bump. MS 21in silver Arachnids are still to be ordered - so I can request to be shipped to your closest SC. If they are nice, they can even install them on your car. The referral package includes staggered wheels, tires, TPMS sensors. Let me know if you are in local san francisco bay area -...

I have a Sept 2016 build MS75D/AP1. Never seen the rear seat belt warning....

slightly off topic, sorry for that OP. How much at Tesla SC to get the 4 tires purchased/mounted/installed/balanced?

it was locked and for the first 4 days of our vacation, car was completely quiet. I could trace back and hear the sounds start on April 5th - after what looked like a start of charging (to top off). I had the battery set to 50% charge (during the vacation days).

car was garaged and temp remained between 55-65 (northern california mild weather). I have the cabin overheat protection OFF. And, the noise was from front of the car - I am assuming the fan was for cooling the battery coolants (which is somehow tied to the AC too)?

use your 0-60 to speed past them (let her wonder - why haven't they bought one yet??) and u-turn on front of them into your driveway to show off your shiny new wax

We came back from spring break to notice our plugged-in MS75D's fans were ON (loud noise that you cannot help but notice). Wife and I both were worried how long had it been on - I said it must have been for a short while because a plugged in Tesla is a happy Tesla - so it works to keep the...

I see (I work off Sunnyvale/101/Mathilda - but not Apple). If he wasn't even planning to take 85-S ramp on the left, quite bizarre for car with AP-ON to veer so much to the left! Those two solid white lines even though are apart and getting wider, without putting indicator, I have never...

haven't been able to read all the previous posts, but after reading more about the victim in other articles, to me, it looks like he was going to apple HQ by taking the 85-S ramp on the left, from 101-S. So two things: (1) he was on the correct lane (85-S ramp lane) and somehow the X veered to...

I haven't read anywhere that the injuries sustained by the driver were burn injuries. What I understood is that, a good samaritan (or two) stopped and pulled the guy out of the car BEFORE it caught fire. They couldn't have really pulled him out if car was already on fire...

Thank you @Joelc for posting your dashcam video. Very sad to see those barriers were not reset :=(. A life could have been saved!! Anything revealed on the driver? Was he a TMC member?

from this rear pic that @TEG posted, looks like a MX 100D, so more modules/denser pack structure.

Check out this short video. Anoushah Rasta on Twitter, starting 26 seconds, you can see individual 18650 cells, and the battery compartment shell structure exposed. Main battery fire quite likely - from the information so far, the front divider/median was hit by the car and enough intrusion and...

@gork , @DukeofURL , thank you guys for reading this thread and providing insightful info. It looks like even though I am running this raffle myself, and nothing to do with Vibha, at the minimum there is tax implication for the winner - and that varies from state to state. Also, I might have...

I have thinkview 770 dual 1080p and love it. Press the Wi-Fi button, then connect the mobile app to the 770, and then from the app you can see live view as well as recorded videos without downloading them. App gives you option to download/export etc. Blackvue “round” housing is more stealth -...

Two diff things. Uncorked - Tesla pushed OTA update to increase 0-60 for MS75D cars by a second. HEPA filter upgrade - facelift MS cars have all the provision to add factory or 3rd party HEPA filters for the cabin air. I did the mod myself based on excellent posts in this great forum. $150 for...

Albert - it is good to be realistic and grounded. Thank you for posting an honest thought in a public forum. Someone shared a spreadsheet in this forum a while ago. A Tesla MS/MX at $70-80k is like buying a gas car at $50k - if you intend to keep the car for 10yrs. The gas savings alone would...

I won’t know the delivery time until I put the order. And I would rather out the order with the new owner’s SC location. I believe the going price is around 3k-3.5k. Let me know / PM me.

sorry to hear about your ordeal - two times indeed sucks!! Hope this time it is faster! Glad no one was hurt. My windows were smashed (theft) and I feel the pain to give the car 9-days to repair those!!

I may be able to ask Tesla to deliver them to your closest SC. I haven't ordered them yet. The 21in wheels + new tires + TPMS all come together in the referral award. Let me know if you are interested, and your price. I am in San Jose, California. Cheers

Try this for the system to do a full shut down and reboot...Tesla technician over phone asked me to do this once - this is a more compehensive shutdown than the mcu reboots done with scroll wheels... Go to settings and look for the button ‘turn car off’. Press the button and do not do anything...

Pressing both steering scroll wheels simultaneously for about 5-8 seconds reboots the main entertainment screen. Pressing both the lower steering wheel buttons (below the scroll wheels) reboots the driver dashboard...

Anyone wants my MS? Convince me to sell my 2016 facelift (Sept 2016 build, 160XXX) MS 75D. Uncorked. 22K miles. California car - never seen snow or extreme cold. Ultra white with black leather interior. 80% charge shows 200miles (250mile at 100% SOC). Have supercharged perhaps 8-10 times total...

Model 3 LR: $44K for 310miles of range. Additional $5K for autopilot, and $5K for premium upgrades. BMW i3 $44K for 115mile range. ~$52K with various upgrades & ACC stop&go (TACC type) function. Model 3 SR: $35K with 215mile range. before other options. i3 has to drop in price to stay in the...

