I've been using my UMC every day for 15 months and have had no problems with it. This is outdoors but in good southern California weather.

That looks great. My son did the same thing to his car!

2014 S85 18,500 miles 90%=235 miles. I think it was 237 miles when new.

If you're looking at CQuartz I had Andrew at Aficonauto in Santa Barbara do mine. It turned out great and Andrew is great to work with. 805-705-7197

VIN 53743 Ordered 4 July 2014 Delivered 18 October 2014 All autopilot hardware installed.

S85 Autopilot VIN 53743 - Got it today 4-1-15

If you also got the Tech package I would think Tesla would owe you $500. I had the old $3,750 tech package and parking sensors and got TACC with the 6.1 upgrade.

VIN 53XXX Picked up 18 October with full Auto Pilot hardware 01/19/15 Just notified 6.1 has been downloaded. Will install at 0200 tomorrow morning. Great timing as I am up in Truckee on a 500 mile ski trip from Santa Barbara. Looking forward to using the TACC and energy software on my...

In car program. And thanks for your work.

Do I need to be connected to WiFi to receive the update? I only have 3G

Just found this brief article in the Santa Barbara Independent": "Although no official application has yet been submitted, the City Council gave Tesla Motors the green light to open a new car dealership -- "a gallery," in the Tesla lingo -- at the spot on Hitchcock Way now occupied by Don...

Michael is the new Santa Barbara rep. He also just picked up a P85D for demo rides. Met him at the Oxnard SC. Great guy!

It took 30 minutes to replace the part. Just hope they have the part on hand.

It's a part that they happened to have in stock when they fixed mine. The part is fairly large and I think it fits down into the door.

Noticed the wind noise from the right front triangle window immediately after delivery. Brought can in a week later and they replaced the complete part. No more noise. Great service.

Just found this in UK edition of Wired. Mercedes revolutionises trucking with self-driving semi (Wired UK) It's an interesting article on what may be just around the corner.

I just picked up my car today. It appears to have the new updates listed in the OP's thread. It has 6.0 and the speed assist and lane warnings software is all there. Other parts of the safety convenience features will trickle out in the next few months.

So very sorry for your accident. Thankfully you are all OK. It's further proof that the S is the safest car in the world.

It didn't work. I asked my DS for a release form that I could sign to not have any detailing done to the car. I got my answer back a couple of days later. "Regarding your request to forego detail, I ran this request by my service manager. Unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate this...

The 19" wheels that are coming with my S85 are 8.5 inches wide. The aftermarket wheels I am looking at are 9" wide. I'm staying with the same tires (Michelin Primacy). Is this 1/2" difference a no no? I've been told that this will work fine but I would like to hear from actual owners their...

I have a question for doc@tirerack. My Tesla is coming next month with 19" wheels. These wheels are, I believe, 8.5" wide. The new wheels I'm looking at are 9" wide. I am going to stay with the same tires. Will this be OK? Thanks

Thanks for the replays. I'll contact my DS again and ask for a release from Tesla that I would sign to not have the car waxed. I'll see if that works. Thanks again, Gary

I thought that was a great article and I'm going to send it to friends and family.

I have a question. My car will be delivered at the end of September. I am planning to have the car OptiCoated the next day. My detailer requested to not have Tesla detail the car as it makes more work for him. I requested that to my Delivery Specialist but she said that it can't be done...

My poor attempt at humor.

Nice going John. Way to spread the word. I may not be quite to their age, I'm only 72, but I'll bet that a lot of older people are just as interested and concerned about things like the environment as much as the younger generation (maybe even more so!) And you would almost have to be dead to...

Is that with a full charge?

Lucky us Fantastic! I can't believe I am getting a car with an unlimited drivetrain warranty. Now, just get that darn thing delivered on time and I can start enjoying what the rest of you have.

This thread made me look at My Tesla again, for the second time today. And lo and behold I have a VIN - 53743. I confirmed my order on the 4th of July. I figured mine might be taking longer since I ordered a brown car and that is about the least popular color. Delivery late September but...

Yep - drove by and stopped at the Oxnard SC today. They were unpacking the chargers and laying out heavy duty cables. Glad to see them back to work on this SC. My MS arrives in 7 weeks and this is a perfect location for me.

This reminds me of the Enzo Ferrari that split in half after hitting a telephone pole on the 101 just north of Malibu around 8 years ago. I saw the engine compartment laying in the street and the front half near the telephone pole around 200 feet away. Fortunately after hitting the pole neither...

Thanks for the update on the Oxnard SC station. My Model S is due in October and my most frequent drive is from Santa Barbara to Simi Valley to visit my grandkids. This SC is perfectly located for me.

I ordered mine 2 days ago. October delivery. My first house came with 14 acres of land, barn, guest house and cost 1/4 the cost of my TESLA. But then I was making 1/5 of what I was making before I retired. I'm replacing a Prius so gas savings won't be so much. Will be charging at my son's...
