At my local garage to get the winter tires put on; they have assured me that they have done this with several Tesla. All good from my side. After pulling in they didn't completely like how my S was positioned over the lift. As I was already out of the car, I motioned to one of them to just jump in and move it. "Keys?".... "You don't need them" (as I am standing next to the car). After jumping in he was searching on the steering column for how to start the car. "Step on the brake." Had to repeat that bit twice.
Only later was everything made clear - although they have changed several sets of tires, each time it was the owner who drove in and out. It was good for a chuckle...
That also told me that jack mode was not needed if the entire car is lifted up at once; anyone care to comment on this? I did show them how to put a Tesla into jack mode, just in case.
Early on in my time with my red Model S, twice I had the experience of women coming up to the car in a supermarket parking lot and asking if it was Italian. One specifically asked if it was a Maserati! I suppose the bright red color adds to its "Italian sports car" look.
Pretty fancy car if it has built in doughnut wipers.Saw this today on NextDoor.com...
Tesla owner borrowed their spouse's car for the day, perhaps? Oops.

Even cheaper, find a used listing for one that HAD previously been purchased as a CPO (ev-cpo.com was my tool to assist, thanks Hank). I couldn't find a P85 in my price range at the time. I found one at cars.com, cross-referenced the CARFAX against ev-cpo and bingo. I had been watching the CPO listings for over a year. I have had my 2013 CPO for over a year and there is still a year+ and 10,000 miles left on the CPO warranty. It was a lot of work, but worth it.I know this post is over a year old but if you haven't ordered the second MS yet you might want to consider a CPO MS. Save yourself a ton of coin and get all the options. Simply consider a CPO MS as having a few more " test " miles on it. I don't own MS yet, but I've visited the store in Natick once and Watertown once to look at CPO cars and was very impressed with the quality of the CPO fleet.
Buying a CPO MS can save you a bunch of money but no one but you and your wife will know as it will look like it just rolled off the production line. Tesla will not sell a used car that won't meet Teslas specifications for CPO. Cars that don't meet the CPO program are sold to used car dealers.
Why pay for a new car when you can get the same quality and attention to detail Tesla offers on a CPO P85D. I was at the hookset SC back in July and a MS pulled in and while talking to the owner discovered it was a CPO car and it had just over 22,000 miles on it yet I thought it was new.
He saved over $45'000 versus a new one.
Food for thought.
I may never be able to own one myself but I can live vicariously through you Gentleman and Ladies who own and enjoy one.
She seemed less impressed than he was.
I, for one, have never had a door handle repair bill Tesla moment in 4.5 years of ownership.Maybe she already had the door handle repair bill Tesla moment....
I, for two, have had four handles fixed (one twice). The last one -- driver's handle worked fine when it went in for service, apparently failed some time during the day, was replaced "good will" (not under warranty) before I picked it up.I, for one, have never had a door handle repair bill Tesla moment in 4.5 years of ownership.
