@timf Did you ask if the car qualified for the tax credit and/or state rebate?

I have a few more data points about the market now. AutoNation: Tesla has a trade-in agreement with AutoNationDirect where they take all your information and pictures online and deliver a guaranteed purchase number for 30 days. Once they see the car and verify that what you have stated is...

Dealer just told me they have no interest in purchasing/reselling my FFE. No surprise there but thought I'd ask. I'll probably drive it to Carmax as well to see what number they will give me. @v_traveller I'm thinking your $23K number is closer to correct, or even perhaps lower if I want to...

I took the plunge and decided to buy a Tesla Model S last week knowing I was going to lose money on my FFE. As I'm looking to sell, I'm seeing deals in these forums that lead me to believe that the KBB price has yet to catch up to the real value I can receive for trade-in or private sale. Here...

13,400 with no problems (except SYNC bugs). This is my everyday commuter car going 56 miles per day 5-6 times per week with a charge every evening.

SYNC went blank and rebooted last night for the first time (I'm at 9500 miles since July). If I don't see it again for 6 months, I'll just assume the SYNC software drove into the weeds and the watchdog issued a reset. With a system as buggy as SYNC, I'm guessing this is likely to happen from...

Don, I think so. I tried setting a start time once, but found the battery was slightly depleted when I disconnected from the charger. I disabled it after that because I live in SoCal where it's not really necessary if the car is garaged. However, I now think it may have been before I...

I've seen it. It cleared after driving less than a minute, though. Tim

I get sales information from here: http://insideevs.com/monthly-plug-in-sales-scorecard/ Tim

I remember another person posting about this issue a few months ago, but I think he ended up at the dealer to fix. I like your solution better. ;) Tim

... the Focus Electric scored five stars in all three tests (front impact, side impact and resistance to rollover)... I'm in the auto safety business and this is harder than is seems. Congratulations to Ford! http://insideevs.com/ford-focus-electric-scores-five-star-safety-rating-from-nhtsa/

Mine took longer than expected. I'd say give it two months. Tim

In my experience, the charge log times are unreliable. Better to setup emails or texts for start and stop of charge to get accurate data. Tim

Mike, I don't expect they're looking for more money from the deal. LADWP is just trying to push as many load sources as possible away from peak hours and their incentive is charging cheaper rates using a TOU rate structure and the EVSE credit. I'm with SCE on a residential TOU plan (no...

Wood, I've left my FFE at the airport for more than 2 weeks without any issues with the 12V or other problems. Easiest explanation is that you probably have something unexpected draining your 12V. Tim
