    Autopilot for HW2 rolling out to all HW2 cars today!

    As the owner of two previous Model S vehicles, P85+, and for the past two years drove a P85D with HW1, (I now own a P100D with HW2), I can give some opinion on the "autopilot experience": I lived through the onset of HW1 autopilot and as some posters have noted it was a bit rough around the...

    No satellite radio with all glass roof?

    Never mind. I see "XM requires sunroof".

    No satellite radio with all glass roof?

    So I'm not seeing any mention of this on the custom order page on Tesla's site. You can order the "Ultra High Fidelity Package" which includes XM radiation capability. Am I missing something?

    No satellite radio with all glass roof?

    Am I correct that if you choose the new all glass roof option then you can't have XM radio? (According to Elektrek review)

    P100D rear seat photos.

    I'm upgrading this week from P85D to P100D. I've been looking everywhere for rear seat photos showing cup holders. (Trivial I know!) Anyone have photos or links? Thank you in advance!

    Firmware 8.0

    Couple of items to report from my experience with v8.0 (.108) 340 mile round trip this past weekend. Several times on climb uphill as the car was reaching the apex of the hill, the AP would steer violently to the right. I had my hands on the wheel and each time coaxed it back to the center of...

    Supercharger - Coralville, IA

    Can anyone confirm this SC is live? Headed to Iowa City this evening and would be nice to not have to plan on using a J1772 charger for hours. Have any members physically used/charged this SC yet?

There was some moderate wear on the rear tires. service center found no drive train issues at all. i tested out accelerating on various road surfaces and found minimal to no vibration on rough coat Tarmac or concrete but on brand new Tarmac much more...

    Im traveling for a few days and haven't been able update my P85D yet. Havent seen even it mentioned in any posts or maybe I missed it but does autopilot also alter speed of vehicle whilst in various speed zones or is this feature note yet included?

    Don't notice it at highway speed or with gentler acceleration, mostly with hard acceleration, really picks up vibration.

    Rear vibration on acceleration

    Feeling some increased vibration from the rear of my MS P85D on acceleration over the past few weeks. Took it up to MSP Tesla SC who found no issues. Just wondering if this could be a tire, balance or alignment problem? Running Michelin Pilots on 21" Tesla Rims. Have about 5000 miles on the...

    Dumb CHADEMO charger question....

    Ghost it took about a month to get the confirmation email to allow me to order the adapter. You have to provide your VIN at time of order since it's currently limited to one chademo adapter per car. You should be hearing something soon!:)

    Just received my CHADEMO adapter. Looking at areas in the twin cities on Plugshare there are a lot of "Goodwill" fast chargers that are Green Lots chargers. I have Chargepoint cards that issued with level 2 chargepoint chargers......what do I need to be able to use the fast DC chargers? Any...

    Valet parking

    I've never had a problem handing off my keys to a valet in any of my previous ICE cars, but not sure I wanna do the same with my P85D. Have any of you run into issues or roadblocks when checking into a hotel and asking the valet to simply ride along with you to park the car then keeping your...

    Tracking P85D delivery thread

    SVP, congrats on taking delivery. I have to say my delivery experience with the MSP SC was somewhat disappointing too. This is my second Tesla purchase and delivery from them. It took nearly two hours to complete paperwork and no next gen seats for me. No red scarves. I'm a little jealous of...

    Took delivery tonight at the MSP SC. Great to be back in a Tesla. This beast loves power though. 120mile drive home, at 70 mph, however outdoor temp is -8F, (-24F wind chill), average 540Wh/mile!!!! Drove in sport mode all the way home and did not have range mode on. But wow! Good job we have...

    Chicago area residents who were waiting for their P85D to unload from train on Dec 24, know if this occurred? Apparently my vehicle is on route to Minneapolis via Chicago. Will be trucked to Minneapolis after unloading from train, but haven't heard if any Model S cars showed up on Wednesday.

    So as a Tesla stockholder, I'm a little concerned about the cost involved in "seat gate". Does Tesla simply plan on eating the costs associated with this or will they recycle the Performance Seats they replace with Next Gen seats? Just curious if anyone might know what they plan to do with...

    OConnor, how do you know "where" in production your car is? Did Nathan share this with you, or is there another way to see how close your car is to being finished? And I agree....he does have a lot of P85D's to deliver out of Minneapolis! :)

    I have released my P85 for trade in on delivery of a P85D, my Tesla App still shows my old car and VIN #. It can't log in to the car. I also still see my old Model S on My Dashboard. Any solutions to this?

    Wholeheartedly agree! Very exciting to see P85Ds about to roll of the production line. Bunch of us still anxiously awaiting our cars to be in production! Wish I knew the logistics of how TM decides which cars to build first. It's obviously not first come first served.

    Do I want winter tires?

    FrozenCanuck, I too would be interested in whether these are SottoZero II or 3 tires. There's a definite difference between the two. It should show clearly on the sidewall the version of this tire. (Those of us with water wheel/tire package on order from tesla are curious.) Thanks!

    Asked to "Confirm" P85D order again.

    As purchasers of a $130,000 dollar vehicle I shouldn't have to rely on TMC website to give me updates on the car that Tesla is building me. Delivery Specialists or Tesla Reps should have personally reached out (email or phone call) to those of us who had placed orders to let us know of these...

    Asked to "Confirm" P85D order again.

    I placed and confirmed my order for a P85D on 10/10/14. Looked at my dashboard this morning and it was asking me to "Confirm" my order again??? Anyone else experience this? Hopefully doesn't push me further back in line to take delivery!
