My iPhone 15 Pro Max charges wirelessly with no problems, but I don't want my phone to charge all the time. So I just place the phone in a horizontal position in that phone area, and it works without activating wireless charging and does not fall.

I am skeptical of ability to retrofit. The tilting main display in the Model S refresh did not come out until a year after the vehicles were delivered, and Tesla rejected retrofitting the tilt motor at an extra cost even though the wiring was in place for a tilt display.

Congratulations! Do you have a build date on your car? It should be in the decal affixed to the driver side door sill.

My order date is Jan 5, 2024. It still says delivery estimate is Jan - Feb 2024.

My software version is 2021.43.201.

It has been 4 days since I picked up my car, and have driven it about 300 miles. Here are some observations: 1) I don't have FSD. The autopilot works fine when staying in the same lane, and it automatically cancels when I use the turn signals or move to another lane without using turn signals...

The vents move air upwards in the vent area. I haven't found a way to attach a phone mount to that area. However, the wireless phone charger pads work great, and the phone just stays there, charges and does not fall off even under insane acceleration. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max without any...

Yes, there is a cigarette lighter socket between the 2 USB-C ports under the cupholders in the console. That is the only way to use an older USB-A phone charging cable with a lighter USB adapter since all other ports are USB-C.

Yes it came with the car.

Just picked up my car. There was a bit of a wait at the service center because there were 2 more customers waiting to pick up their vehicles. It was a smooth pickup process. Car is in great shape, and no flaws for me to nitpick about. The "worm" in the yoke is there, but it is barely visible...

Here is a great Tesla factory tour with a lot of detail and sophisticated automation. I had not seen this video before, and looks like Tesla has a lot more manufacturing robots than the ones I saw during a visit to Ford’s factory tour in Dearborn, MI a few years ago. Surprised at the number of...

I decided to use DCU as well, and the process was smooth. There are these details to pay attention to for anyone financing through them: 1) They use Equifax. Remove any credit freezes on your Equifax account so they can pull your credit before you submit your loan application. Otherwise there...

My EDD now reduced to a 3 day delivery window after getting a VIN yesterday.

Just got my VIN about an hour ago! NF469. RN1151, June 8 order date. White/Cream/19"/No FSD to Philadelphia area. Current EDD is Feb 7 - Feb 21.

I have the same build configuration as your car and my EDD moved to Feb 7 - Feb 21. First 2 week window in my EDD history!

On a slightly different note, other companies are also facing similar supply and demand problems, but adopt much more proactive steps than Tesla to keep customers informed. I ordered a refrigerator directly from Samsung 2 months ago that was backordered until February. I get an email every week...

I stopped at the Devon SC yesterday. The guy I spoke with said the white/cream is a popular combination, but he was very condescending and just gave canned responses to my questions about my order status. My expectations of the guys there were floor level to begin with and the guy did not...

I hear you, and I am in the same boat as you. Have courage my friend. But I am also bracing for more insanity from Tesla because this is not over until I drive the car out of the SC lot. If it is any consolation, 2022 is pronounced as 2020 too! 😊

The clowns at consumer reports now say that the Corvette Stingray is the fastest 0-60 mph car. It is December 2021, and they are still comparing the Model S 75D to other 2021 models, and it came in at 10th in their list of fastest cars. The credibility of the moron CR testers is now down the...

I want to smoke what the NHTSA is smoking. They are ignoring the dumb yoke and focusing on video games in their pursuit of "safety".

My EDD just got pushed back as well to Jan 11-Feb 8. RN1511, white/cream/19”, no fsd, June order date.

Make it 3 of us with fingers crossed. I have the same config.

Beautiful car and a gorgeous light color interior. You have been an ever present member in these forums. Please don’t go away, and post some updates on your learning curve with the yoke. Don’t know about the others here, but I sure will enjoy reading those updates!

I called the 888 corporate number, and was routed to a rep in their New Jersey location. She said they have several Plaid models available now for pickup if anyone is tired of waiting and is OK with the Plaid upgrade. Disappointing part is that Plaid models only ship with summer tires. Tesla...

