Finished! I am pleasantly surprised.

Here's is one: Model S Energy LOG - Google Sheets Enter your data in Columns A through G. The other columns have formulas. You might also change one or more values on the Constants tab to suit your situation.

Routing through superchargers is a great feature. I am a fan. Thank you for all that you do!

Thank you, thank you. I bought this color [Brown] sight unseen and it doesn't disappoint -- especially when it's seen in direct full sunshine. It's a fairly rare choice. Perhaps you've seen this collection of brown cars. The images fairly show the actual color in common lighting situations and...

Tesla Motors could easily restore this feature in a firmware update with a 2 button press on the FOB.

I like the way that looks! Very nice

Thank you for the spreadsheet link. I think that one should consider setting aside some amount annually ($2,000?) for the traction battery as it will need to be renewed at some point. Perhaps there will be an improvement in the battery technology with a retrofit exchange available but at some...

True that heavy acceleration results in increased wear and tear e.g. tire tread life. But this is true for any vehicle. Model S applies its massive torque smoothly upon launch if you gradually squeeze on the power as opposed to stomping on the accelerator. Make sure that your gear reduction...

Congratulations in advance and thanks for all that you do with the spreadsheet updates!

While unfortunate that you had a problem with your charging cable (UMC), this was a singular event and therefore does not support your case. In fact all of your bullet points are extraneous. Your best bet is to stick with the door handle complaint. However, it does sound like you may face...

How about that! Same day

@Alain13 Production complete 10 April Hooray! 3 days for the build.

I confirmed the day before you and can report that production for mine began a couple of days ago [4/08]. You are close!

regarding the alleged tampering with the fuse in the frunk -- I quote from the blog rebuttal "...determined that the car's front trunk had been opened immediately before the fuse failure Anybody find it interesting that Model S phones home to report or record this kind of data?

Hello @Alain13 Update this day [08 April] "In Production The Tesla Factory is building your Model S"

Happy get a good visual of the completed installation. It's hard to imagine any aerodynamic penalty as the modification appears to fit flush with the battery. I assume that the plastic shield must be trimmed back to accommodate the visible aluminium piece? Maybe some Speed Tape would close that gap.

Perhaps the Sedona Rouge Hotel & Spa? PlugShare lists a NEMA 14-50 for that location.

There was a great opinion in the WSJ titled Tesla Seeks Loophole, Not a Revolution A franchise arrangement is inevitable as Tesla and EVs become mainstream.

... and a thrashing wound-out 4 cylinder at that! But, then again the public is expecting sound to identify with, whether that be fury from musical sound track or a thumping V8 to go along with such an exotic looking sleek machine. It was an inside joke between the sound editors (we can imagine...

Thanks to the heads up from posters on this thread, I was able to take advantage of the reported unbundling of the twin charger option feature. Production commences 6 April so the order modification got done just in time. Joe, the OA in Raleigh, NC was most helpful. I won't have the HPWC in my...

Indeed. That screw, one of several, holds the plastic aerodynamic cover. The miniature tsunami that rippled across the plastic shielding popped it right out. While the intent of the new mod is to protect the battery. It would still be a bad day. The battery chiller mounted just forward on...

Enquiring minds want to know: Is the factory installation (post 6 March) going to be an integral welded incorporation or will it be a "bolt on" as the retro-fit is surely to be?

Glad for the protection and peace of mind. On the other hand... added weight = reduced acceleration. I see that the range penalty is less than 1 mile.

This link to the document was on the My Tesla dashboard and I think you want to look at pg. 9 (Resolving Faults) https://www.teslamotors.com/sites/default/files/blog_attachments/mobile_connector_manual.pdf

I'm going to guess that Hill Start Assist is done with the motor (a la creep mode) and not with the emergency brake?

Update: Estimated Delivery (w/appointment for pick up time!) 25th April The Owner Advisor quoted 9 weeks at the onset and now my Delivery Experience Specialist has planned this appointment which works out to 7 weeks from confirmation. The 2 week gap makes sense as the ordering process allows...

Serge, I like the graph presentation that you did of your adventure road trip. Is there a software template that you used?
