    Thanks. Good to know.

    MCU2 - Retrofit

    If I got the full self driving upgrade (I have enhanced now), would they upgrade the MCU too? We have AP2/MCU1. We've been thinking about upgrading for awhile. Just wasn't sure if the HW3 needs MCU2.

    No VINs in October?

    She was contacted by the service center about a large order for Europe that had to get out, so her car is delayed. She's trading in so she hopes they still honor the price they gave her if she goes a little over the mileage they set. I think she'll be fine, but it indicated a trade in date of...

    No VINs in October?

    A friend of mine that ordered a week ago thought she'd have her car in 3 weeks. It's now extended to 6-8 weeks.

    Does anyone plan to road trip for the Aug 21st eclipse? Could be a major test for the network.

    We'll also be in Rexburg. Probably fully charged as we're staying with friends on the 19th-21st in Ashton. Then early morning departure to travel south. Close to Rexburg. I don't know where we'll end up. Afterwards, we're going to try to get to Buhl for a camp night. Crossing our fingers...

    Going to the eclipse?

    My husband and I will begin our trip on the 17th. We'll be in Washington, UT (17th), Salt Lake City (18th) and traveling through Idaho Falls on the 19th. Friends in Ashton will take us in, but we'll head down to Rexburg with a full charge that morning. Then we'll see how it goes. We have a...

    Buyer Remorse...Maybe

    I'd ask. We almost changed our minds after signing a contract but they were willing to waive the fee. We decided to keep what we were getting. Now I wish I had the softer vegan seats. And if air suspension was included, I would have loved it. Also, is it true that some are reporting their...

    How to justify buying CPO vs New Model S?

    jgd108, I personally wouldn't take a 2013. And maybe if you were told what the payments would be for a 2013 vs a new 2017, it might not be a huge difference. You mention a $13,000 difference, but I didn't see the referral reduction of $1000. So if you have someone's referral code, you'll lower...

    Going to the eclipse?

    We're going to watch the weather too. We'll head west if needed. Maybe we'll see you there.

    What did you (or will you) name your model S?

    The first model this was named Stormtrooper because it was white. When we upgraded to a midnight silver floor model, we named it Tron.

    Going to the eclipse?

    We're actually driving up from Scottsdale beginning the 17th. We'll be in Washington, UT in an Airbnb. The 18th in Salt Lake City in a hotel (we think). Then off to Ashton, ID to stay with friends. We'll drive south early on the 21st to hit Rexburg, ID. Hopefully, we don't have to make some...

    Newbie Question--Upgrading AP2/AP2 Enhanced Autopilot to Full Self Driving

    We bought a CPO and decided to wait off on turning on the feature. I figure I can make a $1000 from owning stock then to give it up now. (Wishful thinking) . Plus what if that feature can never work because it needs additional hardware. So we skipped it and have Enhanced AP2. I know some are...

    Total Solar Eclipse - Aug 21, 2017

    I was going to post and found this! Yes, we have plans to drive up from Scottsdale with the dog. Going through Utah for a couple nights and ending up at Ashton with friends. Our plan is to get to Rexburg that morning. I think it has the longest total eclipse. Then head to Idaho Falls to...

    No free supercharging for CPO purchases after 12/31/2016?

    I heard the same thing from an associate. And this was after she had checked with Fremont. The free supercharging goes with the vin.
