It’s configurable in the mcu but the guy I asked about it never responded. I’ve seen one case of it being successfully retrofitted but lack the ability to change the vehicle config myself.

You can just ask tesla for part number 1607360-00-G. They had it ready for me in a couple of weeks.

So it was never free then? That's unfortunate. I doubt that guy would provide his full invoice as they'd probably just ask for 2k from him if he did. At least one of use (supposedly) got it for free. I think the steam deck comparison or gaming pc comparison falls flat a bit for me. It's just...

Very nice! I hope this helps future people get it for free. Too late for me I'm afraid. The people over on reddit would eat this up.

Sterling, VA

My brain must autocorrect for the latency, as I can't see it. I'm still holding out for a screen retrofit. I have the motors just can't enable the configuration in the gateway.

Had the retrofit done, still need to replace the ethernet controller at some point. It runs amazing! No input lag, I think maybe something is wrong with yours William. I know what 100 ms of latency is and mine does not have it at all. Used a t7 2tb I had lying around doing nothing and found...

Not my main car, driven mostly by family so I'm not sure. No tidal or anything that takes up extra space that I'm aware of though.

Same here, firmware upgrade issues they say will be solved by an ethernet module. Guess this explains why people were so adamant that refresh had ethernet connection but mine never did haha.

Meant steam internal disk, know that from the steam disk page.

I don't think it's possible. Besides opening up their computer which I'm sure nobody has done. I know our x has an internal disk size of 64 GB which is 20GB lower than the one pictured. We can only extrapolate so much from that limited info.

Steam is just a vm with allocated resources. It's virtual disk is much smaller than the overall 256GB. Same with the ram, steam will report it only has 8GB of ram. I've had people say that they have 128GB nvme with steam support so there may be some unique configurations out there like that.

I don't like the sound of that. Hopefully you see it soon. Be a shame to shell out 2k and them being like "it's a configuration change we can't do" or something.

Try sterling. They're hooking me up. $2100 though.

$2100 for me. I figure since I bought the car before the price hikes I can justify it. It seems a lot of people just don't care about steam so they probably don't lose out, but it's a game-changer for my use case. They'll probably lower the price in the future like they did with MCU2, which...

Okay this is perfect! Another thing I'm kinda worried about is the connector, although I might just cut the one I got out of my car for science, I'm hesitant as maybe they'll allow us to modify the gateway ourselves one day? My reasoning behind an Arduino is I'd be able to make it bluetooth...

It's part number 1607360-00-G. You can just ask the service center for that part and it will be ready in some time. Took them 2 weeks and I just went and picked it up. The part cost me $95 total.

They just messaged me saying they cannot change the vehicle configuration. Seems ultra strange to me that there is no way to reconfigure the vehicles gateway, maybe one day somebody can root the system so we can actually access the vehicles config. If anybody is familiar with electric motors...

I have the part, installed it, and of course software didn't recognize it. Unfortunately these motors are not so simple. They have 4 contacts, 2 for power, 2 for something I can't figure out as I'm not too experience with electric motors. I imagine an arduino could drive it easily, but I'm...

I managed to get the part, attach the connectors, but the car did not recognize the new hardware, even with a full power off removing the 12 volt battery. I just got a software update today, so I'm gonna plug the motors in and do the update. Maybe the car will detect the motors then, otherwise...

I'm waiting for the Witcher 3, been itching to play that all the way through again.

Finally got my car! Didn't want to post any updates to jinx it. Exterior is perfect as far as I can tell. Interior has some slight blemishes that I'm sure some cleaning solution can improve. Ridiculously fast car, never experienced anything like it. Definitely worth the wait!

Well my delivery date is now August 24-28. My VIN is basically meaningless lol. Who cares if I'm just getting shafted as if I don't have one? At this point I'm keeping the reservation due to the 10k discount. Emailed my SA, who has given up, and he just directed my to...

