    Are there resources to purchase branded Tesla's? Where can I find them? I'm in the market.

    Software Update 2018.39.5 a1c2332 (first 9.0 release)

    I'll add my two cents... normally I am cool with much that Tesla rolls out/updates. 9.0 is a complete debacle at least for my MS. I actually called Tesla support to share my issues after updating. These issues still exist a week and a half later and after rebooting the MCU several times, AND...

    Any interest in rebuilt title Model S cars?

    How does service work if the vehicle is rooted and you take it in for an annual, say? What vehicles do you have available right now? What are the asking prices? I'm looking at a 2015 CPO S85D @ $50,100, however, would prefer something newer/refreshed.

    Tesla offered early lease end opportunity

    After speaking to my loyalty advisor I expect to take a pass on the early lease return. In his conversation with me, the only plusses he provided were that I would not have to pay the disposal fee ($375) nor any mileage overages (Right now maybe $1500). He, of course, pushed the $7500 credit and...

    Tesla offered early lease end opportunity

    I have been made this offer too. Have not yet spoken to my advisor about it. There are some fantastic demo's at pretty good reductions out there right now. My thinking is that they want to unload as many of the S and X as possible before the $7500 credit drops to $3750 (including demos) as in...

    Did you name your Model S, and if so, what?

    Mine is just, "Tessie".

    Unicorns

    I was told by my Tesla lease facilitator (up in Feb 2019) that my 2015 S85 executive configuration is a unicorn. I actually do like that there is no headrest in the middle to obscure my rear view further, and the seats are quite bucketed and comfortable!

    Tracking the new maps rollout

    I received my map update yesterday, or overnight on Sunday. I didn't actually know I had the update until I got in the car as I suspect my son may have accepted the update. I was connected to my Wifi when I was notified of the update. I am in Cypress (Houston) Texas.

    2014 P85 Gets a 2017 facelift using OEM parts

    So interested in doing this... it seems that gap is the only real issue. On another thread, there was talk about custom 3d printing a part. Any other solutions out there?

    USB Audio Random Actually Random Now

    I have not checked on the issue of retaining the current song being played when returning back to USB from another source. My vehicle is not equipped with XM, so I cannot speak to that either. There is still one bug or issue that I am still experiencing, which is if I leave my vehicle with USB...

    USB Audio Random Actually Random Now

    Last week I took my MS in for service to replace my driver handle that decided it no longer wanted to extend (Early 2015 S85). During the visit, they updated my firmware to 17.18.50. I was very pleased to see when I picked up my car and as I do whenever there is a firmware update, checked...

    HVAC/Air Conditioning

    My biggest complaint about MS is the HVAC system. I feel terrible for folks who have to sit in the back seat of my car.

    Does anyone foresee Model S updates with the Model 3 on the way?

    The 3, S, & X share enough visual DNA that I don't think there will be much change of the appearance of the S or X anytime soon. I agree with others that there will be incremental updates to functionality and perhaps interior with the new Volvo hire.

    MS Questions

    $595 is a steal for registration! I was living in NV when I obtained my MS. NV registration is 2% of MSRP (no state income tax? They get you one way or another!). IIRC I paid something like $1400 for my first year of registration. Moving to TX registration is unbelievably cheap, $50 or so. I...

    New Model S and X Center Console Feedback

    I went back and forth on the center console... I have the yacht floor and have had loaners with the console. Although the yacht floor isn't as useful often times as the console, having that open space provides a much more pleasing front seating area. With the console and the extra bolstered...

    Toddler/child seat installed in MS w/ executive seats

    Yeah, I couldn't figure out how else to run that additional anchor. I suspect it was not a fully thought out portion of the design! That "Y" strap is pretty cool I have to admit. The good news is, by the time the seat goes away, this car will have been replaced with a newer Tesla!

    New Evannex cubby compartment?

    If you have the yacht floor with the Obeche gloss wood the grain runs front/back as well, as opposed to side/side. The same holds true for the rear AC wood, runs vertical.

    Detailed pics of my Executive rear seats in our P90DL

    The hinge on the storage compartment is mostly plastic and has proven easy to break. I imagine as this design was discontinued it won't be an area they address anytime soon. Once the vehicle is out of its warranty period it will just be a, "live with it" flaw. The good thing is that the hinge...

    Detailed pics of my Executive rear seats in our P90DL

    They are much more "bucketed" than the normal bench. I have the same configuration in my early 2015 (Feb 2015 build) just the tan leather as opposed to the black. I really like how much classier it looks inside and don't miss the middle bench. The hinge on the back seat console cover has broken...

    What other cars did you consider when shopping for MS

    They are considered because they exist in a similar price sphere. If I am interested in spending $80k - $140k on a car then there is a fair chance I am not going to look at vehicles that are under that particular price range. From the standpoint of performance, the Tesla is actually dollar for...

    What other cars did you consider when shopping for MS

    I had no other considerations in lieu of a MS at the time I obtained ours. Being a car enthusiast the one thing that I find I complain about is, "What next??" There really aren't any other viable competitors to Tesla for the next little while... so what to do when that itch for another car...

    During all the time you are waiting for your repair, are you in a non-Tesla rental???

    What is the one thing you can change????

    She has tried all manner, just an issue of being just short enough that combined with the rake of the windscreen and the size/shape of the visor it provides inadequate coverage for her.

    Motorized automatic car wash

    Tesla touch up paint is inexpensive and works well enough. The only places I find a pain to clean after running through the auto-brush or brushless wash are the Tesla raised letters on the silver stripe across the back.

    High-Five to the 2.52.22 Update

    This is it- Living in Houston right now I have on many occasions had a smart-ass enormous truck park so close to the driver side door that without Summon I would have either had to hopefully climb across from the passenger or through the trunk.

    How is the linked key fob supposed to work?

    The whole fob 1/ fob 2 was confusing to me, I experience situations where my wife opens the rear passenger door to put our daughter in her seat and when I go to open the front driver door to get in, the seat is adjusting to her setting. Some flexibility perhaps on which handles trigger the...
