    Verified Uncorked 75D (with delivery date please)

    Yes, the invoice... and I got a notification on my Tesla App - "Software update is complete" while the car was at the service center... and there is more zip when I press the pedal. :)

    Verified Uncorked 75D (with delivery date please)

    Officially uncorked today! VIN 142XXX. Even though the service center confirmed earlier this month, it was still a "don't count your chickens until they hatch" attitude given other have been jerked around according to the Tesla Uncorking Tracker. I do feel sympathy for the new facelift Tesla...

    Verified Uncorked 75D (with delivery date please)

    Confirmed! My 142XXX VIN 75D Model S is eligible for performance upgrade.

    Verified Uncorked 75D (with delivery date please)

    142XXX VIN for me. Hoping someone will confirm an older/lower VIN number or delivery date.

    Verified Uncorked 75D (with delivery date please)

    I have a facelift Model S 75D (ordered new Apr 2016, delivered late June 2016 originally as a 70D.). I emailed my service advisor to see if my car can be uncorked and will let the forum know the answer as soon as I get a reply. I just wanted to start this thread to ask owners have been able...

    New unlimited lifetime supercharger promotion

    Agree on Level 5 and the extreme charging speed! I'm pretty happy with AP1 right now.

    First Drive of our new Tesla S 75D; and subsequent trips; Supercharging Speeds

    got me thinking... has anyone actually needed a tow because you ran out of juice? Any horror stories out there?

    New unlimited lifetime supercharger promotion

    Great Tesla marketing tease. Hitting 1 year of ownership soon and I was very happy to own a 75D AP1 with unlimited supercharging and plan to keep this model for "a while." Knowing I have supercharging for life softened the blow from not waiting for AP2. But I am now seriously reconsidering...

    Model S Decimates Large Premium/Luxury Car Market

    I agree with the commenters that generally, the Model S is growing the luxury pie versus taking shares from existing automakers. You can add me as a data point that the Tesla Model S brought me to the "large luxury sedan" market but not as someone who would have consider a 7-series or S-class...

    Sweeeet ride and pretty cool of Tesla to give you the credit! Seeing all these pics made me decide to go with Opticoat but my Peachstate Detail appt won't be until late August.

    Extra parts? Phone adapter Model S refreshed

    Thanks Eclipxe!

    Extra parts? Phone adapter Model S refreshed

    Can I safely assume these plastic parts are for the Model X and not needed for the center console / iPhone adapter installation in the refreshed Model S?

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    That setting is only warning I believe and doesn't impact AP -- I sense the AP setting that shows up on the dash is usually close to the X0 or X5 near the speed I am going when activating AP. I just set the chime at 9 miles relative to speed limit just to catch my lead foot...

    Finally ordered my MS

    Congrats! The MS 60 is a steal but if in the cards, you should get the 60D. There is no way Tesla keeps this option available after the M3 is released. Like others on this forum, I'm keeping my Model 3 reservation after deciding the wait was too long and ordered the MS 70D post-refreshed. I...

    This Is The Model 3 Pre-Order Gift

    Just remember that current Tesla owners will jump the line and Cali deliveries go first so order number might not be indicative.

    Thanks OP for posting your experience! I'll take a little inconsistent service over consistent crappy service from BMW any day of the week and double on Saturdays. ;)

    Great story! It's Unreal how relaxing it is to cruise around town with AP. I almost don't mind following speed limit... P.S. Granny is going to see Elon put people on Mars soon as well! TJ ----------------------------------------- Referral | Tesla Motors $1000 referral. The M5 and Leaf...

    Interior pic request - gray w/ Next Gen seats

    I would go MS metallic blue over either red. The Tesla blue is very much like the Interlagos Blue on my M5. It's like having a 3 color car. In bright sunlight, the blue is bright Caribbean water on a clear day. In slight shade, it's a deep dangerously rich blue. At night, it reflects objects...

    Interior pic request - gray w/ Next Gen seats

    Was at the Lenox showroom yesterday. They went back to featuring the Model X in place of where they had the white Model S with grey leather / black headliner combo. They must have sold that one quick! Sorry, no pics possible. :(

    Interior pic request - gray w/ Next Gen seats

    For those with grey leather for a few years now, have your seat turned color? If not, what do you use to keep your light color leather seats clean? We have a Lexus with tan leather and the driver seat definitely shows a darker color from clothing like jeans.

    Giving up my M6 tomorrow for p90d. having remorse help ease my mind!

    Agree on the EV conversion after becoming a dad. My F10 M5 sat in the garage for 4 months after I bought the Leaf to be my daily driver -- only a 6-mile commute with half city miles but the Leaf can use the HOV lane for the other 3 miles -- and I get priority parking everywhere. So moral of the...

    Interior pic request - gray w/ Next Gen seats

    Just saw that grey next gen plus black headliner combo with Pearl white exterior at the Atlanta Tesla Lenox Mall. It is sweeet. If I could redo, that combo gives it a sportier/futuristic feel than the all-black interior I ordered since I have a toddler. I'll try to take photos if I swing by...

    Downgrade 70 > 60? Would you?

    I personally don't think they are going keep the 60 option for a long time so now is the time to get that MS... Especially with the $1000 referral offer! Referral | Tesla Motors

    Downgrade 70 > 60? Would you?

    I definitely agree on making a 75 that is electronically locked to 60 for leased vehicles in Tesla's shoes (your point #5.) The tax rebate argument in point #4 sounds like a good way to upsell later on the surface but I just cannot see someone getting comfortable with their commute using a 60...

    Downgrade 70 > 60? Would you?

    I used to buy lithium batteries professionally and always suspected that true capacity of every Tesla model is higher than rated just so they can get to "100%" super fast without damaging the cells and claim slower battery degradation. I have a 70D being delivered in the next two weeks and...

    Sweeet! I plan to make a homage in late Sept. The height limit will be a bummer for my son and godson.
