They're going to look great. Good luck with them! I decided to extend my lease, month to month, since I sense a Model S refresh coming in the next three months. I will then evaluate my options.

I understand your point, however buying a car is making a bet on the viability of the company and their ongoing operations, which includes availability of parts, service and ongoing investment in their software/hardware platforms. Many had the same concerns about Amazon in the first decade...

I have the staggered on my current MS and I would stick with it going forward in a new MS. Looks sharp and handles great. I don't think there is much of a range hit, maybe 1%-3% max. However you cannot rotate your tires due to the staggered config. With 21" rims and sport performance tires, the...

I have a 2016 MS 90D (refreshed facia and AP 1.0) and my lease is ending in about two months. I am considering buying a new MS Performance, given the recent drivetrain upgrade, extended range and other enhancements. Plus, I will qualify for free Ludicrous mode, worth 20k, as a current lessee...

My 2016 MS 90D (refreshed fascia and AP 1.0) lease is up in about eight weeks and with the recent Model S/X upgrade announcement, I was thinking of upgrading to a 2019 MS Performance (with free Ludicrous mode for current owners/lessees). Instead of leasing my next Tesla, I was planning on...

I am going to be upgrading to a new Performance or Long Range MS in the next two months and am interested, if still available. I'm in Orange County.

Sorry, I didn't get a quote for a X-Pel clear wrap because I am turning the car in after the lease, but within one month I got some chipping on the hood from road debris. If you plan on keeping the car for a while I would recommend getting a quote for at least a front X-Pel wrap. The paint on...

They do complete chrome delete packages, clear wraps, etc. I've seen his work, but since I am leasing my MS I didn't want to put too much into it, otherwise I would've have. I'm happy I leased, especially now that AP2 hardware was just announced!

Suntek Carbon XP - $350

When I took delivery of my MS 90D, I got home and notices several gaps, particularly where the chrome trim didn't match the door panels. Luckily all those issues were easily addressed. When I had my windows tinted by a very experienced installer, he removed all of the chrome trim on each door...

I used Bemaro for tinting my new MS. They did an amazing job and I can attest to their professionalism and level of detail. They are truly Tesla experts.

Having started this thread a few weeks ago, then having tried all the various options, I have given up mounting the transponder on the windshield. I appreciate all of your suggestions to date. With all my attempts thus far and the transponder not working, they've looked up my plate and debited...

I have a NEMA 14-50 installed in my garage and my UMC plugged in all the time, with a $25 Tesla cord accessory to neatly hang the UMC cable. Only once did I need to pack the UMC for a 1,200 mile road trip - ironically I never even used it on the trip, since I found charging options readily...

Having read the title of this thread made me curious. I took delivery of my new MS 90D last month and now I feel a bit guilty, since I did get the NextGen grey seats. They do look great and I get a lot of compliments on them. Sorry gang, maybe something even better is in store and they are...

Thanks for the updates @Camera-Cruiser - would be interesting to see how many locals use this SC and how it impacts availability. I was hoping to use it regularly when I drive from LA to San Diego, but looks like it may attract a lot more locals, which defeats the purpose of stopping there.

Had similar issues with only connecting to 3G, so I too did the reboot and that seemed to do the trick to find and connect to LTE.

I took delivery 5 weeks ago with the Grey Next Gen seats on a Model S. I was told they had a large demand for the seats and they couldn't keep up, so they were going to be putting them on hold. I don't think that mid 2017 is a realistic date and it will probably be sooner. By putting a date...

Umbrella, mug and pen, here as well. 1 month ago.

I picked up my MS a month ago and asked multiple times for such insurance. They don't offer it. I would have bought it, especially for my 21" turbine rims.

Drive under 65 anytime you feel range anxiety and stick to the plan using evtriplanner.com. I took delivery 1 month ago of a MS 90D as well, and have 2,000 miles on it as of today. Within 48 hours of picking up the car, I went on a 1,200 mile round trip road trip. I had similar range anxiety and...

Just had my MS 90D refresh tinted a few days ago -- took delivery of the vehicle a month ago. I'm in SoCal, so there are a lot of folks who tint Telsas and other high end cars. I did a lot of research and spoke to lots of Tesla owners and installers. Here are a few tips based upon my research...

CPO is the way to go. They've got lots of inventory these days.

Thanks - would you mind posting a picture?

I have the grey seats, got the car three weeks ago, and love them. If you can wait until they're available and aren't in a rush, I would recommend it. That being said, if the white seats from the Model X ever become available for the S, I would get those. I've seen them in person and they...

I use a aftermarket braided moldable lightning cable and I have tried both a Kenu Airframe + and a Techmatte air vent clip. In either case, they work well, but they block the air vent - on the MS the air vents are tiny and it does impact comfort level in the car because air flow is impacted...

I have a refreshed S90D with premium and it did come with mine. The delivery specialist said he'd install it and also showed me how to do it, but he explained how inconvenient the phone placement was, due to the poor design. You cannot see the phone screen at all or touch it while driving due to...

Thanks! I will try the orientation. I am new to the West coast so I am not familiar with the nuances related to number of toll occupants and ZEV's, but logically it would make sense. I will check it out. Yes, I am also waiting for the "coveted" white stickers to arrive, as well as my vanity...

