    Anyone have a delivery estimate for a P100D?

    My P100D was ready for pickup yesterday. ~1 month from ordering to delivery. Can't pick it up until next week though because of my schedule and they can't deliver it. Trade in of my P85D ($50k of depreciation in 18 months/15k miles), has to be dropped off by me at the service center (3...

    Anyone have a delivery estimate for a P100D?

    Ordered a couple weeks ago. Production finished last Friday. In transit now. Expected delivery Sept 16-23.

    Systems are powering up

    Same happened to me a few weeks ago. Couple days later the dashboard said to replace the 12v battery. Service center replaced the battery and things have gone back to normal. I'd guess that's the problem and not a bug in the software (don't worry, there are 800 other software bugs to blame...

    Tesla Priorities: Refine Autopilot or Fix Everything Else?

    Being a qualified visionary with disruptive ideas isn't the sole prerequisite for running a successful company longterm. So, while you may think nobody is worthy of questioning the Almighty Musk, you've gotta realize there are likely many business savvy customers (some who also built billion...

    Tesla Priorities: Refine Autopilot or Fix Everything Else?

    Can't speak on the model s drive units, but aside from that the Model X is an incomplete product that was rushed out the door, and the autopilot was a year late without telling its customers who paid for it a year earlier (myself included). Another botched roll out. I understand what...

    Tesla Priorities: Refine Autopilot or Fix Everything Else?

    Glad to finally see a thread on this site that doesn't crucify somebody for voicing their frustrations with this company. I've stayed off the boards for a few months because of it. Ampd nailed it in his opening post. Musk isn't a CEO, he's a lead engineer. My view, in three years when there...

    "Chunking" When Wheels Turned In Reverse - Most of the Time

    Yup - I have the same issue. Have had it for about a year now. Almost embarrassing when you combine it with my chronic squeaky brakes they refuse to replace. Also makes the chunk noise as I get out of my driveway off a 1 inch ledge. Sounds horrible.

    Someone had to do it... (Autopilot stunt)

    What the heck is everybody complaining about?? Tesla has publicly said many times they will be releasing the ability for you to summon your car on private property. And they have released videos of the car driving itself already. Everybody needs to chill. Keep these vids coming WK. I say...

    Firmware 7.0

    Coiled - I'm with ya. The speed indicator is now hidden behind the top of the steering wheel. I too had to shift the wheel position up so I could see how fast I'm going. Same with when I'm shifting into drive, that is now hidden by the right part of the wheel. Super annoying. Personally...

    Firmware 7.0

    I took this thing out for a few hours tonight and was gunna post a reaction, but everything has been said. I DO have to say one thing though after reading these comments. And just for the record, I'm normal 30 year old guy who has the highest kWh/mi average that I've heard of (pretty...

    EM confirms autopilot hardware on X and S are the same

    The software is the same too. Non-existent.

    Reactions to Model X reveal event

    According to his posts, his intent is now to spend $140,000 on the P90D instead of the X. I'm a guy who is annoyingly supportive of Tesla and the products they make, as I'm sure many people here are. Having said that, I'm genuinely interested in hearing all reactions to the X roll out, both...

    Reactions to Model X reveal event

    "Blindly" putting money down.. Did you have a sneak peak of the final product before the rest of us? Didn't think so. "Abhors" is a strong word (also a word I just googled). I said the doors are ridiculous... As in ridiculously uneccesary. Buying a ridiculous bottle of wine for $300...

    Reactions to Model X reveal event

    I put a reservation down under the assumption that the actual car would be much better than the prototype, as advertised. But, the actual car was the prototype. Let's be real, the fact Air filters and docking stations made it into the features roll out was pretty telling. No mention of...

    Reactions to Model X reveal event

    interesting reactions on this thread. When the livestream ended last night I closed my laptop and said to myself "what the hell was that??" Concerning the delayed start - nothing new here. I've accepted a long time ago their PR / marketing team is among the most incompetent of any public...
