Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[salvadorsantan]

Why is it fake

Because, it does not become reality until you are standing in front of the car, checking for gaps, missing mats, key fobs and new hinges…matter of fact, until you don’t tap “accept delivery”, it is not real.

 

[Ziddy]

Makes sense now so whats your edd say now that you unmatched?

I'm also in South Floridumb; I recall you and I both ordered our S LR a day or two apart from each other; if not on the same day. My date changed quickly to an earlier date, and then within a couple of days to July 6 -September 14, and has stayed at that for the majority of March.

What is your order date?

Question on my mind as I wait…

Brake Regen, one pedal driving in winter. On the LR S. How do you guys handle this in winter. Did I hear that there are no adjustments for this? Can it be turned off in winter?

Driving carefully on ice and snow - no issues with regen. Just learn how to feather and you will be fine. A nothingburger IMO.

Hah. Was just at Tesla this afternoon, and got to see a new S that was about to be delivered. I checked it over to see if things had improved at all. Nope, not really.

I’ve never changed anything in Winter vs Summer for 2 years Model X 1 year Model 3P. Both had snow tires. I travel between central NH and MA. X did way better than the 3. 3 would slip on gentle acceleration due to its rear bias. But max regen in winter was fine. Usually when it’s cold and icy chances are I have some reduced regen naturally any way.

Just like you don’t slam the pedal down in icy conditions. Don’t jerk your foot off either. If you want to be efficient you want to roll to a stop exactly where you want to land. That usually means letting up gradually. You don’t jerk you foot off, see your gonna be short and hit throttle again then jerk it off again. You want to let up with one continuous deceleration.

Beautiful!

Could you share pictures of the back of the car? Excited to see new lights on a red!

The new tail lights look absolutely fantastic in person, I have to say.

While you are at it, has anyone figured out how to adjust the Refresh 2.0 hinges? I read several pages back that the hinges are electronically adjustable to change the door closing tension.








[Early] April fools!

And I was wondering if anyone is going to PPF and Ceramic their new hinges?

Enough! There’s no such thing as PPF.

No paint or gap issues? Except for the shoddy paint and gaps that are clear as day on the rear?

Yup. That's my car in fact. The 'shoddy' paint is left over wax. The gap we fixed with the adjustment bumpers. I'm happy.

Aerodyne and I went over the car for about 90 minutes this afternoon. Big shout out to him for helping me out today.. I need to treat him to lunch.

Missing: Spoiler and FOBs. Nada else.

I have not calibrated my eyes to the new rear lights. Looks better than my '15 anyway.

Some of the vertical mismatch was in the hatch adjusted out after the vid.

Are you mad because you have a white car? Gaps always look worse in white, I know...
