If you mean Tesla's financing, no.

I got one, too. I, too, was excited until I opened it and saw "demin equivalent of a V12 engine." And, I also immediately thought, smelly, high maintenance, 4X too expensive. What a strange promo to give to Tesla owners. Someone needs to go back and review Marketing 101.

I'd rather keep things simple and just show the front camera unless in reverse, avoid external switches, and use Tesla's camera if it's a simple jumper or resistor on the pcb to unreverse the image. The reason I'd want to reuse Tesla's camera is to ensure 100% compatibility with the camera...

XLR8 uses the iphone's sensors. I have my phone mounted on the dash with iOttie's Easy View Car Mount. Then I route audio through bluetooth and start the app. While stationary, I just press start and then drive away. It'll try and figure out how fast you're going and match what your selected ICE...

I pointed this problem out each of the two times my car's been in for service. The second time, they "adjusted door strikers". It does in fact close fine now, but the edge of the door furthest from the hinge is no longer flush with the body. It sticks out about 1/8" and looks like it didn't shut...

Any confirmation on their locations? I am estimating Paso Robles and Ventura:

We're hoping to plan a trip in August and take the 101 instead of the 5 from LA to Los Altos. I overlaid the summer map to estimate the locations, but don't have any intelligence on the dates they'll come online. The original jpeg said 2013q2 which is rapidly passing by... Looks like Paso...

I took my car in for service a couple weeks ago and got a new (14 miles on the odometer) blue 60kwh loaner. Both my car and the loaner had the fan noise: the new one from right behind the 17" screen and the ambient light buzz. With 4.5 the fan noise behind the screen must have gotten a lot...

I've been dumping all readings every 10 minutes to a database since I thought to do it a couple months ago. I've graphed some of the data here: http://www.teslametrics.com/chart The temps definitely stop reporting regularly when the car isn't charging. The vampire drain, unfortunately...

Cool! Hopefully it's a new, higher dot revision.

I'm gonna have to plan a cross country trip this winter... Hmm, wait, winter... ya what the hell!

Yep. I'm on 4.4 and hit 210 rated miles on a supercharge today. Never passed 197 prior to 4.4.

That's what's happening to me. Noticed this after 4.4. Not sure if it was happening with 4.3.

In the category of simple things I'd like to do that I can't because I don't have access to the diagnostic mode: add the car's mobile number to my AT&T microcell. Frustrating.

I didn't know the feature existed until after I got 4.3 and read something about it on the forum. The option isn't on the settings tab and when I attempt to set them, nothing happens when I switch between R and D.

Received v4.4 (1.31.11) today sometime around 2:30 PM PST. No changes pointed out in release notes aside from scheduled charging. Mirror tilt isn't available still for me. As I sit here in the car typing this, the handles presented and retracted several times separated by a couple minutes.

Nope. Happened again. It's as if it tries to go all the way out, doesn't make it, and then the firmware crashes. Talked to a service tech on the phone. Had me reset everything, lock/unlock the car, then he did it remotely. None of it worked. So I popped the fuse to fix it temporarily. I've got...

It's happened to me twice--once Monday evening, once this morning. Just the driver's (left) door. The handle presents, but pulling it does nothing. When it's in this state, it looks a little more recessed when extended than the other doors. Reboots have no effect. I had to pull fuse 41 each time...

The service has been unreachable since noon PST. It's quite a long time for any modern service to be offline. I wonder if they were hacked and are working furiously to patch the hole or if it's simply because no one's around on the weekend to press the reset button.

What a fun thread. I took and evening and used the python library, google charts, and the free scheduler and web dyno on heroku to grab data every ten minutes, store it, and serve this graph. I plan to make it more dynamic, with selectable series, real time updates, and some calculations like...

I picked up my car last week from the factory and it stopped clicking after one use. They fixed it, but after I got home, I pressed it again and it's back to no clicking. Still turns on and off automatically and when entering the car.

No difference after charging as range mode just keeps charging the battery until it reaches 100% instead of stopping at 90%. Standard mode's 90% max is better for the cycle life of the battery and is what you should use for most of your charges.

I wish there was a way I could simply download the data from the car. I wasn't recording anything, although I did snap some screen shots of the Tesla app at various moments after Gilroy. Here's a very rough estimate to try an answer your question. I only standard charged and my speed varied. I...

:biggrin: Thanks, Hans! Nice to meet you virtually. I've only met two other guys named Hans in 40 years...

