    Falcon Wing Door sensor reliability?

    Yeah my passenger side FWD started doing that too. Maybe half a dozen times in the last few weeks. Kinda embarrassing when your walk away thinking it closed and someone stops you to ask if it's supposed to be that way. ("Uh...yeah...for cooling, like venting your sunroof." ;-) One time though...

    Falcon Wing Door sensor reliability?

    I hope that fixes it for you outie. Keep us updated. A couple months ago I had reported my driver side FWD was fixed by a sensor replacement. But as things have been getting warmer the issue has slowly been coming back, popping up on occasion. Turns out with the heat this last week the issue...

    Falcon Wing Door sensor reliability?

    Our new X (midnight silver, built mid March) had this issue on the driver-side falcon wing door. We stopped by the Sunnyvale SC on a sunny day to show them the issue. They got us in for service the next week and replaced the sensor. I'm not sure if they did more but they definitely replaced the...

    Model X Signature Configuration has begun!

    Yeah, I was having similar thoughts. Also, is LATCH required for these 2nd row seats? Even if the 3rd row meet the legal requirements (?) I would be disappointed without it being in the 2nd row. That said, the renderings make it a bit hard to see where it would be given that the seat back...

    fire safety dilemma

    Yes, the Nest Protect does exactly this. For a smoke detector it's not cheap but seems like a good solution for you.

    Car would not wake up!!

    Similar happened to me once in mid-October. This was when I was still on 4.5 (so pre-sleep mode). I came back to my car after a round of golf and no response from the dash or center console. I tried rebooting both and the dash came back but had some error about the center console (not 12V if I...

    Paint problem or super birds?

    I've actually been thinking the same thing lately. I had several on mine. Tesla tried to polish them out but some seemed to come back (and I seemed to keep finding new ones). However, lately I just haven't noticed them. Either I'm getting used to them or they've been disappearing. I almost...

    Regen gave me some miles back!

    These replies basically touched on my a couple of my views of this. I'm mostly curious if this is purely a software smoothing to avoid jumping between numbers (as deonb posited) or if it's some measurement accuracy/precision issue or even loss of accuracy in the software (or could be some...

    Regen gave me some miles back!

    Took my first trip down to Santa Cruz in the S today. I was hoping to see regen give me some miles back on 17. On the way down there the mileage just stayed the same so I was a little disappointed. However, on the way back I did get some miles back. The weird part was that it didn't just...

    Firmware 4.5

    I got the update notice today. I'm especially looking forward to the fan fix, though I've noticed the handle timing issue as well. Glad to see they're prioritizing fixes over features.

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    It seems like after 4.5 it sometimes takes longer to decide when to revert back to headlights off for me. I think it takes 30 sec to a minute, but it eventually does for me. What's weird is that coming out of my garage it's immediate, out of the garage at work though it has this delay. It may be...

    Firmware 4.5

    I installed 4.5 yesterday. Noticed the fan behind the display is now humming away as others mentioned. Mine's not too loud, only really bothers me during pauses in the music. Still wouldn't mind having the silence back. Otherwise, I noticed that my homelink location radius has increased by...

    Panoramic roof creaking noise.

    The fix for mine has lasted for a couple months now. Mine started because there was too much adhesive from the factory install which grabbed hold of the weather stripping and took it out. Just putting the stripping back myself did not fix the constant creaks, but the Menlo Park service center...

    Very important tax related question !!! Tax time !!!!!

    Call ownership experience and request all the docs. I did when filling out my CA rebate and noticed that I didn't have the countersigned version of any of the docs we went through during deliver (including any copy of my due bill). In about 1 minute I had an email with everything.

    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    VIN P04816 delivered on Saturday -- factory tour was amazing! The car is completely awesome! All I want to do now is go out and drive it -- it's probably going to be cutting into my pre-existing golf obsession. ;-) I'm still working on getting a NEMA 14-50 installed at my condo (probably...

    Model S Insurance

    I requested several quotes in the last few days from various insurers. I have a VIN but it doesn't seem to be in any of the systems yet, so look-up is based upon price or make/model if the insurer has that already (few do). (I was actually told that my car is ready today, so I'm wondering how...

