I recently installed the latest update and it includes the walk-away door lock with the option of excluding home. Pretty simple, check the box if you want to exclude auto door lock at home. In my case the answer would be yes, check the box and hold the unlocked condition. However I don’t...

Tesla continues to pass over Charleston, they keep moving the supercharger target date back. The City of Charleston has a few J1772 chargers in the muni parking ramps which helps but obviously a supercharger station is well past due for this major tourist destination. The 2021 PGA is scheduled...

The irony here is that I-26 from I-95 to Charleston is designated and posted as an alternate fuel corridor and along that route there is only one Tesla charging source (semi-public destination charger at Springhill Suites in N. Charleston).I assume there is some federal funding that goes with...

We never go to the SC coast without a long extension cord.

I have been lobbying for destination chargers on Kiawah for over a year. You may be aware that the Sanctuary Resort has a destination charger but they charge a $25 valet fee and priority goes to resort guests. I have paid the valet fee on occasion but last year the car came back with curb rash...

Charleston, SC - Badly needed; never the bride and always the bridesmaid - Charleston, SC Kiawah Island, SC - The Hamptons of the Southeast, too many Teslas to count and the closest supercharger is 95 miles away - Kiawah Island, SC

There seems to have been a great deal of stupid surrounding this project. The broken windows may not be the end of the mistakes.

Well there were people who thought the Aztec was really cool too! However the Aztec is mild on the fugly scale compared to this disaster. I'm sure Tesla will be able to sell some, but Tesla has totally missed the opportunity to score big in the pickup truck market. The earlier Tesla truck...

This area desperately needs a supercharger, the closest Tesla level 3 is in Santee, 85 miles from Charleston. In a pinch I have used the Tesla destination chargers at the Springhill Suites on I-26 for some comfort miles on my way back to Santee. The Springhill Suites at this location does not...

This afternoon I did a follow-up on the Tesla charging station telephone number I posted...it turns out that this is a direct line to technical support for Tesla HOME charger installation. He could not give me a telephone number for anyone connected with the Supercharger team, but there is an...

Yup! Are you in SC?

Yes, in fact that has been our new charging routine; stop at Santee, get a full charge and continue to the coast. If we don't do a lot of driving in the Charleston area we should have enough to get back to Santee. If we find that we are close to running out of range, we stop at the Springhill...

We have used the Sanctuary charger on several occasions, but it isn't public and it really isn't convenient. They only have one, so if there is more than one Tesla on the property you have to wait your turn. And the charger is in the hotel loading dock area, so your car has to be valeted...

Charleston is not transparent when it comes to various permit processes. If you need a building permit in a hurry you are on the wrong planet. There are a number of good sites in Charleston or near the 526 beltline (the airport for example). I keep searching for information on a Charleston...

Good to know.

We go to Kiawah often and our visits frequently bring us into Charleston. The Sanctuary on Kiawah will let you Charge with their Tesla charger, but their is a $22 valet fee (plus tips) and the last time I valeted the car there I discovered some minor damage on the leading edge of the RF quarter...

I couldn’t find anything in the manual or software to edit the labels but I think it would be helpful if Tesla would make the nav labels changeable in a future software upgrade. HOME and WORK doesn’t fit every owner. They let us edit other nav titles as well as homelink titles. But thanks for...

The default navigation menu offers two primary “saved” locations, HOME and WORK. Is there a way to customize/edit these labels? Specifically I want to change the WORK label to HOME 2 or CONDO.

I want to add my vote for this location as well. We have been patiently waiting for Tesla to get this SC location underway. I realize that Charleston can sometimes be difficult to deal with administratively, but Tesla has had this on the proposed site list for a couple of years and we are...

You would be a very welcomed messenger if you could provide some specifics. Initially the rattle in my car was a minor distraction but it has become very annoying over time and there are many others on this thread who are in the annoyed camp. We are all waiting for the secret sauce that will...

Could the MS MCU contain a basic notepad app linked to the cars voice commands? After a phone call there are often various things to follow up on or remember. It could be used for a list of things needed at the store or the name of a song. For those of us who constantly keep notes a note app...

You and I exchanged a couple messages as our Decatur delivery dates were the same. I am curious to know if you have noticed a rattle noise from the front suspension? It seems that several of the cars (including mine) have a problem with the struts.

You and I picked up our cars on the same day in Decatur, GA. I have been experiencing suspension noise from the front of the car. There is a thread on the TMC blog relating to this annoying rattle and it seems to affect all Model S cars built during a specific time period. I am curious to...

