    Model S Refresh - sliding center console door no longer stays open

    Happened to me too at 9K miles (8 months old). They ended up replacing my entire center console.

    Plaid Suspension / Steering clicking issue.

    That is definitely what was happening to my MS LR within a few weeks of my receiving the car. The fixed it by retorquing the suspension. See the attached portion of my invoice for that service.

    I used the Other option for something not listed in the menus.

    Trunk Cover Still Not Provided

    I took delivery on Dec. 7 without the cover for the lower cubby. I did have the privacy cover. I put in a service request and mobile service delivered my cubby cover on the 23rd.

    Plaid Suspension / Steering clicking issue.

    I am having this exact issue with my MS LR after about 225 miles. As others reported, it's happening during one-half to full turns of the yoke at slow speeds. I do not notice any other issues with steering performance but the sound is noticeable even in the car and louder outside the car. I am...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I finally took delivery today after 10 months and three days of waiting. Meet White Lightning! She was perfect, no quality issues at all, no panel gaps, no scratches (interior and exterior), just an amazing car. A '22 VIN NF458XXX. As was the case with others, I am missing the cover for the...

    Home delivery appointment confirmed for Tuesday Dec 7 @ 2PM. I was not aware they are doing home deliveries in Houston. Hopefully they show up on time because I want to inspect it before it’s dark. They’ll be taking my Model 3 LR as a trade-in. 10 more sleeps! It’s hard to believe I’ll receive...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I guess the question is what DOES make a difference? There seems to be no logic to it. Yeah, I know, it's the monkey but really -- why do people who order in August and September get their cars before people who order in February? We'll never know because Tesla will never tell you (do they even...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Hi everyone. Putting this out there for what it is -- one data point from one Tesla employee who we all know have little to no more info than we do. It seemed to confirm my suspicions so I am sharing. Today I took my Model 3 into the North Houston service center for out-of-warranty service and...

    One thing I have learned in this process is that order date has very little to do with when you will receive your car.

    Interesting that you have MG-- instead of MF--. I wonder what that indicates?

    I feel the same way about my LR that I ordered on 4-Feb at $10K lower than today's price. I have seen others with the exact same config get their car already (who ordered after the price increase).

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I am a Texas resident too. I think (but could be wrong) that since Texas residents pay for and own the car before it leaves California, all Texas orders are considered delivered once they leave California -- meaning that an EOQ departure of Dec 31 that is delivered in January is still an EOQ...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I feel for you ... it's really frustrating. I was hopeful that I would not be in the next EOQ rush but they updated me yesterday to Dec 16-31 so yeah, I will be an EOQ victim it seems. And I will be away the week after Christmas.

    Be sure and check Tesla.com/inventory since you are ordering a Plaid and there are quite a few new ones in inventory available for immediate delivery depending on your location.

    I am really happy for you but BEYOND frustrated with Tesla. I have the exact same config as you, RN11446, ordered on 4-Feb and my most recent EDD is now Dec 17-Jan 6!!! I wonder if you got in after the price increases? I called to complain today but got the normal Tesla blah blah blah from the...

    Plaid or LR? I have the same config in a LR that I ordered on 4-Feb (RN 1144-) and lost what was my Dec 4-24 EDD a few days ago. It's blank now.

    The USB stick won't last very long. Flash memory is not rated for the high rate of read/writes that happen with the Sentry cam so you are better off with the SSD (when Sentry is working in the SW).

    I see you have all weather floor mats. Does Tesla stock them for the refreshed S or are you using pre-refresh versions?

    The average Wh/mi on the Plaid should be closer to 350 I think (not looking at the exact figure now). On my LR M3 I average around 250.

    Siemens versicharge not charging model 3

    I’ve been using the Siemens VC30BLKR Versicharge 30-Amp Rear Fed Electric Vehicle Charger successfully for years, first with a Volt, then an S, and now with my 3 with no problems. I would guess your Model 3 cannot reliably detect the amp charge load. You might try setting it to a lower max load...

    Charging restarts early after scheduled charging finishes

    For me personally, I have not had this issue since upgrading to 2018.10.5. I presume that is due to the modified unlock code in this release because my car doesn’t wake up every time I walk past. Now I generally have to press in the door handle, then it will wake up.

    Charging restarts early after scheduled charging finishes

    What you describe is similar to what I am seeing, except in my case it only started charging again when I walked past the car with my phone, waking it up. I was on 2018.4.9 until yesterday evening when I got 2018.10.5. I’ll report back if this FW changes the behavior. I suspect it will for me...

    Charging restarts early after scheduled charging finishes

    I am seeing a strange behavior with my Model 3. I use scheduled overnight charging, which finishes by early morning. If I am not using the car, but leave it plugged in as recommended by Tesla, later in the day I walk past the car in the garage with my phone. This wakes up the car and it starts...

    Unlocking charge port with J1772 adapter from console

    In my S, it was not necessary to disconnect the adapter from the J1772 plug. Once I had opened the door of the car, the charge port became unlocked and I could simply remove the entire assembly - adapter and plug. This is more convenient for me so I don't need to keep track of the adapter and...

    Unlocking charge port with J1772 adapter from console

    Thank you @iluvmacs , I had not tried unplugging my J1772 from the adapter as I never had to do that with my S. Strange... I'll give it a try tonight and report back my own findings here.

    My issue is not opening it, but unlocking it so you can remove the J1772 adapter.

    Unlocking charge port with J1772 adapter from console

    I use a J1772-based charger at my home and with my Model S it was sufficient to open the car door and the charge port would unlock so I could remove the cable. With the 3, pressing the “Open Charge Port” button on the center console has no effect on the lock. Instead, I have to use the Tesla app...

    Texas Hold Up!

    I took delivery yesterday in Houston. I only got to drive the car for an hour before I had to go on a trip (by plane), so I will have a more full report next week. But in that one hour, I was very impressed by the car!

    Did you get this by email? Was that after submitting your final payment? I have the submit final payment action on the My Account page with final amount due, but there is no final paperwork. I assume you got that only after making the final payment?

    I configured on 1/18 and got my VIN this afternoon. I was a bit surprised to get a VIN in the high 4600, since I have seen lots of VINs in the 5K, 6K and even 8K range (earlier in this thread). It makes me think my car was produced some time ago and no delivery was taken? LR, PUP, Deep Blue...
