You're absolutely right! Of course if you look at the MY, the exact same buttons are in the same place. One on the back of the seat, and one on the back of the hatchback. The hatchback one drops the seats - "at the press of a button". But no such luck on the MS. Well, it is of little...

Sorry, I misspoke. I meant to say floor mats (I edited it above)! As an update, I spoke to the manager of my service advisor in Dublin on the issues and he did a long double-speak about how is in charge but how he has now idea and needs to research and call me back in a day or so. Then I called...

Can you confirm if they are no longer offering floor mats as standard on the MS? That was another item listed as "Education". Edit to say "floor mats"

Does it seem reasonable for Tesla to charge me $105 to tell me that?

Can you please advise if I'm crazy? I picked up my Model S LR September 19th and did a opened a ticket a few hours later. The pickup was at the factory in Fremont, so it was hand's off with no-one to assist. I reported 10 total issues of which these three have had the most unsatisfactory remedy...

The FCW was probably because you did the right thing and hit the brakes, which of course switched the FCW to you. Go figure.

You obviously own more Tesla shares than I do! 😂

Nice work on this @GargantulaKon! I'm curious how you interpret the braking/deceleration number. If you're braking on a downgrade, my interpretation is that it is not tracking the actual g-force, but the deceleration MPH > 6.7/second. Like many others, I have a drive that involves a steep...

Hi @jebinc you can keep updated on this here or other similar sites. This one is nice because you can see what version was installed prior to the upgrade to answer your question. https://teslafi.com/firmware

What you're describing sounds like Tesla drivers turning into Prius drivers. Then it occurred to me... maybe Prius drivers drive the way they do because they're all testing FSD-like beta software and sworn under NDA not to talk about it. Genius! ;)

At least those 3 beavers look identical... lets hope the cars don't deviate inadvertently at quarter end! I'll know soon enough.

One other crazy note: Check out these factory pickup instructions (Wish me luck!): "DETAILS FOR PICK-UP DAY: You will receive a text message confirming your vehicle is ready anytime between 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM on your scheduled pick-up date. You will then have 24-hours to pick up your vehicle...

This moves fast at end of quarter at the factory! VIN yesterday evening, delivery set for Sunday, then this evening they say to be ready to come in Saturday (tomorrow)! Man... this is nuts! Don't wait for your financing at the end of the quarter!

I just got my VIN! 5YJSA1E5xMF44363x! My pickup is in Fremont, but not yet scheduled. I'm excited!

I am torn by the back and forth between the 19" and the 21" wheels. It almost feels like Tesla should make the 21" an option that could be selected when ordering. That certainly would satisfy people and end the endless debate on this subject. ;)
