    Can you re-up the pics? I'm having issues loading them.

    The Worst 3 weeks of my life

    When it rains, it definitely pours. Sometimes you just gotta take it and laugh about it later. Hope your glass isn't too expensive to replace!

    Just got rear ended

    Wow what a nightmare!! I had to deal with a minor body damage as well when I was hit by someone driving slowly, but it was all through insurance. I could suggest you to the place I went to to get my body work/paint done near the Bolingbrook area. Whoever you go to, make sure they are...

    Tesla won't perform any alignment/wheel/suspension work on car with aftermarket rims/tires

    Just ran into this exact problem today. Tesla service center refused to perform non-warranty work on my Model S because it has to do with aftermarket wheel/tires. Does Tesla Motors really expect us to drive in the snow on our 21" Summer performance tires? Of course I have winter tire/wheels on.

    "Chunking" When Wheels Turned In Reverse - Most of the Time

    Do you have 21" or 22" wheels or extended valve caps? A lot of guys with larger wheels have similar problems, but usually only when reversing while sharply turned. I noticed that when it happens to me it seems like the valve cap is hitting the inside of the wheel well. I am on 22" wheels and...

    Retrofitting NextGen Seats

    I have the early NG front and rear seats and from what I can see, it is extremely ugly on its back side. It does not sit flush and you can see metal supports from the behind and a large gap.

    Triple Upgrade -- One Happy Camper

    Let me know when your front next gen seats start squeaking. Mine is constantly rubbing on the center console creating squeaks at every dip of the road. I took it to the service center and they said nothing can be done. :cursing:

    I will never buy 21" tires again

    I've been running on 22" for awhile now and haven't ran into a problem yet. (knock on wood) Are you guys driving into potholes and other road debris on purpose??

    2014 P85D Owners... hindsight? regrets?

    Had a P85 on order during announcement and upgraded my reservation right after in October. Took delivery early January but it is still a 2014 car (which seemed strange to me). The next-gen seats took about a 6 month wait, which didn't bother me, but the front seats have been making squeaking...

    Is this sound coming from my car normal??

    I second the door handle or door handle related sound. It sounds exactly like the door handles retracting and extending. Maybe the motor that controls the handles are also used somewhere else and being triggered?

    Autopilot lane keeping still not available over 6 months after delivery

    I don't know how anyone could back Tesla up on this subject unless they are financially tied to the stock. When you announce and demonstrate something in October 2014, your customers will not be happy when the features demonstrated are still not available in AUGUST 2015 - especially when many...

    Autopilot lane keeping still not available over 6 months after delivery

    Add me to the list of people who was fooled into upgrading to the P85D thinking Autopilot were to be rolled out over the course of a few months. We're at the 9th month mark since it's official announcement and the coveted feature still is still not available.

    Nagging issues

    I did not notice any extra sounds coming from the front motor. This sounds crazy but have you changed wheel sizes since? For some reason I notice the motor sound a lot more running on 19" than 21".

    TACC failed to brake at stop, nearly accident.

    Is this confirmed? I believe I may have had TACC lock onto a stopped vehicle and successfully stopped normally before. Although maybe even the slightest movement could trigger the TACC to lock. I understand that you guys are comparing TACC to other adaptive cruise control on other brands...

    TACC failed to brake at stop, nearly accident.

    I'm on v6.2 (2.4.153) which i believe is the latest update. Actually now that you mention it, it can't be the emergency brake happening because i clearly had to swerve and "sharply turn the wheel" which should have actually cancelled the emergency brake. I never applied the brakes myself...

    TACC failed to brake at stop, nearly accident.

    You guys brought up some important points that I definitely did not consider while using TACC. I was not aware that the sensors do not detect stationary objects as I could have sworn from previous experiences that the TACC would lock onto a stopped vehicle in front of me and stop on time -...

    TACC failed to brake at stop, nearly accident.

    I did not brake at all, even at the end. I wanted to show my friend the TACC so I literally let it do its thing. The only thing I did was swerve to the right. I cut the video off, but after the vehicle stopped, it started moving forward again so I applied the brakes to turn off TACC.

    TACC failed to brake at stop, nearly accident.

    Is there an email address I can use to send to Tesla so they can review?

    TACC failed to brake at stop, nearly accident.

    The collision warning came up right before the emergency braking happened. I started to swerve as soon as the collision warning came up.

    TACC failed to brake at stop, nearly accident.

    I was showing a friend TACC and how it works/performs over the weekend and during a mundane red light stop, the TACC failed to brake properly and we almost ended up rear ending the car in front of us. Needless to say, she was less than impressed. I have a dash cam and recorded it here: P85D...

    Another successful Airmatics Lowering Links install (with photos)

    I apologize if this was covered before, but I haven't been able to find the answer. Are installing the links as easy as popping them off and popping the new ones on without need for tools? (aside from tools needed to lift the car up)

    center storage box ... $15 bucks!

    That looks really nice, but doesn't the box just float around in the center every time you accelerate or brake harder than normal?

    Hi Chris, I ordered and sent payment on Jan 10, but did not receive shipping confirmation yet. I also e-mailed you about two weeks ago but did not receive a reply. Were you able to send this out? Panjo Order #: 42085-214-19169

    Changing back to Non Staggered Setup?

    I am running squared setup for my 19" winter set. It's been working great for me so far and as a plus I will be able to rotate them for next time around.

    TPMS Sensors on newer VIN are different

    Hey guys, Just wanted to give you guys heads up that cars with newer VINs (56XXXX and up) are equipped with Continental tire pressure configuration instead of the Baolong which has been used up until now. Apparently places like Tirerack does not know about this either because they sent me a...

    P85D "Unable to Charge" at Supercharger

    Appreciate the post and updates. I will definitely make a point to visit a Supercharger station prior to committing to any road trips to make sure mine doesn't have the same issues. When I first got my car, I kept on getting the "Unable to Charge - Unplug and try again" when charging from...

    Our hoods are made of aluminum and WILL dent if you drop it like other vehicles' hoods. Always set it down and push down on both sides of the latch.

    Tracking P85D delivery thread

    Just got word from my DS that the "logistics team" is holding my car back for "additional safety testing" and that my tentative appointment for Tuesday to pick-up my car will be cancelled and pushed back to an unknown date. Not good!

    Sorry I'm new to this forum so I have not had a chance to keep track of all the dates like some did with the spreadsheet. I did have a screen shot of when it said "Production Complete - Your Model S is being prepared for pickup or delivery" on November 27th if that helps. Model S P85D Steel Grey
