Ditto everyone else. I had one incident where the touchscreen froze and didn't display anything, but everything else... nope. No issues.

Not sure if it's settled, but I suspect it is. He didn't return my call, and when I emailed my salesman he talked to the guy, and emailed back that, yep, that was the error. I think the finance guy is too embarrassed to return my call.

I finally figured out what it was. The guy we signed the paperwork with charged me MARYLAND sales tax, not VIRGINIA sales tax, which is where the extra $750 comes from. I'm not paying Maryland sales tax when I live in Virginia!

I signed a purchase order, with an agreement to buy the car at a certain price, everything included.

When I put in my order for the FFH, I asked for the EXACT amount I would be paying. Taxes, title, license, EVERYTHING. I was given a reasonable number, and I agreed on it. I signed a paper stating that that was what I would be charged. Come time to buy it, he showed me the same paper, but with a new price for the car - LOWER, because they'd messed up the taxes so they wanted to make sure my numbers still worked out. I agreed. I went back, signed all the paperwork with the finance guy... and didn't read it that closely, because I had just been shown how much I'd be paying, so I expected them to honor it. Now, three weeks later, he calls and says that my financing check was short by $750. The check was for exactly how much I was going to owe, calculated by the amount I was given minus my down payment. I argued, but he's determined that I underpaid. I don't know how he messed up the docs, but he obviously did and now is trying to make me pay the extra. I think he might have put the original selling amount, not the lower amount because of the screwup with the taxes. Also, I just noticed they added a BS charge for a "tire recycling fee," which in MD is $1 PER TIRE, and they charged me $224. What the heck is that. I'm still fighting, but probably I"ll lose because I signed the sheet without reading it thoroughly. Teach me to trust car dealers. :rant:

Funny, the electronic turn signal was one thing I HATED in the 2013, and I love that they brought the mechnical back in the 2014. To each his own. If your MFT is truly crashing every 20 minutes, you should take it back to the dealership and see if they can do something, because that's not normal, sounds like a bad software install.

Oh wow, those are a LOT lighter than I was expecting. Well, I hope having an infant and a car with basically white seats wasn't a huge mistake on my part. ;)

Did you two get your rail car number from your dealers? Mine didn't give it to me, just said it's due the first week of December (thanks, already knew that).

I've been reading Elon Musk's tweets, and he's pretty annoyed by the hoopla. He made a good point - that there's thousands (more than a hundred thousand?) of gas car fires a year, resulting in hundreds of deaths, yet THREE Tesla fires that resulted in NO deaths are huge news.

I hope it comes out, but... they haven't actually MADE a battery. They need to put their money where their mouths are.

They probably told you that just in case it was like last year and the cars were really delayed. Then when it comes in early, they get to make like they pulled some strings and got it to you early.

Well, that's a little disappointing, I was hoping for grey. Ah well, it's better than black.

How many cars could crash into a concrete wall AND a tree at a high rate of speed, and the driver gets up and walks away? I'd say that says a LOT more about Teslas than a couple of fires that were all due to extreme circumstances.

Me too, woo hoo! My dealer said it's scheduled to be built November 13.

Me too! I can't believe it's been scheduled that quickly, I was expecting December.