All, need some help on a good thought I have in mind - before I change my mind :). I am getting the arachnid wheels due to 3 referrals. I didn't have to do much - the car is that good. So what Tesla is giving me as a thank you, I want to pay it forward. I am getting trained to run a marathon...

to add to it, my daughter is used to the door handle popping out (from our MS). So I guess she was expecting somehow by touching/gentling pushing, may be a part of the handle would present itself :).

Just thought it would be funny to take a video. She got the demonstration once, and then tried it. She is 9yr old and a leftie. Using right hand for the passenger side door was a bit challenging. I think she would prefer using the driver side rear door when we get our M3.

I agree. It looked like the car hit something that is 2feet wide like pole, but something that wasn't connected to ground...so glad the people in the model3 were safe - gives us all a great feeling. Hope no one in that other car (or object) were seriously affected.

Satin black would get my vote. Tesla Gray would be 2nd choice. Both should be satin for me, not gloss and not matte.

Great pictures @bishoppeak. Can I get a lateral picture to see whether the lips stick out, sane Q for the spokes/spider legs?

you are killing me with that dangling carrot. I KNOW i will love them. that is the problem - lol.

sweet sweet pictures guys - thanks for sharing. I am so split between selling the arachnids (ready for ordering), and keeping them. Ah - someone take them from me (offer me close to $4K and stop my painful condition :)). I had just got satin-black power coated slipstreams when my 3rd referral...

Mine are ready to be delivered to a SC of choice. Let me know if you want my 21in. PM me. Cheers.

Yes. That vandalism was back in August. Then, in October, I was contacted by Homeland Security (SFO airport) as they apprehended a bunch of laptop heading to Vietnam. They opened the laptops and found my info (office sticker at bottom and name on login screen - so answers ur Q the laptop was not...

@cwerdna thanks for posting this!! I do have a story that matches this. I got my laptop back from the cops as they were recovering many laptops on their way to Vietnam. So glad they caught some guys, and are on their way to catch more. I do know multiple PDs were involved. Yes, I can confirm...

New (not yet picked up from Tesla) set of 4 staggered silver arachnids (forged) 21-in wheels for Tesla Model S cars. Prefer to deal locally so I can hand over the wheels (or hopefully get Tesla SC to install them on your car while we wait) at the SC. I am getting them as part of the referral...

Any insightful guesses? We are on hold waiting for the "early 2018" availability of the standard battery Model3. If we could get that car and also get the full federal credit (7.5K), that would be ideal. Also, any guesses when the 200K federal limit be reached? Q2? cheers

Taking this topic further, many times, perhaps the fully trained and aware autoPilot users that may become overconfident of AP abilities (yeh! I know how it works...) after 1000s of successful AP driving miles that they might momentarily lapse in their concentration - and if luck would have it...

OP, the folks you are asking this Q to, are true Tesla fans. They are not common people. Like you though, I am in support of making the car work for the "normal" people :). M3 will have many of those that will never visit any forum, and I can bet, will not read the manual (except in a DMV ticket...

Great insights / readings, thanks. Also many speculations. For one, if there were any casualties (either in car or outside), just imagine how much worse the situation would have been for all sides? Tesla at minimum needs to have the tesla black box store the “video” from the camera(s) leading...

I bought my MS in Sep/Oct 2016, and had put M3 deposit on 3/31/16. And I got into the December 2017 M3 invite list. Just FYI.

Don't wait for email. Login to your Tesla owners page. Many, including myself, discovered that while I never got an email from Tesla, the model3 was ready for me to configure....

on closer look of this video, it does look like quite a bad collision...

After much discussion with my colleague and letting him test-drive my MS, he went and bought a BMW 530E (plug-in) on Dec 31st, to get the best deal. For him, $90K vs. $50K was the decider. So I test drove his new 2018 5-series plug-in, and felt so bad for him. The whole car has become a boat -...

Lets hope we can hear from the driver. Who knows he/she might be a regular here? with all the chrome delete, blacked out Tesla, I would think that person would be at least semi-regular in TMC. Mistakes happen to all - glad no one got hurt. Tell us your side of the story buddy!

Yea - tough choices. But I can tell you that, I picked up one of the last AP1.0 cars, and was miserable when AP2.0 8-camera system was all the glamor. But then for the next 12months, I was seriously enjoying my stable AP1.0, where-as, the new AP2.0 owners were waiting for updates and...

@Max* , two separate incidents (one Telsa driver with 2Xalcohol limit arrested as he passed away and his tesla stopped middle of bay bridge - no crash", and this one - also 2X the alcohol limit? looks to be a day-time crash per photos. I have doubts the two stories got mixed up? Agree with...

:=). Since when have women given up control? As a product manager, I do get these conflicting options all the time - "keep it simple stupid", "do not dilute brand or value by discounting", "upsell". Given that Tesla has no reason to give anything away - 400K people salivating and waiting, they...

I have enjoyed TACC feature in my Tesla Model S for a long time.My wife is not ready to give up the steering wheel control to anyone yet while she is driving, but totally appreciates the automatic braking, and maintaining distance while she holds on to the steering wheel. While ModelS owners are...
