This is so irritating. I have a September of 2017 build Model X. Probably the last Model X to have the old cameras. Still no invite to retrofit in Seattle despite a perfect safety score this whole time. I had my car in twice for the FWD and asked both times with really no answer from the...

You can turn the wipers on/off with the stalk button.

My Model X was built September 6th 2017 (according to service center) and does not have the new cameras either.

Can confirm it's pointless, I did just this. My car is an August of 2017 build too. Hopefully we can at least pay for the upgraded cameras and still get it. I plan to keep this car a few more years

I'm in this boat it appears. Had a 100/100 score since the beginning and continually getting passed up. Really sucks to be treated this way by Tesla after having waited 4 years.

Hi everyone, I have a quick referral program question. I am sitting at 4 referrals from the previous program. If I get a fifth referral now, will I get a second powerwall? The app seems to suggest so. Also, am I allowed to transfer the tickets to the event to someone (like the person that uses...

Seriously? I configured on 2/26 in Seattle. Owner since 2013. I got a call early March confirming that I'm not going out of town at end of quarter. Here it is, 4/3 and still no VIN. Red, EAP, aero wheels. Super disappointed in Tesla. Going to have to bring my newborn son home in a dirty...

I am kind of in the same boat. I was on my second Model S, and am receiving my first Model 3 this Thursday. I had already promised my brother he could have it, so we have made arrangements for that. However, I just found out my Model S was a total loss from a recent accident, so I ordered...

The 49k was the updated estimate from the shop. If you PM your email I'd be happy to send it to you. Thanks.

Hmm it was incredibly reliable. It's not 100% a done deal that it is totalled but I'll consider paying a little more to have it repaired. It is kind of tempting to have a way lower payment on a Model 3 with more range and AP2 (haha). Would miss the acceleration. $49,000 of damage.

It is with a sad heart that my Model S, ElonsD, is a total loss :( I slid down a hill in the snow, and the shop wants $49,000 to fix it, so it looks like insurance company wants to total it out. Sadder than that, my car is a 2015 well optioned P85D with just over 100,000 miles. Given that I...

Hey there, I sent you a PM!

Hey there, I live in Seattle and have been a long time owner. I sent you a rather lengthy private message, because I was in a similar situation when I purchased mine. Good luck!

Sent you a PM just in case, and you will love your MOdel X in Texas!

I have 3 referrals so far. Trying REALLY hard to get the 4th... It sounds like I HAVE to get it installed though. I am renting where I am at for the next year or so though. Is this something that can be easily disconnected and moved with me? Or does any installation require a permit and more...

Hi there, I just found out that I missed the updated referral by a day, and instead of being able to get a nice black wall charger, I instead get a Solar Roof token instead. My roof doesn't need to be replaced for many years, so willing to give this to someone. Would love to trade for a...

I agree with this. They're a cool novelty, but expensive for something with limited use.

I think your logic is spot on with getting a 75 vs 100. I have a P85D, and I never feel range anxiety, and ive driven 106k in the last 2.5 years. 200 miles for local driving is fine, and longer trips have Superchargers. I do like the textile seats, but with young kids you are taking a risk! I...

Damn, if you are going to *sugar* all over someones work, at least be realistic. This car uses LIDAR, which cares less about the glaring sun than I do about this post.

I have coil suspension in my current car and came from air. I slightly prefer the coils, get complimented on the smoothness all the time, and am happy I won't have to deal with expensive repairs down the road.

Any clue on the price to replace the door?

Financially cars don't make sense. You can buy a nice bicycle and/or walk for much less money. Or take the bus.

This statement is idiotic. Are you saying that we should only care about price per unit of energy, like we are all physicists? Then why do you ignore the energy cost of extracting/transporting/refining gasoline VS electricity?

Came from a chipped Audi TTS to a P85 and then a P85D. I can't even relate to what you are saying. I find the Tesla more enjoyable in every single way, except when it comes to sliding into a parking spot :) Oh, and rolling with the top down when it's raining in Seattle to mess with people.

I haven't quite made it through all 32 pages of this yet... but people realize that you can turn your smartphone into a HUD right? HUDWAY Glass — Head-Up Display made available for any car I don't think this should be an order cancelling offense just yet. At least wait and see. I would have no...

I've had this "fixed" 4 times. Here is the issue: I park outside. I park on an incline, and because of charging, the nose is slightly lower than the rear of the car. Lots of rain (and I mean lots) comes on top of the car, and eventually slowly leaks into the the Pano. Results in a few drops...

