    Model S range and interior update imminent?

    Ha a 1 inch gap on a Tesla means it can’t be a production car. Is that because the gap is too small?!

    Model S range and interior update imminent?

    This is stupid. They don’t even have floor mats out for the model 3. Why on earth would there be mats for a yet unreleased updated model S.

    Hard braking with TACC in stop-n-go traffic

    haven’t read through all of this and not sure if this has been mentioned. But try using chill mode while in autopilot. I have found it to lead to a smoother more comfortable autopilot experience. Don’t get as much herky jerky speed up and slow downs. Everything more gradual. May help if this...

    Model S range and interior update imminent?

    I doubt this anything more than almost end of quarter and they probably filled their quota for the model s for the quarter.

    AP1 vs AP 2.5

    I can say that AP1 is clearly much slower (not smother) in changing lane and accelerating/slowing down when changing speed. I find personaly the calibration of the AP1 for those manoeuvre, I must admit, more natural and close to the speed a human driver would perform those actions. The AP2 is...

    Chill mode impact on range?

    I now put chill mode on when on autopilot and it’s great. Previously for all adjusts in speed on tacc would be jolting and use high kWh. Chill mode adjust this better and get much better range while on autopilot with chill mode on.

    Another Tesla Screw-up? (Three-position dynamic LED Turning Light)

    Maybe I am wrong but I thought i read somewhere in this forum that since its adaptive turning lights there needed to be a connection between the wheel and the lights. But maybe I am wrong. I had a service visit to fix alignment and the lights. And they told me they couldn’t do the lights at...

    Another Tesla Screw-up? (Three-position dynamic LED Turning Light)

    I am waiting to hear of a “successful” retrofit. Meaning lights replaced and then actually work. I think this is harder than expected since needs to be wired into the steering wheel harness. I personally don’t want them doing this till they really actually know how to do it correctly...

    Model S range and interior update imminent?

    These forums are ground hogs day every 3 months over and over!! But regardless tesla gradually upgrades things slowly over time and never usually all at once.

    How many people have actually had them replace and put the new lights in. Forget about them actually working.

    Another Tesla Screw-up? (Three-position dynamic LED Turning Light)

    I dropped my car off today to have the adaptive headlights installed. Will let everyone know how it goes and if it’s succesful. But I have a p85+ loaner so they can take their time!! Off topic but this yacht floor is awesome!!

    I can’t wait for the new one that will still not have door pockets or grab handles!!!

    Model S range and interior update imminent?

    Personally I don’t see a HUD coming to tesla. For a company betting on autonomous driving who just got rid of the instrument cluster in the model 3 and is using middle touchscreen instead. Just don’t see it. But that’s just my opinion.

    The ny rebate is automatically deducted from the price my tesla. There is nothing you have to do at the sales center

    Picked up my Model S Last night

    They are supposed to be standard now. However everyone who took delivery in September did not receive them and now waiting on replacements. I would check and make sure you in fact have them.

    Model S range and interior update imminent?

    Don’t know. I think everything in this car was done for a reason both including and excluding Things. I personally hate door pockets and love the way the inside of the door looks. But I get people wanting these things but I don’t think these things make this an awful car. I love the simple...

    Just find it funny that people think having door pockets and coat hooks makes something more advance or more luxurious.

    Delivery update from order on Oct. 1

    I bet you get before 12/31. Plenty of 3rd quarter 9/1 orders delivered before 10/1. Can’t go by the my tesla guesstimate

    Is my $7500 tax credit in jeopardy

    Honestly, the ending of the credit would be a gift to tesla. They are getting to 250k next regardless of the tax credit and will sell lots of model 3 cars without the credit. However tesla issue will be in 2 years when bmw Porsche Volvo etc come to market with their own EV’s that will be...

    Low Inventory Levels

    I highly doubt anything is being updated on the model s anytime soon. According to the quarterly report the inventory levels are low because they aren’t making any inventory cars and instead focusing their manpower on the model 3.

