I love that you are doing Uber for fun, you are spreading the Tesla Gospel. Deadmau5 takes people around as an Uber driver in his Mclaren in Canada when he is bored.

My car will not engage Launch Mode unless max Battery is turned on. I use it about once or twice a week when I feel like being extra punchy. I definitely notice more power especially at passing speeds when I have a fully warmed battery. I used it all afternoon yesterday when I demo'd the car to...

Do it. You won't regret it. Plus it's vinyl so you can undo easily.

Getting a bath tomorrow, but here you go. I did it about a year ago. Everything is black gloss except the P and the D. The ludicrous line is black too. Love it. You can't tell but the plate frame is a blacked out SpaceX frame. IMO Tesla's have too much chrome and blacking them out makes them...

Everyone who drives my Tesla loves it and loves it quick. But the women that have fall in love almost even quicker and it is always the smooth ride. I think they really notice and appreciate the smooth ride and lack of shifting. It is always the first thing I hear. Also I think that the...

I see a bunch down here in Orange County

When I see an X in real life I personally do not like the black plastic I think it looks cheap like a Mazda or an Audi Allroad. A Cayenne GTS is painted where the others are not and IMO it looks so so much better. The funny thing is besides black I mind it the least on the white, maybe cause the...

I love the new front. Love it. Hate that license plate holder though, I wouldn't even leave delivery with that thing on. Ruins it.

My nephew thinks I have the Force.

I have made it from Barstow to Primm several times avg. 85mph+ you will have to charge longer in Primm, but it is doable. My wife would rather sit at a charger rather than let cars pass her, so that is what we do. We have family in Vegas and go all the time and truth be told 95% of the time we...

I would charge 100% the night before at your house. No reason not to IMO. Why not stack the deck higher before you go. I usually do, didn't in my example cause that morning had to run to a kids bball game.

Yeah set the trip in your GPS and it will tell you when you have enough range to make it to the next charger or destination. On my recent trip I left OC with 207 miles, stopped and charged in Barstow for about 35 mins and then again in Primm for 15. Driving the whole way with range mode off and...

Yeah initiate software updates from app and turn on "Max Battery" from app too.

I was going to get an RS7 before test driving the Tesla. Once the P85D came out I figured I would just do it to cross it off the list. I reserved the Tesla 5 mins after the Test drive and have never looked back. I agree with above though if Ludicrous doesn't speak to you get an 85D brand new. If...

I have to have rear camera on bottom. 99% of the time Music on top.

I have Ludicrous I got it in January. I never took the time to get actual hard spec #'s, but I wrote a detailed write up here. There are some others too, Performance of P85D with Ludicrous upgrade review Do you notice it as a daily driver with Ludicrous on without Max battery? Yes. Do you...

I launched (normal launch) with a Cop directly behind the car behind me, I did not see him. I was on a road that is 55 and when I got to 55 I let off like I normally do. So I didn't exceed the speed limit. He quickly pulled me over and seemed just as interested in what he had just seen as he was...

I had that happen last year between two updates. I felt like there was a big hit to my acceleration. My kids noticed it too. I haven't done a legit launch post this new one to say I have noticed it again. Out of town will have to try when I get back.

I will PM you the guy I used here in SoCal, way cheaper than most. Found him from another Tesla Owner. I didn't fully wrap my handles because he said it can increase chance of sticking. So when they pop out you see chrome.

Thanks. I think with the Dark Gray it changes the whole look. Makes it so much meaner and leaner. I get a lot of, "I can't tell why but your Tesla looks cooler than my friends." Subtle but makes a big difference. I am getting the black/yellow commemorative 60's License plate too which I think...

My P85D (March 2015) has always had heated steering wheel. Is that just a 2014 thing?

Mine

As soon as 100D and vented seats are available I am trading up. Sorry if I missed it, are the door handles like the X or still the S pop outs? I'd love the auto doors too.

Would be so awesome if we could retro-fit the refresh. Would gladly pay for AC seats and new bumper set up.

