    WiFi and LTE Keeps Flipping

    So what is the IP space that the car uses internally? I had issues using my new Google Wifi access points where the car would connect, but Slacker would not stream, and web pages would not load in the in-car browser. Every other device on my home's Google Wifi mesh network worked perfectly...

    Wifi Problem (streaming Audio)

    I'm having the same issue in a Model S, interested to see what anyone finds out about the issue. Every other device in the house works perfectly on my network except the Tesla, where it acts like it has no connection.

    AutoPilot 2 Delivery Thread

    Is Summon currently working on AP2 cars? Autopark?

    AutoPilot 2 Delivery Thread

    Let us know what Autopilot features are enabled upon delivery! Elon said the new Autopilot 2 software would be available in December. Wondering what features are offered on the cars rolling off the line now.

    Update to the Supercharger network policies

    I guess we knew it wouldn't be free forever. Especially with people abusing it for local charging.

    I received my VIN for my 75D on October 23rd and was told my car was scheduled for End-of-Line (finished production) on November 21st.

    AutoPilot 2 Delivery Thread

    Thanks for the post(s)! It has been oddly quiet around here regarding AP2 production/deliveries. Elon said cars made after October 10th would be equipped with AP2.... it seems odd to me that no one on the west coast has taken delivery of one yet (21 days after production started).

    I was hoping to start a thread for people to share information about AP2 equipped vehicle deliveries. I'll pitch in to start :) My 75D order was: Ordered: October 15th Confirmed: October 23rd VIN Assigned: October 23rd Order Change for Enhanced Autopilot Confirmed: October 27th Delivery...

    Order a 70D and OTA upgrade to 75D later?

    Thanks for the info. It would be great if Tesla would tell their advisors as well :| Sometimes Tesla stores don't feel that different to traditional dealerships when it comes to getting straight answers to seemingly basic questions.

    Order a 70D and OTA upgrade to 75D later?

    Thanks, have you seen anything officially stating that? I don't know if Owner Advisors get any kind of commission or anything, but it did sound like he was shaking me down for a higher sticker price sale.

    Order a 70D and OTA upgrade to 75D later?

    I asked my Owner Advisor yesterday if I could place an order for a 70D today and take delivery of a 70D. Then, 6 months down the road for example - pay the $3k or whatever to enable the additional 5 kwh capacity? He said he wasn't sure it would work that way -if you place a 70D order now that...

    70kwh packs in the refresh are really 75kwh

    Will the OTA update also unlock the '75' badge on the back of the car? :) Maybe they'll start making the badges e-paper displays.

    2016 Model S Refresh Mega-thread

    It doesn't seem like its matter of Tesla 'putting it on everybody's cars during assembly, because some or most people will need them'..... since Model X does not ship with the front plate holder installed.

    2016 Model S Refresh Mega-thread

    BMW and Porsche seem to be able to manage details like this. Probably other car manufacturers that I don't have first hand experience with as well. This seems like a big screw up to me... unless the tag holder can be removed with no damage to the bumper underneath.

    2016 Model S Refresh Mega-thread

    Wow so who screwed that up? If that's the real reason, that's a serious rookie mistake. Crash testing with an accessory part installed? There are 19 states that don't require a front plate.

    Autopilot swerving on freeway with distinct lane markings!

    I wonder if the new radar placement on the updated Model S nose will help the issue with hill crests and line of sight? It seems like moving the radar sensor from it's current location (close to the road surface) to a higher position (where it can see further down the road over more road...

    2016 Model S Refresh Mega-thread

    You and me both!

    Will battery price really go down? As demand increases, price of raw resource will likely rise.

    So we have 3 examples of how capacity increases are handled. with 60 to 70, no price increase.... 85 to 90, +3k. 70 to 75, +3k. Seems like the increasing capacity and decreasing cost to manufacturer is not making it to the consumer. Looks like this is one of the ways Tesla is improving margins.

    Will battery price really go down? As demand increases, price of raw resource will likely rise.

    Interesting how Tesla says battery prices are dropping, and capacity is going up.... but every time another 5kwh is added to a pack, the price goes up by $3k. Curious.

