Darn...they were great! I got my son into biting the fruit out of a lemon slice. Now he taught his son to do it too. I suppose there's always Ruby Tuesday in Countryside..but it's not worth a 400 mile road trip to go to a Ruby Tuesday and it's likely not there either.
However, what is worth a road trip is Kobe Steak House in Countryside plaza. Is IT still there?

The area is so different, man. It’s exploded (yay, big government) and I doubt it likely resembles what it once was when you lived here. That being said, it’s still an awesome place.
It wasn't THAT long ago! We moved back North in 98. I know from Google Maps, 46809 Trailwood Place is still there (vacant lot before we moved there) and, of course, Sterling Country Club is still there, under new mgmt of course. Algonquin Parkway still there. Kobe is 14668 Edd's Ln in Countryside plaza.
So, what's the status on your car? Talk to Tyson's?

20 years is a long time – those places still exist, sure, but most folks go to the newer town centers like One Loudoun or The Leesburg Village (where the Wegmans is). I’ve been here 37 years, and I’d argue the most growth has been since 2001.
No status on my car. I didn’t stop in at Tyco but did call the 888 number. They were useless. I’m on vacation in TN now, but when I get home I’ll stop by the SC off Tyco and see if they have a clue.

I agree about 888. I had outstanding service at the Mt Kisco, NY facility and Dedham, MA facility. I earned pilot license and IFR rating at JYO (Leesburg Airport. AV Ed flight school. Did Commercial and Multi in NH.
Hey buddy..thanks for making me feel old...20 yrs. (yeah, that's kind of a lot). We first moved to Reston 40 yrs ago. Our house then, open field prior, 11300 Geddys Ct right off Sunrise Valley Dr and Upper Lakes Dr. Buried the cat that moved in with us when we rented on Escalante Ct in Reston in an adjacent field, what is now, a tennis court opposite side of Upper Lakes from Geddys Ct. That creeps me out when I think about it too long. She was pregnant when she moved in on us.
Apologies for the Memory Ln thing. Exchanging posts with you is something akin to old home week. I'll stop.
Well, at least you'll get the NY rebate now (which you wouldn't if you picked up in NJ).
I wasn't disagreeing with the presence of a record, I was disagreeing with your pathetic, roll-over-and-take-any-abuse attitude. I'm a pretty reasonable person, and I've found that in all functional organizations, a visible record of reasonable, unresolved complaints will actually get me to a manager and get people fired. I've gotten people fired -- not often, but I've done it. They deserved it. There are probably others here who have.
Other than "RWD orders are usually delivered much faster", I agree that the evidence shows that nothing else is being consistently prioritized.
I don't think the prioritization of RWD is going to last much longer, either; I think they've resolved the AWD bottleneck and the production ratio will reset to match the demand ratio soon.
A shouting match is never useful. There are much better ways of documenting bad behavior by Tesla employees.
We have documentation, on this forum, that some of the people here actually have gotten a Tesla representative fired (for lying to them with multiple inconsistent claims about "apartment fires" as an excuse for not doing his job).
So you're wrong. We can and we have gotten Tesla representatives fired.
I'm a reasonable person. I don't generally try to get people fired. But egregiously bad behavior is egregious, and when management finds out about it, they will fire the people who did it -- as they should.
For reference, I generally give everyone at Tesla a week to respond to any request whatsoever before I follow up, unless there's really severe urgency, in which case I give them 24 hours. (Examples of really severe urgency would be a "my car is undriveable" service request, or "you are scheduling a delivery less than a week from now on a day I cannot take delivery", or "you are asking for my finance/insurance information before you give me a VIN and I need a VIN in order to get the finance/insurance information, how do I get out of the Catch-22".)
White is consistently in the top three most popular car colors, every year, every country.
Tesla basically has to make white.
They don't have to make *multi-coat* white, and I personally think they should go back to plain, "one coat" (I know it isn't really one coat) white.
2 days to finalize financing?!? Suppose Tesla schedules your delivery on a Sunday and gives you the VIN on Friday, how is that supposed to work with banks which aren't open on weekends?
Particularly if you have paycheck income. (If you make your money by owning your own business or make money off investments, they have a hell of a lot less information on you.)
If that were even true, that would be OK, but the problem we've been hearing is that there are people with *identical* configurations in *identical* locations where the person later in the queue got their car and the person earlier in the queue didn't. (I think there have been three fully documented examples so far.)
This leads to the conclusion that some people's orders have gotten lost. So people who ordered in early June probably have a good reason to pester.
Apparently some exec still does not understand the concept of "I need my VIN in order to finish my finance / insurance paperwork". If you're in that situation, you have to phone in, emphasize this point to your DA, so that you can get your VIN and finish your paperwork.
There should be checkboxes on the website for "waiting for VIN to do finance" and "waiting for VIN to do insurance", frankly.
(If you're not in that situation, chill and don't worry about the VIN.)
