Nope. The garage gets the more valuable car...

Don't want to stuff two in there. Too easy to scratch something.

You live in Newark? I work up there. In the technology park by the Dumbarton bridge and the defunct W hotel.

I live very close to that hotel that's now rebranded aloft-Silicon Valley!

You have company in that tech park from gmontem who works at Logitech there and drives a brown Model S.

See you around here in your S soon!

Wow! That is super fast!! Anyone concerned that TSLA will run out of a backlog by the end of the year, or have to slow down production to make an artificial backlog?

I just had a thought, what does Model S acceleration feel like, facing backwards? :scared: :biggrin:

My kids will find out what a P85 feels like going backwards

 

[Kaivball]

Got it.

I'm confused. My reservation number is 326470. This doesn't look anything like anything I see on this site. My delivery window is April/May, but it seems like all of the numbers are much lower than mine. I am looking at the wrong number?

Yes, that is the wrong number. You are looking for a reservation number which should be 5 digits and start with 19xxx (maybe 20xxx by now). I just finalized yesterday and mine just said #0 and then an RN number like yours.

Technically the number starting with RN is the [R]eservation [N]umber, and you're not supposed to share it with anyone but Tesla. The number we all share on here is called the sequence number, and is supposed to dictate the order in which the car is produced. It appears that Tesla is phasing out the sequence numbers for Model S in the USA, likely in part due to the fact that they are not strictly following sequence numbers due to a variety of reasons. They became more trouble than they were worth from a customer relations standpoint.

Got it.

Congrats! Enjoy!

On the other hand when wait times drop more people may be interested in getting one. Plus there are people with other configurations that are still waiting a lot longer.

 

[bonnie]

Got it.

Can you feel the cynicism being pushed out by electric yet? Are you grabbing the keys to the Model S before your other cars? Are you thinking of excuses to drive? (I'm ready to win that bet!)

Congrats.

Next week the car goes in for full wrapping (the clear kind). Until then I'm trying not to acquire any chips.

My car is currently in the shop getting wrapped. It's fun to "see" them working on the car through the mobile app. They must have been working late last night, because my frunk was open for a long time, but then I checked this morning and it was closed. GPS also shows the approximate angle of the car inside the shop.

I have about 175 miles of range left. This 11-12 mi/day vampire charge is going to cut it close for me to drive it home late next week. Luckily I remembered and gave the shop the UMC just in case.

Can't wait to get the car back. I've owned it for 2 weeks and only put 100 miles on it. Le sigh...

Can they plug it into a 110V outlet each night for you?

Off topic for this thread, but could you let us know where you got it wrapped and if you like the result?
