We have both a Model S with free supercharging and a new Model 3, for which we have to pay for supercharging. I'm delighted with both. With the Model S, we did understand that we had paid a share of the cost of the network in the price of the car, and free use of the network is a nice benefit...

Take heart! I configured on January 4th and am scheduled for delivery on the 26th. I think things are speeding up.

004133 is scheduled for delivery 1/26. Can't wait even though I already drive a Model S.

Mine arrived on Friday 12/15.

I have a very early P85 Model S and a second 90D purchased a few days after the Model 3 reveal. I made my two Model 3 reservations at a kiosk at the reveal because my flight to LA for that event made waiting in line in Rocklin impossible. Got my invite to configure both Model 3s on December...

I'm so happy for you, GG! Hope my invitation arrives soon. My wife wants one pretty much exactly as you have ordered yours, but we will probably get the 18" wheels based on our favorable experience with the 19" wheels for our Model S. I take your good fortune as a good sign for the rest of us...

I did that too. Because we had gotten an invite to the reveal, there was no way for us to both be in line in Rocklin and also make our flight down to the reveal, so I waited because I was told it wouldn't matter because I was a previous owner. Of course there was no way for me or anyone at...

I agree with those who say AP1 does not see far enough ahead and thus does not react to slowing traffic until a much harder speed reduction is needed. But I still like having it and find I am learning how to disengage the cruise control when I see the distant slowing, let it slow gradually with...

Here is an update to Cargo Area Liner Mat for Easy Cleaning [Archive] - Tesla Motors Club - Enthusiasts & Owners Forum and a new photo of the BackMat with a bumper protection flap.

I'm sorry I missed your post. If you are still interested, you can e-mail Roseanne at [email protected] to figure out what your version of the Model S needs.

I have to apologize to anyone who wanted one of our BackMats over the past year or so. I have not been monitoring TMC very well in 2016. The produce is still available, but as noted above, you need to e-mail [email protected] because she needs to send some information that will allow you...

And, it looks like it will be way easier to clean than my Model S nosecone!

I'm so sorry to miss this party. We have a wedding at Stinson Beach that afternoon. But congrats, Bonnie, and have a great time all! Looking forward to seeing Sig 2 at some point at a meet-up in Rocklin.

This thread is so interesting, even when it becomes hard to understand! Apologies to all for more off-topic content.

Where oh where is the Signature X? The world wonders.

An e-mail sent by Tesla, I assume, to all reservation holders. I got it and my reservation number was 564 of the production reservations.

Charging data Yes, Bonnie. If you have the time and patience to do it, a log of each distance travelled to a supercharger, beginning "rated miles," and "rated miles" after charging would be really helpful to your many friends. I did this last year when I travelled from Sacramento to...

Yes. I, too, have a low production number on the X but am also a Sig S owner.

What kind of reservations? This is a good thread, but the numbers alone don't tell the whole story. I suggest that we use the S*** for Signature reservations and P*** for production reservations. We know, from Bonnie's thread that S1 and S2 have configured. Are all of the posts here for...

Congratulations, Bonnie. When you get your X, my wife would love to see it to see if her BackMat, originally made for our Sig 461 Model S, could be configured for the Model X as well. She has now made more than 100 of them for happy Model S owners with canine BFFs.

Here is what we did I made this liner and have sold a few to fellow Tesla owners. Details here Cargo Area Liner Mat for Easy Cleaning - - - Updated - - - We have been using this BackMat since 2012. I have made about 100 for other Tesla owners and could make a few more. See the link to my...

I have a P85, and I have never wished I had a 60. I'm on a road trip now from California to Wisconsin and back, and today I drove through South Dakota in cold and very windy weather. Even starting from Mitchell with 219 rated miles, I pulled into Murdo (138 miles away) with only 5 left. I had...

I have a Signature P85 that I ordered with 19s even though as a Signature customer, I had paid the premium for the 21s. I'm really glad I did because I think the ride is smoother and quieter. I had a P85+ as a loaner for my first annual service, and could not believe how much smoother and...

Sorry to hear this is happening to some, but on the other side, my wife recently had a piece of 2 x 4 hit our windshield as she was driving on the freeway with such force that she expected the windshield to shatter. It did not, and there seems to be no damage at all. After washing the car, I...

Here is a photo of my Silver Model S in Joshua Tree National Park earlier this year.

Well here is a "bland" picture of my silver Model S after about 600 miles since the last car wash. Taken in Joshua Tree National Park.

Consider getting a BackMat for pets or loads that may get dirt on the interior of the back cargo area (not waterproof). See post 800 at Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions - Page 80.

