I thought I would be driving the fist one for 8 years...things do change

That's what happens when the car just keeps getting better and better and better :smile:

BTW..did you see the threads that mention that the price of the premium package is supposed to go down to $3,000 - $3,500? Hopefully, you can get a credit for the difference.

Website changed. Premium package is now $3,000 and they got rid of silver and the dark blue!

Wow, a lot of changes. Lots of verbal traffic on TM forum about the changes and the Premium package. TM listens to feedback and they adjusted the option packages. Message here is that TM has people that read the forums and listen to owner feedback.

There's now a Midnight Silver Metallic. Warm Silver has been renamed Titanium Metallic. Regular white is gone too. So now for white there's only Pearl White - its beautiful as always.

Also, if you select Alcantara headliner at the top to get black upper trim, it automatically signs you up/selects the Premium Interior and Lighting option for you. Unselect Premium package and it unselects Alcantara (black) headliner trim.

With Wednesday's change the Premium package to get Power liftgate has changed from $5,000 to $3,000. Between Wednesday and Friday the Alcantara (black) headliner trim was shown as $ 1750 upgrade over the lighter trim. Now part of the $3,000 Premium package includes/pays for the Alcantara (black) headliner trim. Since the two things I would want more from the Premium package is the power liftgate and the Alcantara (black) headliner trim, that means the power liftgate is valued at about $1350 or so. That's a much better bundle.

One thing in particular that I am happy about the 70 for all you folks is Supercharging. Its a nice to have - especially if you (lucky you live Hawaii and) do a "papafox stunt". I mean they have in effect removed the decision for you on the 70D of selecting Supercharging. Who knows if it will ever be useful here, but nice that its included for all those new 70D purchases, regardless of where you live.

and did you notice that the only 21" wheel option is Grey Turbine. no Silver.
No more Silver paint but I like the titanium, maybe time for a an upgrade

, but I think I would need to get above the average $80K for a 2012 S (from an online price search):wink: I wonder if I can order the same VIN.
and deliveries jumped from May to June overnight.

Go for it ! If there's anyone that TM would repeat a VIN for, I am sure it is you. :biggrin:

So my estimated delivery time is June 3- June 22nd. Around when I expected it would come...I picked up my last car on June 22nd..maybe that will happen again? :smile:

Not only has the car improved alot, so has the delivery process...seems much more structured now. There's a pre-delivery checklist now with an estimated timeline for different events and instructions on next steps. Before we had to track down the DS and ask questions, now they seem more accessible.

Had a 60 in the production queue, and changed it to a 70D today. $500 hit, but figured it would be better to be the first 70D off the line than the last 60.

UNBELIEVABLE - They refunded my $500! Since I didn't change options, they are classifying my "change" as un "upgrade" to current specs rather than an "order change".

Thanks aloha tesla! It's beautiful! Same interior color too. The color is still a chameleon of sorts since it looks dark blue in some pics and deep blue in others! Can't wait to see one in person...especially when it's mine :biggrin:

I wanted warm silver by Eileen loves her pearl white...so pearl white it is. Auto pilot and premium package also.

Congrats on your order- nicely spec'd! Saw the new silver last night and its nice but you and Eileen made an excellent choice going with the pearl white!

I saw a blue 70D last Saturday when I was at Fremont, but it was by the charging station. This one looks like it's under the delivery tents. Does that mean someone's picking one up soon?

Likely, yes. We already have a 70D available at our Hawaii SC for any interested buyers, so surely there's already some on the road by now.

Probably the same one but just moved in the shade. It had dealer plates on it so its likely a demo driver.

nanimac · Apr 15, 2015

someone else posted a pic of that car on a different thread...I LOVE the color!

Boy, that blue really is a chameleon! It looks brighter in the shade and darker in the sun!

dpodoll · Apr 15, 2015

Anyone out there looking to sell a MS, I think I have a lead. Interested in mine, but already sold.

Let's see... how can I get a 70D sooner than Nanimac? I agree that the new blue is fabulous!