I Uber drive with my Tesla in Seattle, and sometimes I can't resist showing off the performance when my passengers ask. Thankfully, with great performance comes even greater brakes!

Hmmm, given that I will: 1) Never be able to go over 90 in Seattle 2) Will certainly never do it with autopilot engaged 3) Won't die if I have to pull over and put it in park the one time in my life I do this I usually am able to get behind outrage, but this ranks even below no rear cupholders.

True, this is possible, but I just don't think Tesla modified any structural components unless they had to. The camera's aren't that big. We will find out!

No offense- but have you seen one of the new Autopilot 2.0 vehicles? They haven't changed much in terms of structural design. The side cameras replace the side turn indicators. The ultrasonics use the same holes- and it could be as simple as swapping the hardware. The B pillar cameras would...

Maybe in rural Canada, but not in tech friendly cities like Seattle/LA/SF, where we have tremendous traffic problems and people die every day in accidents. I would bet money on 4 years tops. In fact, as a TSLA investor, I already have.

This is quite a misrepresentation. He had to replace the steering/brakes as well, and drill holes for ultrasonics. In the case of 2.0, it would be simpler.

I said free, but really I meant "for the cost of the retrofit". Or even a half discount (exactly what they did for P85D owners to get ludicrous).

I would happily retain liability, just as I do now. I just want what was sold to me with AP1 hardware - hands free on ramp to off ramp.

Have you seen the new hardware? Where would you have to drill a hole? The side cameras look like a direct swap for the turn indicators. The cameras in the B pillars would just need to replace the top interior portion of the B pillar. The new ultrasonics use the exact same holes (same size...

Could always implement this through the app.

So does this mean you aren't going to help us retrofit to the V2 autopilot? This is horrible news. I'll post this around, I might know an interested party or two.

Spent some time looking at the new hardware. From a hardware point of view, it hardly looks difficult. Only the top parts of the B pillars, the ultrasound sensors (same holes), a replacement windshield with the new camera, and the side cameras are just replaced by the turn indicators...

The last time I tried using an inverter I couldn't get it to work and read in the manual you aren't supposed to use one.

Hi guys, My first model S was totaled out about a year ago. Can I still order a Model 3 with the same email and cut in line? When I log into the account, I no longer see the car there (both through the app and the website). Anyone know?

Really hoping he didn't skimp on property damage coverage.

Yes, his insurance has already reached out and we are going through the process. He was clearly at fault, got it on dashcam, witnesses, etc.

I can't imagine being without my car for 3 months. That is insane, and not in my P85D way. I've done the DV song and dance before in small claims, but I use the car for Uber/Turo income to help pay for it. Looks like I had better search for an attorney :(

My poor P85D (named ElonsD) got backed into today across the side. Looks like damage to both doors and the rear quarter panel. Anyone have a guess for repair time and price? I am guessing 15k repair cost (for fun). Can I insist on a Tesla rental? ;) This is in Seattle. Looks to be most...

Two difficult things: Turning left in some busy intersection. Understanding when to "go for it", when to go half way, and when to wait. Knowing when a human driver is going to let you in. People do this very differently in Seattle vs LA. Second, is those neighborhood roads that aren't one...

I don't necessarily fault Tesla for not doing a retrofit. I think it's a little ridiculous they can't do something simple, like leaving room in the wiring harness for future cameras, to alleviate things like this. It's not like this hasn't happened before. I missed 4g LTE by two days. I was...

Yeah... the hardware costs nowhere near 8k. In fact, it's likely cheaper for them to just give everyone the hardware for free than retool... which is exactly what they're doing. It's probably like 2k in hardware.

I am assuming the new ultrasonics will fit in the same hole, and that the people who built the car could do it in fewer hours than a hobbyist on a one-off project. Everything else you are talking about: adding to the wiring hardness, replacing B pillars and windshield, adding a liquid cooled...

I find it a little silly that wk057 can retrofit a P85 with autopilot for $9,000 worth of parts, and 50 hours of labor, but Tesla can't figure out a way to retrofit at a "reasonable" cost. I own a 2015 P85D. I wouldn't need a new bumper, steering column, or brakes. All the holes are there for...

If I already have next gen seats and wanted to replace them due to excessive wear in the future, is it as easy as just unbolting the old ones and bolting in the new ones?
