I live in the area. I drove past the charger on the highway today and noticed the marker in the nav screen showed it as having decreased service. So the car knew something was wrong from a mile away.

So I know that sometimes the chargers come online before they're officially open. Is there someone who can check if they're up yet? I'm driving STL to KC on Saturday morning and back on Sunday night. I can make the trip without the charger, but if I knew it was open ahead of time I could...

You're right, I have no math but that's how they sell it. And with both the lowering and the door handles, it looks cool, it's something to show off, and both make me happy.

I have the air suspension on my 85P, and have had no issues. I appreciate like the fact it lowers itself at highway speeds for better efficiency. I also use the adjustable height to deal with high snow, curbs, or at a drive through window since the car sits pretty low in standard. You don't...

Half of them were probably me. I've been there a bunch over lunch, shown off the car to coworkers, showed how easy the chargers work, etc. May have gotten at least one or two of them thinking of getting a Tesla of their own. Most of the time I'm there, lots of people have checked out my car...

It's basically in the parking lot for Smash Burger, and in the same shopping center as the Taco Bell. I don't work too far from there, so suddenly Smash Burger is new favorite place for lunch. There's also a grocery store with a salad bar and things there as well if you wanted to eat a bit more...

Went there for lunch today. Good burger. Somebody in a Buick parked next to me as we were in there though. Going to see a lot of that here I think.

I think it's kind of funny that when I drive from STL to Ohio and back in a gas car, I usually stop at this gas station. Once this is open, I'll still be stopping here in my electric car.

Weather will be better for the next two weeks, but I'd guess the odds of getting it all done and operational in that time are pretty well nil.

I went by during the week over lunch. It was pretty well snowed over the whole time.

Nice hotel basically just across the highway too.

I live very near St Charles and my wife's family is in Independance. Clues on where to look, and I can get pics.

I'm not feeling good for Tuesday. No Tesla drive for me.

I've got a business trip to Greenville, about 30 miles north of there, and I'm going to drive out on Tuesday. The question is which car I'll be driving, depending on confirmation of those chargers being ready before I leave. I really hope that Tuesday estimate is correct.

The problem with a location that is that close to 70, 44, and 55 is that it would have to be right in the heart of downtown. Depending on the time of day, traffic or safety end up as real issues, or you're way off the highway. If they only care about east-west along 70, everyone takes 270 north...

I had mine done with 40 around, and 90 on the windshield. First, it's a great product. Even the 90. Dramatic difference in the feeling of heat on my arms and face, and less eyestrain. However, there were a couple of patches on the top right of the windshield that looked like streaks that they...

It wouldn't have to be a cheap retrofit for it to make some sense. If it was near the cost difference of selling the car and buying a new one, then it would still make some sense. And the resale of even the cars that were delivered two weeks ago (like mine) just dropped like a rock, so it...

Any guesses on when this Indy charger will be ready? I have to drive from St Louis to western Ohio fairly often. I'll be set once Indy and Dayton are up, but with just Indy I can fake it well enough.

Mine's been building since Tuesday. It's now Saturday. A bit concerned since it usually only takes 2-3 days.

I've never had him volunteer any info, but other than when he was on vacation, my DS has always responded to my emails the next business day.

P85 51991 Confirmed 7/7 went into production last night Still show "Late September" as delivery on the website. Haven't heard from the DS yet, but his last estimate of 9/25-9/30 still looks right based on production time and shipping to STL.

Has anyone figured out how close the VIN #'s line up with production sequence?

I'm trying to imagine if that would look cool, or horrifically bad. I have to imagine it ending up looking like really poorly brushed aluminum pretty quickly.

Large batch runs of sub-assemblies. That's how efficient manufacturing works in the real world. And it's not like the aluminum is going to go bad like a banana. Supercar/luxury car manufacturing doesn't always follow best practices, often intentionally to show off and adding cost. I'm...

I wrote my DS asking about the delay and the status. This is his response: "I actually spoke with our factory rep last night in regards to this. Your Model S is expected to be ready for delivery here in St. Louis between Sept. 25th and 30th now. This is right in line with the original...

Yeah, probably just means that the options are locked in. I just got the same status change, but no specific date still. "Late September"

Those dates specifically? Last Monday, I happened to ask about my delivery date before the delays started to happen and I was give a range of between the 19th and the 23rd. Then on Wednesday the website changed from "September" to "Late September." No actual personal communication from the DS...

The website says "September" and my DS originally said week of 9/22. Now Monday, I asked and he said he was expecting between 9/19 and 9/23. This was by email, not phone, and he didn't give any more information than that. He kind of gave the impression that there wouldn't be more information...

I was told that most of those upgrades can/will be installed so long as you're still under the service/warranty contract. I asked about that specifically for 4G data and was told that whenever it comes out, I'll get it. I ordered mine in July (with delivery mid September) feeling confident that...

I'm concerned that not all the major routes are on the map. I 55 from Chicago to New Orleans isn't there other than plans for St Louis and Memphis and they aren't close to each other. And as was mentioned earlier, it's great that there would be a charger within 200 miles of anywhere, but I...

Oof. I'm dying with three months wait.

I got that same "could be sooner" but I don't know what to do with it. We'll see how things work out in a month.

Cements the idea that I'll be getting the extended warranty when mine arrives.

P85 P51991 Three weeks wait down, eight to go.

I confirmed 7/7 and delivery date just moved from "Late September" to just "September" though I haven't gotten any emails or anything. Also, reservation number changed to what looks like a VIN.
