Seriously, since I told my wife abt it back in July, she asks for it every time we front park somewhere. Save me!

Good. Now please take my money :)

A lot more range, as the 85 battery is more like 81. Still waiting on mine. Got an X 100D loaner so no rush. We hate those chicken wing doors, I tell you. What a waste of good engineering. But we like the driving of it. Windshield looks good but is a PITA in Florida.

Thank you MP3Mike. Tesla was always quite fair with me and I am sure they will do it right.

Two weeks ago our P85+ refused to charge at more than 5 to 7 KWH. Drove the car to the Dania Beach SC with the last 15 miles available. Our car needs a new battery pack. 8 weeks delivery - IF they can get me a 85KW pack at all. That just sucks. At least Chris from Tesla came to my house today...

I like the text and I would take out the PS. Usually I have this issue at the Promenade in coconut creek. I insist in calling the lot security and cops, assure to note their names in a serious manner (I am fugly, so that part of the intimidation is easy) and remind that it is their job to...

This may change things a bit. Imagine it with a waterfall center console that goes all the way to the front console, seemingless.

Got the cup holders fitted, front & back, as well as lighting. Still need to build a cub to be placed above the rear cup holders. Wife blocked the Alexa Dot in the front deck, so it may just go stealth I am still sourcing a better carpet for the side panels. The weaving pattern on my current...

Maybe TM can start buying ME tech again.

I agree, and also your cost will greatly depend on how you do it. You can get a complete second hand console in excellent shape for $500. Sell the electronics you will not use for $400+. That was my case. One must invest the time to find the right unit. Lot's of garbage out there. I can say I...

The console is a BMW F01 7-Series. The rear cup holder is Audi. Not a bad fit. Of course it will be even better once the upholster does his thing. We want the interior replaced with bentley bull saddle leather. No decision on the seats yet, but we may replace them also. No computer originally...

Yes it opens. Plenty of space.Is not finished yet, so I just have things hanging there. Just wired the USB, 12v, FOB antenna, and AC sensor. Still need to build a plate for the USB ports to the rear seats, mount the rear cup holder tray, and AC hoses. The best part is how comfortable it is...

Sorry, I am keeping it. JIC.

Will get some decent pics this weekend.

As the factory center console never worked for me, I have looked for ways to better it to my taste. The existing solutions are of an unfairly cost vs quality ratio, or just do not resolve my needs. Of what I did not personally like on the original console was the high of the arm rest, cup holder...

There we go. Car enthusiasts till the end. Thank you for that.

I agree. It will be quite difficult to get an ICE as daily driver again. I am keeping my MS for two years. By then others will come, and certainly Tesla may bring the interior of the MS to where I would like it to be. Anyway, it will be quite fun to choose an EV by 2018/2019. In the mean time...

MB S65 Quattroporte GTS Bentley Continental GT BMW 760Li For 3 months I deeply regretted getting the MS. The overall quality of the materials/craftsmanship used are too low for what I wanted, and the road noise at parkway speeds was unbearable to me (yes, I know, I should have done a better job...

Thanks. I need to make sure the upholsterer know what he is doing them.

Are the #3 side airbags in the front seats or C column?

Will we re-badge our cars P90++? Are you taking deposits?

Same perception here. I expend my commuting time listening to audio-books, news or in conference calls. Since I got my car in November until after Tesla correct it, I was just unable to perform those tasks wile commuting in my Tesla. Now it is almost as good as the S65. Minus the 10MPG :)

Almost. I agree but energy is energy, ICE or EV. I suggest one to measure what you are calling too noise so to have a better baseline. If both cars yields 80db of internal cabin noise at the same speed/pavement/frequencies, the ICE car will have much better insulation/noise management than the...

Car is back. Not sure if I can say that, because this cannot be the same car. The VIN is the same, but wow. Now I know I had a defective car. The invoice has 6 pages. From glass panels to all rubbers to added 3 or 4 types of insulation all over. I did not get a grasp of all it yet. I drove it...

Tesla gutted my car interior, and is placing sound deadning materials all over it, including the plugs Btr_ftw mentioned. And also replaced the rubber in the 21" rims with Contisilents. I hope to see how the car behaves in couple days. Sidenote 1 - The loaner is a 90D with AP. What an amazing...

Well the feeling is even better than those numbers. I am really happy with the results.

