    Jaguar is getting in on the EV game...

    Looks like Jaguar will be competing against the Model 3 with their upcoming I-Pace release in 2018. I'm glad other manufacturers are starting to take the EV market more seriously. Not a bad looking car, although it has many similarities to Tesla's design. What is it they say about...

    AP2 Autopark Video

    Definitely impressed, especially with the first example. Both cars on either end were over the line, and the Model S, which is definitely not a small car, fit in nicely without a hitch. Pretty cool. :cool:

    Has anyone received a 100D?

    This was posted on the Colorado Springs Electric Vehicle Club's website on February 8, 2017. That is the delivery bay at the Denver Service Center. Lucky bum!

    Blackvue DR650GW-2CH Install

    Since you have a sunroof, you can run the rear camera's coax along the front and side of your sunroof. Just make sure you run it far enough in so that it does not interfere with the sunroof track. This should not interfere with the airbag. Also, since I hate to solder, I left the straight...

    Lets see your garage!

    Looks awesome! Let us know how they hold up to the slush/snow/sand/salt during the winter. I would love to do this to my garage.

    I'm in! CPO P85D Reserved...

    Congrats and welcome to the family! It's always great to find another Colorado EV owner! Like @DarkMatter mentioned, they should come with everything you need to get started, but I would definitely make a point to check before delivery. Don't forget to check out the Denver Tesla Club or the...

    High-Five to the 2.52.22 Update

    I'm not a software engineer, but I am not ignorant when it comes to IT issues. Every time I sit in my Tesla, I am amazed at how all the systems in this car function together. I can only imagine how many lines of code have to exist to give us the best driving experience we've ever had (well...

    8.0 (2.50.185) caution using TACC/Autosteer features

    The current version of TACC, as mentioned by others and the owner's manual, does not brake your Tesla completely for stationary objects, particularly objects it did not track as coming to a stop. Although AP works great in stop-and-go traffic (with a careful understanding of it's limitations...

    Bug found in last OTA update

    I think I heard if you reboot after the update, the settings for the EQ remain. Let me know if it works! :)

    Glass roof and tinted windows

    It is already pretty tinted... so much so, that I keep forgetting it's there. Add in a black interior, and it is pretty dark inside.

    What did you (or will you) name your model S?

    I went with the Mighty Zeus!

    Question re Ordering

    Welcome to the family! Just as @theslimshadyist mentioned, as far as the car is concerned it goes through multiple changes throughout the calendar year and does not necessarily equate to the traditional model year. For DMV/registration purposes, it will be the "model year" of the year it was...

    Just ordered! Confirm?

    Your one week starts as soon as you put down your deposit. Financing is usually done about 30-days out (or less) from projected delivery date. Congrats! :)

    Floor mats MS

    I just received my WeatherTech cabin floor mats and they are identical to the materials and design used in my Tesla cargo mats. They are definitely more "plastic-like" then the rubber ones I have used in the past. Just like my cargo mats, they were slightly misshapen during shipping, but...

    What accessories are people buying?

    I finally had a moment to try this and it fit like a glove! I might have to buy another one! ;)

    What accessories are people buying?

    I have heard others talking about similar mats. They are cut from an uniform layer of material, so you do not get the "lip" around the edges to hold in large amounts of snow, mud, etc. They do, however, have all the little "cells" to help hold in liquids, but they are not very deep. Just...

    What accessories are people buying?

    I thought the sun roof would be an issue (since I don't really care for them) but, I have to admit, it is much darker than I expected and I barely notice much light/heat coming in through the top. I would probably never use the pano sun shade. There have been those that have physically...

    What accessories are people buying?

    Ask your Service Center to order/reserve a set for you. I was able to get the rear mats the day I picked up my MS. Good luck!

    No Cell Connection - Line through Cellular Bars

    This happened to me this past Friday (pre-v8.0 install) in places that I have ALWAYS had LTE coverage. I could not load maps, listen to streaming audio, etc. It seemed to be an AT&T issue (maybe someone at Tesla didn't pay the bill? :eek: lol). After a few hours it was back to normal without...

    Would this be feasible/reasonable?

    Ahh... didn't know about that. :confused:

    Would this be feasible/reasonable?

    If you're willing to park the car at the SC on the 31st and let your plates expire, why not just sell it to CarMax and put that money down on your MS on delivery day? I didn't have a trade-in, so I'm not sure if there is any advantage to selling it to Tesla over CarMax, other than convenience...

    Delivery Day Process Planning

    i showed up an hour early and there was a SC employee going over my car very carefully. I attempted to wait patiently in the lobby, but eventually found my way back to my car in the delivery bay. I found a couple of small spots of "delivery adhesive" and a slightly misaligned license plate...

    Delivery Day Process Planning

    I took delivery at the Denver SC on the last day of the quarter. It was a bit busy, to say the least, but they allocated 45 minutes to my delivery. We were done in probably 20 minutes, not including my chit-chatting with the DS's and OA's (they actually brought a bunch of the folks from the...

    Blackvue Dashcam Install on 2016

    I was able to run both the power cable and the rear video cable without completely removing the mirror housing (or the mirror itself). It's a tight fit but not too bad. I pulled the headliner down a couple of inches where it meets the windshield to help pass the cables by hand. The hard part...

    Holy crap, that is hilarious and dare I say, somewhat accurate!

    [Poll] - are you mad that your new Tesla just missed Autopilot 2.0?

    Just out of curiosity, is the new AP configuration available yet for Teslas bound for Australia? I was curious how AP is received by the various Departments of Transportation/Regulation in other countries. I'm not familiar with the transportation regulations in Australia, so please forgive my...

    [Poll] - are you mad that your new Tesla just missed Autopilot 2.0?

    But are you happy with the car? Did you get what you paid for? There will always be someone else that got a better deal than you.

    [Poll] - are you mad that your new Tesla just missed Autopilot 2.0?

    Do what makes you happy. You're the one who has to live with it. However, my suggestion would be to just ask yourself, "are you happy with what you're driving now?" If yes, then keep on driving your facelift MS until it's time to upgrade. If no, then sell and reorder... Either way, I suspect...

    Pick up @Dedham, MA in a couple of weeks

    That is the best saying I've heard on here in a while! So many people are getting mad about things they cannot control, nor accurately predict. Do what's right for you and regardless of what version you have/get, enjoy this awesome car.

    AP 2.0 at AP 1.0 price?

    I suspect that they will honor the price at time of order. I ordered my MS in March 2016 just prior to the facelift and the price hike for a December 2016 delivery and got the upgrades between then and now for "free" (late 2015 pricing). The catch would be, as it was in my case, that if you...

    What do I need to pay attention during delivery?

    Everyone so far has had really great suggestions! I would like to add, if you are financing/leasing with Tesla, that you check the numbers on the paperwork versus what they have sent you via email/courier. Mine had a discrepancy that is a bit of a challenge to fix after the fact. Also, I see...

    VisibleTesla

    I just noticed that the app creator hasn't been available for some time. Does anyone know of any issues with the "trip" function? VT seems to randomly choose which trips show up on the calendar and more often than not, it chooses to display nothing. I just drove for five hours today with...

    Order Confirmation Dilemma

    I was in the same dilemma in March before the refresh, upgrades, and a price hike. I put the order in and got a late 2016 MS for the price of a late 2015. If something significant were to happen, I'd just pay the $500 change fee. You could also cancel, wait a day, and reorder so that your two...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I thought I heard somewhere they were reconfiguring their factory production line to streamline and/or change output, which would, assumably, cause delays.
