    Model S Trailer Hitch Installation

    Probably too late with this post but I installed this hitch yesterday on my ‘18 S100D and used my Dremel tool. I cut out the provided template and traced the outline. The Dremel made the cut easily and quickly. Mounting the hitch looks daunting but was surprisingly straightforward and took...

    13,000 miles, 45 days, 25 states, 3 people, one 2017 Model S90D

    Thanks for the write-up. Hoping to do something similiar next year. Echo your comments about the scarcity of charging infrastructure in MT). Northern MT and ND definitely require some advanced planning ... which is all part of the fun.

    Calling all military/ veteran owners

    Nuc Navy 1974-1980, Navy SelRes 1986-2004, recalled to AD from 2005-2012. Besides buying a Tesla (of course) the Navy was one of my best decisions.

    Supercharger - Dickinson, ND

    Zaxxon — Please let me know how this goes. We are planning a TR park visit next month after a family reunion in Billings and then down to Rapid City. The lack of any PlugShare resources past Billings was quite a hindered effort until I came across this thread. Lightfoot — Terribly impressed...

    POLL: Have you had to have your 12V battery replaced?

    Have had my ‘18 S100D 6-weeks. 4,500+ miles no troubles whatsoever but battery alert this week and replaced this morning. Tech said some recent firmware updates were putting a “strain” on OEM batteries. He did comment that it was unusual in a vehicle this fresh. Love the car.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    For the benefit of others who get direct ship, Tesla contracts with a covered, 6-vehicle, big rig contractor. In our case it had three Tesla’s and three non-Tesla vehicles onboard. (In case the Kalispel, MT and Gillette, WY customers are up on this forum your S100s look good and are in good...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Scott - Tesla’s VIN assignment and build interval seem unrelated. I ordered 12/26, received a VIN within a couple of weeks but the production pushed to mid-March. I’m actually still awaiting delivery nearly 100-days later. With a factory delivery you are probably ok but I’d be a bit cautious...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    If it helps, I ordered 12/26 and am still awaiting a delivery date. Promised late March so, delayed a planned business trip, now after I called them I was told vaguely that the delivery truck driver will call “sometime next week probably” when they are on the way. This has been a very...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    There seems to be massive variability depending on configuration, delivery location, etc. I ordered 12/26, received a VIN fairly quickly and am still awaiting final delivery. They are now promising 3/31. Tesla’s VINs seem to be more of an order number than a production sequencing mechanism. YMMV.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Yea! Things are happening. DS FEDEX’d me some paperwork on Monday and (Finally!) just today, “Your Tesla has been built and is in transit from the factory.” Ordered 12/26. Hoping that the (too) long of wait results in at least getting the new MCU since the car was built in March. I think I...

    [ The NW is finally in production apparently. I too am now in production. 10-week’s and 2-days is a long time to get to this point but I am now believing I may actually drive a Tesla!!!

    Thanks for the update. Like you I was chill through Jan & Feb but, now that it is March, the last-day of March delivery (maybe) was a disappointing surprise. Again, thanks for letting me know I’m not alone winning the FILO booby prize (First-In-Last-Out).

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    The good news (sorta) is I just heard from my DS who called. The bad news is that they are now estimating a delivery on the very last day of March! For the benefit of any that may be from the NW Rocky Mtn Region, apparently there are 24 Tesla’s scheduled for delivery via truck to Montana and...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    If it helps I ordered in December and still have no confirmation that I’m even yet in production much less a delivery date. DS doesn’t seem to exist since messages are ignored. Sales guy has been good but my patience is wearing thin and it does kind of sour the experience for a $100+ auto. (I...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Update: SLC Gallery Advisor, Jordan (who has been great to work with) did get back to me this morning. My assigned DS is apparently still in the witness protection program but he copied a different DS. S100D is now in production, scheduled for completion 2nd week of March, shipment/delivery...

    KirbyT — Interesting theory from your DS that all these other forum members are delusional regarding production dates.

    Kirbytazzy—DS In WPP? Apparently so. I sent a note today to the SLC “Galery Advisor” with whom I took my test ride. He was quite responsive earlier. I’ll let you know if/when I hear anything. Patience is not my strongest quality so I was deliberately ignoring the wait through Jan/Feb. Now...

    CBP - Thanks too from the other NW “late bloomer” here. I’ll call tomorrow.

    Nor me, S100D ordered 12/26, confirmed 12/29, VIN 1/10. Still not in production. Happy to see progress from all others but frustrated with radio silence from Tesla reps.
