I ended up making the 7.5 hour drive back from Cleveland without FSD. The other folks were right, it wasn't needed. The Model Y vision based autopilot overall is so much more sharp and deliberate compared to the old Mobileye-based autopilot. The self-calibration completed in about 5 miles as...

That is true now that I think about it. Either way I’ll see what happens if I activate it as soon as the car is delivered. But if its not able to be enabled immediately, you’re right normal autopilot on the highway should be enough to reduce workload for the long drive. That is good to know...

Nah I'm talking about turning it on after buying the upgrade. From my MS experience its not instantaneous. But I'd like to hear feedback from others after signing onto the $199/mo plan, how long it takes for the features to show up in the car. I get that the car will take some time to calibrate...

Hey TMC Folks-Long story short, does anybody know how long it takes from signing up for $199/mo FSD to actually getting the features on the car? I ordered a Model Y 2 months ago with slated delivery being pushed back from September all the way to December. I was able to get alerted to a out of...

Thanks @Ostrichsak, I did end up finding two threads that took on the same project once I started searching for part numbers. For other folks who are interested, here they are: Parts list and instructions to add 2016+ center console into 2012-2016 MS MS Rear cup holder retrofit I'll try to...

I was looking into getting my 6/2016 Model S center console retrofitted to include rear-cup holders as early as late 2016. Back then, I've asked the service center and they stated that it wasn't possible to install the retractable cup-holders unless you replaced the entire center console. The...

@destructure00 How did the second Gen2 work out for you? I’m in the same predicament, deciding between a eBay Gen2 or buy two Gen3s and sell my Gen2.

I have the same issue. Reported to Tesla on 12/20 via email. They responded with try rebooting the cars computer. It didn't work. I tried turning off absolute volume via developer controls on my Pixel 3 XL. No joy. I originally thought it was my Android since it also just recently updated. So...

Hello All, I was wondering if anybody has noticed a significant increase in power consumption when the "Bioweapon" HEPA filter is turned on vs. when it is not. I was doing a short drive today and turned on the HEPA filter. Efficiency shot up to ~1200Wh/mi in the beginning of the drive and after...

I hear a noise as well when AP brakes or slows down significantly. It's kind of like a declining rattling noise. The most similar noise is a roulette ball slowing down on the wheel, just before it settles. Only AP though. When I pump the brakes, no noise.

Hey All, Thought I would share a charging card I made. It gives a good approximate on charging time. I have two J1772 chargers at my apartment complex and a ton of 110Vs in the garage. Given the battery state of charge remaining, I can use this card to decide where to charge. Columns...

If anybody is interested. Here's a E-ZPass taken apart. The parts are horizontally aligned. If you are looking at the E-ZPass from the front (where the barcode/label is) note that the antenna part is on the right. So when you mount it make sure the right part of the E-ZPass is on the non-coated...

Yes. I went to the big screen, under settings to do a shut-off, then turned the car back on. Yea, basically I restarted the car and it worked again after.

Hey All, A few weeks ago when I was pulling out of a Trader Joe's parking lot in a tight turn and my steering wheel locked up. The car was powered, everything was on except that the steering wheel was very stiff, as if powered steering turned off. Turning the wheel required a tremendous amount...

All this information discrepancy from Tesla people is getting very annoying. I just want those rear cupholders. My car was delivered with the new console but without the cupholders. I'm not sure what's true anymore.

Ok. I just had a huge email discussion with the local Tesla Service Center people. They are saying that the $1250 Model S Integrated Center Console does not have rear cupholders despite what the description and pictures say. Either they are confused and have no idea what the mothership is...

It's not the best picture in the world because it's hard to reach to begin with. But you can see that the top bin is stacked and can be removed to reach whatever is underneath.

Hey All, I got my new S 70 yesterday. While settling into my new car, what hit me the most was the surprising lack of storage space when compared to my old Passat: No front door storage. No arm-rest storage. (What's in there any way?) No seat-back pouch storage. No rear door storage. No rear...

Just checked. While there are 4 cup holders for the front, there are none for the back seats. Is it an after market console? The refresh front console has two cup holders in the armrest and two adjustable ones in a lidded compartment. The compartment has wasted space behind the cup holder as...

You know, I haven't checked. Let me go check later tonight and let you know.

Picked up my S70 today. It was exciting driving it around running errands. Obligatory picture below. Confirmation to delivery was 43 days. Delivery tips (mileage may vary): 1. Ask them to remove the car info sticker on the window. A guy from the service center had a razor blade and a cleaner...

I confirmed my S70 on 4/27. At the time of ordering, the estimate on the website was Late May to June. During the "waiting", I've seen it shift to Late June to July. Overall, the lack of detailed information about the progress of the car was concerning. I'm usually the person "behind the...

According to the spreadsheet, 4 cars (including mine) started production today.

At this point, repeatedly refreshing the My Tesla page is like repeatedly clicking the elevator call button--sure it feels good that moment you press it again, but not enough to overcome the slight disappointment when its not coming any faster ... so you press it again.

I agree that Tesla's process of setting customer expectations can be better. Reality === expectations means good customer service. In my experience if you can't deliver the impossible, then just set the right expectation and customers will generally be content. At the same time, I'm not...

Can't the owner of the Google Doc go back and commit a previous version? Google Docs has revision history.

:( Just checked My Tesla. My delivery window was just delayed a month from Late May - June to Late June - July. S70 confirmed/VIN'ed 4/27

Hopefully it'll soon be in production. I ordered a S 70 as well, confirmed 4/27. My delivery specialist has told me that it is scheduled to enter production early next week with a delivery of early June. (In Arlington, VA)

Good luck on the mortgage and ditto on Dinosaur's comment. If you could let us know the rate/down/fees when you close, I might consider switching. A rate of 1.74 % is definitely better than 3 %. But some banks charge origination fees and all this other nonsense that increase the effective APR.

My recent Model S 70 order is around your build price. The recommended down payment is about 10 % of the value of your car. Tesla has a financing option where they will put your contract out to a few banks and Tesla will try to get you the best deal, or you can finance it independently. If you...
