I have a 2016 Model S with the UHFS audio system. It's always sounded anemic, lacking 'punch' (for lack of a better description). I want to try upgrading the front door speakers to start since speakers can make a noticeable difference while amplifier power seems adequate based on the specs...

In my case, it was a new house so it was done by the builder (so I assume an electrician). I think there are tools that require 20A outlets so maybe some of the contractors doing some of the finishing work (floors etc) needed a 20A outlet (and couldn't find an adapter) so someone put one in...

The adapter has been claimed. I'm mailing it to jeremymc7 today.

Agree. That's how I first realized the 20A outlet in my garage wasn't on a 20A circuit. I was charging the car using the stock mobile cable adapter (120V 15A) and the car was showing the voltage dropping below 110V with the current at 9A. I wanted to open the outlet to make sure the connections...

I have an unused 5-20 adapter for anyone who wants it (just send me a shipping label). I ordered it thinking I had a 120v 20A outlet in my garage. Turns out that while it was a 20A outlet, it was on a 15A circuit shared with several other things (find me the electrician who thought that was a...

I didn't want the Pano roof either but I did want the premium radio. I was told I needed the pano roof if I wanted Sirius XM because the Antenna was integrated into the glass. I asked if the Sirius XM radio receiver was still included with the Premium Radio even though I didn't get the pano...

I noticed the whine when I took a test drive last July. I described it in this thread. What I didn't post was that the whine was either significantly reduced or completely absent in the 70D when compared to the 85D and P85D. There's no way for me to know if it's because the 70D has less...

I had a February delivery date set when I ordered in October. I got the call about a week ago asking if I wanted to accelerate the delivery date (and still get a 2016 VIN) but I said I wanted to wait for February. Today I got an email saying a VIN has been assigned. The email shows a late...

Now there's an option to get the 70 without the dual motor So as I'm leaning towards the Model S 70D, Tesla adds the option to get it without the dual motor. Seems the dual motor on the 70 adds ~10 miles of range and 13 HP. Seems the dual motor makes things more efficient but as I said in my...

Drove the P85D and 70D I drove both the P85D and 70D yesterday. I took them up and down the same canyon road I drove the 85D on last week. The P85 had 21" wheels and air suspension. The 70D had 19" wheels and standard suspension. Both of these were a little more stiff than the 85D with 19"...

Great comments on how you all feel about the various options. I think I'm narrowing it down some but I still want to try the canyon road again with both the P85D and the 70D. As I said before, the 85D was great so let me see how much greated the P85 is and see if I notice anything significantly...

Test Drove an 85D Today It had the Pano-roof, Standard Interior, Next Gen Seats, Standard Audio and the 19" wheels. I was only aware of the Pano roof at the start of the test drive and I kind of figured out the rest as I was going. I did notice radiant heat from the pano-roof (83 deg in...

Correct. I'm not a speed demon but I like having the power to pass when needed plus my daily commute has me on a canyon road that has a pretty steep climb for about a half mile of its 3 mile length. I assume the torque of all versions of the model S would handle that well. Maybe they'll let me...

I'm not sure what happened but I replied to several suggestions made here but only one of my replies made it to the thread. I'm not going to go back and recreate each reply but they essentially boil down to.... 1) I'll have to compare the pano roof a non-pano roof to compare before deciding to...

I'm glad to see some confirmation of my thoughts on the pano roof. I'll still have to try the car with both before I order. Thanks for your other inputs as well.

I'm amazed at all the comments posted in just 7 hours. It will take me a while to read through them all before responding. Thanks for all the feedback. I wish I was able to edit the thread subject to fix the spelling of 'community'. - - - Updated - - - Thanks, I'll have to drive both before...

I’m getting ready to order a Model S and want to get some opinions on the various options. I’ve read a lot on the Tesla forums but want to run my thoughts past the community. I'm considering the 85(D) over the P85D because I know I’ll rarely if ever use the acceleration available on the P...
