Spurious error messages when upgrading to 4.5 version 1.33.61
I upgraded to 4.5 version 1.33.61 from 4.4 last night and my coworker upgraded from an earlier 4.5 version this morning. After the upgrades both our cars had error messages telling us to contact service and not drive the car. Mine showed the dreaded 12V battery low message.
After remotely checking our cars' logs Tesla Ownership in CA confirmed that these were false error messages caused by the firmware upgrade.
If you upgrade to .61 and you receive an error message that you did not have before it very well could be a glitch. Instead of calling Tesla and being put on hold for an indeterminate amount of time or waiting over 2 hours for an engineer to review your logs like I did you might want to just drive your car for a short distance and see if the message(s) spontaneously clear. That's all it took.

My MS was on 45 1.33.51 when I received the upgrade message earlier this week. The message said it would take 45 minutes. The last update on 4.5 took less than 30 minutes. I arrived at work my usual hour+ before anyone else. And I often sit in the car for a while just for the fun of it, (don't want to leave it). So, I thought, what the heck, do the update. From 1.33.51 to 1.33.61 took 8 minutes with 4 bars. The update notes didn't show anything new. And I've not seen anything different. So, I guess we don't know yet what it fixes. But it was nice it went smoothly.

looks like they did the latest push of .61 to lots of people at once. I did mine the other night with no issues. I hope this means that they want to get everyone in synch with all the minor issues before they make the next big jump in version.
We just upgraded to .61 ourselves (got the big 4.5 upgrade while it was at the Service Center) recently. Haven't seen much yet in different behavior.

Logo Front and Rear Carpet Mats
For anyone interested in Front and Rear carpet mats with optional logos, I wanted to share a source I found on the TM forum to a seller. He's sold a couple of sets and sent me pictures, that I have added here. The choices of logos, names or even personalizing it with you own name are available. I have a set on order like the pictures below. I am interested in Frunk and Trunk carpetted mats with Tesla logos on them, in case anyone runs across a source, so please share.
The seller is Gerald (Jerry) Jones
Buffalo Grove, IL
888 563 7227
His current web site is ForMyMercedes.com
Later in 2013 he will have a "ForMyTesla.com" site also.

What have most of you experienced with using the mobile app during the production & shipping process? I saw earlier in the thread about using the "Mobile Access is off" messages to guesstimate when the car was on the ship, but my app has consistently said "No Vehicles Linked to this My Tesla Account" even though my car shows up in My Tesla on the full website, and it says production complete on the main site.
I'm just wondering if they've changed the process to completely disable the app until you actually take delivery. I'm probably just being impatient waiting now that I've sent in my $$. I'd like to be able to see if my car is on island or not. My DS originally estimated delivery by 8/19, but the car was "production complete" as of last week Monday, 7/22 and he had mentioned he thought it might make it on the 7/24 departure voyage arriving on 7/28.
Although I realize 7/28 was only yesterday, it would appear that if the car truly is here, I would like to think I could potentially get it sometime earlier than 8/19, which is almost three weeks from now. What has been the general timeframe for most folks from when the car lands here until delivery at the SC?

What I would recommend is to contact the delivery specialist you are working with. If the car arrived in Hawaii, you may be able to get your car earlier. That is the experience I had. I was able to get it a few days early just by contacting the delivery specialist. Actually, the day I called, they told me that I could pick it up that day from the SC. However, even if the ship arrives, the container needs to be off loaded and opened and the whole process of getting it to the SC takes place.
gmtom1 - I can certainly understand why you're anxious. You're so close! For awhile, my app said no vehicle linked, even though the car was already produced and I could view it on mytesla. But, once it linked and said "mobile access off," I could reliably track when my car was on the ship and when it arrived. My car arrived on a Sunday night and I picked up that Thursday at noon. I was told that I could possibly pick up on Wednesday if my car was in the first container(s) to arrive at the SC. However, the processing at the SC was rushed for me by Robert because of the delays I experienced with delivery. Luke said they often schedule pickups approximately one week after the cars arrive on island to be sure they have adequate time to make necessary repairs (sometimes, cars arrive with cracked windshields, or in my case, one of my wheels had to be replaced). Best I can recommend is to be assertive. It seems to work. Good luck during this final stretch.

Akiki, thanks for the advice about going back to the guy that did my first safety inspection. I bought the metal safety check mount from O'Reilly's yesterday after the drive out to Hawaii Kai. I took my car in this morning and got the new stickers placed. Had to use some mineral spirits to get the VOID paint off but there was no scratches. Looks great.
Hahaha, Teslanxiety - I like it! Thanks all for the support. I think I wouldn't be so bad waiting if I could just get the app working so I could tell where my car is at. It would be awesome if there was a "pre-delivery" mode in the app where you can view the car through the app and check it's location, but disable all the other stuff.
I'm not exactly 100% ready for the car anyway, as the 14-50 outlet at the house won't be done for a couple more weeks and I need to finalize my insurance arrangements for it. I'll call/email my DS (Ciaran) today to check.

Lol.. Don't worry gmtom, you quickly forget all the Teslanxiety once you see you car
I like the name of that phenomenon, Teslanxiety. I had the same experience. Mine was complicated by the fact that my first two attempts at electronic payment didn't go through. Ended up having to send a cashier's check by mail and then calling to make sure they received my payment.
Any way to speed up the outlet installation? Car deliveries have a bad habit of sneaking up on you when you least expect it ...
Unfortunately, no. I'm at the mercy of our awesome public utility waiting for a service upgrade to my meter. Fortunately, my daily commute is short enough that I can probably get by for a bit with 110v charging. I'll just have to sleep in a bit longer every day. :tongue:
