And my VIN notification of early this week was for 67XX for Midnight Silver / Aero wheels, suggesting the cycle through all the colors/ wheels combinations is about 1500-1600 cars. So, between Monday and Thursday of this week, they made 1500-1600 cars?

Configured 2/7/18. Got my VIN assignment notification by the delivery specialist yesterday. 67XX, midnight sliver, 18" wheels, autopilot. So far, the DS is projecting delivery to the Charlotte / Matthews, NC store around the 24th of March but she said that is fluid and could change. Add 3 to 5...

I contacted them and they will no longer do business this way. They are limiting memberships to people in the Shenandoah Valley VA area as described on their website. Oh well.

Brake rotor warp can be diagnosed with a dial gauge. Pulsating brakes can be due to brake pad deposit on the rotors, as someone previously suggested, but if you have OEM pads on your Tesla, I highly doubt this as it would be a common problem. A failed or sticking caliper can cause rotor damage...

I have success with Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner, D10101,diluted 1:4, which I buy in the gallon concentrate form for around the same price as those two spray bottles that other people mention. I use the same product at 1:10 dilution as my interior (including leather) cleaner. I got the ideas...

Meguiar's Detailer All Purpose Cleaner, D10101, which I bought as a gallon concentrate, has worked great for me. I use it diluted 1:10 to directly spray on my leather seats which had developed a blue jean "patina" and I rubbed with a clean microfiber cloth, and it works fantastically for me. I...

Right, Except there were no cars or people. (cue Twilight Zone theme)

When I was driving last week, with TACC engaged but not autopilot, 45 mph, 5 lane counting center left-turn lane, non-divided highway, there was no traffic. I was looking left at an old industrial site wondering what it used to be when my S hit the brakes fairly firmly which immediately got my...

Like some of the others have said above, I use a local, independent shop for all my inspections and the work that I don't personally perform. I recently took my Model S in for NC inspection. I consider the proprietor a personal friend, and he was very interested in the Tesla. He even took pics...

Megualres All Purpose Cleaner D10101 in a 1:10 dilution worked fantastically well for me recently. I sprayed it on and wiped it off with a microfiber cloth. I learned about this stuff in an online detailing forum, bought a gallon (It is a concentrate and you dilute it however you'd like) and...

As you can see, I have an unfinished, detached garage (3 bay) with open trusses and stud walls. So I started with a couple sheets of plywood to create a "surface" to work with. My electrician ran power (60 amp service is what I had coming to my garage, on the opposite side of the structure)...

Hmm, I'm still on 2.12.126. I'm just not clear on how (why) these updates go to some and not others.

I also live out in "the sticks" and had a local electrician do my installation. At the same time, I had him install a 14-50 outlet, and a welder outlet right below my HPWC. He installed a small sub-panel box with circuit breakers as a service disconnect and so I could keep the power off to those...

I disagree. Try turning a "dead wheel" on a vehicle with manual steering (not power assist) or even a riding lawn mower, gator, or ATV. You'll feel the difference. MUCH easier (less force required at steering wheel) when the vehicle is moving as opposed to stationary.

Pre-heat it, fully charge it, and send her on her way knowing she is in the safest car on the road. That alone is worth the other concerns which get better with experience.
