the S in the Design Studio, my wife and I made the leap into a CPO car. We both drove Land Cruisers, still do at times, but really needed and wanted to get into an EV. We are Landscape Architects and travel from San...

Picked up our titanium model 70D AWD with panoramic roof late November 30th - amazing car! Driving is fun again.

Hello from Ithaca, NY This is a fantastic resource of Tesla info and I've been binge reading to occupy my thoughts while waiting for my 70D! -- My specs: 2015 70D - Solid Black - Panoramic Roof - 19" Wheels - Textile Seats - Piano Black - White Alcantara - Autopilot - Rear Facing Seats Ordered...

Hi there! I've been driving my Model S for about a year, so I thought I ought to finally introduce myself... (I've been reading your wisdom for years and finally registered.) My first car was a hand me down from my father, a 1958 Mercedes SE that was purchased a little after I was born...

Hi All, Newbie here - just joined up - go easy! Based over near Liverpool in England. Been a car fan for all my life (33 years) and recently paying some massive attention to how cars are going to be in the future. Tesla very much at the forefront of this although only see approx 1 a month in...

Happy P85 Palo Alto owner. Upgrading to auto-pilot version. So since it seems that I am going to keep my last minute Tesla order after all. As such, I need a referral code to get $1k off. And it benefits the referrer as well, of course. Please post here or send me a private message with your...

Howdy from Texas, My name is Carol and I picked up my MS 90D 11-25-15, one day before my Thanksgiving Birthday. I have never been so excited about a car before but my Tesla makes me smile all day. I live in Houston and after my first test drive at the Galleria location I knew I had to have one...

Finally did it. Made the jump and ordered a MS85D tonight for March delivery. We are very excited and feel very lucky! Can't wait to drive!

Hi, I'm Ken and I'm a Teslaholic! Just took delivery of a CPO Model S last night and I'm still wearing the grin. Don't know if I can get rid of it. It seems to follow me wherever I go. I've been around here for a while now, reading, lurking, getting as much information as I could in order to...
