I didn't notice a difference in the ARNR, but I've not had anyone in the back seats yet. It will be interesting to see if back seat passengers impact ARNA performance..

Looks like the video party is over... NHTSA was not happy about the passenger play feature.

"Tesla confirmed that it will shut down “passenger play,” which allows for playing video games on the center screen of its vehicles while driving. The change comes after NHTSA announced that it is opening an official probe into the situation. Tesla has recently been putting more work toward video games inside its vehicles with the goal to “optimize fun” with its ownership experience.
Earlier this month, we reported on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) confirming that it is talking with Tesla about the “passenger play” situation. Yesterday, NTHSA confirmed that it had opened an official probe into the situation and planned to study how the feature is being used. The probe put enough pressure on Tesla that the company decided to walk back the feature. NHTSA confirmed Tesla’s decision today (via Associated Press)
The update is reportedly already being pushed as part of Tesla’s holiday update. NHTSA says that it will continue its probe despite Tesla making the change and will study how Tesla owners use the center display and its entertainment features."

Thanks! I ordered a set of the Gorilla lug nuts. The black chrome set are part number 61148BCX-20. I still need to measure the hub to see if the common 56mm caps fit.

I ordered a y for my wife. Her lease is up in august and I don’t trust the supply chain. Tesla has bounced the dates from February to July and back down to April, I can wait, but if bounced around august and September I’d be a wreck.I feel you. My current lease (19 crosstrek) doesn't end till April and my current value is 10k more then the buyout currently. I don't want to lose that value, because that kick back will help with the down payment on the S. But I still have time, and looking at other deliveries, it seems to be a 6-7 month turn around after initial order. So you'll definitely be looking at a January delivery! Finger crossed!
you can generally extend a lease a few months, but I would not count on delivery of your Tesla, until you have it home, and it works.
i had a freaking delivery appoint,ent for December 29 revoked!
i think expecting the car and believing the delivery date ahead of time is very dangerous.
i may trade in, and even then I hope I bet that rare pearl that freezes up after 2 days.

Yes. Like you, I configured in January I ordered Jan 23 and picked it up on Nov 27th. before all the increases.
I want to smoke what the NHTSA is smoking. They are ignoring the dumb yoke and focusing on video games in their pursuit of "safety".Looks like the video party is over... NHTSA was not happy about the passenger play feature.

I get the NHTSA. Do we really need video games in the front seat while driving?
As someone who was at one time thinking of dropping my order because the yoke was forced on us with no other option, after finally taking delivery and driven about 250 miles, I have come to really like the yoke and the turn signal buttons.
I don't believe it makes the Model S "unsafe". Give it a chance. You might like it.
What do other drivers with yoke experience think?
Is anyone buying the expensive third party steering wheel and changing out the yoke?

Obviously Tesla needed to manufacture more Midnight Silver Metallic finishes for good people like you, but as for the quantity they delivered, I took delivery of my MS MSM on 8 Dec. In the same lot / same time was another new owner taking possession of an MS MSM. And the first other refreshed MS LR I saw in my neighborhood 4 days ago was an MSM.

The yoke is absolutely awesome. It has refreshed the driving experience for me and am a fan for life.
As for gaming while "driving," I would have always expected that was locked out already, until I found a perfect use case for allowing it. I was in the 20-minute drive thru lane at In-and-Out Burger and was able to play Solitaire and 2048 while creeping forward 18 feet every 2-3 minutes. I wasn't "driving" but the car was in Drive the whole time. Ya, I guess I can keep popping it in and out of Park so I can still game while in the drive thru, but I'll miss how smoothly this worked.
Just picked up my 21 S LR. Ordered 4/13 and there has been a $15K price increase since then. I paid the original price. When you order and pay your $100 and you are locking in that purchase price. It is a contract and you will lose your $100 if you walk away.

I don’t mind the yoke except for the turn signals. I didn't know there was a third party steering wheel. I would just pay to add a signal stalk with the yoke.
And it's gone. Here is another one Black/White: Inventory | Tesla. I won't post anymore of these after this.
Thanks but I’m going back to a M3 LR. Saving the $30k. Might come back to it when Tesla comes out with a 500 mile battery, whenever that is
LR MSM RN1156 was December 23-31, then March - April, then December 23 - 31 for the past few days, now March - April again as of this morning.
