    How will I know if my "order" went through?

    Congratulations! You have won TMC.

    Stupid Question so don’t laugh...but....

    To show you what you could have for a mere...several thousand dollars. Or, because Tesla hasn’t made the app adaptive like that, yet. Probably the latter, but there is a marketing arguement for the former.

    Masking Sensor Locations for Applying Spray-on Protection

    So I take it that no one has a map for “where the sensors are,” then?

    Masking Sensor Locations for Applying Spray-on Protection

    Front radar isn’t used for AP? Even with the correction, I’m still looking for guidance on masking the ultrasonic sensors and radar.

    Masking Sensor Locations for Applying Spray-on Protection

    A local shop in Utah is moving from adhesive-based films to a new spray on treatment. I got to examine the material applied to an Audi and test it out for damage resistance on a salvaged car hood. Having seen it, I'm a believer that it's far superior to any adhesive-based film, and as an added...

    The "GOOD IDEAS" thread

    Upper & lower temperature settings, like on a home thermostat. Lower determines the lowest temp before heat turns on. Upper determines highest temp for AC to start cooling. In between is your comfort zone. Proper sunroof control on steering wheel, because they have it backwards. Roll thumb...

    Costco Insurance "Ameriprise" has the best rate for MS

    GEICO lost me after 21 years. Outrageous rates for the Model S. Progressive came in at 1/6 the price.

    Model Y: Predictions

    My fingers are crossed for a back that is dog-friendly. Easy entry and roomy enough for 3 oversized goofballs.

    “Systems Are Powering Up. Press Brake When This Message Clears

    Happened to me on Monday, as I was ready to leave work. Car was on 2018.12. Now on 2018.14.2. Let’s report firmware long with reports. It will be interesting to see whether the bug has been squashed.

    Where do your get your winter tires changed?

    Well, that makes practical sense, then. @hroussel - do you have a machine for mounting tires to rims? (Maybe I have to find you on that “show us your garage” thread!)

    Where do your get your winter tires changed?

    Are you swapping whole wheels (tires and rims), or just tires?

    Where do your get your winter tires changed?

    Because my delivery just came in late February, I have yet to go through a swap-out, but our local chain Burt Brothers has serviced my ICE vehicles for years. So I inquired and they said they handle Teslas all the time. (There are several in the area here.) That’s probably your best...

    Another WiFi Bad Actor - SOLVED - Wink Home Control

    It would be extremely interesting to have someone competent with Wireshark analysis find out what the Wink does that causes Tesla to fail. FWIW, my Control4 system doesn’t interfere with the car at all.

    WiFi Connection Issue Solved

    My router runs OpenVPN, and my car has no issue connecting to 2.4 GHz WiFi through a Pakedge WAP. I’m curious about the finding that Wink was the culprit. @NewTMSMan: What’s the link to that thread you mentioned for that?

    Under-appreciated aspect of Tesla vs other cars

    I don’t accept the “other auto manufacturers ship a finished product” thesis. A simple example: my previous ride was a 2007 Toyota RAV4 Limited. It had a Bluetooth phone link with a very loud and annoying ring. There was no way to turn the ring’s volume down. An update could have added that...

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

    My middle name is Scarlett, which was my mother’s maiden name. My wife took my middle name instead of my last. So as all things now seem to go, our Control4 home is “Scarlett House” and our plates for “Scarlett Car” shall read simply “SCRLTT”. I’d ask you to guess the color if it wasn’t already...

    Software Update 2018.10.4

    I agree with @BrainCandy: lane changes mark a significant improvement. On the previous release, they felt weirdly aggressive. I didn’t like using them because I didn’t want to be “that jerk in the Tesla.” But the update is no longer abrupt. It’s been my favorite change so far.

    To New Utah Model S Owners - Things I Learned Along the Way

    The OP's advice still stands as helpful. The C-tags are in thin supply now, but the rest is great. Salt Lake City also offers a free parking in metered spots, by application.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Referral Program Changes

    I have not taken delivery of my Model S yet, but I have a referral code. I got it when I ordered.

    Referral Program Changes

    That $500 “first friend” clause should prove frustrating for those in pursuit of Arachnids or a Powerwall. After referring your first friend, your next friend is now motivated to take her referral from your first friend. You no longer have the $500, but your first friend still does. That seems...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Hi folks. New. I placed my order aroun 7 Dec 2018. Got my confirmation on 12/12. VIN arrived in early January, but I did not catch the exact date. Today, I finally got this update from my DS: As of now, your car is in the pre-production stage. The most up to date ETA that the factory is giving...
