They look cool--great concept, a blast from the past (we had something like that when I was a kid, mumble-years-ago). Also, nice pics!



$600 to remove/add the full front hood coverage.

Tesla must have just added this option in the last couple of months. We ordered the paint armor, but it was not installed and we did not realize that until we visited the Menlo store. When we saw how the 1/3 coverage looked, we decided not to go with the Tesla paint armor, in part because they told us they did not have the ability to do a full trunk cover. We instead purchased an after-market product called Xpel film from a company called the Gold Wurks in Roseville, CA. It cost more, but they came to our house and did the job in about 4 hours. It is beautiful and includes the A pillars and full coverage of the side mirrors as well as the full hood, the nose cone, the front fenders, and other front pieces. The cost was $1899, and I paid an extra $500 to have the back bumper done as well. I'm really pleased with the result, but I never imagined I would pay that kind of money for something you never see!

Picked up my baby today at the Costa Mesa SC!!! Pics to come (if the one i tried to attach from my iphone doesnt drop).

All of the 60's I saw at the factory yesterday had '60' badges installed. Reps said they'd install them for anyone who has a 60 with no badge during SC visits.

What if you don't want it? I think it's kinda ugly.

You can always remove it by pulling hard and then washing off the remains of the glue... And then sell badge on ebay, I quite sure there are some car badges collectors out there:biggrin:

Thanks everyone. Someone lucky was also pickng up their red performance

The Red is very nice! That might be the first "60" badge I've seen or heard of.

We've been discussing the 60 badge over on the 60 forum

Typical luxury car owner, thinking they can park anywhere...

Actually the store manager temporarily parked it there for the Owner while getting it ready for his delivery. He had the hazard flashers on too.

In the EU we can order the 85kWh Performance with a Performance Plus package, which I will take, of course

Does anyone know if there will be a badge like "85PP", for instance?

Greg: I take it that you pick up new MSes at Washington Square, and they don't do the home delivery now?

And what are you going to do about a front plate?

I orderd the car on 03/31/2013 the same day as ELON's announcement and did sign the paper work the next day, but no updates for few days. Out of curiosity i called them and they said according to new policies that went in to effect from 04-01-2013 there is no paper work needed and i have 2 week window until 04-18-2013 to change the configuration which i dont need and on 04-21-2013 they took my order and changed the status after calling twice. Thats a poor follow up for a company that is fairly new and the customer service sucks. Till date there is not even one reply to my emails.
i am scared now how can the service for this car be when i buy a 8 year service plan.
but according to this thread most of them are suggesting a 8 year if you are going to hang on for the car for long time or if you are a frequent traveller.
may be i will go with that too.

I don't see the problem, can you explain it a bit more clearly
you say they gave you a 2 week window to change your configuration, which you did not need.
After that I am lost, were you emailing them to change your order? Or to send your order to the factory without waiting the 2 weeks, since you did not have any changes to make...

And what are you going to do about a front plate?

I would point out this one isn't mine. Mine is about 6 weeks out. I think you can still take delivery at your home, and from what I've heard, they discourage service center deliveries, since they were getting a bit busy doing that and not being available for others that truly need service.

On the front license plate I'll likely get a mount bracket that attaches from under the bumper - like this
