I've never been able to fully silence my 770 either. But, as the only time it speaks is when I get in the car, and it's announcing what it recorded since I last left the car, it's an acceptable issue for me.
I do wish there were some celebrity voices though for the announcements. :)
For wifi...
There are a lot of threads about costs of insurance and the result is that everyone's situation is different and it's nearly impossible to get meaningful and useful comparison numbers without a lot of personal details and then comparing them to yours and .... None of which is very practical in...
Disclaimer: I've never owned a minivan.
I have a LOT of friends that do own one and I can completely understand and appreciate why they usually like them far better than a SUV, especially when their children are younger.
Don't tell your wife that you asked for help to convince her on the Tesla Motor Club. ;)
Buy what makes sense for your family.
Don't try to convince her before the car is available for a test drive.
As prices aren't available yet for the Model 3, it seems premature to discuss affordability...
Interesting -- I have a December 2016 S and installed the F770 last weekend and used the mic connector as the constant power successfully. For switched/accessory power, I tapped into one of the wires for the mirror.
I'd read that some folks had trouble when they connected to the 2nd and 3rd...
I'm not sure how to access the switched power shown above. The mirror in my S doesn't look like the photos.
This is from a Model S manufactured Dec 2016.
Does anyone know where the switched power in the microphone panel can be found in a HW2 Model S? The constant power was easy to locate.
If you know and care to share (with photos if possible), it would be much appreciated. I'm trying to install a Thinkware 770.
When we built our house in 2004, we installed 2 150 AMP panels and the electrical service provider thought we were crazy going that big (they hadn't planned for homes in our small neighborhood to have more than 200A service apparently).
We just went with a 50AMP circuit. We didn't forsee any...
And -- to add to what @TR5642 said, in many jurisdictions, you may be expected to pull a permit and have it inspected upon completion of the work. Check the forum post above for more details if needed.
I'll be pleasantly surprised if you have a Model 3 before 2017 year end. Thankfully however, you've got a lot of time to think about other options before then. o_O
We have the all glass roof and thankfully haven't experienced any of the issues others have been reporting with wind noise. So, thankfully, it's not every car.
(We really like the all glass roof!)
Not directly related, but I've had a refund posted to a closed credit card account and the credit card bank then issued me a check. (Admittedly, it wasn't many months after it closed like is being discussed here, but the account was closed nonetheless).
There's a surprisingly long "limbo" time...
It's happened quite a few times to our S after driving home in rain or through snowy/slushy conditions (or washing the car), the next morning when we're backing out we'll hear the loud bump, thump noise.
Have a look on Tesla's web site for the recommendations: Home charging installation
If you get the Tesla wall connector, you have more options:
For vehicles with the Standard Charger: Install with a 60-amp circuit to match the standard on-board charger of your Tesla (20% faster charging than...
I'd go so far as to say: "I would buy!"
(Caveats: Assuming it was available in interior matching color, reasonably priced, and was installable by the owner).
The new app fails to connect to our S the majority of the time now (80% of the time it fails). No settings changed in the car (and sleep mode is not active).
It just spins and times out. Over and over. Killing the app and restarting doesn't help.
If it does start to work, it usually does...
In a modern micro-service oriented architecture, those questions aren't often relevant. I'd think the programming languages and platforms being used would be far more interesting (and a good way to find that out is often look at their career postings).
Why would you want to know the hardware...
Honestly, given that it's 2 years away, you've got a long time to consider options. I wouldn't worry about it until you actually have 2 options to consider and it's closer to 2019.
Possible: Maybe the Model 3 won't be to your liking (or even be available generally).
I'm not sure that it's a funny idea.
Assuming you have the funds to immediately pay off the transaction amount, this seems like a potentially expensive way to get credit card points, but I don't see why Tesla would care how the total purchase amount was paid.
I'd add that I always put the wheels/tires in large strong trash bags if they weren't provided by the place that installed/delivered them to keep the interior clean (and I carry a backup trash bag in case a bag develops an unexpected tear/hole).
Mine happened to be November 16th. (And then in production the 11th of December)
Have a look here for a lot of detail about the status of orders and builds: Model S Order & Delivery 2017
Shorter production seems to be normal now. Our S was started on December 9, 2016 and finished on December 11th.
We picked up our car at the Highland Park, IL location. It arrived on the 19th, so only a 7-8 day journey.
Congratulations on your new car!
