The + over speed limit was always there, but on side-streets the AP was limited to +5 regardless of what you set the TACC to. That was true before Vision, and it'll probably stay true later.

So I haven't been around as much since picking up the car (haven't actually been home much this week), but here's the details of what I ordered, when it was built, when I received: 5/14 - Ordered - MYP Blue/Black 5/21 - Car built 5/28 - Received VIN and the "accept Tesla Vision" button 5/30 -...

That's what I thought. The cars I've had that had a 360 view had cameras on the sides that could literally show the ground next to the front and rear tires...Tesla cameras don't have that level of view.

Can't speak to your model, but that could just be because the Audi implementation is trash - I never used it in my Audi, but I absolutely love it in my Mercedes. I use my mirrors and backup camera more than anything, but the 360 camera is amazing when you drive a big SUV and you're pulling into...

Depends on where you live. Most states they're able to automatically include the full sales tax of your locale, which could be county or city sales tax, but in some places they don't really have the ability because you'll end up paying the tax when you register.

As soon as I accepted the Tesla Vision changes my VIN was in the page. I then called my SA just to mention I got a VIN and the EDD on the page and he scheduled it right away. Then I got an email from Tesla confirming and a robocall this morning (picking up tomorrow)

To be fair: Up until this week they weren't allowed to sell the cars, even the ones on their lots...so the SAs were saying that VINs would be assigned anytime because that's probably what they were being told. This week the VINs finally started to be assigned, so I'd say most people that ordered...

That's...not an accurate understanding of the issue. The NHTSA removed the checkmarks because some of the systems that those things were connected to were removed, but Tesla can re-test the cars at any point and get the checkmarks back (literally in a week they could do it). Those features...

Charge your phone, you monster.

I ordered a MYP Blue/Black on 5/14 and got my VIN this morning, delivery for 5/28-5/31 in the cleveland area. Others are starting to get them as well, so looks like they might have moved on to performance manufacturing already for the period. VIN is 195xxx

For sure. A vast majority are either on a DC lot already or waiting to be shipped from Fremont, already complete. The only thing they're all waiting on is the firmware update to make them ready to sell. That's why things seem all over the place, and it's why pretty much all these orders will be...

Ha thanks! I'll still be around, putting rudeness in its place 🤗

Just got my VIN! MYP Blue/Black, ordered 5/14 in the cleveland area.

Well hello nurse! Woke up this morning and got a VIN! 194xxx Ordered 5/14 - MYP Blue/Black in the cleveland DC

Y You sound like a nightmare to deal with, honestly. The poor dude is telling you exactly what the company that pays him is telling him to tell customers, somebody that has zero control over any of this process, and you're berating him because you can't stand to wait a day or two for a car you...

It's purely that P models are manufactured later in the cycle than LR, that's it. Some Ps have gone out, but the vast majority of the cars shipped over the past month have been LRs, and now as the firmware updates are going out those cars are ready to sell. There are going to be some Ps out...

Agreed with all of that, though multiple States and the Federal government have passed cases to say homeowners can do their own work as long as they're getting the requisite permits, it's up to code, and it's inspected.

That's the only place on the entire internet that's written...Chapter 10 doesn't have anything specific about requiring an electrician to do work in one's own home.

Not sure where you got that code, but it's not accurate. The State of Texas has been very clear about this, as has the Federal government: https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/electricians/exemptions.htm#homeowners EDIT: I should mention that's the Exemption - The Code is for anyone doing electrical work...

I'm betting the Service and Sales systems are entirely segregated, so when the Sales system says "A car is ready - give me a user waiting for this configuration" it doesn't realize that the car has a Service hold placed on it. I'm not saying that's OK, I'm just saying that's probably how it...

No it's not. In the United States they can't prevent you from doing work on your own home, they can only make sure it's up to code if you do. They can require that anyone you hire is licensed, but they can't prevent you from doing your own.

They won't be delivering vehicles with the new batteries or castings until probably Spring 2022 or later. They aren't anywhere close to mass-producing the batteries or castings yet.

I hope this doesn't come across as rude, but you should cancel your order. The fact is Tesla doesn't work like other automotive manufacturers because they don't have Dealerships, so they handle everything from warranty claims to delivery differently. This week is extremely abnormal because...

And I wouldn't disagree with any of that - Being able to do something like this wouldn't make you an electrician. What I'm saying is this type of install, for the vast majority of people, is something they can do with a bit of research. I'd agree that getting a permit and having the city...

