So what did you get? Maybe you could tell us about it after you have had your first few rides...and given your family rides...and the neighbors...and your friends...and anyone else who wants one! (Hard to stop driving it those first few days,m isn't it!?)

Refreshed 90D, midnight silver, NextGen grey interior, slipstream 19" wheels, carbon fiber trim, auto pilot, panoramic roof, Ultra HiFi, Premium upgrade package.
Having it, after lusting for it for a couple years, is surreal.
I had it for one day, then off to the detailer for Xpel and Opticoat treatments.
During that one magical day though... I felt naked and afraid. I went to pickup my son from school to blow his mind (mission accomplished). However, I had a truck spray rocks and sand at me, some water leak on the side of the road sprayed liquid at me, and while stopping at a friends house (in a fairly wooded area), pollen rained on me - actually turning the car green. WTF!?
Today my detail guy spotted a minor paint chip. Most likely due to that damn truck.
Anyway... it's being paint corrected and armored-up so it can better deal with its new native habitat.
More stories to come after I'm behind the wheel again.

Looks like all three of those red ones have pano roofs. One of them was mine.
Safely in NH now.

Dedham has been open for what a year? And they've already out grown the place.
Good problem to have.
When I went to pick-up my MS, we had difficultly finding a place to park.
I had to ICE one of the superchargers (apologies - but not my fault).

My wife and I bought three Lincolns there when it was a Lincoln dealership. There's space in the back but overall not a particularly large facility and always seemed jammed with cars. Of course, Tesla also lost a number of parking spaces for the Superchargers and reconfiguring the lot a bit. Overall, they did a VERY nice job modernizing the property!
A tip of possible use: If you are visiting the Dedham store and do not need to have your car at the superchargers or in the shop, it is very easy to park in one of the adjacent lots and walk over to the Tesla store. The most convenient is the next lot going north on Providence Highway (next right off the road), where there is a Bed, Bath & Beyond, Verizon Wireless, Dunkin' Donuts and some other stores. You can usually park in the spaces nearest the superchargers, and just step up over a low wall into the Tesla lot. (The wall is lowest on the end towards the street.)
There is also a lot behind the adjacent Summer Shack restaurant, currently closed. And another larger lot behind the Tesla store. These are somewhat less convenient, because you have to drive in and out of Legacy Boulevard (and you won;t be able to see your parking space from the Tesla store). But they work in a pinch, especially if you have a reason to be in one of those nearby stores.

Hopefully that just means they will have to hurry up and build another service center. This time one north or west of Boston.
Thanks for this tip. I was there today and there was only one spot left for ICE's. I think they are going to have a Supercharger problem soon; by the time I left all but one SC spot was occupied.

Are you willing to share specifics -- who, how much, for how long, how'd it go? I live in Lincoln, MA and am considering it.

I'll bet there's a good chance we'll see something in the works before Model ≡ deliveries start late next year. If Watertown's lease is expiring sometime in 2017 it would be the perfect time to relocate. The Watertown staff has been great, but moving into a larger facility further away from Dedham seems logical. Dedham staff would likely welcome the relief. All of those double parked S & X vehicles waiting out front for delivery? Nice problem indeed!

On the various "coming soon" maps, there has been lots of internet sleuthing going on.
I believe the Supercharger dot for "2016" was approximated to be around Burlington, or somewhere along 128 between 3 and 93.
If they were looking to have a combo site (Supercharger w/Service Center), that general area would be a good spot to centralize service for the northern half of Metro Boston, North Shore, Southern NH, and NW suburbs, while also placing another Supercharging site along what the tourists call I-95.
We'll see how that goes, but I'd be happy with Burlington/Woburn-ish area.
FWIW, one of the sales reps in the Dedham store told me he was involved in looking for a new site for a service center. Not sure why he would be, or what his involvement is, but that is what he said when I commented on the site congestion a couple of weeks ago....

+1 on that Burlington-to-Woburn, for sure. Traffic to Dedham from the NW can be a real bear for a morning SC drop-off!
The Watertown facility is just 10 min away from me; I'd be happy for that to be converted and that they take the Toyota lot across the street
However, Burlington would be just fine too.Similar threads
