+1 : Two along I-25 between Albuquerque & Denver will enable trips to my nearest service center! I'm one of the 1% farther than 100 miles from the closest one. But my guess is we'll first see I-40 from Barstow to Flagstaff & I-17 from there to Phoenix (see my post above). A few more along I-40...

The installation guys just hooked up their test (REC) meter, and showed me my normal meter going backwards, and not slowly, either. Woohoo! Now to wait for the building inspector & power company inspector to put their stamp of approval on it & install the real REC meter. Then we'll see how close...

Yep. Here's my detailed post.

+1 I bet they stage in the entire thing: I-40 all the way from Barstow to Raleigh and connect to I-95. Surely soon we'll hear about Superchargers on I-10 from LA to Phoenix, I-17 from Phoenix to Flagstaff, and I-40 from Flagstaff to Barstow. That would enable a lot of travel. Kingman is a...

I'm not sure why the original Pre-MVPA showed 4% tax, as it appears that the correct (estimated) tax on a vehicle in Denver County is 7.62%. See here.

Bravo on the original idea. I hadn't heard this one yet.

Looks like the new v1.1 app, at least on iOS, does not like passwords that contain certain characters. I updated the app on my iPhone, and it wouldn't let me log in (I don't yet have a vehicle linked to my account, but am obsessively checking the app for my VIN). On my iPad, where I hadn't...

These: And license plate: PHRESH

Why yes, yes it is.

Here it is: For a sense of scale, each panel is just over 1m x 1.5m. Not everything is hooked up yet, but it won't look much different when it's done (other than the trench being filled in). Note the "hole" in the bottom left corner is because our power company considers anything over...

Your S heard you talking to your wife about issues, and tried to curb it. I, for one, welcome our new sentient robot automobile overlords!

Exit light. Enter night. Take my hand. We're off to never-never land. Rock on, James.

Excellent interview.

Yeah, aren't they worried about that POS leaking oil all over the pristine floor? :tongue:

Saw a white S with 21" silver wheels tonight around 6:30, northbound on Rio Grande just before I-40. Is the driver a member here?

I also used to love the turbo spool sound in my Nissan 300ZX. It wasn't very evident in my BMW 335i. I gladly await hearing the "warp whine" in my S. Is the regen sound the EV equivalent of the "sneeze" of blow-off valves releasing pressure, just not nearly as wasteful? Or is that...

Thanks Bonnie & AP. Al Gore did invent Tha Intarwebs! Well, at least, he made sure the funding happened. Thanks Unca Al!

Thanks for the information, Bonnie. Mea culpa for not doing any research. That case is bandied about as frivolous, but with this information, I agree it's not.

There are no words to describe how ultimately bad a$$ Weird Al is. And he's right. It's too litigious out there. And I live where a woman sued McDonald's because she spilled hot coffee in her lap.

Hmm. If the reason is a production change for required hardware, and that change happened around VIN 542x, and since a previous post from you says your VIN was prior to that, you might, might be lucky. And today is the luckiest day of the year, what with all the four-leafed clovers. You should...

Congrats! Enjoy!

Amanda Tapping, Actress, Director, Producer, has a blue S: Twitter / amandatapping: Voila le Tesla!! Totally ... TM retweeted this recently.

I'm pretty sure that was "sleep mode", removed in 4.2. The screen shot was from the 4.0 manual. My Tesla page doesn't currently show me links to the manuals, so I don't know if they updated them yet. (I sent an email to them about these links this morning.)

Maybe that's metric, like the rest of your display? :tongue:

You're not kidding! I just went back out to the garage, and the funk is evident. I hung them up to see if that will help. The radiant heat furnace is in the garage, unfortunately near the entry to the house, so the mats are hung on far end. But the garage should be between 40°F & 75°F the next...

Nice! Are you going to CNC these out of something, create an injection mold, or 3D print them? Or maybe you could sell the rights to Tesla & put your name on the patent?

FedEx just delivered the Lloyd's Mats I ordered: Luxe for front & rear, RubberTite for frunk & footwell. The footwell mat was only $60 from AutoAnything.com. The Tesla branded ones will probably hold more mud/water/goop, as the RubberTite ones don't have a lip around the edge. These RubberTite...

Shiny! I'll be in my bunk. :wink:

Aren't "walk-away door lock" and "auto-present handles" also tied to the tech package? Those are in the screenshot above. Here's what the manual for 4.0 shows: Time to call service?

Yep. That's where it was. That's likely how it went. But I wonder why they left the "#0" in there at all. Maybe for reservations outside of North America?

Once you get your countersigned Pre-Delivery MVPA, you'll get an email with the subject, "Your Model S order is complete". That email might have the reservation number at the very bottom, if they haven't changed it recently.

Installation of our 9.6kW ground-mounted PV system (30 SunPower 320 panels) started yesterday. It's currently just 16 steel pipes in holes, sistered up for the county building inspector who came by today to ensure the holes were deep enough. Seriously. Tomorrow they'll pour concrete to set...

Heat pump - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

From the release notes image in the above post, if you plug in within 6 hours of the start time, it will start charging. If you plug in more than six hours after the start time, it will wait for the next start time. RTFM :wink:

Looks like 4.3 is rolling out now. See this post.

carrerascott, where was the second key? Might it have accidentally been in the car?

Excellent post, Al, especially the quotation above.

Does anyone else reading this thread think of Oregon Trail? If I try to ford the river, I will die of dysentery. Seriously, in any car, you should never try to cross standing, let alone running, water, unless you know exactly how deep it is. Or your car will have flood damage. And that's no fun.

Congrats Al! Yep, I think your turn signal issue might be related to the issue described in this thread. Or, try rebooting the instrument cluster?

Mmmmm bacon! Great job decoding this!

Instant Classic!

What about a two-letter country code TLD? Lots of shorteners to use there. Also, perhaps moving the apostrophe onto the letter S makes it an outlined number 5?

Is it just me, or does this look like a prototype Mr. Fusion? It's actually Nasa's SAGE III http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_2465.html

We call that an alternator. Google translate says the same. :wink:

I also like the dark plastic ones. The shiny ones look out of place to me. I'll be happy with either, though.

I second the above.

Did you reset both the 17" touchscreen & the Instrument Panel (behind the steering wheel)?

Can anyone verify that option_code "CH01" means the car has rear-facing jump seats? What about CH00, is that just the inverse? I see PureAmps posted CH00 and ClaytonTMC posted CH01. If you have access to your CH code, please let me know whether you have rear-facing jump seats (or ordered them...

Permission to use?

If only my S would get here, so I could drive it around while waiting for the next clue. Was it kernel panic in the shared library with the named pipe? Or Colonel Sanders in the kitchen with the drumstick?
