    Towed Teslas at SFO, after getting unplugged?

    It’s possible to “turn off” our cars as opposed to just putting them to sleep. I wonder if that is a better solution for long-term parking?

    Banging/clunking sound when driving over mountains in cold weather

    Your bangs must be louder than mine. I notice them but they aren't major.

    Banging/clunking sound when driving over mountains in cold weather

    Hey Jim, yes I have experienced this as well...but it's not limited to freezing conditions. I live next to a windy mountain highway and hear it sporadically while driving it. I don't know what is causing it...I've been concerned that there is a loose part.

    Calendar Sync

    I have noticed that the calendar won't populate until I turn off calendar syncing then turn it back on with my phone. It's like that action "pushes" my calendar to the car. Buggy. BTW, I only see the calendar when I have the calendar app open on the car.

    Qi Wireless Charging Poll: Jeda or Nomad?

    Well, honestly, this isn't a mission-critical piece of hardware. I suppose I can wait and "suffer" through the awkward physical cable charging until my Nomad migrates over to me. :rolleyes:

    Qi Wireless Charging Poll: Jeda or Nomad?

    My Nomad was to ship on November 30. I received no shipping confirmation nor an email announcing a delay. Anybody else have this situation?

    Unlocking with other doors or trunk

    My phone used to reliably unlock all four doors and the trunk. Now it is often just the driver’s door and sometimes the front passenger door. What changed or am I missing something?

    I want a controller for Atari Games

    I’ve found both the touchscreen AND steering wheel buttons to be laggy and unresponsive. +1 for a good old-fashioned joystick!

    California Tax Rebate Income Cap

    Thanks, that was clear. I assume you are an accountant or have been through the process?

    California Tax Rebate Income Cap

    California has annual gross income caps for rebate eligibility. It's not clear, however, if this refers to the adjusted gross income on our tax returns or some other number. Also, what tax year do we look at? Last year's? What if we don't know our final gross income for the current year...

    Is anyone able to order Custom Plates in CA?

    Ditto. The plates aren't associated with a car, right? They just become available? I guess we bring in the old plates and swap them?

    I can't decide. What do all y'all think?

    Problems with software 9.0

    I got 39.7.1 last weeks. Works fine for me. Favorites still there.

    Was v9.0 rolled out to everybody?

    I don’t have it yet. Anybody else? Is it buggy and am I better off waiting for bug fixes?

    Aero wheels

    I tried them on and off for a significant number of miles. I get the same approximately 282 wh/mi. I drive usually 75-80 on the highway. Does this seem right? Wondering why I don't get any efficiency improvement with the aeros...

    Blind Spot Monitoring

    I'm looking forward to BSM and was informed by the post. I didn't spring for EAP. Sometimes it's good to get multiple eyes on a problem. Nobody is at fault, the wordsmithing analysis was helpful.

    Non EAP Touchscreen Display

    When I test drove a car with EAP, we could see the cars behind and in the blind spots. I did not purchase EAP and still see the forward cars. The ones in back and blind spots only register as a vicinity arch. Is that others’ experience?

    AWD delivery thread

    Picked up my car yesterday in Fremont. The detailing shop did kind of a poor job and had to be redone. The charge port door doesn’t manually open and the left rear lights aren’t flush. Other than that, it’s a wonderful car! Silky-smooth acceleration and corners on rails!

    Cashier’s Check

    Thanks to all for this informative discussion! Delivery day is tomorrow and banks are closed. Would hate to delay delivery because the check is wrong.

    Did that work for you?

    Cashier’s Check

    Over the phone I was told Tesla Motors by a sales person. My DA said Tesla, Inc. I guess I’ll go with the latter..

    Who is it made out to? Tesla, Inc, or Tesla Motors? Of course they have been inconsistent.

    Deep Blue Metallic Waiting Room

    Tuesday I got the call to schedule delivery in Fremont on Monday 9/10. Thursday (yesterday) my VIN hit the account (96XXX, blue/white/aero). Today got a call from Fremont to move my delivery up to Sunday, 9/9. They are definitely pushing hard to deliver. She said delivery takes about 15...

    Just curious: Why not do ACH? I want to inspect before paying but is there another issue? BTW it's beautiful! I get mine on Monday but with white interior.

    Deep Blue Metallic Waiting Room

    I got the call yesterday and my delivery is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 10 in Fremont. No VIN. I was told I'd get it 1-2 days prior. Not sure if it matters to me because I'm doing cash. I don't think I need to supply a VIN to my insurance before taking delivery but I'll just apprise them...

    I agree that I shouldn't have to pay extra for a different color...but it's so freaking cool and I'm not a fan of black interiors.

    I got the call today. DA from Fremont called me directly. They have my car in stock and we scheduled the delivery for Monday, Sept. 10. No VIN yet. Only change to my portal page is the overview changed to have a check by "schedule your appointment" and my scheduled appointment is on my main...

    White Interior Change Order by Email

    Their info is frustrating and inconsistent. I never really felt secure that the Owner Advisor/Delivery Advisor system actually was trying to match me with the correctly configured car. Some would say it's just the website but the factory knows. Others would say the order was held up until the...

    Do DA's send emails and make calls over weekends? In other words, should we be anxiously checking our accounts over weekends? :rolleyes:

    White Interior Change Order by Email

    They finally updated my order on Wednesday. It took 5 weeks almost to the day. Now I'm just on the blue/white/aero/Fremont queue.

    Deep Blue Metallic Waiting Room

    It wasn't until Wednesday that Tesla updated my interior to white. I'm nervous that I missed the blue/white/aero bandwagon.

    AWD delivery thread

    It's unclear to me based on other people's experience. When I spoke with customer service yesterday, the first thing I asked was if I have a VIN. No. Then I asked if I have a DA. Yes. The customer service rep identified my DA as a female in the Fremont delivery center but was not authorized...

    I understand that order modifications hold up the VIN matching and delivery process. Once the modifications have been processed, you move forward. I was told on the phone that I have. DA but no VIN yet. I’m hoping these aren’t just a coincidence and that somebody is finally owning my order...

    Non-P AWD with White Interior

    I was told this morning when I called in that I have a delivery advisor and not to worry about my white interior modification (not acknowledged in my account). They "got this." Fingers crossed.

    White Interior Change Order by Email

    Thanks trmmcd, I’d be interested to learn the result. I’m going to walk into the Fremont delivery center tomorrow and try to speak with somebody in the delivery department. What do their computers see? How can we get some satisfaction on this issue?

    Honestly, I don't want to mess with it. They have their system, albeit really inefficient. I'm afraid if I get cute I could just make matters worse.