I think a refresh to align with Model X is very feasible, but I think a full 2nd Gen announcement would not happen until after 2nd Model 3 announcement. But agree on this thread.

I just got the notice, but I'm out of town. I wish you could initiate an update through the app.

Did you use "range mode?" When I turn off Ludicrous and put it in range mode it makes a night and day difference on range.

I was looking for a thread, I couldn't find it.

This guy already posted a Periscope of a drive, lots of useful questions too. Tesla Motors @TeslaMotors I freaking love it! They killed it! Threw down the gauntlet!

You see the matte gray with the blacked out chrome and the handles the same color as the paint. I have been saying that this whole time that is what they need to do.

For me it was flawless until 7.1. Since 7.1 almost everytime I take a call it cuts off and resets or doesn't connect at all after the call.

I have tried it about 4 times in my neighborhood for fun. If I am tracking a car I can make it through about 2/3rds the way. If not it cuts off on the first turn opening. I have tried with a 3 car length distance setting, but as I am writing this I want to go back out and track with a 1 car...

Mission Viejo today was nuts. My friend got there at 5am and was 10th, by 10am there was a line across the entire mall. About 3x as long as any iPhone line I have ever seen there. Took til about 12:30pm to get through them all.

I am hoping for a $75k+ version that will a be sub 3 second GTR killer.

I am replying to this in regards to my Model S, I don't know how the Model 3 will be, but I would assume it will be the same. I had a 2007 BMW M5 and then a 2010 Audi S4 and I have never looked back. I loved my S4 too, great car. I was sad driving it to pick up my S for trade in. The second I...

Yeah I would wait.

Get the 70 now and trade in for the 3 later. After experiencing a Tesla for daily driving there is no way I could wait that long.

West Coast is the Best Coast :cool:

I am just stoked to see other people pushing the limits with EV's. What EV's will be able to do in 10 years will be insane.

I just got the same call. What surprised me was they said I could get a 90D by the end of march. The only thing they said I can't get is 5 seat configuration or a 70D. They also said if I wait and don't do it and finalize next week then it will be end of summer for a 90D.

I upgraded to L on my P85D and I say do it.

I love walking into my house while my car summons and parks itself and then closes the garage (makes me feel like Bond or something). Yesterday I came out and saw that the car didn't stop til it hit my cabinets. I had it set to 9" in the custom settings. I've since set it to 12" and have ran it...

If you do decide to trade it in it won't be because of apples to apples it will be the oranges that blew you away in the Tesla that will compensate. I went from an M5 and an S4 to the Model S and I loved both those cars, but not even close to the S. It's so new and different it just blew me away.

I agree with OP. Tesla has completely ruined me being a "Car Guy." I skipped the LA Auto Show this year when I heard their wouldn't be an X, because I could really careless about any ICE. Koenigsegg did just announce a 1Megawatt car that will be announced soon and that is the first thing that...

Everyone at the Meet the Model X event yesterday in Costa Mesa said nothing until mid/Late summer on 90D's and then most likely end of year/first of next year on 70's

Yeah it is actually pretty casual. They want to sell these things so the more the merrier. Plus two seconds with an X in real life is the best sales tactic. I didn't think I would like it THAT MUCH. I thought it would be a "tall S with some bells and whistles." This thing is the next step in the...

I am going to go with 6 seat too. Did the "Meet the Model X" yesterday in Costa Mesa and definitely prefer the 6 seat for added cargo and space. My friend was sitting in the back during our drive and noticed after about 3 seconds that it was so weird that there were no arm rests. I don't think...

You are right, good catch.

They put a switch to effectively act like a tranny in this Monster, Translogic 180: Zombie 222 Electric 68 Mustang - YouTube you switch it on at 70mph and it resets the torque and the horse power. They get 0-60 in 1.9 out of that thing, but only 50 mile range. Made for drag strip, not range.

@nsx1992 Costa Mesa in Dec. I was the third retrofit done there. They stopped scheduling but I have a friend that just got back on the schedule for March.
