I have had my S for a week and just love it. Looks great, drives great, and no issues. I had the windows tinted today which only magnifies how great looking this car is. I have no reservations about the purchase and look forward to years of fun. What a car!!

RThree, I am not usually a fan of tinted windows, but they look spectacular on your Model S. Congrats and enjoy! And send some of that California weather to Pittsburgh so I can enjoy mine some more!

I picked up my black MS from the factory in Sunday and had the windows tinted all the war around as well and love it. Next think I'm getting done is a clear bra on the entire hood and carbon fiber wrap on the rear diffuser below the bumper

Regarding the rebate, you can search for electric car rebate and the website will come up. You can fill out the application once you have a MVPA. You need a date of purchase (not in the future). I turned that form in 1 week before my actual pickup so I won't be able to get the registration data until pickup. You have 14 days from the time the application is accepted (dated) to have your stuff postmarked, not delivered. Easy to do so long as you're not more than 8 - 10 days from delivery

highedu,

I see you have the 85 badging on the rear. I just saw photos over on the Delivery Stories thread with P85 badge. Nice to know they are doing that now.
Congrats on your MS.

I was told Tesla is NOT doing the P85 Badge. It's an aftermarket item.

No, that's not correct. Cars are coming that way from the factory.

My car has 85 on the back from factory

Mine doesn't ;-( but I got it two weeks ago. Oh well, I'm still not sure if it's a good thing or not.

Personally, I'd prefer without, regardless of what size/model I was getting.

Just picked-up my 85kWh (non-perf) and got the "85" badge... DS said only P85 and 85 were getting badges, and it just started a few days ago...

Mine was finished two weeks ago and it has an "85" on it.

So that was yours that I saw at the service centre. Did you happen to see the black one there as well. It didn't have the 85 on it. Mine should be here in a few weeks and I like the 85 badging! Have fun and keep us posted.

 

[Stephen4]

Yup. Apparently, mine was the first "85" badge in Canada. The other two that came up on that truck...a black one and a grey one didn't have the "85" on them, despite them being higher VINs. I think the black one was heading to Manitoba (#5303, I think)...grey one was off to Calgary.

I'm a hard nut to please, and I have to say, they did a great job putting this vehicle together...it's quite impressive, given all that can go wrong with a start-up. I certainly have some 'would like to see/have', but I'm just enjoying the thrill at this time. My excruciatingly long wait was finally squashed...and I'm still grinning. Your turn is just around the corner...

 

[rekoh]

sounds like mine is (possibly) at the Chicago service center! Penfed check coming monday - finalize payment then, then loaded on a truck to MN. (Vin 5775 - Delivery est 2/26 - 3/12).
.... Anyone going to the Chicago Service Center and want to take a picture or see if you can find it ?!

Quick question: are the very recent deliveries - particularly at the factory - still missing the chrome trim on the UMC end?! That's the only item (a cosmetic one, of course) on my due bill from Jan 19; am wondering if I should get the folks in the Menlo Park store to order one up for me if they have become available again.

I was told by my service advisor that the entire UMC will be replaced with one that actually has the aluminum (not chrome, never was...) trim on the end. They won't be installing the trim to the one you received at delivery.

Thanks, spatters. Wonder if I can give Tesla some amount smaller than the oft-quoted $500 and get to keep the current, used UMC as a spare?!

Picked up mine 1 week ago and it had the trim already on it...no due bill

+1 to that gg.

That would be nice...then I could tell them to keep the HPWC I have on the due bill, which isn't going to be useful until I replace my main service panel to a single-main 200A instead of twin 100A main breakers!
