Tesla Model S, now starting at $56,000 after incentives

Today we’re excited to reintroduce the Model S 60. Starting at $56,000 (after incentives) or $667 a month (details here), the Model S 60 delivers 210 miles (EPA est.) of range, a top speed of 130 mph and zero-to-60 acceleration in 5.5 seconds.
With all-wheel drive, the Model S 60D provides more range (218 miles EPA est.) and faster acceleration (zero-to-60 in 5.2 seconds).
Like all Tesla vehicles, the 60 and 60D come standard with active safety features and Autopilot hardware. And both versions can later be upgraded through a software update to 75 kWh for about 20% extra range.
Anyone who buys a 60 or any other new Model S or Model X between now and July 15 through the Tesla Referral Program gets a $1,000 credit towards the purchase. Just get the special personal code of any Tesla owner and enter it at the time of purchase.

I would love to get a p90d

I would hate to own one out of warranty. Especially now that news has come out that Telsa are asking their customers to sign a non disclosure agreement on repairs done.

Gonna wait for the Model 3 - I'm not quite OT rich yet

That's sketchy.
I dont see why they can't just get the shite right and THEN put it out. Why are they rushing it?

The warranty on the drive unit and battery is 8 years, unlimited miles. You wouldn't need to worry about being out of warranty for a while.
Also the model S has been out for years, so they aren't rushing this out.

Test drive the p90 and the p90d (same vehicle, 2 different settings). Wow is all I'm going to say.

I'm tired of hearing about how great Telsa is.
They are heavily subsidized, and still don't make money. On top of that, the product is still much more expense than the alternative and is riddled with problems.
Musk has done a great job at marketing electric as "sexy" but he's been given the benifit of the doubt for far too long IMO. Every generation has a new set of issues; if this was any other company (such as GM) he'd be crucified. But the media is obsessed with him and he gets a pass.
Would I drive one? Absolutely. Will I purchase one in the future? Possibly, if they can produce a generation that is not plagued by issues and find a way to improve the range.

I'm not talking about the drive unit.

The problem is easy enough to resolve, but expensive to fix. Because it was out of warranty, the owner was on the hook for the $3,100 repair bill. However, the broken suspension was caused by a defective part, so the owner escalated the issue to Tesla management to plead his case and ask to have it replaced for free. Tesla eventually agreed to split the cost of the repair, but before they would do that, the owner had to sign away his right to discuss the defect, which could preclude him from reporting it to the National Highway Safety and Transportation Administration (NHTSA).

I think it was Consumer Reports who had a serious break down in a Tesla Model S test car. They apparently suck.

Consumer reports initially gave it a score over 100 but then had to come back and change that because of all of the problems they had with the car. Edmunds had the same type of experience with their long term tester so it's not just an isolated event with the Consumer Reports car.

Summing Up Pros: Thrilling performance, spacious and comfortable cabin, unmatched electric range, easy-to-use driver interface, plenty of cargo space, free national supercharger network, no routine maintenance costs, strong resale value.
Cons: Extensive list of repairs necessary, interior amenities don't match other luxury sedans in its price range, latest active safety systems not available, needs at least a Level 2 charger to make it useful as a daily driver.
Bottom Line: The Model S is a fast, comfortable and technologically brilliant luxury sedan, but numerous problems with its touchscreen, tires and drivetrain make it hard to recommend.

That's scary. It does suck knowing you have a car full of stuff that no professional mechanic will ever have seen before and being stuck with only one company for repairs.
Though in theory the motors should last a really long time and the batteries would be somewhat modular. So it wouldn't be the hardest car to learn.

Do not want... Many of then here, know several people with them.

Tesla's have a lot of major problems. It's the flavor of the week product and the company knows it.

new tech = new problems
they'll iron themselves out by the time the price comes down to what i'm willing to pay. and probably full automated driving by then too