    Model S Delivery Dates and Sequencing

    Just got off the phone with someone from Tesla. He told me that my car is in "burn in testing" about 1/2 through production and should be ready in a few days. He said the only thing currently on the due bill is my parcel shelf, which they should have in stock for by end-of-Feb. Unfortunately...

    Model S Delivery Dates and Sequencing

    Thanks for the idea, I tried logging in again just now and was able to get mine too -- 4816! (It's there in the app, but not in MyTesla.) My delivery window in Feb 2 - 16, but I will be on vacation, so have previously requested factory pick-up on the 23rd (not yet confirmed). - - - Updated -...

    Can you delay your delivery after finalizing your order?

    Any idea when this thirty day clock starts? When you get the delivery info request email? The VIN? A call from the DS? The pre-MVPA seems ambiguous on this point. I did talk to ownership experience about utilizing this thirty day clause but they seemed to almost be unaware of it and were...

    HOA, Solar City, and a Red Delivery Button

    CA state law is fairly similar and I made sure to *very nicely* inform my HOA board and management company of this. Basically I said that CA has given us guidelines that we must follow in SB209 and ensured that everyone had read it. Still, just as you said HOA doesn't really have a policy. I...

    HOA, Solar City, and a Red Delivery Button

    Red delivery button and email showed up today. Problem is that I'm still waiting for Solar City to get back to me on inspecting my condo's garage/electrical so we can put an installation plan in front of my HOA. HOA is all ready to approve (pending some small concerns) but only has monthly...

    Random Model S sightings

    I saw a white Model S on Steven's Creek waiting to turn left on to Lawrence (San Jose area). I've seen many in the bay area (3 non-dealer cars in one day is my record) but this one was a bit odd though since the driver was outside the car and had to jump back in when the light turned. I was...

    Latest "Finalize your order" date

    Ha! You and gregincal are likely correct. I was thinking that the date was supposed to be revised in the mvpa preparation from what the finalize web page showed, but based upon your case this definitely doesn't seem to be the case.

    Latest "Finalize your order" date

    Look at your mvpa on page 2 (probably page 3 of the PDF) near the top where it says, "Vehicle to be delivered on or about:".

    Latest "Finalize your order" date

    Wow hvb, jan/feb on your mvpa? I (P9332) finalized a P85 on Dec 27th but had feb/mar on my agreement. I wonder why the difference. Anyhow, I don't mind you being ahead of me at all because I'm in the same boat as you -- a re-fi closing at the end of jan. Even Feb is a bit early for me...

    Tan Nappa Leather

    Yes, I was looking at some test drive cars at the Menlo Park store a few weeks back and noticed the same for both perf and non-perf seats. I even asked a rep what color they were, thinking they may somehow be a sig white, but he told me that they were in fact the tan. Too bad, I was hoping for a...

    Official: Upcoming Model S Price Increase & Timeline

    I haven't gotten my "time to finalize" email yet (should be in the next batch) but just got the price increase warning email. For me it says I have 4 weeks to finalize after I get the "time to finalize" email.

    Let the test drives begin

    Thanks for letting me know. The rep just had me jot my info down on a pad of paper under someone else's. I'll give them a call to me sure I'm in the queue. He did tell us 280 was on route, but I don't think he was doing any of the test drives himself. I'll ask if we can do it, but I have a...

    Random Model S sightings

    Yeah, I thought it looked okay there. I don't think it really matches with the instructed placement, but I doubt you'd get much trouble about it. (Although he didn't have one on the right quarter panel either.) Just noticed that he has a CHP 11-99 license plate frame. Probably a good accessory...

    Let the test drives begin

    That's correct. They took down my info and preferred days and said to expect a call or email. Still waiting...but I put in the request for a weekend drive just last weekend...patience is hard... I was told it's about a ten minute loop down Alpine and onto 280, which hits me as taking more...

    Random Model S sightings

    Interesting that it was driving so slow. I saw a black one on foothill expressway in Los Altos around 7pm a few nights back. It was also driving quite slow (maybe 35 in a 45). I thought that was a bit odd, almost wondering if the driver was testing turtle mode or something. Or perhaps they were...