For what it is worth, my EDD also changed after holding constant for more than 6 weeks. Nov 18-Dec 8 Dec 9 - Dec 31 to Philadelphia metro area. White, cream interior, 19" wheels, RN11511xxxx, order date June 8, 2021.

All models received a price increase yesterday. Model S LR base price is up by $5,000 to $94,990. Plaid price remains the same.

Not content with moving just our EDDs, Tesla is also moving … their HQ to Austin, TX.

I agree. I am waiting since June as well. To save anyone from thumbing through 536 pages in this forum, here is a summary of what I have learned from others regarding the Model S, in no particular order: 1) EDDs are nonsensical. They pretty much don't mean anything until a VIN is obtained. 2)...

Wow, the all season tires have pretty bad reviews on tire rack.

Question for those who have taken delivery: Will your phone tip over and fall down during hard acceleration or during turns when you place it on the wireless charger in the center console? What holds it in place there?

Beautiful car and pics! Congratulations!!

We have a 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Plug In Hybrid that comes out of the factory with enough artificially induced noise to wake up the dead when backing up, and when moving forward at less than 15 mph. Mercifully, it was super easy to disable this annoyance by removing a fuse that is dedicated to...

Is there any way to disable that pedestrian safety sound feature? I hate that induced artificial sound, especially when most newer gas powered and hybrid vehicles are just as quiet as a Tesla when backing up, but don't have that added noise.

How do you like the car and the yoke, now that you have had the car for a couple weeks? I usually get over the initial excitement of a new car after about 2 weeks, so some real world feedback is greatly appreciated, especially when driving around on PA roads. Do you still smile/grin when you get...

For those who have taken delivery, is the yoke heated when needed during winter months?

I learn something new every day on this forum. Thanks for posting this. I don't have my car yet, but the knowledge bank keeps growing.

Too funny! I raise my hand as well. Thanks for the chuckle 😊

Question for anyone who has already taken delivery: Is there a way to mount your phone to a phone holder that attaches to an air-vent in the car? This is with the intention of using Waze in an easily visible phone in the line of sight, as opposed to placing the phone on the wireless charger in...

The wheel looks great to me with the cover removed, but I see how the black lug nut covers would make the wheels look even better. The question is, is the hub cap there to streamline the airflow around the tires, and maximize the battery range? Is your range impacted with the covers removed?

Thanks for posting this. Can you please confirm if the yoke can tilt and telescope like a normal steering wheel? If so, is it easy to find a comfortable position for it? The consumer reports article that came out today makes a few references to painful hands after driving with the yoke, and I...

Your car looks wicked gorgeous! Congratulations!!

Yes the web site will revise the order agreement immediately and show it without FSD, and the old 79.9k base price remains unchanged. It also emailed the revised order agreement to me.

Thanks for the update, and no need to apologize. We all know the SAs don't really mean what they say most of the time.

I just removed FSD from the "manage" page of my order a few minutes ago. I had ordered in June before the $10k increase, and removing FSD did not trigger the new price adjustment. I was nervous about activating the new price, but all was good with my new configuration without the FSD and it held...

Noticed you are in the Philadelphia area. Did someone at the Devon service center arrange for the AS tire swap, if so can you please PM me the name of that person so I can work with him/her when I take delivery on my order? I am waiting for delivery sometime in November and don't want to be...

For those who have taken delivery of the LR, is SiriusXM receiver included in the car and does it work well?

I got the apology email as well. EDD is now October 30 - November 19. First time I see a date range instead of either blank or month name. Looks promising now. LR/19"/White/Cream/FSD/RN 15111/June 8 order.

This is something I had never heard of. Rodents are chewing up wiring in Tesla cars because of soybean insulation. Rodents chow down on Teslas, causing thousands in damage

Maybe someone mentioned this already. Tesla has increased the price of the Model S LR by $5k and the base price is now $84,990. Something to smile for us who ordered and are waiting for delivery.
