Is there an in-car Hotspot?

Your phone?

Perhaps they intend to put someone in the frunk and one in the trunk...

Good job!

sincerely,

Gabe’s new flyover is live.

Does the display actually measure the 0-60 time after a launch? Would be great to get some real world data on the battery temp requirements between pulls. Could also explain why Drag Times only saw 2.74 0-60 when they measured. Good info!!!

Boy are we getting spoiled, “why only 0-60 in less time than a 2020 Corvette”. It looked like these cars usually had 4 people in them, unknown battery charge and has it done 2 runs or 40?

How do you turn those on?

you just press them and they will put the car in whatever ever gear you pick.

Just noticed it, saw it in the sun, if its dark you dont see them.

Called over to dealer in Devon, PA. Spoke to someone there for a little while. They sounded confident being that my profile is 100% complete (with insurance policy form my old car uploaded and all) and not changing my order that a vin should be assigned shortly. But, he said it could be over the next week or two, which then puts delivery out until July/August. They mentioned a June delivery date is possible, but given they only delivered 25 at event and only producing about 100 cars a week for now, not sure about deliveries here on east coast for those that did not place order in beginning of year, more than likely looking at August then. He said do not change the order. Price at time of deposit will hold, unless you change the configuration. Old floor mats should fit in the new MS, or they would of changed the mats on the website by now. Had nothing to say about CF trim or anything holding up order since i placed mine before that was published on the website. I asked about all of the cars sitting in Freemont on the temp lot, he didn't have anything to say. He also said that typically the delivery schedule on east coast is the last month of the quarter, which would be September. But since they want to roll out the MS and catch up with any backlogs they will continue to roll them out as fast as they can for delivery. So if you are not in June, then July/August most likely.

I would suggest that if anyone has questions or wants an update to just call the local dealership you are picking up from. I had to wait on hold for about 10 minutes, but then got someone that was happy to try and answer some questions........best they can i guess. The person i spoke to said they still don't have "that many answers" just yet since the event was just last night. As we get into the latter end of June and deliveries pick up they should know more. He said as soon as i get a VIN then they can pretty much tell me exactly when the car will be delivered.

Hey, were you able to upload your current insurance and Tesla was okay with it? I haven't uploaded any since it said 'Your Tesla VIN must be listed on your policy' and I obviously don't have my VIN yet.

Elon Musk last night mentioned "The safest car in the world to carry 6 passengers" Does this include the driver or not?

Perhaps they intend to put someone in the frunk and one in the trunk...

No they don't want someone in the frunk, but have provided a way for one to get out. The logistics of someone small enough to fit in the frunk but also physically capable enough to operate an emergency release button confuse me. It's probably just big enough to hold a kid goofing around.

I wonder how likely a shifting toolbox is to press the button and open the hood while driving? At least they've warned about that too.

Why did they get rid of red brake calipers?

 

[dlfjed]

Has anybody else other than the two people (Omar and 1 other) seen a deliver date yet. I still have nothing with a FSD Plaid order Nov 2020 1142.

Nothing. 10/2020 order. Complete blank.

 

[Atomadam]

Why did they get rid of red brake calipers?

I was told last night that Elon nixed the red in favor of black.

When I spoke to the dealer, they said just take a picture of your current insurance policy for your current car and upload. It’s just a placeholder for now to compete the profile, but certainly don’t want to leave it blank because then your profile isn’t complete. Once you get a vin then you can update with new policy.

I’m still blank

When did you change your order to a regular plaid? You probably know this already; your 10/2020 order changed to a plaid+ by default in late January. At least mine did.

 

[Faziz]

I ordered mid may. Mine is blank. did you do FSD?

I did not order FSD. I do have black/Black and wood. Unless CF is holding it up you would get yours before me.

 

[sflgator]

Nope just a setting like in the older cars. Has 3 drive modes. Chill, Sport and Plaid.

So, can you just set it and forget it, like say set it to "Plaid" and leave it that way (and never have to change it) or do you basically have to set it to "Sport" and then change to "Plaid" every time you want to race or whatever?

 

[aerodyne]

What does 4s2p mean?

4 banks in series, 2 in parallel. Common nomenclature for multicell packs.

 

[emailforbrett]

The manual shows it staying in Plaid mode indefinitely.

The quicker mode, Drag Strip mode, turns off after three hours.

 

[AnselmDante]

Still waiting for September. It's not here yet...

I ordered about a month ago and my order has been “June” for the last few weeks or so.
