Are you going to leave it or bring it in to the dealer to fix it?

No doubt the dealers in Wyoming think nobody buys the damn things.


In my case if I went by local numbers there is only me and two other dudes but drive 2 hours away and they are tripping over each other.


Both the coasts seem to love the things.
Are those sold units? I've yet to actually see one going down the road.
It's not that it's too much money, it's just paying more for what I don't really want if that makes sense.

Those are not the tS those are just people from here that have added themselves. Not paying more for what you don't want makes perfect sense. The statement that nobody is buying them because you think it is too much does not.

I guess I don't remember making that claim, obviously they will all sell for the reasons you said about rarity etc. It's going to be someone's dream car and more power to them if that's what they want, they aren't spending my money to pay for it so I really don't care.

I may have read more into your statement about them not selling locally than you intended.

No insecurity here, just stated it looks goofy, overkill. Don’t be butthurt. It’s not necessary but if you like it and obviously you do since you dropped 35k for it congrats!

When I go into maps by tomtom, my location shows that I am like 15 miles away...Does anyone know how to go into the settings where you would calibrate the rear camera? On my 15', when I installed a backup cam, I was able to go into the calibration setting. Just wondering if there might be a sequence of buttons to get into something like that...anyone have any ideas?

Nice video and congratulations for the tS. Do you have any plans to modify it slightly? Bucket seats, coilovers for adjustability, engine tune? Or do you plan to keep it entirely stock?

most of them will sell, but every single one of these special series releases have had a few dozen unsold around the nation for months. And then of course the people that drive them for a few months and realize they really didn't want it and trade it in hurts as well.

It's all about patience. I'm tempted to think about trading mine in, but I want to wait and see if some of these dealers get desperate.

Have fun with this!

Nationwide for U.S. Retailers

Edit: Totally forgot to put it, but basically 30% of the tS's are not available.
