I got confirmation from DS Fiona as well, it will comes with AP hardware. My guess for TD in Hong Kong probably takes another 3 years to approve the FW. Considering work effectiveness of HK Government. I wanna add the Air suspension but it cannot be done anymore. Fiona say it's in production, but I still saw that is in queue only from the website. Anyway, I like coilover for driving pleasure (air suspension I test drove is pretty floaty, can't even feel anything on the road, on the other hand is doing it's job pretty well), but wanna reconsider it since carpark in HK have quiet steep ramps, wonder anyone have Model S with coilover will often hit the bottom of the car in Hong Kong.

.

I ordered coil, and I did a little research comparing the height of coil and SmartAir, seems like coil will be higher than SmartAir at low and standard. Not sure about high and very-high.

I wish someone can make a video comparing the clearance of coil VS air at all settings. Anyone volunteer? Not one on YouTube.


Here's from the blog comment:

Here is part of a post from Lolachampcar at the TMC site. I think he summed it up best, for those who are used to the cushy ride of a Mercedes, the air will feel right. If you prefer the tighter feel of a BMW M (or in my case a Dodge Viper), you will prefer the coil. I can confirm the ride height difference both visibly and by the fact that air cars scrape in my drive where my coil does not.
************************
Here are my ride heights. My P+ has lowering links so I should be a tad below stock for both Standard and Low. I would appreciate it if others could add their ride heights so we can see if Tesla is reasonably consistent. I measured by dropping a tape measure to the ground, through the center of the wheel center cap and then used a small stick under the wheel arch to "bring out" the bottom of the wheel arch at its highest point.

I'm now showing late November delivery....

 

[Vmax]

Same here

 

[thvicny]

same...

 

[lx3h]

Same, but my DS said this should be the last delay on Dashboard

 

[Vmax]

Maybe no more delay on the Dashboard, but how about in reality? :crying::wink:

In reality, hopefully no more delay, else people will say "delay no more".

Any one asked their DS when the ship actually leaves the U.S.? I would, but my emails to my HK DS never get answered.

My DS called me on Friday telling me my car just been shipped and should arrive in 4-5 weeks.

 

[Lerxt]

Does it take that long? As far as I know it's normally 20 days or so. If it takes 4-5 weeks then we won't see the cars till mid December.

 

[Vmax]

Lerxt, as yours in in transit already, believe chances are still good for November. Not so sure about my car, as it still shows "In Production".

You sure Vmax? Gotta call your DS

 

[Vmax]

Talked to my DS ... "in the very late stage of production"

 

[DITB]

Updated the list in page 1 now (see link in my signature below).

A lot of information I am not certain about as I am not fed as many updates any more, as I used to. Also, "in production" and other bits we used to have are now spoofed in various conflicting information from dashboard, DS and more.

At least for those of you still waiting, there will be more equipment installed, like autopilot.

Vmax, your "In production date" was set to some date in August, yet since you write it's in the very late stages now, it cannot have been in production for two months I think (usually takes about a week, maybe even less now?)

It seems there are some issues at the factory. Whether it is upgrading efforts, or problems after a production upgrade or what - who knows? In any case, I am confident that TM isn't doing it to annoy anyone, but to make sure whatever comes out is working well and needn't be recalled again.

 

[Lerxt]

I'm sure what has happened is that they were a week or two late with the upgrade at the plant. After that they prioritized deliveries they could make before the end of the quarter to recover the sales figures.

 

[thvicny]

Just receive call from ds confirm my car will arrive mid-nov

 

[Lerxt]

Interesting, given that we ordered at the same time...hope mine is a little early...

Sorted out your insurance and financing yet? Let's head over to the other thread and discuss.

 

[Vmax]

Thought it's never going to happen.
After the Dashboard status was "In Production" for 2 months, today it changed to "Production Complete, Your Model S is in transit from the factory". So late November could still be possible.
