Ordinarily, I would agree 100%, but there is so much pressure on something big coming out of their flagship vehicles in the short term for a variety of reasons, I do think that this variant may be getting the priority it deserves from a delivery timing perspective (evidenced by testing at the...

Same with my 2013.

Per his tweet, looks like the rear facing seats will be part of the "Plaid variant". Too bad it's looking like we'll have to wait over a year for it to go into production, but looking forward to it!

Update: So, after a two week wait, a mobile technician came out and replaced the charge port door . . . or at least so I think, because the following morning, the door popped open again with the magnet stuck on it. Scheduled another service appointment on the mobile app. Soonest appointment...

I'm in the same boat, and I do love having the free supercharging when we do take road trips.

It's black, and very well taken care of. I'll post it on here if I do end up going the sell route in the future. The only reason I'd plan to trade it in is if they offer a deal like they did with Raven -- e.g., free ludicrous mode for existing owners.

I've been thinking about swapping out my 2013 MS P85+ with a new MS for sometime now, but it's as enjoyable and low maintenance to drive now as it was when I purchased it six years ago. With all the back and forth about pending "refreshes," (however you want to define it) and various issues...

So as to prevent any potential claims that anything I do myself violates extended service agreement coverage, I'm asking them how much it would cost for THEM to simply re-adhere the magnet to the charge port door (which is otherwise in fine shape).

The magnet just became detached from the charge port door of my 2013 MS P85+. (Not the first time.) Tesla responded that because it's "covered" under my extended service agreement, they can swap out the entire charge port door . . . for payment of the $200 deductible. Gee, thanks.

Let me know if you find a quality installer with a system that is compatible with Powerwalls and I will do the same.

Well, it's not just the Northeast anymore. Include sunny, low-rain Phoenix (and everywhere else) now. After several months of back and forth with submitting electric usage info and two on-site assessments, I was just informed that they are declining to perform the installation. After an email...

No idea whether there's any correlation, but when news of the Model S powertrain, suspension, etc. updates came out a couple of weeks ago, I discussed a potential purchase with a Tesla sales advisor and he confirmed (to my chagrin) that Arachnid wheels are no longer available as an off-the-menu...

Fwiw, the Tesla gallery sales rep. I spoke with a couple of days ago told me, unequivocally, that the sunroof is no longer an available option.

From what I was told by a Tesla gallery sales rep. who just looked into it on my behalf within the last couple of days, carbon fiber trim is still available as an off-the-menu item (at least with the black interior). However, the following are not available on- or off-the-menu: (1) rear-facing...

Correct. Other than no reference to interior refresh - which could come within the next few months if rumors turn out to be true -- this was unequivocally stated in yesterday's release. From the last line: "These changes will go into production at our factory in Fremont, California this week...
