I agree. I was hoping to use my local (Dedham, MA) SC for this, just to stay with Tesla. But I'll go Town Fair Tire and get the Ice3. I'll buy the wheels, caps, and TPMS from the SC and bring them to Town Fair Tire. They say they've worked on Teslas. Should I be concerned about them driving...

Hi, I have the gray next gen seats in a new (1 month old) S85D. I am considering the gray Lloyds Luxe mats to replace the OEM Tesla black mats. Does the gray Lloyds Luxe mats go well with the gray seats or should I go with black Luxe mats. Does anyone have this combination and what do you...

I just called another SC about 50+ miles away and they said that its corporate policy to not work on or install any third party tires are anything else. The price for the wheels, TPMS, and wheel caps are $1420 (everything but the tires). I guess I'll have to go elsewhere to get my snow tires.

Interesting. I spoke my service rep this morning. They said no, only the Pirelli. Maybe I'll call the manager. thanks

Hi, I live in New England and I'd like snow tires for my new S85D. I'd also like to do this through my local SC, but I've read many not-so-good reviews of the Pirellis they sell. I'd like to get the 4 wheels and TPMS through Tesla. The package is $2500. They will also do free change overs when...

On a related point, when I took delivery, the SC actually taped the paper temp plate on the inside of the rear window. I thought nothing of it till I got home. Isn't that a bad thing to do since it can lift the defroster lines? I was VERY careful when I removed the taped temporary paper...

Hi, Today was attaching my rear license plate on my 3 week old S85D and noticed something strange about the rear defroster lines. I haven't tried to use the defroster yet so I don't know whether I have a problem. I noticed that the lines are not contiguous. There are breaks within a line...

Can we "infer", that if Tesla just upgraded the S60 to create a S70, that perhaps we may see an S100 sooner than later?

I'd like to add my voice to this topic. Why should a car as awesome as the MS not have a normal closing front whatever it's called; frunk, hood, etc. You should not have to think about how to close it like 99% of the cars in the world.

If it were $10/month, yes. $20, no. It's not like you're using it for streaming video or even for voice calls. Voice would still go through your own phone.

With 4G phones being so prevalent these days and announcements from some carriers to begin phasing out 3G, it should be time for a company with a leading edge product like Tesla to finally drop 3G and go with 4G. 4G Phones today still would support 3G or even 2G if the 4G service isn't...

Thats exactly why I'll wait to submit my order. It could be weeks or months but I'll wait.

thanks sickfox for the pix... Now that you mentioned carpet color, I never thought of that. I wonder if that means I shouldn't order the white alcantera if the carpet is black. What determines the carpet color selection ?

My point in this thread was whether I should wait (assuming it's not a year) till Tesla puts the next gen seats in all models and not just the P85D. I am ready to order now. But, I don't really need a car now as my Lexus is only 2 years old. But I love the MS. Thanks - - - Updated - - - This...

Hi, i test drove a P85D, great car, but overkill, at least for me. But I love the seats. Does anyone besides me think it makes sense to wait till the next gen seats are available on the S85 to place an order? thanks.

tezzla, just to clarify, do you have the gray seats with white alcantera headliner with gray exterior? Do you think the white alcantera matches well with the seats? From the design center it looks a little tan. So I wondered if the tan clashes with the gray. Comments? I am leaning towards that...

Hi, Can someone post or point me to interior pictures showing the gray leather seats up against each of the two Alcantera headliners ? thanks in advance.

I also like the standard headliner but when you get the white/tan leather headliner doesn't that add that partially to the top of the dash with that stitching? I kinda like that look. So it's not just a plain black dashboard top. True?

i think I'm set on the gray exterior with tan seats. Should or could I get the white alcantera with that combo? Is the dashboard always black regardless ? Would the dash always have leather and alcantera trim on it? thanks - - - Updated - - - Also how do you choose the dashboard finish? thx

Hi, Does anyone have this combination? Gray exterior Tan leather seats White alcantera headliner. I was leaning towards gray interior but my kids suggested tan. I'm not sure that goes together. Does anyone own this config? Can you post a picture ? Thanks

Maybe Tesla is reading this thread and will increase the development priority regarding 4G LTE. Tesla: you listening ?? Look how much interest this thread has generated.

The reason I don't prefer teathering is that is uses our shared family data. I guess I could increase it to the next tier for a few bucks if the data the MS uses would cause me to go over my current limit. food for thought ....

If this was 2 years ago when LTE first came out I'd agree. By now every carrier has it. By now it's not even new technology anymore. A car so advanced should have this. They say you get 4 years worth of free cell service. If 3G is not widely available 2-3 years from now, your're stuck without a...

So you are waiting too? I thought I was the only one (grin). What are the "after warranty concerns"?

I don't see why they need an LTE engineer. It isn't like they plan to develop their own LTE chip. I'm sure they buy it from Broadcom or whoever. Maybe a redesign of the hardware (i.e.: board/module). I also don't assume it will be upgradable. I bet current owners are stuck with 3G. Thus I'll...

If I plan to own the car for about 4-5 years and I assume 4G is only a few months away, plus I don't need a car yet, I'll wait.

This is one of the things I am waiting for before I order.

Yes I read that article. That was the reason I posted this. I know the MS has AT&T but at least Verizon's announcement may indicate where the industry is going. Since the MS is supposed to be leading edge, you would expect 4G to be in the works. I assume this would be a hardware change. Given...

Hi, Has anyone heard plans for Telsa to support 4G on the Model S? Currently its 3G. Just curious. thanks, Steve

Hi, Usually when I buy a new car, I don't buy the first year of a new model. I wait a year or so to allow the manufacturer to get the bugs out, so to speak. I am about to order an MS. As much as I'd like the 85D, should we/I be concerned that its Tesla's first attempt at a dual motor design? I...
