+1000. Also describe what is exactly changing BEFORE it is installed rather than showing 'What's new' AFTER it is already there and no option for rollback. I am tired of new SW breaking stuff.

I do it every Wed after trash pick up. I have long driveway and simply put can in the trunk and drive with trunk open. And I generally *hate* electronics that thinks it is smarter than me so it forbids me from doing what I want with a thing I fully own. :smile:

I don't go over on highways anyway, typically just go with traffic, never over 70. It's 25mph zones I am concerned with. I haven't had moving violation ticket in 16 years.

Fixed it today in 1 min: put a piece of electric tape over lower edge of the seat belt opening on the B pillar. I actually used black tape, it is not really visible under the seat belt. I guess teflon tape would work even better (can be found at Amazon).

I followed steps and installed 8500ci today (no laser stuff as I don't really need it). The entire process was pretty simple and took less than 2 hours.

I tried V1 and it sort of works but sensitivity is greatly reduced. I just connected V1 to 12V power and drove around checking signals from automatic doors and stationary speed displays. I know how far V1 used to pick them in BMW so I could compare. V1 works, but sensitivity probably 30%-50% or...

2K Xpel film full hood, fenders, lights, door edges and rear bumper. Since Tesla refunding me $995 its fine.

Apparently paint armor option offered at $995 does not protect lights. And if you want to upgrade, local installers count Tesla option as only $300 (that's how much Tesla pays them to install paint armor option). I was apparently lucky that paint armor was not installed at the factory and...

Metropolitan Detail quoted full wrap at $7200. I think one can repaint the entire car for that money. Wrap doesn't change resell value either. I had partial cover on my last two cars and frankly it was not worth it really.

Tried lossless AAC today - car does NOT play them. It sees files, reads data and album art, but then says "Cannot play this song". Will try MP3s later. Also, car does not recognize 64GB stick formatted as exFAT. Only regular FAT works. Interestingly enough Mac can format stick as MS-DOS FAT, but...

Got my car couple days ago. I ordered Sound Studio and I am pretty picky about the sound. All my music is lossless and I own 3+ high end systems of various caliber. Anyway - Studio sounds pretty good for the factory system. Quite a bit better than BMW Logic 7 for example. I'd call sound as...

3/1 finalized 4/7 got delivery window 4/19-5/2 VIN showed up 4/12 DS emailed that car is in Seattle 4/15 Picking up 4/22

I believe in some states it is prohibited by law. I remember same situation years ago when I was buying a car and dealership only accepted a check

Finalized 3/1, 85KWh, delivery window 4/19-5/3

This happens every year in regular cars. First model year leather or nav or parking sensors or whatever are options, in the next year or two they become standard. Happens all the time.

Dahon also makes nice foldable bikes. I can fit two in my current BMW 535 wagon *without* folding rear seats Dahonbikes:Jack D8 Dahonbikes:Espresso D21

Tesla might be doing things as required by law. I'd love to take delivery in CA, visit my friends living down there and drive car up to WA. However, I won't be doing it since CA collects sales tax at the point of delivery and even that I am not going to register car in CA I'd still have to pay...

Ignore Solar they are waaay overbooked. I got 4-6 weeks window from them. Local electrician did all the work for $300 in 2 days.

Yeah main page says 50K miles - - - Updated - - - If you keep $1900 invested you'll likely get more than $2400 in 4 years.

Errrh $700 for 12500 miles of 19" wheels and tire protection (aka 1 year or typical daily driving)? I paid less for 3 years when leasing BMW 5er... REPLACEMENTS AND WHEEL REPAIRS MADE WITHOUT THE ADMINISTRATOR’S PRIOR...

Does anyone know factory amplifier location?

Boo... my reservation is 19282 and I still didn't get anything...

None of the houses i owned had fires so i am going to drop home insurance. And local fire brigade will surely come in less than 5 minutes in case something happens... Same logic? :-) Even if truck comes, if I have children in the car will truck have space for them? Is it even legal to get kids...

I upgraded exactly this way 2 weeks after finalizing. Was told be rep that Tesla likes upgrades.

I'd say doubling range is unlikely. Li-Ion is known technology that has been in use for 10+ years. It is probably at the max capacity. Something new has to come (Zinc-Air most probably) and it may or may not be ready for mass production in 5 years. Besides, there is no real reason to double...

After some reading about actual range, charging stations etc I decided to check if I can upgrade to 85KWh. I finalized 3/1. And what do you know - Tesla was happy to change my order to 85Kwh without changing delivery times. I dropped HPWC and twin chargers and since supercharging is included...

Why do you need twin chargers then? I switched from 60 to 85 b/c it includes supercharging (so that's minus 2K) and dropped HPWC and twin chargers since I probably will never need to recharge 60 miles/hr in a hurry at home. Public stations mostly limited to 30A anyway. And second charger is...

This is not entirely true. I reserved 2/15, finalized 3/1 and delivery is end of April. They told me car will be assembled 2nd week of April. So for general production it is more like 2.5 months.

60kwh, blue, air, pano, tech, sound. Finalized 3/1 was told by Tesla car will be build 2nd week of April. Res 19282

Well he has reservation 4000 earlier and you are getting car before him...

Well I drive 30 miles a day and for longer trips I typically need AWD anyway (skiing etc). I took 60k and supercharger since i think with charging networks growing range wont matter as much in 5 years but speed of charging will matter still. For instance you probably didnt calculate how far you...

Actually this is a pretty legal question, if you rephrase it a bit. Question is not really about CD vs USB but rather if it is possible to have two separate sources of material. For example in my current BMW I have my IPod connected and I typically listen to an audiobook. However when i ride...

60kwh reserved 2/15 finalized 3/1 - 19282 - I was told that production is April

$100 amplifier has same flat frequency response as $1000 amplifier. The latter just sounds better :-) Besides frequency response time alignment, phase errors and speaker distortions especially at crossover points matter quite a bit. In my BMW 535 I replaced speakers and connected OEM L7 output...

Frankly, I wouldn't recommend it. Yong person driving expensive car just does not look right unless you are a pop star, really run your own successful business, inherited tons of money or something like that. Otherwise in the eyes of other people (that includes your boss or *decent* girl) you'll...

Hello all Had anyone electrical work done on their Model S? I am looking for parking sensors install, radar detector wiring and audio upgrade. I am handy enough to do the work myself (I replaced all stock speakers by Morel, installed JBL MS-8 and amplifier in my current BMW E61 on top of Logic7...

Last time i checked there was no 160gb iPhone. But there is iPod classic. My music collection is over 300gb. Besides it is much more convenient to have permanently attached device rather than connect and disconnect iPhone all the time.
