Now that's what I call music!

Yeah, that's right. Our Acura MDX has 6 latch points, and we had to look very hard to find that. I was able to fit one sub-40 pound baby seat and two sub-80 pound boosters in the back of the S, with one of the boosters attached via the three-point belt. I would consider this is a fundamental...

My brakes are squealing a bit, and there is also some rubbing noise when I released them. I've had this happen in other cars; I think it's a standard issue with new disc brakes. I wouldn't worry until you have a couple thousand miles on.

Here is my question to the Ownership team and their response: 1) I would like to pre-buy the 4 year maintenance contract (not with rangers, I'm quite close to the Menlo store). How can I do that? a. We are finalizing details on the maintenance contract and offering it shortly...

I was able to get both my garage and front gate working. Both receivers utilize rotating codes, so I needed to press the learn button when prompted Other than needing to press the remote for quite a while while waving it around the front bumper, the pairing worked fine.

I sent them the pre-sale MVPA and that seemed to make them happy, they sent back the check, promissory note and some other paperwork. I gave the check to Tesla, sent in the paperwork and the first payment, and everything looks ok on the website. They want a copy of the registration showing the...

Yup, paid the full MVPA price and the seats are on a Due Bill.

Got my car yesterday, but without the seats. There are no holes or mounting hardware visible, so it seems like installing the seats might be a serious job, requiring the whole back carpet and perhaps part of the deck below to be replaced. The problem with the rear seats must be serious if...

1) Lack of front storage options. The front chin would be perfect for my cell phone... if it had a USB plug. I'm hoping Soflauthor's console is available soon. 2) The music and navigation interfaces could still use some work. Easier ways to dive into a huge music collection would be helpful in...

I took delivery of Sig 551, VIN 446 yesterday at the factory. We took the factory tour, and even on a Sunday it looked like there were several hundred employees doing final assembly and inspections. Elon rode by on a bicycle and waved, it was quite Fellini-esque. It came with the dashboard...

I'm also supposed to have Sig Perf #551 delivered between today (no call, so I guess not) and Oct 19th, with the Pano and the child seats. Looks like if the jump seats were a problem they definitely are not anymore.

That's odd, PenFed sent me a packet with the promissory note and a check (made out to Tesla) before I had the VIN. Looks like I just sign the paperwork, add the VIN, hand the check over, then send a copy of the registration (with the lien) within 90 days. I've honestly been shocked with how...

I apologize, I saw a car lacking external performance identifiers, including the P85 badge, spoiler and dark wheels. In other news, there is at least one sheep in Scotland and at least one half of it is black. (From an old engineer, scientist, mathematician joke.)

Saw a Signature Red, non-perf with chrome 21" wheels on Ralston Ave in Belmont this morning. The female driver accelerated away too quickly for a picture. I guess there is a founder living in Belmont or San Carlos.
