CRAZY! Just noticed

Yes

The bigger question is where the service center will be. Maybe that’s hanging up the SC location

You would think they’d have a team of people on this as it could add substantially to demand and cut service costs for them and make existing MI customers happy. I didn’t renew my MS lease for this reason.

That is what I’m waiting for. Hopefully in Novi area. Then back to MS

I didn’t search the whole thread but it would seem we need to get more mainstream exposure. If you google the hashtags, the iPhone is most prominent. Googling in general doesn’t show much, on first few pages anyway. (Except for this thread if you get specific). Am I missing something? I’m...

Won’t fit in garage. Probably back to S in a year or so - and it holds more cargo than most trucks.

Same here on IOS.

Any updates?

2016 85D. 17,700 miles. Range charge ~20 times. Lots of supercharging. 90% = 246 miles. 247 new. 100% = 272 miles. 273 new.

Commonly roll into SC with under 20 miles. I mostly do this is summer months where range is much more predictable. Watch the percentage estimate and try to hold that constant on long legs. I use app called inRoute to judge terrain on a particular leg. Elevation kills battery so add buffer in...

Fully agree. The whole chassis is essentially emmersed and future corrosion problems will arise. Most ICE ingest water into the intake - crippling the engine. EV don't have this problem. But, if for some reason you stop in the puddle, water will enter the cabin then you're toast.

Funny I'm seeing this thread. Recently noticed the same exact thing. 2016 85D. Also thought it was battery cooling, but turn AC off and noise is gone. But the variable is it's getting hot out! 95f every day. So, it's loud and sometimes a bother, but the AC works great! The other variable...

If you can, lease it. Three years with monthly well below $1k/month. Future proof. The math roughly equals ownership for six years and you get the next S when you may be able to buy. That's what I did. If you can afford, get AP and UHFS.
