Tesla Master Thread

[Joel]

Dan only has a free reservation not a free car 

Thanks to referring people to Tesla I also got perks like a Kids Model S, priority software updates, a Tesla unveiling, driving the Boring Machine underground, and a free reservation with a hefty purchase price discount on the future Roadster. I also got a set of forged performance wheels for the Model 3, which I sold off for a few thousand dollars to someone who drove in from Chicago to pick them up! Alas the referral program only gives free supercharging these days. My Boring machine reward is still vaporware with no estimated date when I can actually use it.

TBH I'm not sure what I have, but it did show up in my account and I'm not complaining. Still no word on sending a photo into space or the boring machine award either.
Referrals from the current deal don't post until delivery.

Initial concept, open to feedback (she can also take it in a different direction, what did you have in mind?)

There are two things that I would change.

1. The letters OFF should be tilting the same direction as the 50%. The way it is now, it looks very disjointed.
2. The words "DansDeals" should be larger. Maybe make the "50% off" smaller and "DansDeals should take up the whole last line.

Next, I need one that reads "I saved 50% on tuition because of a bumper sticker"

anyone ordered a model x or y that won't take delivery? I have someone looking for one.  Thanks

Interesting, my reservation originally said estimated delivery February 3 - March 3. Last week that changed to November 14-30, today it's back to the original dates.

Typical.

Out of curiosity I just checked mine says September. Whoa.

Mine showing November 12th, been like that for a while

FYI, in NY delivery delays should be grounds for getting non refundable deposit back. If anyone wants to cancel.

Another price increase.
Model 3 and Y $1000

As I said would happen. Already 3 increases and the referral program has been killed since the DDMS post.

I have both. Undecided as to which one i will be buying. Will post here as it gets close to delivery date and i make a decision. I’m actually pretty excited as the model y pricing has increased by 4k and x by 5k since i locked the price.

He says "Note, I do not take a cash salary or bonus from anywhere. I only have stock, thus the only way for me to pay taxes personally is to sell stock."

Is this true? I thought these unrealized gain billionaires borrowed against their unrealized gains to get cash.

They do. You don't pay taxes on money that you borrow

is it bad or good  (the fact that he doesn't pay taxes is good for the US?)?
of course its good he lets his money instead of going to his salary grow his company
