    EVmote App

    Damn. Thanks for all the hard work, Ryan. I'll miss having my trip history readily accessible.

    (Now trips are working again. It might have just missed the two this morning for some reason.)

    EVmote App

    Related to trips: Trips stopped working on my account again (yesterday's is there, but today's isn't) You might eventually want to cap or limit the Trips CSV in some way. I tested it with earlier, and it was already over 30Mb.

    EVmote App

    Turning on via an IFTTT Do button works for me almost 100% of the time (I had one failure, I assume there was a network communication issue between IFTTT & EVMote). That's the only command I use regularly. I would suggest double checking or recreating the IFTTT Maker side. (e.g.: make sure...

    EVmote App

    I get the missing temps all the time. I get the issue on the official iPhone app, too, though. The difference there is they just hide it, so it's less noticeable.

    Speculation re: next major Model S upgrade announcement

    I'm a little surprised by that. It's not in use today, but it seems like it would be something nice to keep in case they want to add some functionality to AutoPilot that could use that button, since most cars have the button. As it is, it's probably more than a little confusing for new drivers...

    EVmote App

    My vote would be no longer than 5 minutes. I'd hate to lose some of the max speed / energy used data on our regular round trips to daycare, etc. It's interesting seeing the difference between the trip there and back. However, another argument for basing it on distance (too) is I don't need to...

    Supercharger - Louisville, KY

    It doesn't only have to do with speed. There are several other factors (I assume you know :biggrin:): Weather: driving in cold weather, I saw a noticeable drop in range, which made previously easy routes a little tight. Rain/Snow can also make a difference. If the speed limit is 70, that's...

    Supercharger - Louisville, KY

    Are you sure? There used to be a gray pin near Elizabethtown. Though bowling green would probably be better.

    Supercharger - Louisville, KY

    It looked like you couldn't charge with the fencing when I drove up at 10 AM, but you just had to drive around the fence: it was open on the other side.

    Supercharger - Louisville, KY

    Also, I'll add that it's a closer walk to the couple of food options than I thought. Certainly closer than a couple of the Meijer locations I've used in Ohio and Michigan.

    Supercharger - Louisville, KY

    Can confirm: I'm charging right now!

    Improved Trunk lighting - Is there demand?

    Ordered 3 sets—I decided to go all-in, even if it means getting my fingers hurt in the rear wheel wells! :biggrin: Those puddle lights make me as angry as the trunk lights: the little LED in the handle is brighter!!

    Awesome! Looking forward to them. :biggrin:

    Frunk electric lock?

    Haha! Awesome, thanks for the investigative research! It's probably all in our heads, surreal that there would be multiple, independent thoughts that the frunk changed. I did have a "wonderful" experience trying to test this out myself: It was nearing 1 AM, and I decided to see if it really...

    Tesla continues to list price with gas savings/incentives and offer odd bundles

    I'm not sure I see the difference: if you click between the main packages, the price on the right switches from $57K to $67K to $87K: the "gas savings and incentives" are still rolled into the first price you see. Then you finally scroll down and it's suddenly $17K more. Just pointing out that...

    It's still showing at the top of the design studio for me:

    Frunk electric lock?

    That's crazy you say that, because I closed it a few minutes ago, and thought it was easier to close. I assumed I just hit a sweet spot, but now I'm going to pay more attention.

    TACC "Cruise not available. Decreased radar visibility"

    We've had "Driver Assistance Features" disabled twice at what appears to be the same location. I wasn't driving the first time, but the second time there was sun shining down pretty hard on the front of the car. In both cases, it returned on it's own a while later. It's pretty aggravating...

    Speculation re: next major Model S upgrade announcement

    I think the like or dislike for a sunroof has a lot to do with the weather you live in. Where we live, we get lots of days where the temperature outside is perfect, so I love opening the sunroof. A sunroof might not be for everyone, but I stand by the fact that they cannot put one on the X due...

    Speculation re: next major Model S upgrade announcement

    Not just a new part: a completely new structure to the car. The entire top of the car has to be built around that giant piece of glass: there's no A-crossbeam to strengthen the vehicle. Personally, I don't see the appeal. Yeah, it's pretty, but at the cost of a lot of functionality: no sun...

    Lexus Navigation feature from several years ago

    One feature from our tiny TomTom (that we used extensively on our 18-day, 15-state cross-country road trip) was "POI Along Your Route". I don't see anything like this on the Tesla: being able to figure out upcoming restaurants that aren't far off your current programmed route. I tried...

    Heated steering wheel and seat vs central heating

    You can definitely see the HVAC power usage on the dash—I was stopped at a light and noticed the kWh meter "bouncing" a little. Took a while to realize it was the HVAC running (A/C in my case) that caused it. You can turn on and off the climate controls to see the change.

    Supercharger capacity

    I think the solution to solving the supercharger issue is much simpler than most have suggested. The Model S & X both have unlimited "free" usage of the SC network rolled in, which means there's no penalty for using the service whenever you want. This leads to abuse, but it makes sense to...

    What Swag did Tesla give you at delivery?

    We had already gotten three of the driver's group hats (one for each of us, and one for our 3-year-old :smile:) when we ordered the car. Mine's getting fairly broken in, already—and I'm not a huge fan of the stiff-front style hats. We also placed an order for winter floor mats and a hook for...