I believe I am still part of the problem, with EVs or without them. Maybe on a better direction, but not by far out of the problem. I still have a house that is too big and inefficient, we still consume too much unnecessary stuff, we still do not actively participate to make things better...

I don't think so.

Thank you. The trip planner works quite well. I just did a round trip to Orlando. It properly indicated where to stop for supercharge, how long to stay, and estimated % battery remaining at destination. As I changed speed or driving attitude, the trip planner adjusted in fair time. Got me back...

So this is what I got. - Speedometer = 75mph; with 21" GPS = 74mph; with 19" GPS = 73mph Cabin noise with 21" rims and michelins SS2: Best average = 81.7db with max of 85.8db. Worse average = 83.6db with max of also 85.8db Cabin noise with 19" rims & PS A/S 3 @ 40PSI: average =68.6, max of...

100% right, Mr X. Very silly on my part. But as I said before, love at first site... Today I got my set from tire rack. 19X8.5 RIAL LUGANOs with 245/45ZR-19 MICHELIN PILOT SPORT A/S 3+. Night and day. Finally I can use my car without complaining. Preliminary measurements show 10 to 15 dB...

Absolutely. For reference, our Mercedes B-class with Tesla guts is spot on on the range prediction. Both our Tesla MS and Nissan Leaf lie shameless on their range predictions, no matter what we do or how we drive (if I drive at 55, it still estimates more than I get) If the B says I have 50...

The p85+ is very rough. Sunroof was driving us crazy with all sort of squeaks. Solved with non-petroleum lubrication on all rubber up there (same used on mercedes to maintain rubber seals).

As the space does not allow to place a larger battery in the original location, how about just adding a second 12V battery in the frunk? Would that help extend the battery life?

Same here. I may not be happy with the car, but the service and people at Tesla are amazing. They are truly one of the main reasons I did not dump the car at another dealer. I got a CPO, and the amount of time and effort Tesla places to try to make me happy is just unheard off. It is hard to...

Thanks, Yes, it does sound like a door in a haunted house hahaha. Maybe it is a haunted car... Couple more weeks now for the SC to take it from my hands and make it perfect. Not kidding, that was the promise. off topic: I fail to understand why the 12v battery is so sensitive in Teslas. I can't...

Thanks. I am reconsidering and placing the sound deadening as last resource. Tesla is replacing a lot of seals in my can in February (good will). They believe those are the main source of road noise. Rims and tires are next on my list. I was going stock 19" but I like the idea of a mid term...

In theory, I agree. Makes sense, right? But when measured, my car causes upwards of 80dBs of noise in the parkway. My friend's MS is around 65. It rarely peaks 70. It is a huge difference.

Yep. I did. A lap around the block. Silly me, right? I assumed that all MSs are equal. Talk about Parkway shock. I know I used this in my defense before, but the car is just beautiful.

Mine may be defective, as it makes quite a funny noise. I rarely touch the fob, and do use the trunk button. I think of my life, what is for dinner, my kids grades. Still going up. As soon as I am tempted to open the rear doors and drop the seats, it is finally high enough that I can put my bag...

1- Yes, specially when raining. Embarrassing, actually. I have to use my phone to unlock. I do not get the no key warning. 2- Only once. I am not sure I tried again. 3- Not like that. I get tune in issues when I hang up of a BT phone call. Even if the radio was off before, it magically turns on...

I bet half of it is me, but is the power lift-gate painfully slow to open? That thing is like in slow motion mode. Most of the time I need to refrain from just pushing it with my own hands.

What or how much sound deadening did you add? After Tesla do what they need to do in my car, we will rip off the interior and add almost 100Lbs of it. Too much work if results are not what I anticipate :( This is the kit I want to use: Tesla S 4 door Hatchback 2013- | Sound Deadener Showdown...

My CS guy in Dania Beach told me this today. But parts will not be in for the other stuff until February, so I need to wait. Tesla wants to look at everything in one shot.

Absolutely! I have this car since November, and I still catch myself trying to close the windows. It is very hard for me to use the speakerphone in the parkway. Another symptom is constantly changing the radio volume up and down as my speed changes. Initially I blamed the aluminum construction...

Real issue there, but I thought the Tesla AP does not use GPS. Mine is a P85+ so I wouldn't know hands on.

I would actually like that.

Trading in on March/April.
