What a lovely Christmas present! This location is almost exactly midpoint between my house and my parents'. It could not be more perfectly situated for me.

The Supercharger in Mt. Gilead just opened! Mt. Gilead Supercharger | Tesla This is literally the perfect supercharger for me, as I make the drive to and through Columbus from Cleveland all the time.

Installing right now. S85D in Cleveland, Ohio, vin #816xx I hope it doesn't take 2 hours or I'm going to be REALLY late for work. Edit: Update took the 1:45 that it said it would. Time to go play!

What's the average age of a Tesla Model S buyer? It's an expensive car. Expensive cars are typically bought by older people. Older people are typically more cautious. ergo, QED, ipso facto, or something.

I called about this issue this morning and the Service Advisor said "wait for the software update". You mean the software update that is currently being downloaded? "Why yes", she said. How convenient!

Perhaps the seats being shown in the screenshots we've all seen are the Model X's equivalent of the Executive Rear Seats, which also don't fold flat.

I'm 100% sure they won't do this. There's no way that they would expose the seating surface to cargo loads.

Nothing. A premium interior is not high on my list of required amenities. I am quite happy with my premium technology vehicle with a nice, basic, spartan interior. I didn't even spring for Alcantara or leather.

I've noticed that when going through a touchless car wash, the rack mount covers tend to get flipped open by the waterjets. I wonder if this update is to address that too.

I can't speak for the supercharger, but for my logo I built it by printing out a large scale copy of the logo on a wide format plotter and and just duplicating it on the paper to that size. As for pieces, Probably 10,000-ish, and about 2-3 weeks work.

The top of the T is attached with some clear bricks in two locations, about 2/3 of the way out on each bar. You can't see them because they blend into the background. As for piece count, for the T I'd estimate around 5000. For the Supercharger I have no idea, I don't remember asking the builder.

So I built a roughly 3 foot tall model of the Tesla Logo out of Lego and displayed it at a Lego show in Chicago last weekend. My friend Robert, coincidentally and entirely without my knowledge, built a 2/3 scale supercharger to display at the same show. They make for a very nice picture...

My delivery to Cleveland came by train to Chicago, where it was offloaded and trucked from there. It took about 3 weeks all told from when its build was completed to when I picked it up - a week waiting for a train, a week on the train, and then a week getting offloaded in Chicago, trucked, and...

I got the update pushed out to me this morning and installed it after lunch, and it seemed like the android app connected a lot faster than it usually does when I fired it up to pre-cool the car prior to leaving work. Has anyone else noticed that?

Huh. This happened to me today as well. Cancelled the routing and redid it and it cleared up.
