    Amazon After market Spoiler Install

    I used extra tape (see my previous post) to add some extra bonding power to the edges to avoid the gap that some are experiencing. In those places that I added extra tape, I used the adhesion promotor ONLY on the underside of the spoiler. I did not use any on the body of the car itself. Given...

    Amazon After market Spoiler Install

    As promised, here is my MS with the spoiler for JC Motorsport installed. It went on very easily and is locked down tight. Just went through a torrential south Florida tropical downpour (talking inches of rain in less than an hour) and the water completely wicked away down the sides or over the...

    I am giving the MS a good cleaning tomorrow and will take a couple of photos of the installed spoiler.

    Amazon After market Spoiler Install

    JC Sportline on Amazon had the spoiler for $199 for the longest time. It was reduced VERY briefly to $159 before it shot back up to $199, and now $289. It seems to fluctuate with the Chinese economy. Since they are tanking at the moment, along with our markets, I would give it a little time...

    Amazon After market Spoiler Install

    I have to reiterate what Steph280 said. With some prep work, ensuring everything is clean and taking your time, the spoiler looks amazing. I too love the gloss look of the spoiler over the matte OEM install. The CF really pops. As to the question about doubling up the tape or silicone. The...

    Amazon After market Spoiler Install

    Really sorry to hear about the problems that some are having with the spoiler. I installed mine today and hoping for the best. Using the tape provided, I added an additional 2" strip to each corner and a 6" strip in the center using another roll of 3M D/S molding tape I purchased. As I did...

    Amazon After market Spoiler Install

    Just got mine today from JS Motorsports on Amazon. Bit the bullet and paid the $199 as I think the $154 was a finger slip that they quickly fixed. Anyway, it got here in 5 days like the others have reported on here. Only difference being is that I am in South Florida. Not too bad considering...

    The Tesla App could be so much better

    With all the speculation going on with regards to whether now is the right time for Apple to buy Tesla, should be an interesting couple of months. Grab your popcorn, pull up a chair and let's see how things unfold. Could the "Apple of cars" truly become an Apple car? Talk about crazy...

    Thanks Mankanstar. Was your wing purchased from JSC Motorsports on Amazon? I like the glossy surface. How long did it take to arrive once you placed the order?

    Amazon After market Spoiler Install

    Thanks Majerus. Too bad I didn't just go with my gut and order it and take my chances. Price went from the $150, up to $240, and now down to $230 in about 12 hours. Seems the company pegs the price of this spoiler to the Chinese stock market. :confused:

    I believe the answer is no, but figured I would ask anyhow. Is there any reason this would not fit on a 2015? I see it listed as 2012-2014 but don't believe there were any body modifications. Many thanks.

    20" Wheels and TPMS

    Got my MS back from the S/C today and as promised, photos of the new shoes. Folks over at the S/C were loving them. They are Forgestar F14 in glossy gunmetal. 20x9 up front, 20x10.5 in the rear. As it happens, it is not enough that the MS can now recognize new TPMS sensors through the...

    20" Wheels and TPMS

    Unfortunately my MS fell prey to the dreaded leaking Pano roof virus. It went back to the S/C on Saturday to remedy that problem and in the process square away the "TPMS never being satisfied regardless of wheel diameter and tire pressure" issue. Hopefully getting it back tomorrow.

    20" Wheels and TPMS

    Put new 20" wheels on the car today, with new TPMS sensors. After a few miles of driving, the car recognized that there were new wheels and asked if they were 19" or 21". Being that these tires are much bigger than the 19"s, I opted for the 21" option. It successfully communicated and accepted...

    Heavy rains in Missouri. Free shower from my pano roof.

    3 week old 85D. We are in monsoon season here in South Florida and the MS experienced its first storm parked outside. Got in, put it in reverse, and it was as if the pano was open. First dropped a few ounces on me, then the wife got a few ounces on her... it's only fair right? :smile...

    Model S - Window Tinting

    I am having my MS done on Wednesday as well at Auto Supersport in Boca Raton. They are putting on Photosync 35 on the sides and rear hatch, with 75 on the windshield. Will give an update once I have had a chance to drive around with it in daylight and nighttime.

    24 hours with my first Model S

    The bit about missing the sound of the engine. I agree to some extent. There is a bit of rush when you hear that guttural sound of a well tuned exhaust. That being said, I am over hearing these obnoxious coffee can, $1.99 exhaust systems coming off these 4-bangers pushing 150hp. I was out...

