    Owners putting a higher trim badge on is one thing but this is pretty funny

    on the other hand, this is how my car is badged. a little geeky humor for your Friday :) it's from the novel Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Douglas Adams), if you're unfamiliar with the phrase.

    If you Do Not Order Autopilot Convenience Features do you get Cruise Control?

    i'm a relatively new (2 months) MS85 owner and FWIW, one of my very favorite (and most used) features is TACC. i absolutely love it for stop and go traffic, among other uses. my $0.02

    Window Gunk

    (not so) funny, i just had this happen yesterday. i've only had my MS for a few weeks and there's been no issues of any kind until now. upon rolling up the window yesterday we found very much the same as shown in the photo above. the stuff is so sticky i was able to pull some off then use it to...

    FasTrak toll road transponder in nose cone?

    i've only had my MS for a few weeks but i've tested this approach 2X so far and it's worked like a charm. thanks to the forum for the suggestion! my DS didn't have any guidance when i asked.

    TACC works when used properly, in my car at least

    Likewise! I'm glad to see your post. It's only been a few weeks as an owner for me, but so far, I am quite enamored with TACC, and use it frequently. It comes in quite handy during stop and go traffic, I find. Sure, I have seen oddities when people unexpectedly cut in at high speed and the like...

    SOC in the evening vs the next morning (-3 miles)

    thanks, evan. i assumed vampire drain could be a contributor but wouldn't have guessed it was that high. i will check the settings for sure.

    SOC in the evening vs the next morning (-3 miles)

    hi there, i'm a new (<2 week) owner so still very new to the amazing Model S experience. i've been tracking my daily SOC for a variety of reasons, and noticed that my morning SOC is typically ~3 mi of rated range lower than where i left it after my daily commute home the evening before. in...

    cleaning the microfiber cloth (for use in cleaning the display...)

    seems like a silly question but as a new owner i've got tons of 'em :) how do you clean the microfiber cloth that is used to clean the display screen? it seems that will get munged up pretty quickly given it's primary purpose is to remove finger grease from the screen. i searched the forums and...

    in production! production time vs. delivery question

    is yours a D? i ask because it seems like the Ds are coming off just fine and perhaps the non-Ds are moving more slowly. admittedly i've not scanned the spreadsheet in full detail but a quick look suggests that may be true.

    in production! production time vs. delivery question

    final update! after 27 days in production, things finally wrapped up and i took delivery on 5/9. phew! needless to say i'm a happy camper now. that said, of course there was no update available regarding why the car took so long vs many others including those described on this thread. oh well...

    in production! production time vs. delivery question

    further update Hi all, Just spoke to my DS and it appears there has been no status change since our last chat on Monday. The car is still pending entering general assembly. So it's not moving forward and seemingly no information available as to why that he's able to see/share. That's 19 days...

    in production! production time vs. delivery question

    precisely my thoughts. seeing the recent total production times in the spreadsheet definitely set my expectations to a place that doesn't seem valid at the present time.

    in production! production time vs. delivery question

    further update- after 14 days in production (notice came apr 10), today's update isn't exactly what i was hoping for: "The paint has been completed on your vehicle and it should be moving onto general assembly today. Once it’s in the final stages of production we will isolate a date and time...

    How its made tesla model s

    Great video. I also love the Megafactories piece but this one does a better job showing the details of elements like the motor assembly!

    Model S for commuters?

    another favorable vote here! that said, i've not yet taken delivery, but my commute sounds quite similar to yours. sounds like the opinion of the group is very supportive as well!

    in production! production time vs. delivery question

    my S85 is finally in production! looking at the spreadsheet tracker it seems like 3-5 days in production is pretty typical. what's not clear to me is when cars are typically ready for pickup in fremont. how long does it take? what happens between manufacturing and pickup? i know delivery adds...

    Mine was assigned the day before and it's 81338. I guess that tells us something about the order rate!

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    woohoo, first post for me! i've been lurking for a while as did my homework, but since i finally pulled the trigger on an S 85 order last week, it's time to change that! the timeline i was given for delivery is May. gosh, how will i wait that long? i'm already in the habit of reloading the page...
