    Model S delivery delayed.

    I am similar. Placed my Model S LR order in early Apr 2021 with original EDD of Jul/Aug ‘21, then Oct ‘21, then Dec ‘21, then Feb ‘22, then Jul ‘22, then (finally moving in the right direction…) Apr 17-May 15 of ‘22. But here we are on Apr 4 and still no VIN number.

    Annual Service - is the "hardware upgrade" dream finally dead?

    At what VIN (approx) did they swap the vents? It is just starting to get cooler in the mornings here and since this is the first autumn since I got mine, I have noticed the defroster doesn't work the same as my old Honda Accord. Just wondering what my reference point should be...

    Supercharger - Greenville, SC

    Well...we've decided to cancel our road trip that would have taken us through Greenville - not entirely because of the lack of progress on the 3 Superchargers along our route that would have made it possible for a 100% Supercharger trip (South Hill, VA; Charlotte, NC; and Greenville, SC), but it...

    Urban EV owners (at least in Philly) can subsidize their own street EV charging spot

    I thought this was an interesting development, one which, if replicated in enough urban areas could help spread EV adoption. I've had a number of friends who live in condos/apartments in the New York City area who have told me they'd love to own a Tesla, but aren't sure where they'd charge it...

    Supercharger - Hays, KS

    My parents sent me this photo last night from the Hays, KS Supercharger location. They are on a road trip and, after driving my Model S last weekend, have started paying attention to all things Tesla, so they were really excited to send this to me. They also claimed that the CEO of Applebee's...

    UK Model S Launch Event - a few photos

    Don't know if people have seen this article yet, but I thought it was pretty good. The author mixes up miles with Wh/mi when describing his remaining range after his test drive, but that got me to wondering why they have a different rated miles range for the UK...(see photos in the article)...

    My Tesla: nickname your Model S

    Does the "Payment" page ever go away (or at least not be the first thing that pops up when I log in to My Tesla)? I am well aware of what I spent on the car, but if I happen to log in with someone else around, or if I want to get into the My Documents section of the site to pull up a file (I...

    Supercharger - Greenville, SC

    Uh oh... I'm starting to get nervous about our planned family-of-five road trip from PA to northern GA (about 60 miles south of Greenville off of I-85) coming up the second week of July. Where it starts to get dicey is on the Glen Allen, VA to Burlington, NC stretch, since there's been no...

    Lifetime Average Wh/mi

    Oooh - I just found this thread. Can I play too? I'm about 5 weeks into my Model S ownership and have (so far) been resetting only Trip A after every 1000 miles. Right now, I'm approaching 3000 total miles, with a lifetime Wh/mi of 309. The first 1000 miles were at 326, then the average had...

    Model S Software/Firmware wishlist

    I was talking about the latter with the bendy lines. I guess I hadn't connected the "disappearing video" issue when the homelink menu appears with an inability to superimpose an image. That would be unfortunate...

    Model S Software/Firmware wishlist

    Would anyone else like to see those moving "backup guide lines" when looking at the backup camera and in reverse? Seems like this would be easy to superimpose via a software patch and to turn on or off in a settings menu. I've never had a backup camera before my Model S, and I sometimes find...

    Consequences of uncooperative state legislatures - pulled over in NJ for no plate

    I had the tiny little temp "tag" from CA (about 1" x 4" in the upper left corner of my rear window) that the Norristown SC taped there when I took delivery. I live in PA, but right on the NJ border, and I work in NJ. In PA I am not required to have a front plate. I was driving around just the...

    Consequences of uncooperative state legislatures - pulled over in NJ for no plate

    I was pulled over in NJ this morning for driving without a license plate. No ticket was issued, as I was able to adequately explain the situation to the patrolman (the NJ town where I was pulled over is on the border with PA where I live; car is 3 weeks post-delivery and I have 30 days to...

    Stereo - Standard vs. Upgrade - I have seven questions >>

    Have you been able to get this to work in your car Canuck? I just received my car last week and so far I haven't been able to get any of my custom TuneIn URLs to work. I'll be very excited for the 6.0 internet MP3 streaming, but in the mean time it would be great to be able to create some...

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    Congrats (and Happy Earth Day!), tliving! I got mine yesterday as well. I picked it up at the Norristown, PA Service Center (which, BTW, is rather nondescript compared to other Tesla locations I've visited), drove it home to pick up the kids, then took it directly to the detail shop where I'm...

    Supercharger - Hamilton Township, NJ

    How do you get invites? Is it based on ZIP code? Or NJ-only? This is about 15-20 miles from my home in Bucks County, PA, but I didn't get an invite. I am picking up my car on Tuesday afternoon, though, so maybe they're only inviting more established owners rather than pending owners (even though...

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    Aww man! Mine is still set for next Tuesday, and when I asked yesterday, I was told it most likely wouldn't me moved up. I guess that's fine, as the suddenly cooler weather we've got today now means that the epoxy coating I was going to put on my garage floor this afternoon now probably needs...

    Red Brake Calipers

    Anyone ever consider this? Some of the comments on one of the colors was by a guy who had used it several years ago and been so happy he was now doing it on his Model S: http://amzn.com/B000AUMYMM http://amzn.com/B000G2AOU8 (They also have more exotic color options, like orange, pink, white...

    Supercharger - Hamilton Township, NJ

    This is right on the way from my house to Six Flags. I foresee many stops by here this coming summer... Oooh! And I believe Six Flags just announced their opening weekend is April 11th-13th...so if my car isn't delivered by then, maybe I can go ride Kingda Ka to get my linear induction motor...

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    So as of this morning, my dashboard is still saying "sourcing parts," which is about what I was figuring based on my expected delivery date of 4/22, but I did notice that sometime over the weekend, I am no longer being offered my choice of delivery locations. Last week, I was still able to...

    New 19" tire on tirerack for MS

    I just bought a set of the Cinturato P7s for my little brother for his Accord for his birthday. The thing that impressed me was the 700 on the tread life rating, so I'll definitely be keeping an eye on how he likes his Pirelli's for when I need to replace my Primacy's.

    Cold battery means not so super supercharge

    Sorry if this is a dumb question (I take delivery of my Model S in 3 weeks), but I live in PA and could easily see this happening to me on a road trip... Is it possible/a good idea to carry an extension cord with you, obviously would have to be rated for heavy duty use, but then run it from a...

    Learning from Car Logs

    Has anything come out in the last year that provides the kind of data discussed in this thread? Seems like with the number of data-hungry Tesla customers, this would be a no-brainer. For example, I'd like to be able to track-and-trend the accumulated amount of power I've drawn (well, future...

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    Update from my DS yesterday: expected delivery date for my MS (35972) is now Apr 22, at Norristown, PA service center. That would make it 66 days from order to delivery, or 55 days from confirmation to delivery (assuming there's no "under-promise, over-deliver" adjustment to my delivery date)...

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    Hello All, Who is maintaining this list now? I have sent PMs to both @MidlifeCrisis and @Alain13 requesting to be added to the spreadsheet. I placed my order on 2/15 and confirmed on 2/26 for an 85 kWh model, Pearl White, with tan leather interior. VIN was assigned on 2/25 (359XX) and my...
