Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[n2mb_racing]

I got 3.99 which after taxes etc is probably still close to a wash, but figured that extra liquidity can be helpful if absolute disaster occurs

Damn, that's low. Where?

On hold with them right now with a similar issue... received the option to scheduled delivery yesterday and scheduled for tomorrow. I've been texting back and forth since then trying to get the MVPA to share with my bank for final financing with no luck...

Good luck. I think they also give you a call back option if the line was long. Still worth it, IMHO. SA hasn't been very responsive to texting, but the representative was able to fix everything within minutes.

I think the deal is gone, but fedchoice credit union.

Normal. Don’t waste your time bothering Tesla about it.

Yep, they said it was normal and actually built to allow this. They don’t seal them all the way (no clue why).

Took delivery today of a Long Range S! Stealth gray, black interior, 19” wheels. Absolutely perfect alignment and condition of the exterior. Interior is flawless as well, other than a couple nicks on the center armrest, which they will be replacing. I’m upgrading from a Y and the suspension and ride quality is incredible.

Curious to see what everyone’s experience with range/ charge holding after receiving it ? My car has been parked all day with no sentry mode on and has been losing about a mile of charge every 2 hours even tho I haven’t used the car at all. I know weather is a factor which it is about 45 degrees here but it is parked in a garage. Wondering if this is normal or if I should have the service team look into it. Seems to be draining fast for a brand new car but this is also my first Tesla

Pretty standard for tail lights, actually.

Change your battery setting to %. Tesla says to expect 1% phantom drain per day. For me it's more like 1% in two days. Get an app like Tessie to monitor your car without waking it up.

Make sure sentry is off at home. Then it won't discharge. Sentry consumes a lot of power (about 300W)

Thank you going to download now

It says it’s off in the Tesla app. Do I need to do something in the settings of the actual car to make sure it’s off when I’m home?

You get a free trial period. If you decide to buy, there's a 10% off for TMC members. The code is in some Tessie vendor thread somewhere on the forum. Do a Tessie search, thread title only.

Thanks to sorka’s observation, Tesla mobile service will be fixing the door(s) misalignment in couple of weeks. I am located around 120 miles from the service center.

Both visible doors and the hood have multiple alignment issues but they should be fixable.

Taking delivery today. First EV. Ordered MSLR white on white with yoke. Everything has be going smoothly so far until yesterday. Am unable to access the review agreement section of the Tesla app to review agreement. Message Tesla yesterday and they told me that there system was running slow and it would be available tomorrow morning. Well it’s morning and still no access. I’m just going to go to my appointment today and hopefully the team at the delivery center can help.

Everything went smooth at the delivery center. The team at the delivery center did something on there end which fixed the “view agreement” section of the app. The car looks great. Couldn’t find any flaws in the car. Going to the detailer for tint and ceramic coating Monday. Will post pics after.

I'm thinking about full ppf for mine. Can anyone give me cost estimates? I tried some stuff myself but some bubbles etc.

I’m paying $6,000 full Xpel PPF and an extra $995 for full ceramic coating over the film.

Two phone calls to Tesla, two phone calls to the bank and I'm all set for pickup tomorrow.

I've sort of run my EV purchasing experience in reverse: Solar Roof/PowerWalls/Wall Connector all ready to go, tomorrow I'll get the car.

Last thing I'm thinking about now (and probably something that's been discussed 10s of times on this thread): Tessie, TeslaFi, or just ignore it all and drive the car? I'll read up on both tonight myself but would love feedback/ reviews based upon experience.

Host your own installation of TeslaMate.
