The delivery truck more or less passed my house and still I had to drive 1000+ kilometres to get it:

My wife and I were ecstatic when Zero delivered (!) our second 2014 DS to the house, after a charging issue the day we bought it. We live 30 miles from the Zero HQ, but this is above and beyond our other vehicle experiences, no doubt!

That is a lot nicer truck than the old pickup that they used to collect and return my 2012 Zero S to my home when it needed its throttle assembly replaced shortly after I bought it from my dealer.   ;)

Wow, great service for the peninsula! Hopefully, they will be a model and an inspiration to their dealers  :)

Those were the early days. The factory doesn't provide that kind of service anymore.   ;)

I live in Virginia. I've ordered a couple parts from Hollywood Electrics drop shipped over the years. Most recent was last December.

I second that.  When I lived in Florida I had my 2012 Zero sent to my house drop shipped from Hollywood Electrics.  No matter where in the world you live, they can offer unmatched support.  Many little things that a dealer would probably say "bring it in", Harlan would say, "oh, no big deal, just do this" and that was it!  You could still take it to a local dealer if anything hardware wise went wrong, but these days that is less and less likely.

I would suggest everyone at least consider ordering their Zero from Hollywood Electrics.  I can promise, no one knows electric motorcycles better anywhere.  If you check out their facebook page and see some of the photos, you will see there are hundreds of Zero owners who are called part of the Hollywood Electrics "family".  And when you order from them, that's exactly how they treat you.

If you have a dealer 10 miles from you in town, I can see the potential benefit in forming a relationship that way, but if not, you know what I'd do.

Can you describe your experience with Hollywood Electrics more?  How did your purchase costs compare to buying local?  Did you have to do some assembly or setup when the bike arrived?  Did you have to pay CA tax?  Have you needed any warranty work?
