guys - I think I have good news for all of you - let's hope this IS the case. If so, Tesla is working on a permanent fix. and for now, they have given my less than 2month old car a fix that seems to be working. It has to do with the front bumper air dam area and wind. At certain high speeds...

This is bay area, California. Typical morning commute on highway 101 (speed varies between 15 and 55mph). The last 15miles were all on a near straight line with minimal elevation changes, occasional stops due to bumper to bumper traffic. Morning weather was 55F. Autopilot perhaps 90% of that...

If you would like to add more data points to the informative battery table: MS75D, built 09/2016. Delivery 10/2016 from Fremont factory. VIN 160XXX. Battery part# 1088794-00-A (75KWH, 350VDC). Miles on car when I picked it up: 9. thanks PN

I really doubt what you say: fully autonomy is easier for engineers...I have had discussions with some folks about how challenging it can get when it comes to making decisions that go beyond simpler issues like traffic on the road. e.g., things that are more about emotional intelligence. e.g. a...

I am amazed at the outpour of responses. One thing I learnt in the process is that not only am I not alone, but that some in this group perhaps learnt it already a few times - so they are either sympathizing (thanks @Garlan Garner ), or, irritated (responses like seen it too many times). I can...

I am thrilled to see the progress Tesla is making on the new Model S/X/3 towards full autonomous vehicles. I am very disheartened that I bought (not leased, as I think Model S is a car worth 10yr of supremely enjoyable ownership) a $90K Model S brand new from your factory on Tuesday (18th Oct)...

Full front with Suntek, and all windows tinting with Suntek Ceramic, all for $1,500 out the door. Haven't seen it in action yet - another 4-5hrs. Message me and I can share the contact (after I like what I see).

it sucks! but I am weighing in on the whole thing: (1) I am not alone in this. A whole bunch of us are feeling that we got left out. (2) didn't see any plans from Tesla to retrofit at least the NVidia h/w into gen-1 AP cars to utilize existing 1-camera, 1-radar and the ultrasonic sensors but...

nope, single camera (well if you count the backup camera, we all got 2 cameras :-)).

Musk cannot really oversell Model 3 without also enticing S/X owners to buy today. Out of the 350K pre-orders, I am sure a 100K+ are current Tesla owners (what's in an extra $1K pre-order while X/S sales tax itself would be 6-8X more). His job to would be to bring in current model-3 waiters to...

today's announcement might have to do with a Performance 75 version, so sports car enthusiasts can be drawn into a 0-60 in less than 3 seconds, without touching a $120K+ ticket. Currently 75Kwh battery cars top out at 0-60 of 5.2seconds. There is market for a $80K electric car that can do 0-60...

Yes 85 has my vote. Range anxiety - while not an issue on any Tesla today - every few extra miles (the new green) on your dashboard - will keep you looking younger.

Good point. I have the app now and see that it is still on the parking lot, not "in" shop yet. So will likely be done this aft and stay. I have recorded miles! @ecarfan : so true! Quotes from my 10yr old from the backseat "we are not in 2016 anymore, but in 2106", and another one..."Dad! Don't...

I haven't stopped smiling since wife and I went for the delivery at the factory yesterday afternoon and drove off with our S75D White with Black Next-Gen/AP/SZ/Pano (owned a BMW 5-series for lat 7yrs). Wife said hasn't seen me this happy since our wedding (lol - that was 17yrs ago). Dropped it...

where do you see these codes?

nice. What is your VIN's last #s? Mine is 160XXX, picking it up tomorrow as well. good luck - let's hope our cars have the "new" sensors, or, at least, potentially the new NVidia processors!

I know - I should learn to never trust Musk's delivery timelines.... On the main topic, what does this code mean and how to find it? Also @Jonas_man, when was your car built?

Crap - I was delaying picking up my September built car for Tuesday after Tesla monday announcement. And now, Tesla delays to Wed. Will try and delay till Thu now if I could!

when was your car built Jonas_man? I am picking up my car on Tuesday (delayed to listen to Monday announcement :-!!).

if AP2.0 doesn't get announced soon, more folks will delay ordering their Model S/X this quarter. It is a pressure they have to release.

Only 4 to 5 women in our circle that have test driven the X - pulled by the desire to own electric-SUV but a bit disappointed in the end. One item they all agreed to is that, when things are quiet in the car (like after dropping kids in school), they can relax and enjoy the gorgeous car, with...

I think the X60D disappearing has something to do with Oct 17th unveiling. How about a specially designed X2, with 60D, for the masses. Make it a truly practical vehicle for the soccer moms! 200mile range would still be sufficient, but it needs to be "simple", not fancy. This will get many of...

thats cool. When I get the car, I will get to know my range in "torque sleep" mode.

Taking that further, how about "mobile superchargers" that are outfitted to the AAA tow-trucks. So now, anyone stranded with a zero charge, can get on-road help. "The supercharger will come to you". It takes longer for a tow-truck to fix a flat than to give a 20-min "fill" to get to next...

Back in 2014, when AP1.0 was announced, the vision was painted as... "The Autopilot hardware opens up some exciting long term possibilities. Imagine having your car check your calendar in the morning (a feature introduced in Software v6.0), calculate travel time to your first appointment based...

The AP1.0 was announced in early Oct 2014. This is the two-yr anniversary. 2yrs is eternity in the world of EM. So AP2.0 would be my bet. MobileEye divorce must have impacted the roll-out of dual-camera (based on casing/findings, one cam for each lane/side dedicated, like in some other cars...

I searched and couldn't find a thread on this. Wondering if Tesla could introduce a "low power" mode, that could use lower torqued front motors of the "D" cars to get a longer range? Perhaps a 20% or even 30% longer range? May be when Model-3s are announced, the Model S "D" cars could get a...

apologies...more threads on that already than what I initial search found...killing this one.. those who landed here and want the real one... Unveiling on Oct 17th

Musk's tweet yesterday about a new Tesla product announcement on the 17th (coming Monday). Any guesses what it could be? More here: Musk teases ‘unexpected’ new Tesla product with cryptic tweet Some say Roadster 2.0, others: the new AP2.0...Anyone has any clues? cheers PN

i am really hoping the rear cup holders and the AP2.0 h/w were put into production at the same time. LOL.

Ok, I got confirmed by my OA (he is great BTW, keeps responding to my emails quite promptly) that my car has the rear cup holders and USBs. It was built in September, and delivery in a week from now. Yay!

Waiting for my delivery of S75D, in-transit. The rear cupholders/USB-ports - is that only installed with the premium upgrades option, or, standard feature on Model S? Looks like production completion date was 9/19.

Guys - any update on this thread? I am thinking of picking up a car from inventory soon, and not sure how to go a out checking wither AP2.0 related h/w (or at least wiring) is pre-installed.

great input from all - seeing the swing in options, thoughts and risks, I am getting wiser. Also, in the last week, reading up about AP2.0 and other enhancements that may require an "upgrade" to h/w (read that as trade-in), looks like a longer term ownership planning (owning for 6-8yrs) is less...

Alright, I need some help here...I would like to know if I am going ahead of myself by considering to buy the Model X (say a $100K tag car). I could buy it with cash if I like, tomorrow, but what % of your worth would you put into a car? Knowing that in about 8yrs, it would be all gone. Sorry...