    24 hours with my first Model S

    Congratulations on your new ride. I too just took delivery a few days ago and if I created a list of "nice to haves" we would be pretty spot on with one another. Well written and well thought out.

    Stagger or no Stagger?

    With my new wheels being made, still haven't decided on which rubber to put on. Michelin PSS's were the first choice but are sold out with no ETA. Next choice was ContiExtreme DW's for their wet traction, noise, and treadlife. Third were the Hankook Ventus. Anyone have any input on the...

    What Swag did Tesla give you at delivery?

    The West Palm Service Center was a tad on the cheap side. 2 FOB holders and a disconnected rear vent. :wink: Great group of people over there however. Made for a pleasurable experience despite the 96 degrees and 96% humidity.

    Just picked up my S85D today. I am happy to report that the car came with LTE already enabled. According to my DS, mine was only the third car he has delivered with it.

    Stagger or no Stagger?

    I pick up my S85D tomorrow with the standard 19's. I had originally ordered the 21's but figured for $4500 I can get a nice set of 20's cheaper. I ordered a set of staggered 20x9, 20x10.5 +35 Forgestar F14s. As it was mentioned earlier.. I just love how the car sits with the staggered set up...

    Gorgeous car. Almost went with Blue but changes to Pearl White just before confirmation. Ours is being delivered tomorrow. Many happy and safe miles with it.

    Supercharger - West Palm Beach, FL (SC, closed)

    I will be picking up my car there next week. I will try and take a few pic's to post. When I was there for my test drive a few weeks back it looked complete but can't comment on the 24-hour availability. Not the greatest of neighborhoods so wouldn't be shocked if they closed the fences in the...

    Tracking Model S 85D Delivery Thread

    Called in to my DS to get a status on the car being is was put on the train back on 6/3, with a prospective delivery date of 6/18 on the MVPA. Car will be here early next week, with delivery scheduled for 10a, a week from Thursday. I can almost taste it!

    Thrilled new Customer

    Congratulations! and welcome! Can't wait to see photos when you take delivery. Exciting times lie ahead! While no state tax deduction deadlines loom overhead, as there is no state tax :wink:, I truly wish the train to Florida would pick up a little steam.

    Final MVPA and Estimated Delivery Date?

    Hey all.. just noticed that on the final MVPA it lists a prospective delivery date as "Vehicle To Be Delivered On or About". My question is, from those of you who have already taken delivery, how reliable is that date? Many thanks.

    Very nice! Saw the Larte package for the Tesla a while back. Like the new body panels, painted rockers.. not over-the-top. Any shots of the rear end and diffuser?

    Tracking Model S 85D Delivery Thread

    That is amazing. Good for you! Not having your charging station is a high class problem. When we first bought our Leaf, they didn't even have in-home charging ports yet. As Cyclone said, life could be worse having to charge off of 120v. As an aside, for all you South Floridians out...

    Tracking Model S 85D Delivery Thread

    About 5 days.. 3 business days. Went very quick through the line. 5/29 - 6/3. Unfortunately I am probably the further you can get away from the factory in the continental US. So the train ride down here is going to be painfully slow. Still showing a Late June delivery date.

    Too funny not to share

    What's even more ridiculous... I am getting those same service notices, along with incessant telephone calls from Nissan saying its time for an oil change on my Leaf. When I bought the car, the service manager tried to sell me an extended service plan. Here was the kicker.. FREE OIL CHANGES...

    Window tinting

    Could you perhaps share what the Photosync tint costs? All of the previous tinting experiences I've had have been with whatever the installer uses. I like what you said about the Photosync having a slight blueish hue as I think that would go well with the Pearl White. More importantly though...

    Tracking Model S 85D Delivery Thread

    Hang strong @travwill... as I understand it, production is based model type and final destination. Chi-town is a hop, skip, and a jump from Fremont. While getting it produced may be a bit delayed, your transit time should be less than half of what it will take for mine to get down here...

    A quick update on my S85D. I noticed it moved back into the production queue this morning, only to have the status updated to "In Transit" this evening. Unfortunately I am still slated for a Late June delivery but I have to say the production of the car has been like a whirlwind. From order...

    Window tinting

    While it may not be a law on the books, it is an ethical question that many in Florida are against. Do not be surprised if there are police waiting at your car, some angry people waiting for you, or at worst, a popped window or door lock, if you leave your beloved dog in the car. Think about...