    White Interior Comes with Black Panels Around Steering & Glove Box?

    Tesla changed the model S to have black in these areas in the past month. Unfortunate that they did this as the two tone look in these areas is awesome.

    Low Inventory Levels

    I think they sold a lot of inventory end of quarter 3 with aggressive pricing and interest rate. I wonder if they haven’t produced more inventory since they are doing overseas orders first. Last quarter they produced a lot of inventory in August.

    Delivery update from order on Oct. 1

    You can’t go by the estimated delivery date. It changes back and forth and is not accurate. Your DS is the only one with accurate info. I had my late September early October q3 date pushed to late November 2-3 weeks before I actually picked up my car. They always do US orders in the last month...

    Three-position dynamic LED turning lights in new, custom Model S

    I finally heard back through the escalation process after doing it twice. Having not heard from my DS at all. After the escalation returned my email I immediately received a call from the manager of the local service center. I am not waiting for the service center to get the parts. Weird part...

    Delivery Extended: Tax Credit Implications?

    Do not go by the dates on your my tesla page. They are always off. You will get the car before the end of the quarter. Tesla usually makes overseas orders first and then goes to east coast and finally west coast. This last quarter they were delivering cars ordered 3-4 weeks before end of...

    Tesla all weather mats still out of stock. Are the ones for sale on the weather tech site the same exact thing without the tesla emblem?

    Dumb leasing question.

    Only on leases. All leases require GAP. However buying the car doesn’t require GAP

    Dumb leasing question.

    Not everyone is finding lease deals for 700 a month and those are usually on older inventory cars with mileage or showroom condition which is fine. Usually have to wait till end of quarter as well and usually more prevalent in california since there are more inventory cars there. I ordered...

    Current S & X OWNERS: What is your favorite currently available exterior color and WHY?

    Love my white on white, just a beautiful color combo, and was my wife's choice although I am very happy I listened to her. Silver looked to much like my prior Lexus. Midnight silver in the right light is beautiful but looks different colors in different lights. I liked red but my wife said it...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    That is a bs response to cover their tracks. The adaptive headlights are supposed to be standard on the model S now, more than just the fog light. I even went online and spoke to the expert chat specialist to ask this question and detail what I would be getting standard now if I ordered a new...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    You have two lines of headlights. The lower portion are the regular lights the second upper row is where the adaptive lights would be. You either have lights there or a chrome filler.

    Model S range and interior update imminent?

    Sorry. If they went to that Mercedes interior I wouldn't have bought a tesla. I really like the current simplistic look. It's just great. Focus more on snappier touch screen and better UI and apps for the touch screen.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    No one has gotten them yet outside of people with the PUP and tesla screwed up big time and has not responded on how they will correct this. Instead all of our Delivery specialists were trying to find anyway to make us feel we were wrong and they weren't standard. But it is standard and they...

    Did you name your Model S, and if so, what?

    we got a white on white model S and my 5 year old son thought the seats in the videos he saw looked like stormtroopers. So since they call it the stormtrooper car, we named it stormtrooper

    $1,000 referral discount will end on Oct 31

    If your in the US or Canada you probably won't be able to get your car before end of December. They make Europe and Asia first. Then do US and Canada toward end of quarter. You can also set your delivery date ahead of time for whenever you want

    Three-position dynamic LED turning lights in new, custom Model S

    Is My guess is it's all about the wiring and if new needs to be added and if it does how difficult is that. As far as adding the bulbs they have to have a method as I am sure they have had to replace lights before.

I have to believe they forgot to change the factory...

    Another Tesla Screw-up? (Three-position dynamic LED Turning Light)

    When you ordered could you order the cold weather package or upgraded sound a la carte? Or was it one combined PUP package. If one combined PUP then they are lying to you. I ordered 8/10 and it definitely had changed.

    Another Tesla Screw-up? (Three-position dynamic LED Turning Light)

    Honestly it sounds like someone at the factory screwed up and forgot to make these headlights part of the standard configuration. Hopefully they will or will have to do right by us.