If you don't want to have to do the work of trying to get carpet to fit the back of a Model S, check out Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions - Page 80 post 800. My wife makes custom fitted BackMats that protect the sides and backs of the seats and they allow you to put one or...

As others have said, if you can afford it, get the 85. Remember that over time, the battery pack will gradually lose range. 265 may become 200 and 208 may become 145. In the meantime, I love the "range nonchalance" of having the 85.

I think it would be hard to incorporate the superchargers into this sort of event because as awesome as they are, they still require 30 to 60 minutes to charge a car from close to empty, and if there are multiple cars at one installation, the available charge is shared, making the time even...

I am so glad this is happening for those who have not had the tour. It is awesome. I've had it twice, once for my own delivery and once when I brought friends down in my S for delivery of theirs, and it was amazing how the factory had progressed in four months. I look forward to another tour...

Yes, indeed. I look forward to meeting you there!

When I got my Model S last October, we had a problem. I wanted to keep the interior nice and my wife wanted to be able to let our dog come along with us on our newly-encouraged adventures. She solved the problem by creating something we call the BackMat. I posted these photos at post 800...

Hi Aaron--I plan to participate in this drive assuming I can do it and still have about 150 miles of charge left to get home later that day. I'd love to have you ride shotgun with me. My S is a silver Sig Performance (VIN 461) and I love it!

I'm in for this drive on July 14th (Bastille Day) assuming I have enough charge. I'll need about 150 miles to get home after the Teslive conference. Anyone know how long the drive will be and about when it will be over? I like the idea of the approximately 43 mile drive clockwise from the...

Tesla must have just added this option in the last couple of months. We ordered the paint armor, but it was not installed and we did not realize that until we visited the Menlo store. When we saw how the 1/3 coverage looked, we decided not to go with the Tesla paint armor, in part because they...

Here is a pic of my S in Joshua Tree National Park last month. It was a great trip that included pulling into the Barstow supercharger with 6 miles of rated range left!

Did the VINs start over at 1 when they started delivering production cars? If so, then you haven't counted the ~1000 sigs that were delivered last year.

Okay, Aaron. Now prepare to be really jealous. I'm about to get a rate from the Sacramento Municipal Utilities District of $0.06 per kWh for off peak charging, putting my fill up from nearly empty at about $5. The only catch is that I have to avoid the on peak periods and especially the super...

The rear floor by the hatch is a couple of inches lower than the front portion where the seats fold down, but I think it should be easy to get a foam pad or something to even it out, and if you don't mind sleeping curled up in the fetal position, there should be enough room for most folks to...

Seegem: Great post! And I loved the photo of your dog in the back of the Model S. I was originally reluctant to let our dog ride in the car when I saw how easily her hair messed up the black carpeting and how difficult it was to clean it. But my clever wife came up with a very cool solution...

And let's not forget the awkward placement of the cup holders! You owe it to your wife to take one for the team and drive the Model S so she can have the real car.

For those of you who may have been puzzled with me about the strange supercharging experience I described in post #70 of this thread, I wanted to report that yesterday I had an experience that was much more what I would expect to be normal. I started charging at 41 miles of range left and ended...

That day I had driven a lot and had charged at four different locations, adding something like 20, 16, 6, and 9 miles to try out different chargers out in the wild. After the last one (a J1772 charger on a 70 amp circuit which can also charge a roadster), I left with 66 miles left and arrived...

I'm not sure I understand your theory, but if it is that the + mileage started at 50, that still does not explain why the plus mileage is 246 and the mileage in the battery is 211. Also, while I didn't take a picture of it early in this charge cycle, I'm pretty sure it started at 0, so I am...

I had an interesting experience last week at the Folsom Supercharger. I had just driven to Tahoe and back from the Sacramento area and arrived at the Supercharger in the evening with 50 miles of range left. I charged for about an hour, noting that the recent installation version 4.2 firmware...

I agree with all of this. I have the 85 and after three months of driving the Model S, I have already wished I had a bit more range. I can't wait for that 125 kWh battery! And remember that these batteries are expected to degrade in charge-holding capacity by about 30 percent over seven or...

Mine came with the car. I understand from another post that at least one person got one from a store--I believe it was the Menlo Park store.

Congratulations, GG! I'm so glad you have your baby now! And while I am here, I will share my latest Model S acquisition.

Two quick points regarding my love affair with the Model S: (1) You don't realize how annoying the vibrations you experience in an ICE car are until they aren't there anymore, and (2) the Model S can cause you to run stop lights if you also sometimes drive a modest ICE car. I recently ran a...