We will start driving to Atlanta early Friday morning for our new MS. We have our delivery scheduled for 10:00 AM. Very excited that the long wait is nearly over. It has been fun to check in on this blog, it certainly helped the anxiety.

Do not watch the clock - it will only make the day longer

God's country; prettier than Racine. We moved to SC 14 years ago but we still have family and friends north. Lots of great memories skiing the UP, weekends in Door Co, Taliesin, House on the Rock, etc. But since moving we visited places new to us and we have created memories in places we...

Don't the have to camouflage or do something to those cars to them to sneak them into Texas.

I experienced the exact situation. I second the response by jslanger, about 4 hours after I spoke with my DS the status changed on my account page. The good news is, at this stage there isn't much value in checking the account page anymore. Give your DS a day or two and then call him or her...

I will have to check it out. Those last couple days waiting and the drive to ATL is certainly going to be interesting!

I will check it out on Friday, but please provide advance notice, what is a multi-pattern interior?

That was terribly good timing, I'd have gone out and picked up some lottery tickets as long as I was on a hot streak. Somebody had their eyes open and their heads-up and they gave you a jump start in the process.

If you ordered within the past week or two you probably don't have a VIN yet. The MANAGE my account link on your Tesla page is where these updates are supposed to appear but there have been cases where the car is ahead of the updates. Nevertheless, when you start getting stressed out you can...

Decatur has really been busy the past few weeks, lots of deliveries. I had a similar choice to make, Charlotte or Decatur. We have family in the Atlanta area so it was an easy choice. I think I will miss you guys by one day. I want to get my car on Friday the 16th so I can have the Expel...

Well if it is any consolation my account page still says "in production". There is not doubt that the account page is sometimes well behind the true status. Now I am very surprised that you California guys haven't figured out a way to attach or link to your Tesla via GPS. That would relieve...

My account page status is still “in production “, but I caught my DS on the phone this morning and he confirmed it was out of production several days ago and it is being shipped by truck. It should arrive in Decatur on March 12, but sadly it will have to wait in the corner until March 15 or 16...

CBP you are still out there? I thought they would have you locked up by now! :p

Well in his defense I called him on his cell and he was at home, day off? He sent a text to the DS asking him to contact me but nothing yet as of early Thursday, however I am pretty confident in the projected timeline, I still think we will both be in Decatur at the same time.

So that is the secret? The refresh button?

Good idea. I called my OA and even though he doesn't have access to the production schedule and he couldn't give me a status report, he could offer some insight. He said that they have been pushing out cars and the DS delivery center has a very full schedule. My DS has been responsive in the...

Why not do both? That is what I did. I got the website on my screen and then called the OA. I had him talk me through the process. In hindsight I could have done it without help, but it is a little less stressful to have someone on hand in the event of a question and hopefully he gets credit...

Hang in there and stay with us ILzappy, we all struggle through the wait and even though there is a snapshot of hope along the trail, that quiver of excitement is quickly replaced by the anticipation of reaching the next milepost. It will all be forgiven when they call to report that they are...

I was expecting that we would both be off production and into shipping this week. Outstanding news for you, but I am still waiting, the status hasn't changed on my account page and I haven't heard from my DS. I sure would like an update.

I spoke on the phone to the owner of Buff Guys and also the owner of Shine Auto Salon, also in Alpharetta. It is a 3 hour drive for me so obviously I didn't get to evaluate their operation. Seeing their shop would help me decide who to work with. They both carry Opti-coat and Xpel. Buff...

Verrrrry nice Tanner! I haven't seen the logo lights before!

I like the two car discount! I want to do the red calipers as well, heave you looked at the ones from Evannex. I have no idea what it costs to have them painted, but the Evannex caliper covers are probably quicker. My local shop quoted me $40 to put them on. I want to get a quote on Xpel from...

I started with the basics: Buff Guys They have a pretty nice website, it describes their different application packages and prices. I thought it was ironic that I was looking for some kind of advanced windshield protection other than film and Buff Guys has some type of windshield application...

If you find it please post (re-post) on our forum - I'm sure many will benefit from the information. My first reaction to the white interior was "who is going to want that to deal that?" But then it grows on you and if you are seriously considering a Tesla, you are not mainstream anyway...

Yes I know, I ordered the white too.

How very true. Not like walking into an ICE dealership and getting your new car an hour later or maybe a day later! The first new car I bought was a 1969 Camaro SS, blk /blk, 396 ci., an absolutely beautiful car. I had to wait 4 weeks for it to be built and delivered. The wait was terrible...
