Yeah. I was feeling some pressure on trying to order before the Supercharger referral promo went away, but I also did some math and given how few road trips I take, I don't think it really matters that much as I likely won't exceed the built-in 400 kWH benefit. I also saw that just today the...

This does help. I'm curious why you're waiting on Inventory versus a built-to-order?

Hi All. As you can see from my signature, I am a previous owner of a Model S P85+. I owned that car for a little over a year before life forced me to make a move to a multi-tenant apartment where I was not able to charge the car, and I ended up selling it. My relationship with that car was a...

Thread search isn't working for me, so sorry if others have already reported: After updating my Classic P85+ to 6.2 today I noticed the park assist safety chime was turned off. I always have this on and find it very valuable given a tricky home parking space. I found it odd that this update...

Thanks for the tidbits everyone! Appreciate the clarification.

Where did you hear about this? SC? I'm wondering if my new car was assembled with whatever this fix is already in place?

Technical question that I wasn't able to find a definitive answer to on the forum search: If my Model S is plugged in but NOT charging, perhaps because the charge is delayed or because it is complete, is the 12V battery still effectively bypassed while using the car's electronics/HVAC? Or does...

I actually requested it as a factory option. I received it in Fremont without any badging. I've done this with all of my BMWs as well and prefer the look.

gpetti: As promised, I took some pictures. Check it out over at: New P85+ on the Mean Streets of Oakland

A recap of my stats: Ordered and Confirmed 4/22/14, Delivered 6/12/14, Came Home 6/16/14 (went straight from Tesla factory to detailer.) The car was paint corrected, Opticoat Pro was applied, an Xpel wrap on the front, rear and forward quarter-panels was applied, and another layer of Opticoat...

Sure thing. I haven't had the car since delivery day as it has been getting taken care of by the detailers. I'll be taking some more pics when I pick the car up and I'll share them on the forum.

When I picked up my Model S at the factory yesterday all but one stall was occupied around 4pm on a Thursday. Given that this is the factory it's probably always going to have anomalous usage due to new delivery customers trying to check out what it's like. I'll admit to having backed into the...

Yup! This is at the Fremont customer delivery center which is attached to the factory. Went for the tour immediately afterward. NDA means I can't say much, but I'll say it was pretty cool. There's definitely some minor imperfections with the factory detail but nothing that can't be fixed up by...

Let's make that another happy customer! My P85+ delivered today (6/12/14), 51 days from confirming my order.

I'm using Joe over at Orinda Auto Detail (orindaautodetail.com). He was highly recommended in the California forum, and after paying him a visit a few weeks ago and seeing no fewer than 4 brand new Teslas being worked on in his shop I knew I had found the promised land. His website even features...
