Thanks. Good to know.

If I got the full self driving upgrade (I have enhanced now), would they upgrade the MCU too? We have AP2/MCU1. We've been thinking about upgrading for awhile. Just wasn't sure if the HW3 needs MCU2.

She was contacted by the service center about a large order for Europe that had to get out, so her car is delayed. She's trading in so she hopes they still honor the price they gave her if she goes a little over the mileage they set. I think she'll be fine, but it indicated a trade in date of...

A friend of mine that ordered a week ago thought she'd have her car in 3 weeks. It's now extended to 6-8 weeks.

We'll also be in Rexburg. Probably fully charged as we're staying with friends on the 19th-21st in Ashton. Then early morning departure to travel south. Close to Rexburg. I don't know where we'll end up. Afterwards, we're going to try to get to Buhl for a camp night. Crossing our fingers...

My husband and I will begin our trip on the 17th. We'll be in Washington, UT (17th), Salt Lake City (18th) and traveling through Idaho Falls on the 19th. Friends in Ashton will take us in, but we'll head down to Rexburg with a full charge that morning. Then we'll see how it goes. We have a...

I'd ask. We almost changed our minds after signing a contract but they were willing to waive the fee. We decided to keep what we were getting. Now I wish I had the softer vegan seats. And if air suspension was included, I would have loved it. Also, is it true that some are reporting their...

jgd108, I personally wouldn't take a 2013. And maybe if you were told what the payments would be for a 2013 vs a new 2017, it might not be a huge difference. You mention a $13,000 difference, but I didn't see the referral reduction of $1000. So if you have someone's referral code, you'll lower...

We're going to watch the weather too. We'll head west if needed. Maybe we'll see you there.

The first model this was named Stormtrooper because it was white. When we upgraded to a midnight silver floor model, we named it Tron.

We're actually driving up from Scottsdale beginning the 17th. We'll be in Washington, UT in an Airbnb. The 18th in Salt Lake City in a hotel (we think). Then off to Ashton, ID to stay with friends. We'll drive south early on the 21st to hit Rexburg, ID. Hopefully, we don't have to make some...

We bought a CPO and decided to wait off on turning on the feature. I figure I can make a $1000 from owning stock then to give it up now. (Wishful thinking) . Plus what if that feature can never work because it needs additional hardware. So we skipped it and have Enhanced AP2. I know some are...

I was going to post and found this! Yes, we have plans to drive up from Scottsdale with the dog. Going through Utah for a couple nights and ending up at Ashton with friends. Our plan is to get to Rexburg that morning. I think it has the longest total eclipse. Then head to Idaho Falls to...

We went in Sunday to look at colors and ended up finding a car destined for the showroom with 6 miles on it. We're taking delivery on Saturday at 11am! Upgrade from non-AP to AP2 and going midnight silver. I'm excited!!!! Make sure you join the AZ club here and on Facebook. We have...

I heard the same thing from an associate. And this was after she had checked with Fremont. The free supercharging goes with the vin.

Here's a Scottsdale/Phoenix link. IM if you have any questions. Configuration we have is in my signature. http://ts.la/robert1270

I'm not so sure. When we rec'd our car, there were cars already with new hardware and the person who walked us through the car features said that we had new tech on our car that others didn't. We learned 2 weeks later that we didn't when the announcement was official. Hopefully, they learned...

I'm so happy they did that for you! I was disappointed when I read your other post. I hope you end up completely satisfied with this one.

I hope we get rumors of price increases before announcement.

Oh absolutely! My husband wants to wait too. I only worry about our trade in losing more value when AP2 is announced. I just hope there isn't another price increase like in April.

You could order and push back the delivery date. Then move it up when all is official. I think it's coming soon so you may not have to wait too long.

I began wondering about that when Tesla posted a 100 graphic on their Twitter page then changed it to 100% Electric. Seemed suspicious. Like they didn't know people would jump to a conclusion. That was before the refresh. I have a gut feeling that the refresh cars have the 100 battery in their...

That's what I was thinking. My husband wants to wait until announcement. But we have an S85 pre AP to trade in. We checked 3 mos ago and they'd give us $51K. I'm sure that's lower now and could drop more once this new version is announced. A little chancy.

More news today. Looking like cars built this week are including new hardware. Tesla Autopilot 2.0: next gen Autopilot powered by more radar, new triple camera, some equipment already in production

Now that more info has come out today, this Reddit post is looking pretty close to what might be the truth. Maybe it was Elon after all. But I wonder if cars this week will have all the components or will there be more added in 3 weeks. Still waiting to decide on upgrading.

