Thanks for the advice!! Did that today. After the phone call, about an hour later I got all I needed. Turns out there was an email typo (extra character). Email address is non-existing. All good now. Customer service on the phone was great. No worries from me. Typo's happen....

As we know now standard can mean the hardware is there just not turned on.

Give me some sugar baby
My guess is maybe half are really serious about buying and the other half are (like me) hedging their bets to see what the final product looks like and costs before making a decision. Some of those people also reserved two cars and might only order one.
18-24 months is a really long time to wait, honestly I think maybe 25% of those first 200K pre-orders follow through though of course pre orders will continue to trickle in continuously.
Maybe someone can find a apkAs we know now standard can mean the hardware is there just not turned on.

Model S and X run on a variant of Linux not Android. It would still require rooting and flipping the bit from 0 to 1. As was the case for Supercharging and has already been done.Maybe someone can find a apk
I didn't realize on most stores the rep was the one inputting the email. At Fremont factory we entered the info ourselves, so if there's the typo.. it's basically our fault.. lol

has anyone figured out the RN # yet?
from what i can tell, on the two we ordered the RN1073xxxxx & RN1083xxxx, the first 3 digits appear to be the order sequence for the location. i state this based on the 100 people that were in line and I showed up shortly after the line cleared. the reset of the number has no sequence it appears.

My RN starts with 1083 as well. Stood in line at Tyco and was like 70ish in line.
I stood in line at King of Prussia and was behind about 75 people and mine starts with 1081.
Wait, someone has hacked a Model S to turn on supercharging for free? Is that what you mean? That's pretty crazy. And awesome.

This was a salvaged Tesla. When a Tesla is salvaged they turn off Supercharging and 3G/4G access. Since the Tesla originally came with Supercharging, the new owner took it upon himself to turn it back on once repairs have been made.

Which showed that the SC just checks the cars for access it doesn't (at this time) report back to Tesla, the car does. That will have to change if they want to charge Model 3 drivers for usage.
My RN also begins with 1081...this clearly is redundant across many orders, so it could depict region. I placed my order online, 3/31.
Now all that's left to decode is the remaining 5 digits. Although it can't be numerical place in line because there were obviously more than 99,999 pre-orders.
Has anyone ordered really late and has gotten a RN larger than 9 digits???

Not necessarily. The car could report back to HQ via wifi/4G that it supercharged. No need to change the Superchargers.

Yeah, but cars where they have disabled the ability for the car to talk back to Tesla (like the salvage car in the example above) could potentially have SC re-enabled and the SC would be none the wiser.
NOTE I AM NOT ADVOCATING STEALING POWER IF IT IS REQUIRED TO BE PAID FOR!!!!! I am just pointing out that making the SC report back instead of the car takes that possibility away.
This has already been done.
When Tesla discovers a Model S has been declared salvage, they remotely access the car, shut off supercharging, and then disable remote access. This is done by disabling the features in the car remotely, without the owner's permission.
Salvage Model S's have had supercharging re-enabled after it was disabled by Tesla. Not hard to do if someone gets root access to the car.
Personally, I don't have a problem with that. If someone has paid Tesla for supercharging, (either explicitly on an 60 or implicitly on a 70/85/90), I don't see how Tesla can justify shutting it off remotely. I don't see it as stealing power - I see it as re-enabling a feature you paid for that was taken away illegitimately.
Now I do think it's uncool/sleazy/etc to gain root access and turn on supercharging on a 60 for free, without paying Tesla for it. That's a whole different story.