Certainly none at Gilroy, which was less than 40 mi. from the factory. But when my co-workers (I brought them as guests on the tour) and I reached Harris Ranch and saw another guy charging at the one supercharger, I have to admit I got a bit anxious. All the more so when we checked at the desk...

Yep, first weekend with the Tesla for me. The kids loved the rear seats, then yesterday started to say it was getting too hot. And it's only 72 degrees out here. Opening the windows to blow some air back there helped until we stopped at a light. I'm in La Canada--is there an installer around...

Picked up my 60 last Thursday morning. Here is my trip from the factory to LA: http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/9489-Model-S-Delivery-Update?p=302507&viewfull=1#post302507

Picked up my Tesla (60kWh) at 9AM at the factory last Thursday and drove it to LA. Supercharging is totally awesome! Only issue was Harris Ranch, but there were six more stations ready to go live any week now. Fremont to Gilroy: http://ptch.com/ptch/514b633b8d4f986fb6e4715f Harris Ranch...

Elon at the Hawthorne Supercharger/SpaceX Met Elon when I was supercharging! What an awesome guy in person, and tall too! And his assistant is simply the best. Entertained my kids while we waited and then said Elon was on his way over to see me. :biggrin: OK, actually, he was on his way over to...

Just used all the superchargers from Fremont down to LA yesterday. Here's Harris Ranch: http://ptch.com/ptch/514b9207ac60304d3e02fda9 The rest are here: ptch - Tesla

Picking up my 60 next Thursday from the factory! It's two weeks early. 11/7/12 Reserved 1/25/13 Finalized 3/5/13 Delivery Prompt (original est. 3/12) 3/8/13 VIN 7850 (original est. 3/19) 3/15/13 Final MVPA 3/21/13 Factory pickup (3/29-4/12 previous delivery window, original estimate Feb/Mar)

Tesla's been cranking on 85's for a while now. I reserved in November and received my finalization email request on 1/11, finalized my 60 within a week, but then made some changes, so my resulting finalize date was 1/25. They had been working on 60's beginning of the year. I saw a bunch of folks...

My VIN is 7850, so ya, probably have two weeks to go before they start on my car.

Ya, got my delivery button on the 5th, but I think it's early. Then I got my VIN by email at 5:30PM PST yesterday, but then again, perhaps it's because I got my delivery button early. I'm guessing they'll switch to 60's in two weeks.

I just got my VIN for my 60: 11/7/12 Reserved 1/25/13 Finalized 3/5/13 Delivery Prompt (original est. 3/12) 3/8/13 VIN 7850 (original est. 3/19) 3/29-4/12 original delivery window (will call tomorrow for an update)

I think they're finishing off an 85 kWh batch and about to switch to 60s. I just got my VIN for my 60: 11/7/12 Reserved 1/25/13 Finalized 3/5/13 Delivery Prompt (original est. 3/12) 3/8/13 VIN 7850 (original est. 3/19) 3/29-4/12 original delivery window (will call tomorrow for an update)

I'm picking up at the factory in Fremont. I did receive an email confirming factory pickup, but nothing else confirming my other answers to the delivery questionnaire. - - - Updated - - - Was it perhaps the VIN reported in this post...

Not yet. They gave me my delivery button early so that I could ask for the front license plate holder to not be installed. I'm supposed to get my VIN assigned 3/19, 10 days before the start of my delivery window.

Got my delivery button today! Funny that I can't review my answers on the site or see it in a confirmation email. Anyway: Sequence #13,571 Reserved on 11/7/12 Invitation to configure on 1/11 Finalized 1/25 Delivery button 2/27 Delivery Window: 3/29 - 4/12 60, White, Pano, Tech, Air Suspension...

I just called again to confirm. "Mac" said that the dates are what's in the system. The configuration is completely buildable with nothing holding it back. He's double checking and emailing some folks in the factory to make sure. I sure hope they find out that they accidentally pushed the dates...

I called today and received an update! So here's the timeline now with estimates: 11/7/12: Reservation complete: "RESERVATION SEQUENCE NUMBER: 13,571" 1/25/13: Order complete: "Your Model S order is on its way to the Tesla Factory" (79 days) 3/12/13: Estimated delivery prompt (46 days) 3/19/13...

"Maybe Broder forgets to feed himself when he's hungry." says my wife matter-of-factly. Delusions from hunger--that would explain a lot.

Help with Delivery Date Estimate I posted this in the 60kWh first email forum, but thought it more appropriate for this forum: For those of you who have been estimating delivery dates far longer than me, what would you estimate mine to be? P13,571, reserved 11/7, order complete 1/25...
