[Phil Sherburne]

Garfield High School PTSA is raising money for programs to address the student achievement gap by raffling a 2013 Tesla S 85 kwh sedan. A limited number of tickets are being sold, 1650, at $100 each. For more information contact [email protected]

I incorrectly wrote my email. The correct email is [email protected]. Garfield High School is in Seattle, Washington. If you win the car it can be delivered to any of Tesla's normal places. Phil

Hey Phil. Do you have any more specs on the options, color, interior, etc.? I suspect your 1650 tickets may already be sold, but if not you might get more folks interested (me included) with more details.

This sounds like a wonderful opportunity! I know I will be participating!

Ditto here!

I'm in.

The way we configured the car was metallic blue, 19" wheels, full panoramic roof, technology package, leather interior (grey), automatic suspension. The winner would also be able to take the $7500 tax credit. We just started selling the tickets so plenty are available at this time. The drawing is on March 1. We have been through this process before. Last year we raffled a Nissan Leaf and sold all the tickets.

My $100 is on the way .

Sent an email...has anyone verified this raffle before I ship my $100?

The check will be made out to the local high school parents' organization. I checked, they did this last year with a Nissan Leaf. When you receive a reply with all the details, you can check it out.

I also went to their website. Phil emailed me all the information when I requested it. My money is on it's way- and several friends and family who were waiting for gen 3 are planning to join in the raffle.

The flyer says "Performance" and "0-60 in 4.4 seconds". Is it a performance model that is being raffled?

Hi Phil, I don't understand how this works. Tesla has insisted that they will not allow reservations to be transferred. So you must have somebody buying the car, and then reselling it. But if they do that, the second buyer will not be eligible for the $7,500 tax credit (and if they are in WA, they will have to pay sales tax as well). Can you please point out what I'm missing? Thanks.

I've not gotten a reply from "Phil", ... how are people paying? Paypal? (Ironic?)

 

[ModelX]

I sent a personal check and he said he would mail me the raffle tickets.

No reply for me either after 24 hours.

 

[sp4rk]

Sorry, I just don't get it.

Or $50,000 cashiers check if you don't want the car? Yet the car is worth double?

Plus, no mention of what you'll have to pay for the capital gain?

 

[bonnie]

I'll let y'all know how it works once I win.