When I ordered my MS 90D refresh and started counting the days before delivery, I began researching tinting options and installers. I probably did a bit too much research, but wound up learning a lot in the process. My waiting and research paid off. I just finished getting my MS tinted today...

When I began researching the Model S and visited for a test drive, my specialist informed me that the CLS I was driving had the same "footprint" as the MS, because they used this as a base for the MS prototype - he was an early Tesla employee and seemed to know what he was talking about. He...

I know this question has been asked before, but the answers I've read don't seem to be working for me. I have a MS 90D refresh, which is about 3 weeks old. My California FastPass transponder is mounted in the car, but with no success. I've tried it in at least 5 different locations of the front...

I came from a Mercedes CLS 550, which I loved. It had tons of power and was very sporty. I can happily say I will never go back to an ICE and I am sold on Tesla. The original S was actually built on the CLS frame and the steering wheel, control stalk and several controls are still made by...

I too have the new FOB holders with the key ring. I was told at delivery, if it ever rips off, they will replace it an no charge. Something tells me they're going to be replacing a lot of these based upon the design.

What this comes down to is that Tesla makes beautiful cars that perform well. They've dropped the ball on fit and finish, particularly when it comes to being ahead of the curve (or being current) on infotainment. I've had Beemers and Mercs for years and the fit an finish of Teslas doesn't even...

If you ask nicely they are likely to do it. I took delivery 3 weeks ago and asked if they would do it, stating I had heard other owners had it done for them. They said no problem and took care of it. Took delivery in Costa Mesa and I live about 20 miles from there.

Agreed. Recently took delivery of MS 90D with pano, because I wanted SiriusXM. High fidelity sound was optional, but got that too - sounds fantastic. I moved my SiriusXM subscription over to my new MS, but I have to say Slacker radio that comes with the car is far better than I ever expected -...

I visited Buena Park today to pick up some accessories and walked around to check out the SC progress. Most of the SC rebuild is complete, but won't be ready for another 2-3 weeks, according to the two people I asked. Here are some pictures to show you how close to complete they are. They are...

Can't we all just get along :(

I did see the same matte black Model 3 about two weeks ago on Highway 395 in the middle of nowhere on my way to Mammoth SC, while I was on a long trip to Reno. I almost didn't believe it. I missed the opportunity to take a picture since it turned off the highway as I was entering. It was clearly...

Took delivery of my MS90D with Next Gen grey seats two weeks ago. My DS told me at delivery that there was huge demand on that color and they were expecting future orders to have a delay, along with the matte obeche wood, since many people were going with that combination. I have to tell you...

Congrats on your MS90D, I took delivery of mine two weeks ago. Plan for an hour and do yourself a favor and spend 20 minutes the evening before and go to the Tesla site to check out all of the 30 sec - 2 min video snippets on aspects of the car (doors, autopilot, charging, etc). By doing so, you...

I picked up my new MS 90D two weeks ago and the GPS based air suspension works very well (as described by others). I too have a steep driveway at home. As I approach my street, about 100 yards from my house, the car raises itself and stays that way until I leave my house, at about the same...

I picked up my refresh MS 90D two weeks ago. They have a special lease incentive (not publicized) for people with credit above 800 right now, so I'd make sure you ask about any "special incentives" before you sign. They basically increase the residual percentage to decrease the monthly lease...

Thank you to everyone for your advice. We just returned from our fantastic road trip and taking the our brand new MS 90D was definitely the right choice. We drove from Yorba Linda, CA to Reno, NV and stopped at a couple SC's on the way up to his baseball tournament -- everything worked out...

I picked up my lease on Wednesday and was told by my Delivery Specialist that Tesla does not receive the $7,500 credit, that the lessor (US Bank in my case), receives the credit and thus creates the finance terms, money factor, residual, all to support their lease program. On my paperwork, it...

I just picked up my MS 90D Tuesday and but I waited up until the day prior to delivery to decided on a purchase versus a lease. Since that was the case, I was still asking questions and comparing, leading up to the delivery. As a result, of me getting quotes within a day of delivery, they...

Great suggestion on the Slacker 320 kbps and Waze for Tesla. I had no idea that the Waze site existed, so that's a relief. My biggest complaint about Tesla is using their navigation in lieu of Waze. Also, will definitely pick up the sunshade. At some point I will need to get light tint applied...

Thanks everyone for your input. All great feedback and things to consider. I have to tell you that the delivery went fairly smoothly and I have to give credit to the folks at the Costa Mesa delivery location for doing a great job. I love the car and have had it for about 24 hours. Got to drive...

Need some advice from some seasoned owners. I am picking up my MS 90D tomorrow... can't wait. I need to take a road trip next week, from Orange County up to Reno, NV, for my son's baseball tournament - 4 days in Reno. I can either drive my new Tesla, which I take delivery on tomorrow or my other...

Good luck with your car. I pick my MS 90D tomorrow in Costa Mesa, it's supposed to be top notch - had some issues with new delivery folks, so the process has ben less than stellar.

Picking up my Midnight Silver MS 90D this week, just waiting for confirmation from delivery contact for exact day/time. Home charging setup is ready to go. My 2014 leased MB CLS550 is ready to be turned back in to the dealer, hopefully without any issue. Any tips or things I should plan ahead...
