Looks good. Chrome wheels can look sharp on darker color cars.

My email says I will receive a 2nd invitation "in about a month or two". I have not finalized and my number is P5673.

Are you comparing a E550 or S550 to the Model S? You referenced both in the post.

Will we be getting the "free" mats for the rear seating area also or only for the front?

Very good news to hear. Glad they are addressing this.

Not sure the reason for your snarky comment but I'm just sharing the new information which I think a lot of people would be interested in hearing about. And yes, while Tesla has never officially indicated that they would introduce power-folding mirrors, they have to some degree indicated in the...

I emailed my Tesla Ownership Advocate regarding when we might expect to see Power Folding Mirrors implemented in the Model S as that is one of the reasons why I have not finalized my order. Being that the Model S is quite wide and I have single bay garage doors, it would be a hassle to not have...

Question: If you do decide to defer, do you have to notify Tesla that you are deferring or can you just let the 30 days slip and Finalize whenever you are ready?

Well, we still don't know what the monthly data plan is going to be, how much the annual service fee after 4 yrs, and new battery replacement and...

That looks nice. I imagine if you used the black color zip ties instead, it would hardly be visible.

Elon said FREE FOREVER.

That looks cool!

I'm P5673, I got the Finalize button last Thursday but still no email.

P5673, got the "Finalize" button, but no email yet. Still not ready to finalize my order yet though, I'm waiting to test drive the car at the Newport Beach store once they are available there.

I would love to see a coupe convertible version, much like the Aston Martin Vantage.

Audi A7 or MB CLS 550

No way. I love the exterior design of the car and the EV benefits but the lack of many luxury features and the quality of the interior would prevent me from buy this car if it was an ICE considering the price category.

Yes, but besides that, what other video sources can be displayed on that beautiful screen?

So, do we know yet if the 17" display can play videos from the web browser, YouTube, or an external source like the iPad or iPhone?

MikeK, thanks for the great info! Nice to know about the panel gaps being resolved and the pano roof bar looking a tad better.

I am also thinking of deferring my delivery for a more integrated and "luxurious-looking" center console, power-folding side mirrors and better fit and finish leather. I would rather wait a few more months for these features than take delivery of the car now and have to live without them during...

I believe one of the posters on this forum, Spatters0911, posted in the "Unknown" thread (post #120) on July 1 that he spoke to one of the engineers responsible for the power folding mirrors and he confirmed that it was going to be part of the car, maybe not in the first deliveries but they plan...

Tesla is taking this minimalist interior concept to the extreme. Unfortunately, it is getting out of hand. Another fail for the interior which continues to disappoint.

I would be willing to delay delivery of my Model S for a few months if the following features will be included: * A more elegant and integrated center console * Power folding mirrors * Blind spot monitoring system

Very excited to hear the news about the power folding mirrors making it into the production models. Hopefully, it'll be ready by the time I take delivery in late December or January. Does anyone know if they also plan to add a blind spot monitoring system to the mirrors in the future?

I would add... 7. A beautifully designed console that incorporates the leather and the selected wood trims (or CF) to give it a more luxurious feel similar to other high-end cars found in MB, Audi, BMW.

I'm P5673 and got the email this morning. Had to decline because I'm currently vacationing in Europe and won't be back in time for the event in LA. Hope they can schedule a test drive event at the Fashion Island store soon.

I totally agree with this. The front console options that have been introduced seems like a lazy and cheap attempt to satisfy those of us that want a elegantly designed center console that would be befitting for a luxury sedan in this class, i.e. Mercedes, Audi, Jaguar. In my opinion it is...

I thought CA only allowed 7 letters on the plates?

I believe the paint protection does cover the whole front of hood (or frunk) based on the schematics that I saw. Did you hear something different?

The trunk liner can be lifted up to reveal some additional space in the trunk, which is perfect for storing the UMC. Saw this in the beta this weekend at Newport Beach.

The fit and finish in the Beta interior looks awful from the pics AnOutsider showed us above. Hope this gets vastly improved once the RC models are ready.

Nice! Gonna have some fun with this.

Love the DRLs on the Betas.

Are you saying you would really be OK with waiting 10 seconds for the door handles to slide out? Really? I would venture to say for MOST people if the handles took 10 seconds to slide out that this would not be acceptable. Now, I'm pretty sure it doesn't take that long to slide out but the...

Don't get me wrong, I think the retractable door handles has a certain "cool" factor, but it is still not as easy or fast as opening the doors with traditional door handles. It seems we have to depress the door handles and wait for the handles to slide out before we can pull it open. I know...

Someone posted on the Tesla Forum that they were told by George Blankenship that the center console would be customizable. Has anyone else heard about this or have more info on how the "customization" would work? I hope one of the options would be something along the lines of what we saw in...

Has anyone actually seen the door handles work well in person? From all the videos that I have seen and from attending the beta visits, the door handles have not operated smoothly or without some manual assistance from inside the cabin. It's still a bit disconcerting to me.

Doug, thanks for the video. Just as Goyogi said, looks like you can just press the door handles and it will pop out.

While I can understand the benefits of the retractable door handles for better airflow and aerodynamics, I am concerned about some of the potential practical functionality of the door handles in certain situations. For example, how would the door handles slide out if the valet wanted to open...

2000 Lexus ES300

Good to hear. Thanks!

It's very disappointing to hear that there will be no memory seat functionality, especially when you are paying $70-$100k for a car. Yes, I understand you can't have everything but even cars in the lower price range of under $30k have this feature and it's not new technology. You would think...

Tesla Shares Plunge 19% Today After 2 Key Engineers Leave Not sure is this was already posted but just saw this news come across. Hope this doesn't affect the delivery dates or the completion of the final designs of the production models. Does anyone have any concerns? Links attached...
