    Who here is going to lose 3G Connectivity - Feb 2022 when it sunsets?

    That's what I'm curious about -- whether others only received notification within the last week or so (which, again, wouldn't have been an issue provided that they had the supply to install the modems before the 2/22 deadline). Not sure about the posting issue, but it makes sense to me that it...

    Who here is going to lose 3G Connectivity - Feb 2022 when it sunsets?

    I am aware (now) of the notification. Is your point that for all products and services we purchase, we should scour the manufacturer or service provider's website for updates that may or may not be relevant to the products or services we purchase? I received a direct-to-customer communication...

    Who here is going to lose 3G Connectivity - Feb 2022 when it sunsets?

    It actually is news to me. I guess I buy phones frequently enough that it's never an issue. So strike that assumption from your post. To the next statement, yes, good thing Tesla reminded me as it would be incredibly disappointing come 2/22 to get in my car and find out that none of the...

    Who here is going to lose 3G Connectivity - Feb 2022 when it sunsets?

    Thanks to Tesla for telling me only a week ago that I'm losing my connectivity on 2/22 in my 2013 Model S P85+ and need a new modem for all applications requiring the Internet. I immediately schedule an appointment and the earliest they have is 2/18. No big deal...but now with supply issues...

    Plaid Edition Model S to Get Seven Seats, Production Starts Late 2020

    Ordinarily, I would agree 100%, but there is so much pressure on something big coming out of their flagship vehicles in the short term for a variety of reasons, I do think that this variant may be getting the priority it deserves from a delivery timing perspective (evidenced by testing at the...

    Model S range and interior update imminent?

    Per his tweet, looks like the rear facing seats will be part of the "Plaid variant". Too bad it's looking like we'll have to wait over a year for it to go into production, but looking forward to it!

    Charge Port Door Magnet Detached

    Update: So, after a two week wait, a mobile technician came out and replaced the charge port door . . . or at least so I think, because the following morning, the door popped open again with the magnet stuck on it. Scheduled another service appointment on the mobile app. Soonest appointment...

    Motor Trend names Model S Ultimate COTY

    I'm in the same boat, and I do love having the free supercharging when we do take road trips.

    Motor Trend names Model S Ultimate COTY

    It's black, and very well taken care of. I'll post it on here if I do end up going the sell route in the future. The only reason I'd plan to trade it in is if they offer a deal like they did with Raven -- e.g., free ludicrous mode for existing owners.

    Motor Trend names Model S Ultimate COTY

    I've been thinking about swapping out my 2013 MS P85+ with a new MS for sometime now, but it's as enjoyable and low maintenance to drive now as it was when I purchased it six years ago. With all the back and forth about pending "refreshes," (however you want to define it) and various issues...

    Charge Port Door Magnet Detached

    So as to prevent any potential claims that anything I do myself violates extended service agreement coverage, I'm asking them how much it would cost for THEM to simply re-adhere the magnet to the charge port door (which is otherwise in fine shape).

    Charge Port Door Magnet Detached

    The magnet just became detached from the charge port door of my 2013 MS P85+. (Not the first time.) Tesla responded that because it's "covered" under my extended service agreement, they can swap out the entire charge port door . . . for payment of the $200 deductible. Gee, thanks.

    Let me know if you find a quality installer with a system that is compatible with Powerwalls and I will do the same.

    Solar for flat-roofed home in NY

    Well, it's not just the Northeast anymore. Include sunny, low-rain Phoenix (and everywhere else) now. After several months of back and forth with submitting electric usage info and two on-site assessments, I was just informed that they are declining to perform the installation. After an email...

    Arachnids... Who is waiting?

    No idea whether there's any correlation, but when news of the Model S powertrain, suspension, etc. updates came out a couple of weeks ago, I discussed a potential purchase with a Tesla sales advisor and he confirmed (to my chagrin) that Arachnid wheels are no longer available as an off-the-menu...

    No more Decor options?

    Fwiw, the Tesla gallery sales rep. I spoke with a couple of days ago told me, unequivocally, that the sunroof is no longer an available option.

    No more Decor options?

    From what I was told by a Tesla gallery sales rep. who just looked into it on my behalf within the last couple of days, carbon fiber trim is still available as an off-the-menu item (at least with the black interior). However, the following are not available on- or off-the-menu: (1) rear-facing...

    Model S range and interior update imminent?

    Correct. Other than no reference to interior refresh - which could come within the next few months if rumors turn out to be true -- this was unequivocally stated in yesterday's release. From the last line: "These changes will go into production at our factory in Fremont, California this week...

    That's for sure, but I know it just goes with the territory... I hope everyone looking for a P car finds a great one! I've certainly loved mine for the past over five and a half years!

    P85+ prices

    Yeah, just seven months ago Tesla offered $42,600 to trade-in. A 37% drop since then. Ouch.

