    Supercharger - Garden Grove, CA (LIVE 8 March 2024, 32 V3 stalls)

    Good to know. It's my first time visiting a 250 kW location let alone having a vehicle capable of handling that much power input. I'll try another one next time I'm low to see what happens. It's too bad Tesla doesn't provide a mechanism to easily report stuff like this.

    Supercharger - Garden Grove, CA (LIVE 8 March 2024, 32 V3 stalls)

    I decided to give this location a try since I have yet to test Supercharging on my new S. I was at 30% and it stayed between 40-45 kW the entire time. I don't think I was sharing power with anyone else (no one parked next to me) but I did notice a stall nearby had a D letter so perhaps A through...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    This case works on other wireless charging so I'm just stumped as to why this particular charging pad requires no case. I am using https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CBBKM879/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 which is nothing special. It's quite thin on the backside.

    I have a thinner TPU case on my iPhone 15 Pro. Putting it on the pad with the TPU case on, nothing. Taking the case off, the phone starts charging. Granted, you need to position it juuuust right, but it works. I suppose having a separate thread about this would be best.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    So the wireless phone charging actually works, but only if the naked phone is sitting on the pad. I have a fairly thin TPU case so I'm now wondering if there are any aftermarket products that can perhaps replace this to make it stronger because removing the case is not sustainable. I added an...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Thanks for reminding me about the owner's manual. I checked https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/models/en_us/GUID-A1DF67DE-94B4-4859-98B4-B0A5D342FAB3.html which describes the USB ports and wireless charging. I have a feeling that the two USB ports in the front of the center console is not...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I just got my car back from tint/wrap/ceramic work this morning so I was able to circle back on this. How the heck do I get under the wireless charging space under the touch screen? I felt around in the deep end of the front of the center console but didn't feel anything that seemed like a USB...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I traded in my 2018 Model S to Tesla earlier this week when picking up my 2024 Model S. They gave me a trade-in estimate of 26k which specifically said FSD would stay with the vehicle but FUSC would be transferring to the new one. When I raised this to my SA, the quote was updated to reflect...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Dumb question. Is the space under the 17" touchscreen that holds two phones supposed to charge via a wireless pad underneath? It doesn't appear to do that but I don't know if that's to be expected. I'm afraid to try to open things up to dig around, and don't currently have the car for a few days...

    Swap my Dark Wood for Carbon Fiber 2021.5 - 2022 Model S

    I don't really prefer the wood in my MSLR and would prefer a black or white option. Dare I suggest a meet up to rip the interiors apart and do a swap? :P Mostly kidding, but I'm thinking gettng the $100 vinyl thicker 3M wraps from either RPM (local to me) or Twraps. @iyordanov, can you advise...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I picked up my MSLR (blue/white/19"/wheel) just now. It looks to be just about perfect. No noticeable flaws in the paint nor any other physical issues, except for a few tiny bits of residue from adhesive and whatever else they do related to production and shipping. Definitely no camera on the...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Great points, though as far as I'm aware California doesn't give credit for trade-in like other states do, so I'd be paying full sales tax on the new Model S anyway. The only benefit now is the 5,000 Supercharger miles (apparently are valid for two years) which seems like a waste on me anyway...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    My SA told me that the rumor about the bumper camera and other changes to the S is not true (with confidence), but part of me was wondering whether that was being said as a way to avoid me changing the order so I take delivery tomorrow as planned. I did a call shortly after informing me about a...

    That's a great note. I have delivery scheduled for Monday. If I were to mess with it in the off chance these items make their way into the new vehicle, it puts transferring FSD and FUSC at risk.

    This is awesome! I'm hoping this is the same for MSLR. Can whoever on this thread that had theirs delivered yesterday or the day before check and chime in? I'm debating whether to see if the delivery center could check for me (appointment is on Monday), but am trying not to be annoying. :) This...

    Is it possible to buy a yoke afterward and swap out yourself or does it have to be done via a service technician?

    I just got a notification from TeslaFi that a VIN has been assigned to my order.

I now have a 7...

    Dumb question, but is the PPF only added to the Plaid vehicles? I may have missed it but which parts of the car were covered? I seem to recall dozens of pages ago something about it only being part of the back, but maybe I misunderstood.

    Thanks for inserting that table again. I remember seeing it a few pages back but this new context makes it even more helpful. I guess you're now just waiting for them to tell you to pick a delivery date, which I assume happens once they receive the car at the delivery center. What activities...

    That's an interesting theory. My EDD changed to a 3 week window as of this morning. I'm curious what people have seen as far as getting their VIN assigned in number of days after their EDD window has tightened. After the VIN is assigned, what's the typical timing from there?

    I'm interested in installing my Blackvue into a 2024 Model S but noticed that the little grill above the rear view mirror is not present so I'm not sure where people are tapping into power. I couldn't seem to find any YouTube videos showing the newer Model S installation. Anyone have any advice?

    Yes, it was incredibly frustrating to me because all had some form of difficulties and most didn't end up being usable. I ultimately used Intesigroup because it was the only one that I could get to work. I'm not sure why they required this third party authentication. It seemed like overkill to me.

    I ordered 2/6 when EDD said February to March. It changed last week to February 29 to March 31. The SA who has been corresponding with me the most said it would be no problem to switch to an inventory car but it doesn't seem like the inventory in Southern California is changing much. I've...

    new offer from tesla to transfer supercharging to 2024 model

    I would only pull the trigger if I could transfer both FUSC and FSD together. Holding out hope that they add that in next month to push more sales through.

    Tesla unable to transfer FSD due to firmware compatibility?

    I also had noticed this among the three vehicle purchases in my household. For my first Model S in 2016, the car had the bow on it, you got a nice assortment of gifts, the delivery center wasn't crazy busy, and the delivery specialist was great to go over everything, spending as much as 30...
