    Firmware 4.5

    Now you know why I was an engineer not an English major!! :)

    Firmware 4.5

    I guess I would qualify...41 years in acoustic signal processing. We use to pay millions of dollars for systems that did LESS than the spectrum analyzer I used on the Android phone. BTW, these systems weighted 500 pounds and used 4KW of power. All hail Moore's law!!!

    Firmware 4.5

    I have 4.5 (1.33.44) and have definitely noticed the constant fan noise even with the car OFF. I took some spectrograms using my Android phone using SpectralPro Analyzer. Who knew your phone could become an acoustic spectrum analyzer for a couple of bucks!! The first spectrogram (Vertical...

    Phone App: Android Beta Version introduced!

    Nav System: Mileage for Address Search

    It would be nice if the first mileage given was the same as the second or if was labeled as "Direct Distance". The "as the crow flies" mileage is of little interest when your in a car... maybe when you're hiking... sorry about the first title. It sure didn't seem right to me when I first...

    Nav System: Mileage for Address Search

    Thanks, I thought that might be the case. My Tom-Tom doesn't behave that way so I was a little surprised.

    Nav System: Mileage for Address Search

    Observed a strange behavior...I did an address search in NAV and when the results popped up it gave a very low mileage number (29.5 miles), but when I selected it for navigation the correct mileage (66 miles) appeared. Here are pictures of the two screens... Anybody else noticed this? The car...

    Warranty/Servicing - official Tesla responses (incl GeorgeB)

    To me knowing my maintenance costs and the security of 24/7 roadside assistance and towing is WELL worth $1.64/day!! Guys we're buying some very new technology it will be a few years before they know how these cars hold up under actual use. I feel much better after George's explaination...

    Todd Burch's Delivery (S)tory

    Got word I should get it Friday! Hope this is the first promise not broken ;) Looking forward to a little road trip on Saturday to Manassas...I-95 should allow some 'testing'. 9pm Thursday Update: Nothing...silence. Tesla really needs to get some viable tracking method setup so they can...

    Todd Burch's Delivery (S)tory

    I hadn't heard about the leather holding anything up...but who knows. Did you have fun getting it inspected? I assume it was a novelty...I'm a little worried because I know they pull wheels to inspect brakes. Don't want to them damage it when they jack it up and use the air wrench.

    Todd Burch's Delivery (S)tory

    "A total of 3 delivery windows were missed: Original date of Nov, Delivery window of Dec. 7-21, verbal delivery date of Saturday or Sunday, and finally the last window (Sunday/Monday) was met. My car sat in Fremont ready for shipment much longer than it should have. Reservation holders in my...

    Model S Delivery Dates and Sequencing

    I guess they have forgotten about little old P14!!! I've not heard a peep from them#@!%$@
  23. XK8driver

    I'm a Production, and here's my story (Sublimaze1 - P188)

    I'm P14 and have not heard anything since I signed the MVA and was given a "Nov/Dec" delivery. I want the car done right so I'll continue to wait, but it is frustrating to hear about higher P numbers getting finalized delivery dates!

    World Map of Model S Reservation Holders

    Robert, could you update my map entry to show P40 (King George, VA) going to P14? Somehow I got bumped up through attribution or Signature upgrades ...thanks!

    Latest "Finalize your order" date

    I also received mine.....P-14!!!
  27. XK8driver

    How long have you been waiting? (when did you reserve?)

    I ordered in the first few minutes in March 2009 and was orginally P40, but now have moved to P14...probably not getting a delivery until Nov or Dec...it's been a long wait!!

    Latest "Finalize your order" date

    I just received a note back from Tesla responding to my apparent move from P40 to P14 in "My Garage". I was told I would receive my invitation email in the next 1-2 weeks....Yea!!

    Model S: Clever Vanity Plates

    Went with "LI ION" on a mini-van until the S arrives (P-40)...Most people think it means LION. Only one guy knew enough chemistry to guess it correctly...

    Is that a Model S in the Hankook Tire Commercial?

    Yes, That is the commercial and now that I can pause it on the computer I think its a Maserati Quattroporte...thanks for finding that....

    Is that a Model S in the Hankook Tire Commercial?

    Had to use Tivo a few times, but it seems like they used a Model S in the latest Hankook tire ad. Saw it on the Discovery channel last night...anybody else see it??:smile:
