    Leasing

    Anyone have a guess at whether leasing will be available for first production? After being a (relatively) early MS owner, I'm not particularly keen on owning another early production car. Have 2 M3's on order. One will probably be the AWD one sometime in late 2018.

    No major problems with my car! But this is a problem...

    I took delivery of my Model X 3 weeks ago. I have driven over 2000 miles since getting this car on 2 road trips (SF<->LA and SF->Seattle). This was an inventory car with roughly 950 miles on the car with a build date of 8/2017. There have been no major problems with the car - FWD works well...

    Purchased Inventory 75 RWD!

    There were about 4 inventory 75s in Dallas last week. Everyday last week I went to the inventory page and hit refresh. 4 became 3, 3 became 2 and then finally this week on Monday, 2 became 1. I did not have to pay the transportation fee and I felt like these limited 75 RWDs were being given away...

    Next Gen Model S wish list

    If, as some have speculated, there will be a new Model S coming, what features would you wish for? Here are mine: Horizontal screen, like Model 3, but much bigger. I want it really high up so I don't have to look down. Optional Long wheelbase version with space for reclining rear seats...

    Should I be worried?

    I stood in line at Fremont Kato Road before opening, reserved at 11:00 (line was one of the longest), and am an owner who purchased my S in 2015 and have had it ever since. Despite this, I still haven't received an invitation to configure. Anyone else with similar qualifications in my shoes...

    Found an Inventory P100D today...

    https://evcpo.net/ev.php?ev=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGVzbGEuY29tL25ldy81WUpTQTFFNDlIRjIyMjY1ND9yZWRpcmVjdD1ubw== They seem to be quite rare, so I'm posting it. Beyond my price range unfortunately. There seem to be a dump of S75 (non-D) in the last week. Not much in the 75D, whcih is a shame. Nick.

    Model 3 Ramp and US Tax Credit Implications

    The topic of the Model 3 ramp and its implications on the US federal EV tax credit continue to pop up in other threads, and I couldn't find a thread dedicated to the subject, so I am creating this so that discussion can take place. The big question is whether the tax credit itself will survive...

    "Delivery Specialist" has changed three times

    I suppose I shouldn't expect personalized service at a car company, beyond the front-lines of the showroom. And I was impressed that the email of the "delivery specialist" was shown on the order status page. However, this person has changed three times since Oct 21st. What's going on here? Is...

    Saved $500 • Bought Extended Warranty Today!

    I went to the Tesla Service center today and purchased the extended warranty for $4,250. I had purchased my model S on June 23 so I had until around December 20 (within the first 180 days) to take advantage of the $500 discount after that would be $4750. I learned a few things in the process...

    EV Tax Credit

    Haven't heard much about the status of the EV Tax Credit lately? Realize that the Senate has it in their plan but when do you think we will know? I am deciding between a used S and a new Model 3 (first day res). If the tax credit goes I will most likely spring for the used Model S ;-)

    Moved from Sweden to US

    Hi, I post a question here also since it regards model 3. I moved from Sweden to Greensboro NC 3 weeks ago. Tesla are working on getting my delivery time for the model 3 updated. I'm a owner of a Tesla and I placed my order 1 of April 2016, what delivery time can I expect?

    Included Accessories

    What accessories should be included with the car when taking delivery? Do people receive floor mats, license plate frames/holders, phone dock or anything else?

    Phone Dock no longer comes with the car?

    Hey all, Just took delivery on my brand new model S on Saturday, and the Delivery Specialist said they are no longer including Phone Dock connection for the iPhone? Is this true?

    Is there anywhere where one can sit in a model 3?

    I am over 6 foot and my wife is around 5 foot two. We have issues with pedal and steering location on many of our vehicles. We are close to the factory so that would be a possibility if there is a way to get a “Seating appointment”. We are an early line stander and expecting our order email...

    Using my Tesla worldwide

    While I was recently visiting my home country the Netherlands, I stopped by the beautiful Amsterdam Tesla showroom. After talking with the sales team that Chicago is my new home since 7 years, I was asked whether I would eventually go back to live for a while in Amsterdam, and what I would do...

    Found a 75D new inventory - lucky!

    I had been really teetering back and forth on ordering a 75D but taking delivery in feb even though the tax credit should be gone then (order was placed but considered cancelling within the 3 day window). And then, by chance, I get online at 3am PST and find a handful of 75D had been released...

    Coolant system failure, dead battery, frunk failure. HELP!

    Hello everyone, first post and wish it was under better circumstances. This may be a bit of a long post, so please bear with me. I took delivery of my '17 S75D in spring of this year. For the most part, I truly enjoyed ownership- lack of autopilot parity and some build quality issues aside...

    Ready to configure, where is my invite email?

    I thought I wanted a D and was going to wait, but why not get it now? I’m a California model S owner and placed my reservation on day one. Will I drive my model 3 by year end?

    I just turned down 4 week delivery on a Model 3

    Could have had one in 4 weeks . Did I want HEAT on the seats, HEAT on the mirrors, for FIVE THOUSAND dollars more? Not so much. I live in Los Angeles area. Maybe Elon thinks we all live in Norway? What is with the loving of HEAT? How about a COOL WEATHER PACKAGE? All it would take is...

    Wall Connector - tied to VIN?

    Just went to order a Wall Connector for my new Tesla. On the cart page, there's a pull down menu showing my vehicles for me to choose which one (one option is "This is a gift"). What's going on here - why does Tesla need/want to know this? Also, I notice on eBay there are a few Wall...

    What's the feeling on infrastructure (service and delivery centers) to support Model 3?

    Now that Model 3 non-employee deliveries seem to be imminent, I am wondering about how Tesla will support them. In my area (New England), at least, there have been no new delivery centers or service facilities in the 2 years since I took delivery of my Model S. There must be hundreds if not...

    Modifying Configuration

    This is probably a question for Tesla once I get invited to configure, but does anyone know if it's possible to modify your configuration before taking delivery? My delivery estimator currently says Dec-Feb for the LR, so it's looking very possible that I could get invited to configure before...

    1 year service?

    So my Model S is a little over a year new. I think I should take it in for service. Couple of things in my mind: I believe there was a recall notice that was non-urgent some months back I had heard that some Model S vehicles may qualify for a performance boost update that needs to be done at...

    Longer production times... Are there any facts or just theories??

    It seems like production times varies tremendously even among identically ordered vehicles. I’ve heard that it might be because quality check fails and there is then extra time needed to correct things. Does anyone has another theory in this? Or an actual fact? I’m wondering if longer...

    thoughts on getting long range instead of SR for the tax credit?

    i am probably going to get the short range M3. i reserved my M3 on 3/31/2016 but at the end of the day so my place in line isn't that great. but i own a MX so i think that puts me ahead in the line a bit. i don't really need long range on the M3 since i already have a MX 100D. all of our...

    EV tax credit and the configurator.

    Will Tesla wait until the EV tax credit issue is resolved by congress before opening the the configurator to the general public (or at least taking orders). There could be lots of people placing binding orders not knowing how much the car will cost them. Obviously it's up to the buyer if they...

    Tesla current owner priority - "current" at reservation time, or configuration time?

    Apologies if this has been covered here before - I scanned many posts, but I didn't see a definitive answer. I think the consensus seems to be that you need to be a current owner at configuration time, but I can't see how this works, exactly. Does everyone in a certain reservation date range...
