To your point, Hybris, I am not coming from a performance car, and I most likely would have been perfectly happy with an 85... But then I *drove* the P85+ (big mistake but smart marketing) and then I spent a lot of time on this forum (perhaps another big mistake) and read how the majority of...

I tried North-up mode several times, and didn't see the spinning map in this mode. Unfortunately, the Menlo Park SC called and said that the problem seems to be with the physical gyro in the car, and that they have to replace the whole touchscreen. He said they had a "bad batch" of them...

My firmware is 1.35.106. I read that someone else had 1.35.107 already, and was not having the gps/spinning map problem, so perhaps they've fixed it, but I haven't gotten the update yet.

Like many of you, I scoured these forums for the weeks leading up to confirming my Tesla and while waiting for it to arrive, and I greatly appreciate all the time, energy, passion, and useful advice posted by so many of you. I thought it time to contribute my little bit. The most difficult...

Belated congrats Tex! We are P+ brothers - I got mine friday night, and just got back from driving it on a trip up the coast so haven't been keeping up. Probably not truly broken in till we get a ticket :-)

Just got the call that mine is ready several days early, so I get to pick it up at the factory tomorrow at noon. Just in time for a trip up the coast to Point Reyes, which my wife and I had already planned. Should be a great inaugural trip! Only trick is, I called the hotel, and no charge...

Tex does seem unusually fast. I ordered my p+ 5 days earlier than him, and am picking up sept 25. When I ordered in the store, they estimated September delivery, but then asked, "when do you want it?" And I stupidly replied "September is fine." My dashboard then listed delivery date as, "late...

What is considered an "obnoxious" font color? Do you mean any color at all, or just certain shades of pink? :-) i have color in my sig, but just to communicate the color of my car and interior, and the font size is very tiny. Can't imagine how it would detract from this forum.

Tex, wow, yours is literally just around the corner! Be sure to take a break from warp speed to snap some pics and give the rest of us some hope...

Wow, beautiful car - both of you - congratulations! Must be great to finally have it home.. I went with the blue as well - it's this unusual color that sometimes looks black, and then surprises you with a glint of deepest midnight blue. I went with the tan interior, but I bet the gray looks...

I tried to add the twin chargers two weeks after confirming (but before building) and my DS said no. Said they would have to "re-inventory" and start over. She also said I don't need the twin chargers (I can't use the hpwc at my house). There are whole threads discussing the usefulness of twin...

I suspect the initial email after you confirm always says "in production" (mine did too), but the *stage* of production for a number of weeks is "sourcing parts" (shown in your dashboard). My dashboard just switched from "sourcing" to "building" after 17 days, though I haven't received an email...

Yes! Mine just flipped to "production" status too, 3 days earlier than they predicted. Increases the chances they'll make the Sept 25 pick up date at the factory. P+, blue/tan/obeche, pano, parking sensors. Sleep anyone?

Cool, I'm also picking mine up on the 25th (at the factory in my case)! Mine also still says "sourcing parts." SO hard to wait! Least we have this forum to channel our anticipation in the meantime...

Lolachampcar did an informal survey about tire wear, and there seems to be a lot of variability. I wouldn't assume 5000, nor 20,000. For most with 21" wheels, the answer seems to be somewhere in between. Downside of the P+ is you can't rotate back to front, but the stiffer suspension might be...
