    Beeping from rear speaker

    i also got that while driving on the freeway. the car is only a few weeks old so i wasn't sure if it was "normal" or what but i pulled over and as soon as the parking sensor went off, it eliminated the sound. i should have thought to just reboot the center display. it was a bit nerve racking at...

    Is this normal? Noise while driving

    you guys are awesome. this has been bugging the crap out of me since delivery 3 weeks ago and i thought it was normal because i did notice it during a test drive on another car prior to delivery...

    LED Interior/Trunk lighting in P85+ - Standard or option?

    Ah I see. What a bummer that they switched to the warmer cooler. I prefer the cooler look as I believe it gives it a more modern feel...

    LED Interior/Trunk lighting in P85+ - Standard or option?

    I was given a P85+ loaner and noticed that the interior lighting (dome lights, etc.) and trunk lighting was LED. Was this a standard feature or option for the P85+? Or did the SC upgrade the lighting? I don't have any first hand experience with any of the MS variants prior to the P85D so excuse...

    Car thinks someone is still sitting inside?

    A quick update - it was in fact, a sensor issue, and a new one is on its way. eujinc, I suggest you give your SC a heads up on a potential failed sensor as well... Thanks for the help.

    Liger in My Frunk

    Wow that's awesome. I'll admit - I'd probably leave a stain in my underwear if I saw that thing up close :)

    Are the OEM Michelin tires that much better than the OEM Continental?

    Thanks for the feedback so far. Is the + suspension different than the D? That may also explain the difference in overall feel. Regardless, I do prefer the Michelin PSS tires over the Continental and will be making the change soon. It's a shame that they made a change in tire selection for the...

    Are the OEM Michelin tires that much better than the OEM Continental?

    I have been driving a P85+ loaner all day today and was boggled at how much better the ride felt compared to our P85D. Both cars have 21" wheels and air suspension. I was trying to figure out how the car felt and drove noticeably better than our car -- until it hit me that the newer cars (ours...

    Strange Proximity Sensor Behavior

    funny you posted this -- today i was driving on the freeway normally, enjoying some music, when i noticed this beeping sound. i thought i was going crazy or that maybe it was the music; then i muted it and it was still there. i pulled over into a parking plaza and as soon as the parking sensors...

    $450 vs $1000? I'll take the $450 version any day -- as long as they look the same. Good luck with the sale OP

    Did anyone order their P85D with the premium interior package?

    Supercharger - Rancho Cucamonga, CA (12 V2 stalls)

    nice to know some people on here are visiting this station. love that there are many places to grab a bite (or drink) while waiting. i've waved at a few others but i suppose that's "tesla etiquette" -- a couple stay to themselves; nothing wrong with that.

    Anyone with a white MS black the chrome accents out?

    I was wondering if anyone here with a white MS has had the chrome accents (window trim, mirrors, front "grill") wrapped in black vinyl? I plan on doing this and was interested in seeing some photos. I've seen black and red MS'es with the black accents and think it looks great. Hoping it looks as...

    Car thinks someone is still sitting inside?

    Coming up on two weeks of ownership and lately our MS has decided to [possibly] "act up." I have the walk-away door locks activated and the feature has been working fine until recently. The climate, radio, and headlights (at night) still remain on when I exit the car -- and no, I do not have the...

    Driver's window not closing all the way - has anyone had this problem?

    Thanks for the input and suggestions. I tried the reset but no luck. Looks like I'll be contacting the service center.

    Driver's window not closing all the way - has anyone had this problem?

    A little over a week after delivery and already a problem! A bit disappointed but what could you do. My driver's side window does not close all the way. At first, I thought it may have been a seal problem with the triangular window (others have reported having this issue which I initially...

    Wind Noise

    i started to develop a wind noise only a week after delivery and came across this thread. initially i thought it was coming from the triangular window by the driver's mirror also, but it turns out that the driver's side window does not roll up all the way. i noticed it when i stepped out of the...

    Anyone Thinking of Blacking out the headlights?

    i was actually thinking about getting this done (and kind of being the experimental goat). i had the headlights painted black on our GTR and it looks much better in my opinion. trying to imagine how it would look on the tesla. maybe i'll talk to some of my photoshop guru friends to get an idea....

    Tracking P85D Next Generation Seats Delivery Thread

    i was expecting it to be. however, i did make a slight change to my order after it was sent (but not confirmed) and the rear NG seats were no longer pictured; though the price was still at $3500. i guess it would be more of a website issue at that point. the DS did mention that there was a...

    Ordered S85 3/13/15 - Let's track this thing out!

    JimmyAZ, was May the earliest delivery date available? If so, I'm a bit surprised. Our P85D was confirmed on 3/23 and began production yesterday (4/13) with a Late April delivery. I would have thought your car should have began production before ours.

    Had a chance to black out some of the chrome on the car

    Looks real good, especially on grey. Be careful of the chrome police critics on here though. Are you going to do the window trim? Looks a bit odd now that everything else is blacked out. Was it tough to do without removing the parts? I'm guessing a lot of masking tape was used.

    Brain impact from launches ?

    Couldn't have said it better. Either some people should have stuck to their Prius, or their friends who conplain should just stick to their town cars. Can't believe this is a serious thread/issue.