Those seats are so soft. I think superior to actual leather. Hopefully they hold up better too.

Here it is. You can get more details on pg 1 & 2 of this thread. http://a.disquscdn.com/uploads/mediaembed/images/3597/268/original.jpg

Elon has said he enjoys Reddit. Not sure why, but maybe he thinks they're more intellectual there. Anyway, it did seem pretty specific. And there was the July 5th story Technobuffalo that had a "good source" stating AP2 would be here by the end of the year. I have hope. At least if it's true...

A mysterious Reddit post implies new hardware coming around early September. Wait to buy model S, hoping for next gen autopilot hardware? Essentially, this is what got everyone excited. "Little birdie told me: new hardware installed in 45 days Xs and refreshed Model S capable of retrofit...

If they begin placing new hardware in the car, we may not know it until announcement which could come later. Unless it's pretty obvious externally. They didn't acknowledge AP1 until a couple weeks later.

Crossing my fingers and and seeing if the husband wants to order with a December delivery. We could always push it up.

Stay until next weekend and go to Hot August Nights. A fun classic car event with free entertainment through the weekend.

We live in Arizona and love our pano roof. We did get windows tinted except for the pano. That helped a lot as well. We do keep the car garaged and try to park in shade. The one thing you need to remember is if you want to protect the car even more, I'd highly suggest Suntek or Xpel protection...

We purchased the textile seats and are satisfied with them. For us, it was a cost-cutting issue at time of order. But at the same time, I try to choose animal-free products and this fit the bill. However, if the Model X fake leather seats became available on the S, I'd get those in a heartbeat...

Thanks for that information. It helps. Do you know if you lock in, and let's say a seat option you've been hoping for becomes available which increases the cost of your car, does the $500 chg fee still apply?

I'm not sure how many times you can but when I built the car, I could originally set it for October. I'm pretty sure you can push it back further as I know someone who did this twice. I don't think he paid a fee. Maybe someone who's done this can respond better.

Tesla states 8.0 updates will improve current configuration. And they've always said the system doesn't allow for people to keep their eyes off the road. So if it's option 1, I doubt they're going to say that it's unsafe and you'll have to upgrade to get a safe car. Even AP2 isn't going to be...

We are thinking of upgrading our car soon as well. But I've been waiting for something official. I saw the story earlier today and thought maybe we could order and set delivery for October. If it comes out earlier we can push it up. Or we could push it back if it hasn't been released. The one...

On another note, here's the link to the stockholder meeting. He only addressed the seat availability question at 2:43:30. He sort of says that he normally doesn't like discussing future items. Really didn't say it would be available in the S, but I bet it will be. 2016 Shareholder Meeting |...

We're thinking of upgrading to get AP, but are also battling when to do it. We might take advantage of the $1000 off (I'd order using my husband's referral) but not take delivery until later this year. I still think an AP upgrade is coming and Elon didn't say the ventilated seats wouldn't be...

I wonder if all these options are upgradeable in the future. For example, a 60 can become a 70; 75 to 85; 90 to 100? These battery sizes have all been done at one time or another except for the elusive 100. We want to upgrade so we can have AP and are hoping for AP2 to come out by the end of...

done.

Congratulations to you. We're thinking about upgrading (or downgrading) from an 85 to 75D. We really want to have the experience of AP. They keep changing things on the ordering page. Now a 75 can be ordered separately. Four battery options are now on the main page. When we do order, we...

Some were outright ridiculous. They just want attention.

We're thinking the same thing. We just don't know about our trade in. It was worth $50,800 last month. By the time it's announce, our model could drop $10k over night. That's why I'm watching the reports closely. Here's hoping it is sooner.

We arrived today and will be there with proxy in hand. So excited to see Elon.

Got it. I was trying to gauge if they were making available soon the X style seats. Although it would have to be different in the 2nd row. An I'm glad they were able to accommodate for the rest of the car. What was the extra expense if you don't mind sharing? I would hope they decreased the...

Are you getting the cloth seats or the new synthetic leather available on the X? Those seats are incredible. We're waiting off on an order for several reasons but I'd like them to begin offering those seats.

I think they'll do the same thing they did last time. And I remember a post on one of the Tesla boards stating he had a friend that worked at Tesla tell him not to order until October. That post still haunts me. I should have delayed our delivery but we had already waited 3 mos by the time we...

Us too - by a few days. I won't let that happen again. And we're seriously looking to upgrade once we know something better is coming. I hope June has new announcements from Elon.
