    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Ordered my MS on 5/26 still no VIN assigned. Is this normal?

    Trade-in accident

    My soon to be trade-in Model X got rear ended. I‘ve ordered the new Model S and waiting on delivery. My MX will be in the shop for potentially few weeks. Am I right to assume the value Tesla offered me and I accepted prior to the accident is voided? Should I cancel my order?

    Software update 2020.48.26.x update, font size problems

    Reading fine fonts is not required for driving, and no one should have to use the readers to see an essential information like remaining range and gear selection

    Navigant: GM Cruise, Waymo Lead Tesla And Others On Full Autonomy

    Agree. Tesla haters (or paid by haters) need to drive a Tesla today to get a first hand experience on autonomous driving better than wasting time on power point presentations. No one outside of Mobileye employees has driven a car powered by their new system so until then no one knows how good it...

    X: What's your 90%?

    My 90% is 254 miles. My 100% is 281 miles. I have 42,000 miles on the car. This is a drop from 261 and 290 when I had 17,000 miles on it 18 months ago.

    Does smart preconditioning work?

    My wife had her MS 100D for 7 weeks now and she turned the smart preconditioning on since her schedule is fixed. The car doesn’t seem to learn her schedule (8-4 weekdays) yet and I wonder if we are missing something here. Thanks in advance.

    What happened to the Energy Saving option?

    Vampire drain was never an issue for me and I never paid attention to it especially with 100 kWh battery. The only time I turned the energy saving on was when I left my X at the airport for ten days, and it turned out that I didn’t have to.

    What happened to the Energy Saving option?

    My wife’s new Model S doesn’t have the Energy Saving with always connected option. It runs the same software (2018.48.12) as my 2017 Model X which has it. It takes forever to wake up the S from the app whereas it is instant with the X. Is there any work around to keep it connected?

    Thoughts about v9.0 Quick Controls screen

    Creep is what came to my mind and I remember playing with it for a while when I first got the car. But I can think of Chill mode, Range mode, FWD height, energy/distance display and Navigate on Autopilot settings to be frequently used and nice to have a shortcut for it.

    Thoughts about v9.0 Quick Controls screen

    Quick Controls screen is one of my favorite UI that came with v9.0. It would be great though if Tesla enables us to customize it and add options to the bottom of the screen below the screen brightness(see attached picture). I personally like to switch between day and night modes, some people...

    Software Update 2018.42.x

    I agree. I’m very impressed in the ability of NoA to navigate complex intersections. One example is going from I75 south to I94 east in Downtown Detroit. It is hidden behind a curve, the right lane becomes the I94 west only and the next lane continues south and I94 east ramp takes off from it...

    v9 Heated Steering Wheel WITHOUT turning A/C on!

    Agree. Volvo for example, when you press the seat icon a pop-up window appears and you can select the heated steering wheel as you can see in the picture. I hope Tesla updates their UI one day to include something similar because the way it is now is a bit retarded.

    Cadillac SuperCruise Tops Tesla in Consumer Reports' Test

    Supercruise is only available at some freeways. The nearest freeways to GM tech center are I-696 and I-75 and both are under construction so they are unavailable for SuperCruise and will be unavailable after the construction is finished since GM will have to get out and re-map them again and...
