    Florida HOV Sticker Question

    My MS was delivered about two months ago, and I went through all the headaches of getting both the HOV sticker from the DMV and the 95 Express sticker from South Florida commuter services. I know the 95 Express one needs to be renewed separately, but what about the HOV sticker? Do you...

    Some iPhone Contacts Not Loading

    It doesn't look like anyone has raised this issue in last year or two. Has anyone experienced a problem of the car only downloading some contacts from an iPhone? Mine only transfers the contacts with last names from A through the beginning of N. I had read somewhere that the car is capped at...

    E-Pass users in Florida

    I just picked mine up a few weeks ago. According to the folks at the service center, the new windshield started around Thanksgiving of 2016. I don't use a radar detector... I can't think of many times during my 15 years in Miami when there's been light enough traffic to speed. :)

    E-Pass users in Florida

    I can confirm what I reported hearing from my DS on another thread a couple of months ago: new Teslas no longer have an issue with transponders on the windshield. I have my SunPass portable (the suction cup one) to the left of the rear-view mirror and it registers perfectly every time. I also...

    Definitive S Refresh Front Plate Bracket Removal

    Another big +1 for this thread. Removed my front plate holder in 10 minutes as if it were never there. I used the $4 plastic adapter at Tesla License Plate Socket Adapter by SlippinJimmie on Shapeways on a standard Allen wrench to loosen the star screws and then finish them by hand. Used a...

    Autopilot for HW2 rolling out to all HW2 cars today!

    Picked up my S60 today and it's 17.5.36. Still calibrating cameras, so no TACC or Autosteer... drove about 30 miles from service center to house and then to office.

    My Tesla shows car in production. No email received. Timing for delivery?

    My "My Tesla" page always updated more quickly than the emails from Tesla would indicate, and I don't think I received any automated emails after it started production. My DS is amazing, though, and often updated me a day or two before the My Tesla page updated. I'm scheduled to pick up my S60...

    Financing - non-Alliant options?

    Sorry... 72 months, 10 percent down. #RockStarCreditRating

    Financing - non-Alliant options?

    I received 1.99 from TD Bank via Tesla just yesterday for delivery next week.

    My Tesla shows car in production. No email received. Timing for delivery?

    For what it's worth, I ordered on Dec. 19, and mine hasn't entered production yet. My official window is "late February-March," and my DS thinks it will probably be built this week and delivered the week of Feb. 27, maybe a hair sooner.

    My Tesla shows car in production. No email received. Timing for delivery?

    There's a great Google spreadsheet maintained by the community that has all this information. You can add your own data point, and there's also a tab that calculates averages and estimates. For domestic delivery, the average is 3.81 days from production beginning to ending, and then 9.73 days...

    MS Refresh/Removed Front Plate/E-ZPass & Sunpass

    My understanding is that the MS manufactured before fall 2016 required this kind of acrobatics... there was a smallish rectangle of windshield that was "clear" for RFID signals. But the folks at my Tesla shop said it will now work anywhere on windshield. Again, I can't personally vouch for this...

    MS Refresh/Removed Front Plate/E-ZPass & Sunpass

    My MS60 hasn't been delivered yet, but my conversations with my DS and with the SunPass folks suggest that the only solutions for the new design are: 1. Use a permanent SunPass sticker RFID transponder (which is, by far, the most common version now) and block with a steel plate that SunPass...

    Phone Connecting to Model S

    Glad to hear it! It has some other little features I like, too, like being able to play certain podcasts at different speeds (I like most at 1.5x, but not ones that are about music, since it obviously messes up the music) and a little feature that cuts out dead air time. The developer is...

    Phone Connecting to Model S

    My Tesla hasn't been delivered yet, so I have no idea how this will work, but I've used Overcast for podcasts for years. It also integrates into the native iPhone lock screen so you can use the basic controls without unlocking the phone. The developer has been on top of iOS updates for years...