    P85+ prices

    Thanks, all. The reason I'm asking is I'm thinking about ordering an upgraded S per yesterday's announcement. (I know the interior refresh is "imminent" but I'm less interested in that as I am with the powertrain and suspension upgrades and free ludicrous mode.) I guess Tesla is already...

    P85+ prices

    I'm considering listing for sale (rather than trading in) my 2013 Tesla Model S P85+, but am having a difficult time filtering through various sites to get a sense for what would be a reasonable asking price relative to a P85 and P85D. Other than doing a "P85+" search on this forum (the few...

    Did you feel that? The rapid acceleration of depreciation of your P85

    I'm not sure how your calculated 32% hit (by comparing the price of a new vehicle to the trade-in value of a one year old vehicle) is relevant. Nevertheless, it's apples to oranges when comparing to the 33% hit I referenced (calculated by determining the percentage decrease from the purchase...

    Did you feel that? The rapid acceleration of depreciation of your P85

    Perhaps I'm way off the mark here - and anyone with personal experience please chime in - but I would be very surprised if an owner went to MB, BMW, etc. with his/her [excellent condition, low mileage] one year old car desiring to upgrade to a new car from the same manufacturer, that that owner...

    Did you feel that? The rapid acceleration of depreciation of your P85

    Just got a call back from Tesla Motors regarding proposed trade-in value for my 12 month old, 8800 mile, excellent condition (no dings, dents, scratches, etc.) paint protective film and opti-coated P85+. Subject to visual inspection and possible reductions as a consequence thereof, they are...

    A snippet from a recent post, the points within which, I think are very good ones. Well written, AnxietyRanger.

    Did you feel that? The rapid acceleration of depreciation of your P85

    I decided to call Tesla NA Sales directly and they confirmed that trading in a Tesla is handled differently than other vehicles. They (Tesla, not AutoNation) put together the trade-in quote.

    Did you feel that? The rapid acceleration of depreciation of your P85

    Will do, thanks. I saw the "value your trade-in" link, but figured it would just send the data to their partner, AutoNation.

    Did you feel that? The rapid acceleration of depreciation of your P85

    Now is the time I really wish Tesla had an internally managed, robust trade-in program. For a $15K-$20K swing (which perhaps could be possible working with Tesla directly), I would seriously consider upgrading from my almost fully loaded, now one year old p85+ to the P85D. The difference in...

    Firmware 6.0

    Yes, I do have a P85+. Your thought is one I've had as well.

    Firmware 6.0

    My experience reported in this thread is focused on regen without cruise control in the mix. My use of cruise control post-6.0 install has been too infrequent for me to comfortably detail any conclusions on that just yet.

    Firmware 6.0

    When it comes to opinions, personally, I draw the line and don't go beyond what I see or feel with my particular car and driving experiences. I don't make any assumptions and certainly don't offer any conclusions about others' experiences evidenced by anecdotal descriptions, because I...

    Firmware 6.0

    In terms of whether there is an appreciable difference between regen pre- and post-6.0, obviously both sides can agree to disagree. What's unfortunate, in my opinion, is the responses from those who are so willing to conclude that any different effect "is in one's head" or "is a placebo...

    Firmware 6.0

    Purely anecdotal evidence, I admit, but: Since 6.0, I've been nailing my regen "stopping" in normal day to day driving (i.e., decreasing from normal driving speed to 5mph using only regen, importantly, at a pace where I don't feel like the car behind me is going to be riding up on me and...

    It is so. It appears that white stitching was also used in the photos of the console on the Tesla site.

    Drop-In Center Console now in the Tesla Model S online store

    If the connector came out just a tad more, it would work; but I guess the issue is that the "bezel" created by a case is of varying width depending on the case itself and the only way to ensure that the phone sits flush and secure on the floor and against the back panel is to design the charging...

    Drop-In Center Console now in the Tesla Model S online store

    For quality pics, I can tell you that the ones on the shop.teslamotors site accurately depict the just-released version. In any event, here are some admittedly low-quality pics that I took with my phone earlier. - - - Updated - - - Not without removing the bottom segment of the case.

    Drop-In Center Console now in the Tesla Model S online store

    Well, there are several others who paid some time ago and are still waiting for theirs, so I'd imagine that they'll be ahead in terms of install. Fingers crossed that at least the fact that they're taking orders again means that we'll be seeing some activity soon.

    Warning Message "Car Needs Service Call Tesla Service"

    Add me to the list. I received the alert late this afternoon and drove straight to the service center. Cooling pump replacement is planned, but they said I could drive the car until the part is delivered. There's apparently a backlog and after reading other recent posts, I can surmise as to...

    slacker in 5.9

    I'm having the same issues, i.e., song on start up often cuts out and there's also an increase in songs cutting out mid drive. Slacker in 5.9 is definitely the worst performing for me since buying the car. That said, it's just an annoyance at this point and I haven't taken the car into the SC...

    Car keeps telling me to “Add a Wi-Fi Connection”

    How is your exterior protected?

    If it was an option, I would select: Partial paint protection film (it's not Xpel) + Opticoat.
