    Delivered Without Wiper Fluid

    I'm so glad I'm not the only one that did this :p Drove home in a rainstorm, tried to use the washers, and they never sprayed! Seriously? So I went to Autozone, picked up some washer fluid, and poured it in to find that it took less than a quart... Hmm. Tried again, and pushed harder this...

    Elon - what have you done for me lately? Autopilot is getting boring - what's next?

    It was in the D unveiling presentation (which can be found on Tesla's website under the Model S tab) EDIT: He did not specify that it was for current AP specifically, but he explained it as "It will..."

    Elon - what have you done for me lately? Autopilot is getting boring - what's next?

    I'd wager that the "Meet me" upgrade to Autopilot is the next upgrade for those with current Autopilot hardware. Elon talked about your car meeting you at a certain place and time by setting the calendar, such as meeting you at the front of your house when it's time to leave for work. That...

    Annual service price increased by 50%

    This is the correct answer for brake fluid specifically - brake fluid is hygroscopic (attracts moisture), and adding moisture to the mix lowers the boiling point of brake fluid significantly. This is significant because when compressible gas is introduced into a hydraulic system like vehicle...

    What was the point of making a Reservation?

    There has historically been priority put towards delivering Performance models from the release of the Model S. During the unveiling, Tesla didn't state that they were or were not going to do the same thing with the Model X - it seems that they have chosen to do so again. In both cases (Model S...

    New 19 inch wheels!

    Now that's a cool email to receive! The link works, but it just leads to the My Tesla page for whoever is logged in - so my Model S appears when I click it. Care to share the design in a photo? :biggrin:

    OMG! My Model S has shipped!

    You guys are pretty patient. My 85D shipped last week, an I've called my DS nearly daily, bothering him about something (usually "has the truck arrived yet?") So excited that delivery will be in the next 2 weeks!

    Optimum No Rinse (ONR) Convert

    I've used Optimum No-Rinse as a rinseless wash for the last 2 years on my last 2 cars, and will definitely continue to use it with the Tesla. Also love Power Clean as an all-purpose cleaner, and Opti-Bond, since it dries (it won't sling everywhere), and it has a nice satin finish - I don't like...

    2016's getting pushed back?

    The same thing happened to my page. It changed to "In Production" 2 days ago. I called my DES today, and they said that the late March-early April deadline is unlikely, and that barring any issues, my car should be at the Devon SC in early March! It's nearly time...

    State Rep Aaron Miller Introduces Bill to Allow Tesla to Operate in Michigan

    Interesting way to try to solve the problem. I don't think geographical limitations are the answer. The first problem being that in areas like Greater Detroit, dealerships are everywhere. To find a location at least 10 miles from every dealer, you'd end up in the middle of nowhere, not in a...

    2016's getting pushed back?

    Interesting. Today I had my order change from being confirmed today to being confirmed a week from now. I wonder why the push-back? Getting current confirmed order-holders in before adding to the queue? I even asked for the confirmation wait to be bypassed altogether, and got told that an...

    Hello from Athens, Georgia

    Welcome and Congratulations! Although Model S ownership may be coming around more quickly than expected due to the circumstances, I'm sure that you'll love the Tesla experience! Given the quick action, do you have home charging sorted out?

    Thanks, Joel! I look forward to meeting you in the future, which no doubt I will, if you're an active MI Tesla enthusiast. Congrats on the MX! I'd love to check it out sometime, I've only seen one being prepped for delivery from a distance. And your signature quote couldn't be more...

    Thanks! I've already seen that in action, both with my mother's car and since my test drive at the beginning of the year. The test car I drove was at 7.0, so I got to experience the wonders of Autopilot (and the new dash, though I'm partial to the previous non-AP one). Then by the time...

    Well, that's that. After going over the Inventory options that are readily available now, I placed my order last night for exactly the configuration up above, including UFHS and Sub-Zero. Now the excruciating wait begins! Time to go make a signature :smile:
