Hey Everyone, I feel like I've read enough threads about bars and cargo boxes, but at some point it all starts to bleed together. Today or tomorrow I'm planning on ordering a set of Whispbars from Tesla (any cheaper way to do it than ordering from Tesla?.... no store near me, so I'll be paying...

Looks like the Yakima SkyBox 16 is 60 pounds. So if the bar weight limit is 150 pounds, then that just leaves room for only 90 pounds of stuff. That doesn't seem like as much stuff as I was thinking.

Anyone know the weight load limit of the bars? Someone mentioned that being a limiting factor in an Amazon review I read of the Yakima 16 Skybox.

Same boat for me. Not complaining..... just letting people know they aren't alone. I have had wifi the last couple of nights and I'm trying my phone's hotspot for an hour this morning.

Still no update for me yet. No complaints.... just letting people know they aren't alone. One wifi for most of yesterday. Otherwise usually I'm just on LTE.

1) I find myself going out to the car at 10:30pm for some vague reason and sitting in it for 30-40min listening to music and messing around with the screen's menu. 2) My friends know that I'll drive them places if they need me because I just want to drive more. 3) Had a blast in 6 inches of...

I've got to make the decision in the next few weeks to either pre-pay for service or not. I'm also considering whether 4 years down the road I'll want to purchase the extended warranty and that's only available if I've done all 4 services, right? Anybody's thoughts on that?

What does AAA allow you to avoid?

Hey Everyone, I'm enjoying the pen that came with my Tesla, but I'd rather have blue ink. Anyone know what the pen refill name is? Thanks, Rob

When I drive 70-200 miles with a destination entered into Nav, I switch the Energy screen to "Trip" and that really taps into my competitive side. I find myself doing whatever I can to tie or beat the estimate for what percent of battery I'll have left when I reach my destination. I'll cut...

New Year's Eve. I can imagine some people leaving parties to see if they got the update. Ha, ha. Good luck to each of you. But remember not to ignore your date tonight......

Hey James, Are you saying just the front bumper? That's what I'm thinking bout doing. I got a quote of $450 for that. What about you?

Great. Thanks Carlos.

So Carlos, does the part that sticks out in your first picture always have to be there? Or only when you're planning to use the bike rack? Any thoughts on how much you think not having the cover will hurt you range-wise when not carrying bikes? Thanks, Rob

Thanks msnow. And is there a way online to increase the bit rate like the choice that you can't touch on the car's screen?

I've got a problem. I got my email/password from Tesla today and I *was* able to use that to log in to Slacker on my computer. But when I try to do the same from the car's screen, it just keeps spinning and never accepts the email/password. Assuming I punched in the correct email/password...

Hey, thanks sending a private message because I'm not checking this thread much anymore. I feel like now that I actually *have* the car I also suddenly have time for the things in my life I used to do a lot of before I became so obbessed with getting the car. Healthier for sure. A little more...

Selfishly, I mostly want one near Charleston, WV to open up the east/west corridor from Central Virginia to places like Indianapolis and St. Louis. Something about starting a trip out west by driving north through the D.C. area and into Pennsylvania seems counterintuitive (and it adds 2-3 hours...

Thanks nuixy.

Just to be clear, let me ask y'all this. I didn't do all the steps described here. Instead I just saved a playlist from iTunes from my Apple computer onto a USB flash drive that I formatted for Mac. Then I stuck the flash drive into my Tesla. The Tesla doesn't recognize the flash drive (when...

Only one issue for us on pickup. The front fascia had been scraped. I only noticed because I got my head all the way to the ground to figure out how to put the tow hook in since someone here had mentioned doing that before you really need it. The black plastic and some of the blue painted...

Did the 8.0 update with its music interface improvements make this type of extra work unnecessary now? I'm hoping to just copy playlists from iTunes onto my USB and plug 'er in.

Also, does anyone have a link to the best explanation of setting up a USB flash drive with songs from iTunes so that the drive works best in a Tesla?

Picking up our Model S tomorrow. I feel like I've seen a few different "check lists" to print out and bring to the pick up. Is there one that's better/more recent than others?

Filled up for my last time this Monday. I tweeted it with a pic of my hand sliding the credit card in for the last time. I'm pumped (completely intended pun)! Pickup my Model S in three days.

I guess I was assuming that if we already pay Spotify for Premium Service (or whatever it's called), then there'd be no additional fee. It'd just be like using it on your phone, computer, Xbox, etc. And the folks who don't want to pay could get the Spotify with advertisements. Am I off base?

Anyone have any more info on possible timeline for Spotify in US cars?

Ok, so I posted some pics I found online here: Need ideas for classy & secure outdoor wall charger install .

Probably a little more going on there than we need, but very cool for sure. Thanks

Very cool. It looks terrific, for sure. Is that a solar-powered light on the top? Please let me know (message me if you'd like) any other tips. Thanks.

This original post is from 6 months ago. Did you end up with a solution? Do you have any pics of it? I'd love to see some pics of other post ideas too. Looking to put one in within the next week or so. I did find a few......

Hey, I'm looking to mount a HPWC (now called "wall connector") onto a post in a mulch bed in the front of my house. It will face the street and I'd like it to look nice. My wife would *really* like it to look nice :p. I've seen plenty of commercial-grade metal posts, but I'm looking for...

Here's our local paper's take, but you can find other thoughts online: Tesla is eligible to operate its own dealership in Richmond area, DMV commissioner rules

Looks like our cars will be on the same train/truck to Tyson's Corner, VA :).

***Sorry if I put this in the wrong forum. Couldn't figure out the best spot for it.*** Hey, I have Nationwide Insurance for other cars, house, etc. If you've insured a Tesla through Nationwide, please answer these questions: 1) Did it take a while for Nationwide's system to recognize your...

Mine just finished production. Took a couple of days. Estimated delivery to Virginia is now Dec. 19th-Jan 2nd. And to make things even sweeter, our DMV commissioner just gave a very favorable ruling for Tesla vs. our state's auto dealer's so that it's more than likely we'll be getting a...

I just had same situation as you with MyTesla updating to "production," but no email. And we're both picking up in Virginia. Looks like a few of our cars will be on train/truck to Virginia together. Has your D.S. given you a more specific delivery date than the "December-late January" that...

Hey GatorP, I confirmed three days before you and I'm in Virginia. Originally MyTesla said "December-Early January" and then last week it pushed back to "Late December-January." It still hasn't entered production. Mine is a 90D.... not sure if that matters, but what's your car?

Sounds great Scot. Thanks for the update :).

Yeah WJ, that all makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to explain the details. I'm going to hope that it's the one bike and all of your liquids in conjunction with a super high outside temp that made the difference :). I won't be carrying any bikes on the back, but I do plan on getting an...

Hey Scot, Did you ever figure out the hum? Do you think it's just the way it is and you have to deal with it? Does it sound that way when a box is on the rack as well? What kind of a range hit have you been losing with a box installed? Thanks, Rob

Hey WJ, I lot to read there. Thanks. At first I thought you were saying the box is load (when I read the "eardrums" comment quickly on my phone). I even told my wife that you were saying it was really loud. But now I realize there are two problems: range hit & AC hit. So.... 1) How much...

Also, which of the Whispbar bars should I be ordering if I order off of Amazon? Ordering through Whispbar seems to make it more expensive than through Tesla because it requires buying addition "fit kit." So is $549 through Tesla really the best deal?

Terrific stuff from you guys. Very, very helpful. I remember originally reading this thread in the Spring when getting a Tesla was still a dream. Now I've got a Model S coming in a week or so and I found this thread again when searching "Whispbar." Pumped to see you guys are enjoying your...

A little bummed to see my estimated delivery on MyTesla change today from "December-early January" to "Late December-January." I get two weeks off around Christmas and was hoping to enjoy some drives. Ordered: Oct. 18th Confirmed: Oct. 25th Not in production yet Delivery: Washington, DC

Bummer. Sorry to read that.

I don't really know much about how they assign VIN's, but I was confirmed 9 days after you on Oct. 25th, but my VIN (170xxx) is much lower than yours. I wonder how that works? My expected delivery to Virginia has always said "December-Early January." Edit: Changed "Nov." to "Oct.". Thanks...

Your D.S. can email it to you.

How are you guys getting those date ranges? Is that an email/phone call with D.S. or is it showing up on "MyTesla?" I'm wondering because I ordered just a few days after you and MyTesla has never wavered from "December-Early January" with a Dec. 26th estimation on my Pro-Forma. I'm hoping you...
