Does the delivery specialist that I worked with the first time around "own" getting the seat swap scheduled etc? The reason I ask is that I got a non answer from my DS when I asked the when question and he references that my service team will reach out to me. It sounds like a "thats not my...

In JB's 12/30 blog post he states: "The software update to implement torque sleep will be downloaded to the dual motor fleet by the end of January 2015 and will substantially improve the range of dual motor vehicles by roughly 10%." What do you think will they meet the deadline? Based on prior...

I just got the update and am installing it now. It says that the car needs 1 hour 40 minutes for the update, so it looks to be a bigger update. I could not pull up the release notes so I don't know what it contains. Hopefully the torque idling software and a revised power delivery curve to get...

There is a drag race between a Hellcat and a P85D where the Tesla runs a 1/4 mile in 11.6 seconds @ 114 mph, so the D is significantly faster the the P85. The link to the race is posted below: Tesla Model S P85D Sets 1/4 Mile World Record While Challenger Hellcat Goes up in Smoke Drag Racing |...

Working with customers to get their next gen seats installed?

Thanks for running the test WK057. At 352 Wh/mi usage you probably are close to the "cruising range" of 240 miles for the P85D that JB posted in todays blog. I would guess that the torque sleep control software will give you some improvement if you run the test again. Did you follow the same...

Thanks for doing the test, and your energy usage is high. I did a 101 total mile roundtrip, retracing my route to a from a destination. There were 4 of us in the car plus some presents and food etc., call it 600 lbs of weight inclusive. My car had 220 miles on the OD when we started the trip...

After the latest software update my indicated full charge range increased from 242 miles to 251 miles. Today I will do a 100 mile round trip 90% highway, and will be able to compare the energy usage that I experieced in my first 300 miles. I will put the car in range mode, and the sport setting.

For a data point, my car was delivered on Saturday 12/20 without the tan "next gen seats". Production started on 12/13 and was complete on 12/18. My DS informed me of this ahead of time, but when I took delivery the seats were not listed on the "Delivery Declaration and Due Bill" document. I had...

Sorry for the confusion, my car does not have the upgraded console, just the big open tray between the seats. But this tray has the yacht floor, yet I don't think I ordered it. (I definitely didn't order the "Premium Interior Package", but my question is does the carbon fiber yacht floor come...

I took delivery of my P85D today, awesome car on many levels. I have the carbon fiber decor, but did not order the "Premium Interior Package", yet to my surprise my center console has the yacht floor in carbon fiber. Is this a mistake byTesla, or does the center console get delivered in carbon...

How many days was your vehicle "In Production"? Thanks. - - - Updated - - - Congrats. How did you find out that the car was stuck in "noise vibration etc" status? Where does one get that information. The My Tesla website only shows "In Production", its been that way since Saturday 12/13. Thanks.

I suspect your car had some other defect that they need to manually re-work. Same process. Maybe you can convince Tesla to deliver you an 05 La Tache to compensate you for all your patience? :biggrin:

My car just went to: "In Production. The Tesla factory is building your Model S" status, nice to see. My VIN is 64026 and the order was placed on 10/14 after converting my original P85 order to the P85D. Confirmation was on 10/29 and my VIN was assigned on 11/4. I assume it will be built with...

I have a theory as to what is going on with the early build P85D cars. My theory: 1. Pre December cars were built with the "faulty" next gen seats, but not delivered to customers. 2. Tesla determined that there was a problem with the seat air bags and stopped the production line. 3. Tesla...