Whelp my delivery estimate got pushed 2 WEEKS. I have a Vin as well, which has just been sitting in the misfit lot. Not sure car exists, not sure what's happening. SA seems to think he knows but I doubt. If they let me I'm going to fly to Fremont and pick up the dang thing myself. Been...

Hey I understood that reference! Congrats! Hopefully the flood don't mob your SC.

Haha I think we're neighbors! I've seen you drive around. If you see a MSM 75d that's me.

Woo-hoo! Good to hear. Now there's no reason not to ship mine from Fremont 😏 Enjoy your car!

Wow that's the first 437 I've seen, must be coming right off the line! Good to see they're still making plaids.

Your signature describes my life right now 😅

Wow your reddit post made it to electrek. Tesla puts new Model S deliveries on hold, and it’s unclear why

I was unable to see any text, IDK if it was removed or awaiting moderation like I suspect. I've heard teslamotors subreddit is pretty strict when it comes to posting. Couple of others that you'll likely get a huge response from is /r/RealTesla (Biased against tesla) and /r/TeslaInvestorsClub...

Hopefully that will get the ball rolling, does it need to be approved by a moderator first? If it never gets approved try TeslaLounge, they seem to be a bit more laid back.

Yup I was content to wait until August for carbon fiber but the SA called and said "We could get your car to you earlier if you switch to wood." I was hooked, believed in June delivery, yet here we are with my delivery date in August anyway...

Interesting, definitely something warranting a delivery hold. Hopefully it's software interaction with the new microcontrollers they used to bypass the chip shortage. That should be easily fixed with software updates. If it's the microcontrollers themselves though we are in for a long wait...

Well it's worse for me as they have to ship it across the country after they've fixed the problem with it. Yours is at the delivery center (you lucky man) so as soon as they fix it it's yours.

Throwing my name in the hat as affected by this. Looks like they won't even ship my car until they figure this out. SA seems to be in the dark and is confident the delivery date of August 3rd is accurate despite it slipping from an initial date of July 16th. Hope you all get your cars soon!

Funny you should mention Witcher 3, I name all my Teslas Roach.

Well I officially know one of the cars just sitting there at Fremont is mine. SA replied to my inquiry on where my car is specifically, seems to think that it will get to the delivery center on August 3rd. I sure hope he is right, but last week he claimed July 27th at latest. I can only hope...

I hope you are right. Maybe they'll finally add the Witcher and Cyberpunk. That would be a nice surprise for delivery.

Same here, hang in there.

Whelp EDD got pushed another week to July 30th-August 3rd this morning, from July 22-26. Guess letting my SA know I was watching the per day push just made him change to a weekly push. I got the VIN, car is produced, but they seem to refuse to send it here. 😑

Yup I've been having that for the past 10 days now. Torture is an accurate term for it.

What's your config?

Whelp asked by SA and he confirmed car has finished production, and they are working to deliver the car to Virginia (Where I live). Seems to confirm by proxy that they have started moving the car, though the specific wording of the email seems ambiguous. Hopefully the logistics team can get it...

According to this the last 5 are the serial number: TeslaTap Vin Decoder

I have a plaid before the price increase so it's even worse lol. But honestly the hype has died down for me, so once the check expires so does my interest.

Configuration is Plaid Blue/Black/Wood with 21 inch wheels. Vin suggests it's been built already as the fourth last digit is 3. I'll see if I can figure out my signature. I'm new here. Thanks, I'm holding tight for now but I don't think it should take 2-3 weeks to ship the car across the...

Whelp I got a VIN about 9 days ago and the initial delivery date was June 16-20 at the time. Now every day it increments by one, up to June 22-26 now. SA just replied via email 21-25 yesterday... but that's what the website said yesterday. May have to cancel if I don't get the car by August...

Hey yall, VIN twice removed here. Just got another! Delivery estimate July 14th. I can finally rest. No way they'll take a VIN from me a third time right? RIGHT?😭

Yes it is, thanks. I'll get my car eventually probably (maybe(hopefully)) 😅 In any case enjoy yours! The monkey has been generous to you as they say around here.
