Not this again... Maybe so, but they're continuing to take in new reservations as well. It's not like they've stopped. As long as they're behind on reservations, it doesn't matter about the cancelations. Once they're caught up, all that matters is that "reservations - cancelations >= production rate"! Can they do that? We'll see.Train said:Many have cancelled reservations.
What is the backlog right now ?GeekEV said:As long as they're behind on reservations, it doesn't matter about the cancelations. Once they're caught up, all that matters is that "reservations - cancelations >= production rate"! Can they do that? We'll see.

So I wound up ordering these directly from the manufacturer in England ( http://www.alloygator.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ). Shipping got here in about a week and a half. After the exchange rate, VAT, international shipping, bank foreign funds fee, etc., total price was just under $100. I got my local America's Tire store to install them for me. Their normal labor rate for 21"s is $20/tire, but he cut me a deal at $15/tire. So my total cost was $160. The first one took them almost 45 minutes to figure out and get right, but after that he flew through the next three. If anyone out there is local to the Sacramento area and wants this done, PM me and I'll give you the location of the store, the manager's name and the guy who installed them - he's an expert now.GaslessInSeattle said:I got the black, it blends right in with the tire.

IM if you'd like me to send you a close up pic, i can take one easily, just don't have an account to upload and link it to. they take some work to get on but they take a whole lot of worry out of the equation!

They really do blend in pretty nicely, particularly on a freshly-blacked tire...
Not without photographic evidence they don't !!!!GeekEV said:GaslessInSeattle said:They really do blend in pretty nicely, particularly on a freshly-blacked tire...

For what it's worth, I have been unable to smoke my tires (like R&T does in their review photos) in my non-performance 60 kWh model - despite my best efforts. The good news is, it's plenty fast, even faster than officially stated. Tesla lists the 0-60 mph time for the 60 kWh model as 5.9 seconds, but I've clocked it at 5.6! :shock:GRA said:And now for something completely different, Road & Track's review of the Tesla S. It is, to put this with British understatement, positive.

From the article: "The Model S's power seats don't have a memory setting." My driver's seat does. Have one setting for me, one for my wife, and one for easier entry/exit.GRA said:And now for something completely different, Road & Track's review of the Tesla S.
