    Driver vent direction not exactly working properly?

    Anyone else having this issue? When I have the driver side vents set to one output on the screen and aim them to the top center, I still get a blast of air on my right knee coming from behind the steering wheel. I don't remember having it before I dropped it off for a couple unrelated fixes a...

    Car seat details

    The door opening is a similar size. Not noticeably larger or smaller. The 3 is definitely taller than an S with air suspension on the standard setting -- probably about the same height as an air suspension S set to "high".

    Yes, with the premium interior

    You guys are such a welcoming bunch. Guess I've learned my lesson -- no more posting on car forums. I'm open to offers from truly interested parties.

    Supercharger - Tejon Ranch, CA (expanded to 24 V2 stalls)

    Anyone been here today? How are the lines? Trying to decide if I would go to Bakersfield and roll into Anaheim on fumes on my S60.

    Queues at Superchargers along I-5

    I've done the round trip twice now and had to wait at Tejon once, but other than that all is fine. Note: on very hot days these chargers seem to throttle down to 40-60kW even if you're not sharing with the next stall.

    Firmware 8.0

    How long does the actual update take on a MS with AP? Trying to head out on a road trip but I want it installed first.

    If 8.0 ships tomorrow everyone's next Tesla payment is on me!

    I've PM'd you my PayPal and a copy of my statement. Thanks for the generosity!

    Phone App: iPhone/Android app

    Is the app currently down for anyone else? I can't sign into it on any of my devices (all iOS).

    Install HPWC at business, restrict use somehow?

    Grab one of these, cut a hole in the bottom along the opening just big enough for the charger cable to fit through, and store the connector inside it with a padlock.

    value of P85

    55K sounds like a damn good deal for a pre-AP/pre-D car to me, especially for a trade-in. I'd jump in with both feet for that glorious 2.5sec acceleration!

    Random... isn't?

    It is true random. You want random playlist generation.

    Buying a cpo?

    Just talk to a salesperson at/from your local showroom.

    Random... isn't?

    That's "true random". The system doesn't track what songs have or haven't played -- it simply picks a song at random from your entire library after the current song plays. What it sounds like you're looking for is a less random system -- something that takes your library, randomizes it into a...

    Removing Vinyl Wrap

    Wraps these days will likely require very little extra work after removal. A basic detail/wax to get rid of any leftover adhesive and refresh the paint is probably all that would be needed, even after years of being installed.

    Model S Software/Firmware wishlist

    My gripe so far: you can schedule when you want charging to start, but not end. Peak charges start at 8am but I don't leave for work until 9. I'd like the car to stop charging while I'm still getting ready.

    Save-A-Deer Whistle Anyone use them?

    Snake oil.

    Level 2 charging compatible with Tesla/others

    Yes. No matter what you do, if you make sure you're on at least a 50A circuit, it won't cost you much to change things up in the future. The hardest/most expensive part is running that circuit. If you expect to get upgraded chargers and the HPWC, use a 100A circuit. Termination doesn't really...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Took delivery today! No pics without my face, so no sharing yet, but I wish the rest of you the speediest of deliveries! There's nothing like pressing the not-so-loud pedal for the first time!

    Level 2 charging compatible with Tesla/others

    Depends on the EVSE you get. Teslas can charge at very high amperage compared to most other EVs. Your best route would be to run a 14-50 outlet, get a juicebox for your placeholder EV and then use the cable the comes with your Model 3 when you get it.

    What Swag did Tesla give you at delivery?

    Picked up at Fremont today. Pen, lapel pin, umbrella, mug. Gonna go back to Sunnyvale where I ordered and see if they have owners hats.

    Poor AM Radio Reception

    Every EV I've ever driven has terrible AM reception problems. Something about electric drivetrains just doesn't mesh well with AM stations. If you really want to listen, I suggest a streaming app on your phone or TuneIn.

    Delivery beyond the estimated time?

    It should be listed in the My Tesla profile for your vehicle under the Documents section as Motor Vehicle Purchase Agreement. On the 2nd page, just under the names and addresses at the top, there's a section that says "VEHICLE TO BE DELIVERED ON OR ABOUT:". That date, at least for me, was very...

    Delivery beyond the estimated time?

    I wouldn't be surprised if that's pretty accurate. If you're picking up from the factory, that would mean you could start production as late as 9/1 or so.

    Delivery beyond the estimated time?

    If you have a copy of your final MVPA, check the estimated delivery on it. Mine was spot on, exact day, even before the car actually started production.

    Will I get the Ventilated Seats?? That...is the question

    Depends on what you ordered. Only the P90D would have been eligible for them. Regardless, I wouldn't hold out much hope if you actually started production before the announcement.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I've seen the spreadsheet. I know it's frustrating and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason, but they run the lines, so they know best. As frustrating as it is (I've been through it myself but got lucky), there's really nothing you can do as long as they're still meeting the promised window.

    Waived Destination Fees?

    Just spoke to my OA and he said each store got a limited number of credits to waive destination fees. He only got 1 and already used it. Apparently they were to encourage people who were on the fence to commit or keep people from backing out.

    Waived Destination Fees?

    Fee waiving doesn't have anything to do with where you pick up. You normally have to pay destination fees picking up at Fremont.

    Alliant Credit Union as a Financing Option

    That seems odd for sure. I'd call your loan officer and ask why the rate is so high.

    What was your estimated delivery timeframe when you ordered? Has it changed since ordering?

    AutoPilot 2.0

    Likely more hidden radar/sonar, but I doubt they're going to start putting in visible hardware changes (more cameras) until they actually announce.

    Alliant Credit Union as a Financing Option

    Your loan advisor will give you a range of payment dates when they prepare the final documents for signing. The latest date I was about to choose was about 6 weeks from signing.

    Kaleidescape went bankrupt - feeling pessimistic about Tesla today

    I really don't get what this thread has to do with Tesla. I could post about any mom and pop biz closing up and come up with a way to relate it. And this especially has nothing to do with Model S at all...

    AutoPilot 2.0

    There's always a disconnected wire under the speaker grille in US Model S that's used for an alarm system in EU models. I wonder if that's the disconnected wire in the X.

    It wasn't legal in California.

    Alliant Credit Union as a Financing Option

    In the case of Alliant's GAP plan (most are not like this), the coverage would still continue because it would cover $500 of your insurance deductible in the case of a claim.

    Wanted - Project Model S w Autopilot - No Title Needed

    This is so completely off base. The difference between a MacBook on a credit card and a car with a loan is that a car loan is secured debt. The reason a car title is in a bank's name is because the bank owns the car, not the loan-holder. (Or, in your title loan example, the title loan company...

    Definitive S Refresh Front Plate Bracket Removal

    Tesla requires that the car be delivered with the bracket. You can request it be delivered without it, but they will politely refuse.

    financing if refusing delivery?

    That's actually done pre-delivery in my case. I signed my documents online the day I made my delivery appointment. I'm not sure if you can arrange to have them signed in person at delivery since there is no Alliant rep present.

    Alliant Credit Union as a Financing Option

    It is often the case, especially with luxury vehicles and little-or-no down payment, that one becomes "upside down" on their loan (i.e. they owe more than the vehicle is actually worth) immediately and for the first few years of the loan. Insurance companies do not pay out what you owe on your...

    Would you be interested in an AP 2.0 retrofit?

    It's up to you. How long are you willing to wait? A lot of people will tell you a lot of different things, but no one knows for sure.

    Tracking Transit

    For security reasons, I'm sure freight companies wouldn't be terribly forthcoming with updates about exactly where large deliveries of six figure cars are.
