    Weighing Rejoining the Tesla Family

    Yeah. I was feeling some pressure on trying to order before the Supercharger referral promo went away, but I also did some math and given how few road trips I take, I don't think it really matters that much as I likely won't exceed the built-in 400 kWH benefit. I also saw that just today the...

    Weighing Rejoining the Tesla Family

    This does help. I'm curious why you're waiting on Inventory versus a built-to-order?

    Weighing Rejoining the Tesla Family

    Hi All. As you can see from my signature, I am a previous owner of a Model S P85+. I owned that car for a little over a year before life forced me to make a move to a multi-tenant apartment where I was not able to charge the car, and I ended up selling it. My relationship with that car was a...

    Firmware 6.2

    Thread search isn't working for me, so sorry if others have already reported: After updating my Classic P85+ to 6.2 today I noticed the park assist safety chime was turned off. I always have this on and find it very valuable given a tricky home parking space. I found it odd that this update...

    Where is the power coming from when plugged in but not charging?

    Thanks for the tidbits everyone! Appreciate the clarification.

    Any Bay Area P85+ Commuters?

    Where did you hear about this? SC? I'm wondering if my new car was assembled with whatever this fix is already in place?

    Where is the power coming from when plugged in but not charging?

    Technical question that I wasn't able to find a definitive answer to on the forum search: If my Model S is plugged in but NOT charging, perhaps because the charge is delayed or because it is complete, is the 12V battery still effectively bypassed while using the car's electronics/HVAC? Or does...

    New P85+ on the Mean Streets of Oakland

    I actually requested it as a factory option. I received it in Fremont without any badging. I've done this with all of my BMWs as well and prefer the look.

    New P85+ on the Mean Streets of Oakland

    A recap of my stats: Ordered and Confirmed 4/22/14, Delivered 6/12/14, Came Home 6/16/14 (went straight from Tesla factory to detailer.) The car was paint corrected, Opticoat Pro was applied, an Xpel wrap on the front, rear and forward quarter-panels was applied, and another layer of Opticoat...

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    Sure thing. I haven't had the car since delivery day as it has been getting taken care of by the detailers. I'll be taking some more pics when I pick the car up and I'll share them on the forum.

    Full Superchargers? How Often?

    When I picked up my Model S at the factory yesterday all but one stall was occupied around 4pm on a Thursday. Given that this is the factory it's probably always going to have anomalous usage due to new delivery customers trying to check out what it's like. I'll admit to having backed into the...

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    Yup! This is at the Fremont customer delivery center which is attached to the factory. Went for the tour immediately afterward. NDA means I can't say much, but I'll say it was pretty cool. There's definitely some minor imperfections with the factory detail but nothing that can't be fixed up by...

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    Let's make that another happy customer! My P85+ delivered today (6/12/14), 51 days from confirming my order.

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    I'm using Joe over at Orinda Auto Detail (orindaautodetail.com). He was highly recommended in the California forum, and after paying him a visit a few weeks ago and seeing no fewer than 4 brand new Teslas being worked on in his shop I knew I had found the promised land. His website even features...

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    Today's the big day! P85+ 42155 is getting picked up from the Tesla factory at 2pm. I have a great big red "Accept Delivery" button on My Tesla that I'm afraid to press just in case that means I negate the possibility of a Due Bill if something is not right. Sadly, I'll only have it for a...

    Any Bay Area P85+ Commuters?

    Thanks for the replies, all. I didn't make any last minute changes and my P85+ finished production yesterday. Look forward to picking it up on Thursday and really enjoying the Tesla Grin, even if it costs me in tires every 10k miles!

    Any Bay Area P85+ Commuters?

    That's actually really helpful. I'm moving to the Model S from an M-sport edition 1-series which has a pretty stiff sport suspension. I guess the main question I have is what has your tire wear been like? Have you put on enough miles that you've had to contemplate changing tires? Not sure how...

    Any Bay Area P85+ Commuters?

    My P85+ is about to enter production (scheduled for delivery June 12th.) I'm having some 11th hour panic attacks about the 21" wheels. I can't seem to get a straight read from the forums/reviews as to whether or not this is a terrible idea for commuting on Bay Area freeways. I commute from...

    Woo hoo - in production

    42155 is also still sourcing parts for a June 12 factory delivery, just as a data point. Confirmed P85+ on 4/22.

    (California) Bay Area FasTrak*— Is the license plate pic method working?

    I've read through a great number of threads about toll tag placement, and in the case of Bay Area FasTrak in particular, I'm curious if there is anyone here who does day-to-day commuting over Bay Area bridges and does NOT even try to play the transponder game. With transponder "misses" in the...

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    Just got my call from the DS! Pick up is Thursday, June 12th. By my math, that's 51 days from order confirmation to delivery if their estimate holds. (4/22 - 6/12)

    Pulled over driving Model S

    I admittedly haven't read through all 38 pages of this thread, so sorry if it's a repeat, but for the folks concerned about speed limit violations this video produced in B.C. is thought-provoking: Speed Kills Your Pocketbook. It's worth noting that this does not account for/attempt to justify...

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014

    Do people get an email when the car enters production, or do you have to just visit My Tesla regularly?

    Pets on Road Trips

    Before I get hung from the highest branch, to be clear, I'm talking about going into a sit-down restaurant to order takeaway. Not staying in there for an hour blindly trusting automation. Thanks for the other tips, all!

    Pets on Road Trips

    I'm eagerly awaiting the delivery of my Model S. To pass the time, I've been making preliminary plans for a road trip with it this summer to visit friends and family in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, starting from the SF Bay Area. One thing I've been contemplating is bringing my dog along with me...

    Surviving the stages of delivery...

    I confirmed my order a week ago and had the VIN assigned two days later, but still no outreach from a DS. Seems like a lot of other people tended to hear from the DS around the time of confirmation or VIN assignment. Should I be reaching out proactively?

    Model S Order & Delivery Tracker - Q1 2014