    Humorous Album Art

    I don't really even like it for legitimate songs & albums. Some albums have multiple covers, or belong to multiple albums. Often, the one on my phone is different than the car, and it throws me off. We also have one song we enjoy (no lyrics) with a cover that is mildly inappropriate for our...

    What's your 6.0+ car name (if you are willing to share?)

    We finally settled on Ostentatious. I like words that start with O. :biggrin:

    Mirror not tilting when in reverse.

    Quick thought: Are the mirrors positioned differently for reverse? If you put the car into reverse (hold the brake!), you can then adjust them to where you prefer, and save them to your profile. It's possible that your tilted adjustment is the same as your un-tilted adjustment, so you wouldn't...

    Improved Trunk lighting - Is there demand?

    Even having just received our new 85D, I'm ready. The map lights are brighter than the under-door lights, which is silly! And the trunk is dark!

    It's here!

    Annoyingly, I ordered it from the Cincinnati location (which is over an hour closer), but they decided to ship it to Tennessee instead—no input from me. It appears to be a region thing. So, the main reason it was delivered is we couldn't really drive 6+ hours just to pick up a car (we would...

    It's here!

    Our S85D "finally" arrived yesterday, delivered right to our driveway. We had an absolutely gorgeous Kentucky day here. Delivery was a blast—the iPhone app started working when the driver was about 45min away, so we watched the car make it's way to us, then snapped photos as it came down the...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Model S 85D Ordered mine on August 8, 2015 Confirmed on August 16 (the day after it was supposed to be confirmed, for some reason) VIN: —102115 Estimated Delivery September - Early October—was Late September before confirmation.

    Ended: $2K Off Instead Of $1K From Current VA & OH Owners, Confirmed

    Thanks! It's getting down to the wire now, and harder to sit still patiently! I'm sure it's all OK now, it just was a crazy route getting to this point. :)

    Ended: $2K Off Instead Of $1K From Current VA & OH Owners, Confirmed

    OK, I didn't want to say anything right away, because I'm worried they're going to change their minds yet again, but my D.S. is awesome and kept looking into it without me prompting further, and he was able to get me the doubled referral bonus as well. He notified me of this earlier this week...

    Ended: $2K Off Instead Of $1K From Current VA & OH Owners, Confirmed

    I agree whole-heartedly. They really should put out a blog post (or something with more visibility) to clear up this mess. Seems like they have finally figured out what's really happening.

    Ended: $2K Off Instead Of $1K From Current VA & OH Owners, Confirmed

    That is the same information I've been told (repeatedly, now). I was caught in the middle of the double credit thing, too, and was told a lot of varying things by different people. In the end the answer is you cannot get the double credit unless you purchase and register in OH or VA. That sucks...

    How many changes did you make while waiting for confirmation?

    I made no changes, but I hated that week. I spent the entire time questioning the expense, because I had to option to back out with no penalty. Of course, once that was past, I chilled and now I'm just waiting on the car to get here!

    Improved Trunk lighting - Is there demand?

    I haven't even gotten my car yet, and I'm confident I'll be ordering at least the trunk, but probably the entire set!

    Frustrated with general lack of response from Tesla

    That actually makes the most sense! If it's really that simple, Tesla needs to put out a press release or a blog post clarifying it, now.

    Frustrated with general lack of response from Tesla

    That's the exact same quotes that have been splattered across the internet. I have to hear of a single, non-anecdotal case of someone actually getting the doubled discount and not registering it in VA or OH.

    Frustrated with general lack of response from Tesla

    I appreciate that you all feel I was abusing the referral program. I almost didn't post here originally because I figured that would be the response. :-( It was never my intent to abuse the program. I don't exactly have a lot of access to other Tesla drivers out here in Louisville, there's...

    Frustrated with general lack of response from Tesla

    It's not that at all. Apparently the wording of the original email was completely wrong, and it's leading to a lot of confusion (and frustration). It actually makes sense to me now that I've had time to think it through, and hopefully this will clear it up for others. Basically, it's not the...

    Frustrated with general lack of response from Tesla

    CRAP No, no, this did not work out. Never mind what I said. Just got off the phone with my DS, and he absolutely re-confirmed with me that I am not eligible for the $2000, that the wording in the original email is almost completely backwards. Only buyers taking delivery and registering in...

    EDIT: Ignore this, read the message below. Update: I just got off the phone with the store manager in Cincinnati, after writing a lengthy email this morning. This referral program has kinda gone haywire for Tesla, apparently. Anyway, the good news: I'm going to be all set, the referral code...

    Frustrated with general lack of response from Tesla

    In hindsight, this is obvious. At the time, I still hadn't heard anything authoritative about the doubled referral fee—only some people claiming it to be true online. It sounded dubious at the time.
  48. OverZealous

    Frustrated with general lack of response from Tesla

    Yes and no. Yes, that's basically what happened, but it's not really the sales rep's fault. Since, at the time, I didn't really believe the whole double bonus situation, I agreed to let them change the referral code. This was probably a mistake on my part, but I didn't really know the person...

    Ha—and turn 6 hours of travel into... 10 hours or something? :tongue: - - - Updated - - - That's what everyone has been saying, though. If you follow the comments on Reddit and here, the response has been that the buyer, no matter who it is, gets the double referral bonus. If you read...

    Frustrated with general lack of response from Tesla

    I don't really want to get it on my own—that's half the fun. It wouldn't be fair to make my wife watch our daughter all day just so I can get a car. It's her car, too. Literally, it's her car, too; she has to sign for it as well! But the most important reason: How would I get there if...
