    Anyone outside CA invited to configure?

    Any others from outside CA that are not employees of Tesla or SpaceX? There is one here in Charlotte - but she is a Tesla employee.

    Payment Timeline for Model 3/Teslas?

    I actually forget to bring my checkbook for my final down payment .. was still super easy .. just did an ACH directly on their website right in the store. The purchasing experience is just super - blows away any other car dealer.

    Thanks for the response - did you do something scientific or just eyeballed it?

    Eclipse - glass roof + polarized shades?

    So the proper eclipse viewing shades are sold out all over town and I figured just using the all glass roof - plus some good polarized sunglasses would be enough protection? Thoughts? Thx

    17.26.76

    My experience as well. Things seem to be really improving in town for the last couple of releases but this one is a step back. Hwy is fine - I also noticed much quicker auto lane change.

    Firmware 8.1 - Autopilot HW2

    I am on 17.17.17 and Just got back from a week in HIlton Head SC - traveled their from CLT - AP2 performed awesome - I wish I was driving someone who could afford another Tesla - would have definitely got a referral! I was especially impressed with performance on non divided highways - 278 in...

    Private Model 3 Viewing

    FYI - the invitation did say private Model 3 viewing as one of the agenda items- which essentially is what they gave .. it was just a little annoying you could not sit in it or play with UI... I am guessing they are finializing all of that and did not want to give any false impressions.

    Private Model 3 Viewing

    My eight year old son Dylan asked "how long did it take for you to design the Model S" and Franz interestingly enough basically said he is still not finished .. he working on making it better each day. It was really special - I think it showed everyone in the room - the way he thinks.

    Private Model 3 Viewing

    First I want to thank Tesla for having the event .. It really was a once in a lifetime opportunity to connect with such enthusiasts and get an inside peak at the factory and future. Seeing the Model 3 alpha vs nothing at all was still worth it. The car is not a Bolt competitor - it will be...

    Tesla Referral Program

    So on the fence - currently booked for me and my family for Saturday .. is it really worth it? Would love to hear from someone who has done a VIP tour in the past? Long haul from east coast - but would be nice to show family around SF.

    New or used s

    So I think there are 4 options to consider .... 1. Pre Auto pilot used 2. Auto Pilot v1 used 3. Auto Pilot v1 inventory car (new) 4. Latest Auto Pilot v2 (new) Based on the prices I have seen .. I would recommend either option 1 or option 4 .. So if your friend has seen autopilot and that...

    Devaluation of HW1?

    I don't know what specific models or features you are looking at ... but in terms of CPO value of AP1 cars have not gone down that much. On super high end models over $100k - yes those have gone down .. mainly because at that investment level you will only settle for latest and greatest.. I...

    Advice needed..

    I enjoy the standard sound system. PUP is still necessary if you like really clean air (HEPA and Bio-Defense Mode) - honestly I feel it is a real differentiation vs. other cars. I went with Glass roof .. so would stick with that. Like Tesla has some good videos on the white seats .. seem to...

    Firmware 8.1 - Autopilot HW2

    Yeah - I disabled all the auto garage stuff - too much traffic with kids and wife always doing something with garage while I was trying to pull in .. it is a great idea but can't outsmart wife and kids :)

    Firmware 8.1 - Autopilot HW2

    I was just down there in March and tried the 55 mph limited Ap2 and had to quickly take over ... I honestly think it is a good use case to send to Tesla .. because places like I-77 in CLT it works amazing as well as I-485 and there are curves .. but there for some reason did not work. Keep us...

    Tesla Elon Musk Says Update 8.1 Coming in 10 Days or So

    Model S 60 and 60D to be removed

    Overall - lots of good thoughts. They were not losing money on the 60 - but my initial thought is that a S60 should end up being worth a lot more than it would have been in the future ... this is of course unless the M3 just rocks everyone's socks off and has a longer range or a better EAP or...

    Fearless predictions for tonight's earnings ....

    So I will go out on a limb ... here is what I think... * 8.1 GA date will be announced (possibly the reason that the latest hw2 update has only gone out to a few) * model 3 ahead of schedule - possible reservation number will be shared * Company will emphasize other focus areas like power...

    Is Autopilot hw1 AP 1.0 worth buying with hw2 out?

    One question for the group .. assuming someone is willing to go back to ICE ... will Mercedes or Audi surpass AP2? Mercedes getting some very good press - never tried their stuff and not saying go back to ICE - but if you can lease and E class Benz with better than AP1 for 700 a month ... is it...

    Tesla moments

    I would like to share a Tesla moment .. I just got my Model S60 about 50 days ago (already 1800 miles !) Several years ago when the MS had just come out - I used to park in a different garage downtown and there it was .. one of the first MS in Charlotte. This person had literally the best...

    Columbia South Carolina Supercharger

    So figured it out for myself .. The supercharger is in the back parking lot of the Hilton Garden Inn about 1.5 miles from the hwy exit. The breakfast was quite good at the Hilton Garden Inn.. definitely recommend. On the way home we stopped again to charge .. but I ended dropping my family off...

    Initial 1000 HW2 cars getting AP software 12/31/16

    I wonder how many AP/2 cars they actually built this quarter ... 1000 should be a good sample .. but wonder if it is all Beta community or Tesla employees or just random? Tesla not moving from wifi tonight :cool:

    Help - Ordered today but didn't get premium package. Is it worth it?

    This is what I did - cloth multi pattern and premium package ... honestly what pushed me over the edge was my thought in the resale world folks are not going to want to buy a luxury car that does not feel like a luxury car - premium package adds to that feel .. also better filtration is more...

    S60 - 210 miles stated vs actual charge after charge is 205

    I doubt they would do that ... but on another thread I noticed that folks say you have more mileage left after you hit zero ... so you could always play around with that a little if you are trying to go somewhere .. weather, use of the heater etc. plays a major role .. one thing I have noticed...

    Do you leave the mobile charger plugged in when not in use?

    Yeah - just the cable to the NEMA port ... the green light is on so it must be using some small bit of power .. just wondering if is better just to keep it plugged in .. I do agree with damage risk ... just laying there