No doubt, but it makes sense to do the small amount of research (5 minutes) to see if that is something you think you can do then make the decision instead of just assume you can't and pay someone.

Ya the 14-50 adapter is like $45 or something

To be fair in normal times (not this "waiting for updates to the cars" business) that usually is really quick (like a matter of days). Right now...nobody really knows.

It's definitely not...ease up. I'm encouraging people to do research, not necessarily to just start putzing around with 220/240 lines. Watch some youtube videos, do some internet research, see if it makes you feel comfortable. This stuff is not hard. The honest truth is that if someone can learn...

This. I'm selling my Mercedes GLE back to the dealership I bought it at 2 years ago with only like an 18% loss (pretty insane for a brand-new purchase). Literally 2 signatures and I walk away with a check.

Ya, in reality Radar wasn't used a ton for AP/FSD anyway, it was more used for emergency stuff and extra features (the "what's the car in front of that car doing" situation). I doubt it'll be too long before Vision is in parity. The big question: If you're driving down the road does it ever...

That's...very high. It's incredibly easy to install a NEMA14-50 outlet yourself, the only thing that most people use an electrician for is adding breaks to the box, but the entire process is like...8 minutes. The cost of wire has skyrocketed, but if I wanted to put an outlet right next to my box...

I don't mean to tell you how to spend your money, but it's not like you're doing much work here...even if the process takes 2-3 weeks the only thing you've done for that extra $2k is sign a few papers and be there for them to pick up the car. Convenience is worth a lot to me, and I regularly...

It probably won't matter, unless you can't get a strong signal to the car. Wireless N is about as fast as most receivers are going to be anyway, since they're only usually 2x2 radios (which top out in the ~500Mbps range with no interference, but usually would be more like 250-300Mbps anyway).

MSRP actually doesn't have nearly as much to do with rates as location, driver profile, and availability of parts. That's the biggest one, since parts for an F-150 are hella-cheap (since it's one of the most mass-produced vehicles on the planet), and Tesla sources only its own parts...

No, they give you a 3 day delivery window normally and if you can't make that delivery window that car will usually be re-assigned and they'll try to find you one when you're available (if they can).

I think your SA just threw dates at you with no evidence lol because nobody else pretty-much on the planet has made any kind of firm guestimates, even. Most are saying delivery second-half of June, but that's about as close as they can get.

Elon Musk also thought we'd be rolling robotaxis by now - the reality is the feature he's talking about has no proof in the FSD atm...you can tell because the actual visual cameras are the ones that capture and show the vehicles in front and give them a shape in the screen. What I mean is that...

What? Do you think cars can bounce a radar signal under the car in front of them to see the one in front of that one? And then the signal bounces back somehow? That's...not how radar works at all. Radar only estimates distances by bouncing the signal directly to and back from objects and it...

"Not accepting" is the same as declining. You don't get your car unless you accept. And no, there's no way to get the $100 back - it's a non-refundable payment for ordering the car, regardless of what you do after that or what happens with the order.

But is that for only VINs confirmed the last 24 hours? Because anything before this period doesn't really matter. Let's also remember that people that come to a forum for things do not generally represent the norm - Normal people are far more likely to order standard configurations (which is...

You wrote that in probably the most complicated way you could have. You changed formats halfway through lol

Pretty sure this is a color thing...they seem to produce them in color batches and Blues don't seem to be coming out yet at all. Seems like those might be a bit later in the production cycle.

I mean...you get the option then when you accept it. If you don't want it you're able to cancel at that point, saying you don't want that change.

Probably extremely minor. Radar systems don't actually use as much power as you'd imagine, especially this grade.

I think that Tesla has set the expectation that they do not give out free things for delays, and the like, and they don't really incentive to...they're booking out sales months in advance, which means there's nothing forcing them to do anything about this. If people cancel their cars there are...

It usually is the way you mention - Most of the time the VIN gets assigned during the manufacturing process and you get it at that point, so you can get updates on where it is in the process and know pretty closely when it'll be delivered. This is a very different case than normal, because of...

That's why they give you the choice to decline the change (and not get a new car). You didn't pay for "radar", you paid for intelligent follow/cruise/autopilot systems - If the new system does everything the old system does it doesn't matter how. You're making the decision to purchase this car...

This is definitely not to JetsDad, but I'd make a general caution: Don't get too invested in being "behind" other people, probably by like a day or two. This is a big purchase for most people and it's a huge deal getting a new car, but you have literally years to enjoy this thing...spend this...

Good man lol I was going to say...that kind of discussion sounds like that relationship might not last as long as the car 🤣
