    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    Thanks guys. I will give it some time. I just can't explain how much fun the acceleration was. I didn't really get to let it go full on because the GPS had me mostly on back roads, but there was one light at a two lane road where I put the pedal down probably half way and I was pinned to the...

    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    Took delivery on my p100d today. Only got to drive it for about 30 minutes (drove right to detailer). In love. New mcu is great. Couldn’t test autopilot because hasn’t calibrated. Acceleration is just hilarious every time. Regenerative breaking and no creep will take getting used to. Do you...

    FYI -- Calibred customs is going to be out on the east coast doing dashcam installs in mid April. Doing mine in NJ on April 16.

    Looks like end of quarter showroom and test drive vehicles are getting released

    Yep! Mine has MCU2 and my referral is still getting credit.

    Looks like end of quarter showroom and test drive vehicles are getting released

    No idea if it's a coincidence, but my OA found me a P100D nearly identical to my to-be-delivered-in-June order (differences = cream instead of black, glass instead of sunroof) that was intended to be a showroom car. 50 on the odometer. Taking delivery Friday.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Update: after not taking delivery on my P100D a few weeks ago due to old MCU, I got a call from my OA that a nearly identical brand new car has come in with the new MCU. Only differences are cream premium instead of black premium interior (I was concerned about keeping cream clean, but I think I...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    How long is it from VIN to delivery? I had a P100D ready for delivery last week but declined delivery because old MCU and re-ordered on March 16. I received a VIN yesterday. I feel like my first P100D order I had took much longer to get the VIN. Over on the Model 3 forum they're talking about...

    I'd bet old. As an aside, what's with DS's going MIA?

    Dashcam

    I'm holding out for the Blackvue 4k. In the meantime, ordered an Owl Cam. I'll let you know how it is when I get it.

    Model S/X deliveries with Intel-based MCU

    Quadruple check before taking delivery. I had a P100D order confirmed on Jan 31 or February 1 that did not have the new MCU. However, it was ready for delivery February 27 so much earlier than yours. Just make sure to check.

    Evannex Center Console Color Match?

    Does anyone know the matching Evannex color for the Black Premium/Figured Ash/Dark Headliner? Thanks!

    Model S/X deliveries with Intel-based MCU

    I would have done it had they not rolled mine forward. Count it as the "upgrade" fee to the new MCU.

    Model S/X deliveries with Intel-based MCU

    I had the same choice. Forfeited my deposit (although they ended up rolling it to my new reservation). This upgrade future proofs your vehicle more than anything they’ve done recently. A few months is nothing.

    Model S/X deliveries with Intel-based MCU

    There’s not much I would want. Coat hooks are simple after market. Sound system I would do aftermarket anyway because stock will never be as good as what you can do after. Pockets collect junk in my cars, so I’m fine without it. The Evannex console is pretty decent from what I’ve heard. I agree...

    Model S/X deliveries with Intel-based MCU

    Is that all we're hoping for out of the interior refresh? Dual phones and more storage in doors? I always hear about this rumored interior refresh but I assumed it would entail...more. If those kinds of features are all we're waiting for, looks like they got the big stuff out of the way with...

    When did you order?

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Yes (although I am optimistic it will be earlier). But if the debate is getting a 2011 MCU but the car tomorrow, or getting a 2018 MCU and the car in 3 months, waiting is the easy answer for me.

    Model S/X deliveries with Intel-based MCU

    To me, it makes the centerpiece of the car feel more modern and slick, and it also future proofs the car. I can see a scenario where the longer we have MCU2, the more sluggish MCU1 gets as things become slowly more optimized for MCU2s power. Further, if I have the car 10 years, with MCU1, it...

    Did not have it, so declined delivery and rolled the $2500 deposit into deposit on a new vehicle.

    Model S/X deliveries with Intel-based MCU

    This does not even trigger the slippery slope as someone else said. The MCU upgrade is one of the most overdue upgrades and fixes what I think is the worst thing about an often $100k+ car, which just happens to be on one of its signature features (the touchscreen). They're not going to do...

    Model S/X deliveries with Intel-based MCU

    Been hearing about this rumored refresh for...what? Has it hit two years yet? I like the look of the car on the outside. I don't see that changing and I don't know that it would do much if they did change it. I'm fine with the interior. Much of the interior can be done aftermarket as good as or...

    MCU2 - Retrofit

    The question was what do you *want* Tesla to do or what they *could* do, not what *will* Tesla do. Other autos do just fine selling vehicles when people know upgrades are coming in a year, FYI.

    MCU2 - Retrofit

    Publicly share anticipated roadmaps for each vehicles at the beginning of each delivery period, extending out for that delivery period and the following. So when it hits the March delivery period, say "no changes anticipated" or "we anticipate at some point during these delivery periods, adding...

    Model S/X deliveries with Intel-based MCU

    None. It was offered before I even asked. I do get the sense that they give some red carpet treatment to the P100D S/X purchasers given the cost of the vehicle (and probably will with the 2020 Roadster), but I've also developed a good relationship with my Sr. Owner/Advisor.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Just an update: It appears my 2/20 completed P100D has the old MCU, so I won't be taking delivery tomorrow. However, they offered to roll my $2,500 to my new order (so I have $5,000 down on it). Great customer service. I've waited years, what's a few more months? The one disappointment is I...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Interestingly, my Sr. Owner/Advisor said that they have test drive vehicles that went into production before mine with the upgraded MCU, and that what he was seeing in the back end suggests I may have it, but he's confirming directly. A little more optimistic than I was this AM, but still not...

    Model S/X deliveries with Intel-based MCU

    FYI I'm told that some of the test drive vehicles delivered to showrooms and manufactured before my P100D have the upgraded chip. Mine was ready 2/20. Having my DA check this AM on if I have it, and will keep you posted.

    Ordered 1/30 In transit for delivery 2/20 Model S P100D Delivery appointment scheduled for tomorrow. Having my DA check, but assuming it's the old MCU. Will refuse delivery if that's the case. I've waited for this baby for years. What's a few more months?

    Ordered 1/30 In transit 2/20 P100D model s Delivery appointment scheduled for tomorrow. I am likely refusing delivery because of just missing the MCU upgrade. The only thing I didn’t like in the Tesla was the sluggishness of the touchscreen, so this is the only foreseeable upgrade that would...

    Dashcam, Ceramic, Audio Upgrades in New Jersey/New York/Philly?

    The SoundFX recommendation in Lewes may be a good one. He does the Blackvue installs. I can't vouch for his work on that, but given his work on the audio install side of things, I'd trust that. A 3 hour drive though. Woof.

    Thanks for the recommend. Reached out to them about audio but given how elaborate and well done the audio is, I imagine they can also do dashcam?

    Taking delivery on a P100D in a few weeks. Looking to pretty quickly get 4ch dashcam installed, detailing & ceramic coating done, and the audio upgraded. Having a whale of a time finding recommendations in this area. Calibred Customs might be out this way in April or May, but I'd rather not...

    Looking to rent a Model S November 2-November 7 - Orange County

    I will be in town for those dates on a vacation and would love to experience "life with a Model S." Big fan, and have reserved a Model 3. I would go through Turo, because the rates are fantastic, but I'll be one month shy of my 30th birthday and they put a hard age limit on renting certain...
