These are all creative ideas but It seems that we shouldn't have to do any jury rigging in such a fine car when these features can be added in the Premium Package or as other options - as in the S, e.g. where the glass roof is a necessary option for the XM antenna.

Why no satellite radio? Can this be added in software? I use it quite a bit in the S and would miss it in the 3. I wish they would have kept the AM radio band too since Tunein doesn’t carry some of the stations that I want. A bit of bad reception and low quality are small sacrifices to pay for...

By the time Porsche and other manufacturer's cars proliferate to EV's I would think that superchargers would follow suit, seeing that they already have gazillions of dealerships all over the US. Gas station will have to convert to 'EV', or the more generic 'Filling', stations too. And...

One shouldn't forget the vast infrastructure that the ICE industry already has in place. As the EV revolution evolves, all the dealerships, gas stations, repair shops, auto parts stores, etc. will retool to adapt. Installing the necessary hardware to accommodate EV's can be greatly facilitated...

How about a real Lane Departure Warning. The very subtle steering wheel vibration is barely noticeable to me. There should be a real effect - stronger vibration, perhaps with a tunable intensity or an audible - that can alert me if I happen e.g., to be dozing off, and drifting across the lane...

I would like to have more than three flashes when the lane change lever is touched. A selectable number of flashes would be great but if fixed, 7 flashes (like I have on my Lexus) would be better than the present 3. Also, I don't know if there is a bug or my fault, but the headrest position on...

I noticed this too. Multiple car recognition appeared only recently (weeks after 17.17.17 the update). Hopefully this will appear again as the car self teaches its stuff.

XM works fine on my 2 weeks old MS with the 8.1 update. I see 21 Categories each of which expands to several stations.

OK. I don't have the whole plethora of the XM stations listed on the screen at once. Instead I see 21 categories (or folders) - pop, entertainment, 5 sport folders, religious, comedy, etc., etc. Each of the categories expands to the stations appropriate to its category. I thought this was the...

Funny, I got my XM radio to work fairly easily. I called XM to transfer one of my accounts to the Tesla and gave the XM agent the Radio ID. He adjusted whatever he had to and remotely refreshed the radio. I also got a text message with a link to refresh the radio. It seems to work ok. I got my...

I was told that the car had to be driven 100 miles before cruise control would take effect. It had 12 miles at delivery and 135 miles on the odometer now and no cruise control the last time I checked. And no TACC until software is updated for the newer hardware. I'm slowly but surely getting...

Well the Expecting Phase is finally over. I was handed the Key Fobs yesterday in exchange for zillions of signatures on documents the contents of which I had no idea. :) Slightly used car - 12 miles on the odometer. Everything seems to check out at the delivery center but I will still have...

Yes! Tesla cures gas problems. Now you can eat more of those beans. :)

LED_FT: Why r u up so early? Too excited to sleep perhaps?? :) :)

My Tesla still says: "Your Tesla has been built and is in transit from the factory." Glad it's way out of date now.

D-Day for me tomorrow. D as in Delivery!!!!! Already have some names to choose from for the christening - many different types, some some serious, some funny, some cryptic, some scientific ...... The IV feeding, I mean EV, is awaiting it in the Nursery, garage that is. Here's to all of us new...

I won't decide on any aftermarket armor, etc. unit later. Not sure that it's necessary or worth doing yet. And don't want to rush in because of irrational emotional over-protectionism - like that with a newborn baby.Hope I don't regret it. ... :)

Picking up mine on Friday!!!!!!! Hope it is being checked out thoroughly now. Tesla wants final payment electronically transferred to them before pickup. Is this normal???

I suspect that there is a stork truck with sextuplets (or whatever) heading down to San Diego, depositing its young ones along the way at the appropriate delivery centers. If so they must all have been delivered already since I got my 'in transit' notice since Thursday and it doesn't take that...

... and learn how wash and bathe baby and how to change diapers...

Update! The stork is on its way! My Tesla: My Tesla has been built and is in transit from the factory. Hope its heading straight to LA. Am I all agog??

I already printed out (on my own color laser printer) the full owner's manual plus some other stuff and had the lot spiral bound at Fedex. Staples or other printing and reproduction facility will also do this for 5 or so dollars. I figure a $100K + expenditure deserve a little bit of toner...

Judging from the recent flurry of posts here and my own situation, it seems that my surmise about the Stork truck filled with the baby Teslas soon headed for So Cal may have some substance after all. I too finally heard some good news from my DS. I'll most likely see the newborn next week. My...

Looks like they are preparing to fill up one of those Stork trucks with the newborns for deliveries along the way to So Cal. Hope potential kidnappers stay away.

Will do!! Soon as I get home. :)

Good News!! I was just notified that my S90D Elephant is out of labor (aka production). Actual delivery is estimated to be between 3/13 - 3/27, a two week uncertainty!!?? My order date was 12/25/16, so it was a long gestation period. Looking forward to discovering first hand what all this Tesla...

I've learned not to expect any more insights from my DS that I can glean from the estimates on the My Tesla site. Of course I expect to be informed if there is something awry with the production. No news is good news and they say. I haven't heard from my DS yet so I am not sure that he/she is...

In addition to all these add-ons perhaps they'll throw in a Pinto body to cover it all. That'll make the missus really happy!! :) Seriously, I gotta start thinking about some kinda body armor too ...

Finally!! My Model S 90D is in Production. Ordered 12/25/17, VIN 182xxx. Maybe the remarks about it being an elephant with a long gestation period and its long front trunk caught their attention. Ha Ha!! Now I wonder how long its delivery to LA will take??!! Already got several options for...

I think I must have ordered the Elephant model S what with such a long gestation period. Must be getting the extra long Frunk option! New orders seem to have a much shorter pregnancy period.

I seem to be behind on the queue, having ordered on 12/25 and confirmed on 1/2. Hopefully, I'll will hear that my 90D will be in production soon ......

Well, this is all good news for you fellas whose cars went into production. Congrats! It's a bit curious though that I ordered earlier, 12/25, and 'My Tesla' still says 'scheduled for production'. Wonder what's going on??

The calculation for my estimate: My COE is roughly 17 cents per KwH avg. (I am on a tiered option, since I am home most of the time and don't opt for the TOU option). This translates to $15.30 for fully charging a S90D (90KwH). This will buy about 5 gallons of gas, and assuming a generous 300...

This is my first post here although I have been gleaning a lot of information from reading these threads. Here is my situation: I placed my MS order on Dec. 25 and it is currently in the eternal "Schedule for Production" state, estimated delivery February - Early March. I unfortunately seem...
