    Am I the only one still on 4.5?

    I put Gas in my Model S

    No pictures, but a couple weeks ago I was having some friends over for a backyard BBQ and realized that I needed to refill the propane. I still had to go to the local dead dinosaur depot to get the refill, but at least my Model S didn't smell like gas :smile:

    "Charge Cable Unlatched" error (charging at 16A only)

    I had this same thing happen to me just the other night. I unplugged the UMC from the car and then re-inserted it firmly. It promptly started charging @ 39/40A.

    Get J1772 adapter to pop charge port door

    I think it'd be awesome if I could build this into my OpenEVSE in my garage so that I wouldn't have to use the touchscreen every time to pop the charge port.

    Anybody gone Bay Area to Tahoe yet?

    Did Squaw Creek say where on property you could charge your car? My family and I just arrived today (not in my MS), and I don't see anywhere to charge. I might ask at the concierge desk in the morning

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    <wild speculation>Maybe they are syncing RN# to VIN# in preparation for the mobile app (iOS/Android) launch </wild speculation> One can only hope :cool:

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Just a data point for those collecting such data. I picked up my Model S on 12/23 and some time between 2 PM and 9 PM PST "My Tesla" page went from "The factory is building your Model S" to "Delivered" and showing my VIN instead of the RN#. Have others noticed this? Is TM doing these in...

    Model S - HPWC (High Power Wall Connector)

    Sounds like you and I have the same situation. I have twin chargers with no HPWC and a Model X reservation for the wife. My electrician was backlogged at the end of the year, so I still haven't installed my 14-50 yet (2 weeks is his estimate). When he installs it, I'm having him pull proper...

    Model S Software/Firmware wishlist

    Josh might be using a J1772 with the adapter in his garage instead of the mobile connector.

    Connectivity: service plan/upgradability/speed

    When I took delivery at the factory on 12/23, my DS [actually the Model S product manager acting as a DS] told me that Tesla was offering a preview of 3G for 90 days. This included 2 3G connections: one for service and software updates and a second for data (Slacker, Web, etc.). After 90 days...

    Rear child locks affect both rear doors. There are no independent door controls.

    Driving from SF to LA

    Well, I haven't actually made the trip yet in the Model S, but when we go down to Anaheim with the kids, we've always taken 152. Definitely interested in your experience though as it either means taking my car or the wife's Honda Odyssey. I'd rather take the Model S :biggrin:

    Driving from SF to LA

    I'm planning on making a similar trip in mid January from the Los Gatos area. My plan is to 'Max Range' supercharge in Gilroy then hit the Tejon/Laval Rd Supercharger at the end of the trip. My concern is the bottleneck in Harris Ranch, since there is only a single SC there. Since Gilroy SC...

    Safety mode when driving through standing water

    Since that was my posting, I'll try to provide more specifics. As I was driving, I didn't really see the water on the highway (between fighting the wipers, it being very dark and trying to concentrate on the traffic). I don't believe it was anywhere near 1 ft of water, but it was reasonably...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Like mcornwell, I took delivery at the factory today (3pm). There were so many people picking up cars today that they split us into two groups. One group did the tour first followed by the walkthrough. The other did the walkthrough first. I was in the latter group. My DS, Tim, was busy with...

    Model S Delivery Dates and Sequencing

    Is your config a performance? At P2420, I was hoping to get a VIN by now, but my call to Tesla today @ 12:45 PST told me one hadn't been assigned. Guess I'll try again tomorrow.

    Financing options

    PenFed will max out at 70k. I've read here that they require 15% down to get that amount, but I don't recall seeing that on their website. Given that mine will be closer to 100k, I'm definitely putting at least 15% down to work within the 70k limit.

    I thought so too, but TM's Go Electric page shows the same 300 miles per hour charging rate.

    I also had the button and configured for factory pick up. 12/15-12/31.

    Financing options

    Just following up with my PenFed saga: Just received a "conditional approval" email from PenFed today. The condition listed in the email is: PLEASE PROVIDE VIN PRIOR TO DISBURSAL. So, Tesla, are you listening? I need to get a VIN to send you guys some money! Help me help you! :biggrin:

    Financing options

    I ended up sending them my pre-MVPA. The problem with the pull down selections is that it appears to remember what you selected. In my case, they valued the loan based on what was selected and not on the Model S (see posting 102 in this thread).

    Financing options

    Yes, I sent back my proof of income on 11/19 expecting a 48 turn around (11/21-ish). I gave them the benefit of the doubt for the Thanksgiving holidays. When I hadn't heard anything from them by Monday (11/26), I sent them a "hey, what's up" mail. (I misstated the 11/25 date). The "counter...

    Financing options

    Here's how things went for me: File opened 11/14, proof of income sent on 11/19. Pinged them on 11/24 and received "counter offer" on 11/25. Sent MVPA on 11/28, website showed APPROVED (with comment to send VIN for disbursal) dated 12/1. So, it looks like 2ish weeks.

    A few VINs spotted on the line yesterday (& Canadian sigs). + Informal Color Census

    I'm P2420 and have green, but I haven't been given a VIN yet. Here's hoping... :love:

    Financing options

    Well, I just found out that the full 70k was approved from PenFed. The only comment on the application was that I needed to provide the VIN for disbursal of funds. I guess sending them the pre-MVPA was the trick. Now, if only I can get that silly VIN. According to the Ownership Experience...

    Financing options

    Most likely what happened (for the NADA nonsense) is that the pull down menus list all sorts of non-Tesla vehicles, and I might have accidentally left something else selected. I sent PenFed a response to their "counter offer" with a copy of my pre-MVPA. Hopefully I'll find out something soon...

    Financing options

    I've been following this thread for some time, and based on the large number of recommendations for PenFed, I've tried to get the process started. The operative word here is "tried." I set up my account with the $5 and donation to one of their affiliated charities. That was all very smooth...

    AWESOME! That's the exact same as my car (excluding the delivery to Boston). Hope to hear something myself soon (P2420). :biggrin:

    Production Rate (incl manufacturing waves)

    All these projections, of course, assume that all Rs and Ps are created equally. We have no idea the mix of battery configurations nor how/when TM is going to start introducing the CDN Ps. DouglasR's calculations assume that all Ps are 85 kWh and US models.

    First Model S to get a custom color after delivery?!

    I heard from someone who works at the same company as Laurent that he sold his Sig Red.

    Model X Tally

    I just upgraded my wife's Model X reservation (P1146) to Signature S207. Odd that it's less than the currently posted S209 in the tally.

    Contacting my "Tesla rep"

    I received a phone call today from Tesla. The rep (really wish I could remember his name) answered all my questions. Hooray for persistence. One of the questions I ask was if I was able to get a factory tour if I chose factory delivery. He told me that if I took delivery at the factory and...

    Contacting my "Tesla rep"

    I don't have a "right column" on the " My Tesla" page. I only see the "garage view." I seem to recall a long time ago, been a reservation holder since Sept 2010, that there was once a name there. Then, out of the blue, it changed from a name to a generic email address. Of course, this is all...
