Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[Zextraterrestrial]

First time I've seen the grey in the wild - Love it! Should have my baby within the next 2 weeks - congrats on your new toy?

heh heh heh

just did some test ride hot laps w/ 0-85-0's and hard curves in the wet.
wet braking awesome

heh heh heh so much fun.

Sorry to be OT but I would have been happy even waiting 6 months more - or more! because it is so so awesome!

The colors are all awesome and each one looks better in certain light than others The grey is a perfect match to the wheels but usually didn't look like it was in the pictures I saw. Now I want to keep my 21"s and maybe get a set of 19"s for tire life in the summer - sounds backwards but I think the 21" rubber is awesome in wet and I hope they wear a little slower with a reduced coefficient of friction

I love the grey too

As I have said in the past IMHO it is the color that looks most different in various lighting and looks the worst in photos as compared to real life, but those photos look nice.

Cheers and congrats.

@ Ceilidh, can't wait to see pictures of yours, as it will look the same as mine (grey/grey/piano/19") below the roof (no pano for me). The grey I saw at Newport was beautiful.

More than happy to post once I get it. Apparently now that will be last week of Jan or 1st week of Feb for me with the mid sized battery.

Cheers

PS--You have good taste

Not sure if question has been posed before, but do people tip the delivery specialist? What's a good amount to tip?

I think the common answer is no....

But a drink or something may be in order...

 

[Smallfootprint]

We asked our DES what was customary and he said not to tip. Don't know if that was a 1-off or policy.

Just like your local waitstaff, it's about 15% of the purchase price, right? :biggrin:

I told my DS that I'll have milk and cookies ready because she's going to be my Santa this year. And then maybe we'll go for a ride in my new Blue sleigh!

 

[strider]

Yeah, no monetary tip. You could offer food, bottle of wine, etc.

Grats. Every time you post about yours I do a double-take. You'll see why below...

Sig Perf # 552 (VIN # 729)

That's my config. Lighting makes so much difference. In the first picture, with the visible side in the shade, I regret my choice of the grey wheels and the grey paint color underwhelms me. In pictures 2 and 3, they look fantastic and I'm happy with my choice again.

Bi-polar color disorder..."it's great!", "ah, that's crap", "ooh, shiny!"

:biggrin:

Congrats Lynn! What documents do you lack to get your license plates/registration?

 

[kishdude]

P#130 Performance/Brown/Tan/Carbon Fiber/85W/21" Silver Wheels to be delivered to Arizona with delivery window 12/9-12/23. Finally! Just got the email. Looks like Telsa has financing available through both Wells Fargo and B of A. Also asked if I wanted the factory to install a front license plate holder (no for Arizona). Can't Wait!

In my opinion its not about money, its about respect.

Our Delivery Specialist is a friend of ours. We look forward to treating him to lunch this Thursday after our Model S delivered. If he's not on the road delivering countless vehicles we hope he'll be able to attend our delivery party later on the weekend.

These guys are working their butts off and I know the vast majority of us treat their delivery specialists with respect. Nevertheless, there are a few folks who are a little too OCD and need to chill out a bit and say to themselves, "Its only a car."

Its good you've asked the question. My suggestion would be to do what you would do if a personal friend was making the delivery.
