Thanks. I read that before posting but it seems like transport mode is only for winching onto or out of a trailer. Supposedly we could just drive it in and out; I just don't want the battery to discharge. In Audi, transport mode disables alarm but I guess Sentry mode being disabled accomplishes the same thing.

When I had my first Tesla in 2019, they flat bedded it to the service center to avoid putting miles on it to address delivery issues. So yes, you can flat bed it (recommended per Tesla) and just put it in park. Disabling Sentry Mode will prevent any false positives. Not sure there is a large concern of the battery discharging any more than leaving it parked for an extended period of time.
One thing to note: if you are not in the trailer, you cannot monitor the car location from the Tesla app. I do not believe the location updates while the car is in park. Saw this reported either here or on the local Facebook group.
You would tow it forward to recharge the battery. I'm not aware of any regenerative charging that happens when you let off the gas when going in reverse, but I've never really gone fast in reverse.I got an idea - you tow it backwards and it charges the battery!!!!

Yeah don't do that either way lol! It will still regen in reverse too. The car isn't meant to be towed like that. That's why they still have a neutral option. I know some people have done it, but it could be dangerous if the car overheats due to over-regeneration. This is more of a concern when the car itself is disabled and thus cannot manage its thermals, but still, not a good idea to tow it.
It's important to remember that regeneration uses to the kinetic energy in the brakes to charge the pack, and as with any charging, heat can become an issue, especially if the car cannot limit or control the regen, such as when it's being towed.

Sorry about your experience. But you could have more sympathy for a newcome. Perhaps your car might arrive sooner.

I had an RN1163 Red/Cream/19" LR ordered with EDD of May. I started using the tesla-info site to get push notifications for Inventory cars. This evening it notified me of a Red/Black/19" available. Im in VA and the car is in FL. $1000 delivery to VA. So, I purchased it and now should get delivery Feb 2-6. I expect that date could push out some. I realize this could be someones reject. It could also be a financing that fell through and who is to say my original order would be perfect. The car had FSD, but I was able to delete FSD during the purchase to knock off that $12,000. I had the FSD subscription for a while on my model Y and its not even usable. Elon says end of 2022 to be safer than human, I say no way.

Can you run the car in all suspension settings? No problems then? I might buy them then.
Decided to go ahead and forget about updated lights and TOOK DELIVERYY of my MS LR.
NF467 in NY. It was goregeous. Much better build quality than my August 2021 Plaid delivery.
It was missing the trunk lid and front passenger seat had warping in the upholstery - they will be replacing the entire seat and providing the trunk lid at a later date.
In addition we have a snow storm today/tomorrow yet the car had Pirelli summer tires on. They agreed to swap the tires for AS tires as soon as they receive them and set up a service visit for both the Seat and Tires. All in all, helpful delivery team and very understanding.

Booo! My Plaid delivery just got pushed back from Feb 9-Feb 23 to Feb 13-March 13. After seeing so many people get their VINs and earlier EDDs, I was getting excited. I guess I’ll just have to keep living vicariously through you all a little longer.
I’m loving that new Charge Stats feature of the app though. Seems strange that they put all that work into allowing us to customize the peak and off-peak and seasonal rates but won’t let us add a decimal place to the price. I wonder how accurate it is and if it takes into account preconditioning and other power draws.

I mean what is the significance to us seeing new lights?They prepare mobile app to for visualizations refreshed parts of Model S 2022
So I’ve been assigned a VIN for almost a week, but overnight my delivery date disappeared. In its place it just says:
Does anyone have experience with this? Delivery scheduling imminent? Cancelling my VIN (still showing up for now)? Never know with these guys….
Estimated Delivery: TBD
Delivery timing will be available soonDoes anyone have experience with this? Delivery scheduling imminent? Cancelling my VIN (still showing up for now)? Never know with these guys….

Installed. I have a 2021 so that may be the reason, but I have no change in any light assets.
The charge stats are nice but I would like to customize the time frame shown - not just the 31 days that is has as its only option. I would like to replace Tessie in this area but Tessie allows the time frame to be customized and export the data.

Someone posted this in one of the steering wheel threads. That thing is so bloody ugly. There's no way that's going on my ~100k car...