Personally, I'd do 2 things:
1) Not worry about it until Model 3 deliveries begin in earnest (and maybe wait until you've been notified that you need to specify the configuration).
Then, when #1 is true, upgrade your home's electrical service to 200A and buy the then current HPWC (as it's OK...
(Maybe I'm missing something, but the Cash price new is around $162,550, so you're asking what you paid or more than a new car with no tax break and it's used?)
A large number of TV shows and movies do product placements. So, you'll often prominently see other automobile manufacturers in shows and movies as money exchanged hands.
In the first season of Amazon Prime's Goliath, Molly Parker (playing an attorney named Callie) drove a white Model X.
Are you sure you could make that 310 mile trip that on a single charge anyway? You probably would have been happy with the 90D.
For example, using Tesla's calculator (Model S | Tesla) (and guessing that your trip involves some interstate highway travel): at 70mph, 70F outside, AC on, the 100D...
Why not call (866-984-2532) or email [email protected]?
That way, you're assured that there won't be a delay processing your application and you'll get the most accurate information.
I'd ask the service center (and ideally get it in writing) whether it's OK to drive in that specific condition. Make sure you're clear on what's happening (and include a photo if possible).
If they respond "yes," then drive.
If not, consider alternatives. Maybe they should provide a loaner or...
A tiny bit of spelunking of the web page HTML:

What SC did you use? I just talked with a service center manager from an IL location and he said they're all $50 ..., so he'd like to find out where you'd gotten them.
Regardless, I'd like to try it ..., as it's on the list of features of my car. Then, I could decide that it's terrible. :)
(Our BMW X3 rain sensors work quite well in most situations, so it will have to work very well to meet our existing experiences.)
Thanks for the link. I couldn't see what size those are though ..., as the center caps for the wheels I got need to be 60mm which is larger than the standard Tesla wheels.
Having done software development for 20+ years, it's unfortunately rare that anything useful is as easy as 20 lines of code. :) Further, every feature has a downstream impact of requiring maintenance and ongoing quality assurance testing. I'm sure it just hasn't been a priority for Tesla yet.
I would strongly suggest you talk to your automobile insurance agent. If you're not paying for the loaner car, then credit cards, etc. won't cover the car with the necessary coverage. I suspect you won't want to be under-insured for this car.
You may also be able to purchase temporary coverage...
There's not an obvious rain sensor on the HW2 package when compared to the sensor of a 2015 BMW X3. So, it's likely to be enabled via cameras as has been suggested.
Our BMW has auto-dimming headlights and I can only hope that the HW2 Model S feature is leaps and bounds better than the BMW. It...
I've owned one car with this feature and most without. I traded that car for the Tesla and don't miss it at all.
If Tesla presented a list of features, and asked for priorities, and said they only had time to do some of them, this feature wouldn't make my top 10. (As an owner of a AP2...
I had Discount Tire install the following this morning:
Nokian Hakkapelitta R2s
Drag DR-37
All in, it was just about $2250 US (including the TPMS sensors mentioned below).
FYI: The standard center cap sold by Tesla does not fit these wheels unfortunately. They're too small. I may try to make...
I don't know why one SC would be that much cheaper than another.
I just wanted to say what my experience just last month was for a Model S and how they'd handled it for me.
(And I thought the sensors in that post were for the Roadster, not the S, but it was getting a bit hard to follow).
I called my nearest service center (which is 155 miles away) and they FedEx'd them to me. I paid about $60 each (so I don't know where you saw $18?) plus S/H.
When I asked, he said non Tesla provided TPMS sensors may not always work.
From a desktop/laptop, the features can be found in the upper right corner of the web page in the menu. (click on the generic "head" icon that will be where my drawing is). You should be able to upload an image, etc.
Sorry, I wasn't clear -- our township did an inspection upon completion of the work by a licensed electrician. High amperage circuits modifications/additions apparently are one of the triggers that require an inspection upon completion of work. Our electrician arranged everything. We just needed...
Curious -- did you need to get the work inspected? I shouldn't be surprised how different the laws are anymore across jurisdictions... but I still am. :rolleyes:
While we don't live in Florida (so I can't speak to your state laws, or local laws), we needed a permit due to the nature of the changes we were making and how the wiring was being pulled.
I would start very soon. It took about 3 weeks for ours to get installed (not including time to get a few estimates for the installation). Then, 1 week for the inspection.
Every house and situation is going to be different.
(Plus, you'll need to order the appropriate wall adapter for your...