    Countdown for 75kwh pack in Model S?

    I'm only slightly concerned about range on the occasional road trip. The extra 5kwh would just give me a little extra cushion. 13k for occasional extra cushion seems like overkill to me (based on how I will be driving the car). I will not regularly need to drive 200+ miles at a stretch. I...

    Countdown for 75kwh pack in Model S?

    Seems the vast majority owners here have 90kwh packs.... so the idea of waiting for Tesla to run out of 70kwh packs using only the Model S as an outlet could take a long time. I would be surprised if Tesla was already including the 75kwh packs on cars and labeling the cars as a 70. I totally...

    Countdown for 75kwh pack in Model S?

    A little backstory, I've been planning to get a Model S since before they were unveiled. I put down a deposit for one as soon as reservations opened up - but I had to cancel as the price of the car went up, and the recession of 2008 just got uglier. Here I am now, still saving my pennies to...

    2016 Model S Refresh Mega-thread

    Tesla doesn't do model years. Cars built on January 1, 2017 will be 2017 models. Who knows how many more changes will be introduced by then - I'm guessing 100kwh and 75kwh packs aren't too far off in the future for Model S.

    2016 Model S Refresh Mega-thread

    Will the 75kwh battery available in the X be available for the S? Did anyone mention this? Looks like the base price of the X with 75kwh battery went up 3k (from the 70kwh price). Tesla Introduces Model X In 75 kWh Version (75D) As Public Design Studio Goes Live

    Anytime anything changes, there will be people complaining about it. I remember when the Bangle designed BMW's first appeared, people were going on about the apocalypse, and how this was going to drive BMW out of business. A few years later (and after nearly every other manufacturer adopted...

    2016 Model S Refresh Mega-thread

    Let's place our bets for what the upgrade is going to be: Refreshed nose to align more with the rest of the family (but still remain distinctive S). Door pockets. Revised tail lights. Bundled in options as standard which raises base price but increases value (adding premium interior, next Gen...

    2016 Model S Refresh Mega-thread

    I agree with you on upping the 'base price'. I suspect they will upgrade the base trim level.... As examples: No more Multi-Pattern Seats offered, just Next Gen or Ventilated. Premium Interior becomes standard (but instead of a $3k option price, just raise base price by $2k) So what I...

    Pending deliveries being pushed out... changes coming?

    Looks like inventory car stock levels are being worked down and people with pending deliveries say their delivery dates are getting pushed out. Changes coming soon? Updates coming or just price increase april 2016 | Tesla Motors

    When to order before supposed price increase

    On top of that, Tesla just missed their Q1 total delivery goal (Jan-March). Would make it an even stranger time to go into price hikes with no added value.

    So what does the M3 mean for the MS?

    A friend of mine placed an order on a car to 'lock in the price' on the advisement of a Tesla sales rep that informed him that the price will go up after the Model 3 announcement. This same rep offered no guidance on the possibility of new features or changed options being included in that...

    So what does the M3 mean for the MS?

    I hear you! I'm turning in my Nissan Leaf lease and will be nursing a 'beater' with 210k miles on it until I pull the trigger on an S. I'm going to wait until late April though, since Tesla has already said they will announce new pricing 'changes' for Model S in 'early' April. I'm not going...

    So what does the M3 mean for the MS?

    I feel like Tesla has learned a few lessons from the botched availability estimates for Model S and Model X. There are big differences between a new car company spinning up an automated production line for the first time (Model S) and building a new car with never-before-tried technology...

    Your thoughts on the new 'Price Changes'

    Hey everyone, I just wanted to get a pulse of what people think about the upcoming price changes for Model S. Select what you think will drive (or be used to justify) the new price. Will it just be the current included items like the Slipstream wheels and the new center console? Or those...

    Center console now standard

    If that's the case, you would think they would not have it on their live sales/configuration site with no options to omit it.

    Center console now standard

    It's not just the 'console' part above the yacht floor space that is different. The stitching and the shape of the arm rests between the seats (behind cupholders) is also different. This looks line an all new one piece console, not like they just tacked on the removable floor console that was...
