    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Agreed. Seems like vast majority of nay-sayers are either waiting for their cars or are blog watchers with doubtful intent to order one.

    New S long-range finally delivered

    Drove my 2017 S into OwingsMills (Baltimore) last week, turned it in and FINALLY took possession of my 11 month old (Nov 20, 2020) Rsrvtn # 1142xxxx new LongRange. Wish it could have been a 2022 but production was Sept so it had a 2021 VIN. White/white/19"/FSD. Is possible that was so delayed...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    CONGRATS! kinda bums me out though, when i see Tesla delivering (finally) LongRanges with 19" wheels and I am still sitting on my thumbs waiting. My order was on their books before there was even a rumor of a Refresh. Ordered 11/23. Resv# 1142xxxx. At least i finally have an EDD (Oct 9 to...

    Big boxes. 4. Need to figure out which car we're taking. Her newish Y or my older S. And see if the boxes fit in ok. I suspect it would work out.

    Google Maps shows roads and allows input of Destination requests (navigation). But the car won't show live traffic data (orange/yellow lines) unless you have opted for Premium Connectivity ($9.99/month I believe). I think new cars supposed to have it for no charge for 12 months, but my wife's y...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Like many, am waiting on LR model S (non-Plaid). Low Res#1142xxxx, since November. Got a question for the few NON-Plaid owners just taken delivery. Can you confirm delivered car has so-called staggered tires, front and rear. Look at door pillar label. Different size tires front vs rear? The...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Oh. I think i see what omarsultan was trying to say. That the Teslarati article that made the statement was relying on unverified or lamely sourced info such as a Reddit post. It does seem if indeed ANYBODY had received a refresh VIN the word would be all over the street.

    Yes, I appears is happening. Have a deliv date of Feb 22 to Mar 22 to rplace my 2017 S with brand new S, and was told by a Tes rep today, "don't say i said so" that no question, production shut down was to put a refresh process in place on the line. And is pretty major. Includes at least 2...

    Rim protection idea against curb rash (Aero wheels only...)

    "...]the rear camera's white lines which indicate the edges of the car aren't actually set at the edge[..." Actually, the white lines are not intended to show the edge of the vehicle. At least not on my 'S'. The white lines are perfectly indicating the middles of the two rear tires. If I keep...

    Heads up for the Maryland EV Excise tax credit

    Have looked further at the MD state site and the form to be used. No question about it. Although they 'call' it a Tax Credit, the form allows you to submit for reimbursement as soon as you make the purchase. ie. Don't wait for next tax return. Complete opposite of approach to get the Fed...

    Heads up for the Maryland EV Excise tax credit

    But then why does the MD state website call it a 'tax credit'? (And they specifically call the $700 one for charging station installation a 'rebate'). Maryland Excise Tax Credit of $100 per kilowatt-hour of battery capacity up to a maximum of $3,000 for Electric Vehicle or Plug-in Hybrid...

    Heads up for the Maryland EV Excise tax credit

    Couple entries saying "got my $3,000". Don't understand.?? I thought the Maryland $3,000 is a tax credit. Can't use until you file next year's taxes. (vs a check-in-the-mail Rebate, which is how the Maryland EV Charging Station program works, technical name something like "Alternative-Fuel...

    Moats: Why Tesla Can Do What Other Car Companies Only Dream About

    Good article. Very good. One other Moat: the #1 and #2 highest range production EVs in the world (I think that's right). This moat will disappear over time as other companies catch up (but that will reduce the other companies' comparative price advantage). Two of biggest psychological...

    Blog Tesla: Autopilot Was Activated During Fatal Model X Crash

    OK, we get that driver was absolutely not giving the road and traffic the attention that he should. And that he had Follow Distance set to the lowest safety factor (closest). And we get that 200 teslas per day are traveling this spot (wow!) every day with no problem. So, to me the big...

    Leaving car at airport unplugged

    Not really sure this is correct. Can look at my post (photo of daily battery state) with the notes showing checkups, often twice a day. For 11 days. After first couple days vampire loss declined to very little each day. Couple times even gained a mile when temps started climbing back up...

    Leaving car at airport unplugged

    Just went out of country 11 days beginning of January. Left car in outside exposed parking lot. My 'S' was only 4 weeks old so I was a bit anal, espec since super cold spell for our area (Wash DC, Baltimore). Half the time, daytime highs 15-20(F). Nightimes about 0. Windy. So I used phone...

    First thoughts on my Model 3 vs. my Model S

    Tiny bit more, yes. Only I would notice. And the tradeoff is worth it. The clean sweep windshield is more important than the bladearem at bottom being 1/4" to 1/2" higher.

    Mirrors really poor in the rain, espec in the dark. Solution?

    Only had my "S" for about 6 weeks. Had my first extended driving for 3 hours in the rain today. First couple hours in rainy daylight, then in darkness. Both in light and in dark the rear view mirror gave such a distorted or camouflaged reflection of other vehicles that it was maybe only 50%...

    First thoughts on my Model 3 vs. my Model S

    Just for the record, I think the AP software on Model 3 is actually AP2.5, not 2.0 (and according to my tech guy who scrolled through diagnostic screens on my two month old "S" this week, that is what is now going in the Ss currently and is in mine). But from your comments it appears that the...

    Rear camera

    Actually, Volkswagen has a good fix. Am trying to sell my 2017 VW since I got my "S" two months ago.. VW puts their camera behind the VW emblem which acts like a door that swings up when you put car in Reverse. Camera stays dry and clean. Even in carwash. Leave it to the Germans...

    First thoughts on my Model 3 vs. my Model S

    Dragoljub - That's an adjustable item. My S (2 months old) wasn't getting enough of a sweep on the driver's side. A"traveling" Tesla service guy popped off my wiper arm from its shaft and moved it slightly, then bolted it back down to make an almost-clean sweep.

    Auto present door handles

    Correct. You can either use the fob, or you can select a separate function on your Control screen "Walk-Away Door Lock". If that is also hit as ON, then the doors will lock whenever you walk away with the fob in your pocket. But if it is not ON, and you walk away, the doors will not lock and...

    Yeah, i turned mine off. Personal situation is car stays in driveway, live in small town so usually don't lock the car. Every time I walk near car to go to garage, gardening,etc. I don't want the handles coming out and dome lights coming on. I don't need the auto-present really and this works...

    Towing Screw-Eye, Can't get it to screw in

    Concerning making one... It's just a 14" black one-piece Tesla item. I can't imagine cost of getting one from Tesla could be that much.

    Towing Screw-Eye, Can't get it to screw in

    So here's the end-note. Tesla rep checked it out today. Stuck in a tow eye and when it got stiff, right at the beginning, he just muscled it forward and it threaded on fine although he did have use a 14' screwdriver as a prybar to twist it all the way into its endpoint. He said some are...

    Towing Screw-Eye, Can't get it to screw in

    Thanks for all the input. No solutions yet, and have tried again to no avail. Male threads on tow-eye look good but female threads inside car housing v hard to see, but nothing obvious like obstruction, major mangling , rust, etc. I think Drewflux's and FlatSix's comments are the way to go...

    Towing Screw-Eye, Can't get it to screw in

    Didn't mean to be short. Yes, looked at my tow-eye closely. Is definitely reverse threaded. And tried screwing in the clockwise, traditional, way just because Why Not? Inside the car chassis/frame area, can't get good enough visual on the "female" side of things to see if somehow that end of...
