Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[AnselmDante]

I messed around with the audio last night, to try and improve the sound quality. I agree that this system probably needs a sub-woofer and amp installed. My wife's 2011 Highlander sounds way better than my new Tesla sound system. She smartly pointed out that Tesla does not partner with other companies, like the big auto manufacturers do. So while I got a bunch of speakers installed by Tesla, she got a JBL sound system designed specifically for premium audio in her vehicle. That makes sense to me. Anyhow, I found a setting that at least lets the bass punch on certain frequencies. Here is my setup:

This is close to what I had to do also. Very disappointing compared to the 3 and Y. Even with these settings.

Noon 8/18 I called and asked "since I have the VIN should I go ahead and figure out my financing with the bank" the rep at the Tesla dealership said that "it looks like we will receive the car 8/31 or 9/1 and we will get ahold of you to schedule a pick up 9/2 or 9/3.

8/19-8/23 EDD showed a range of 8/28-9/3.

I went ahead and called yesterday, 8/30, afternoon and asked if the car would actually be in, he checked and said the car will be in 9/1 and available for pick up 9/2.

8/31(today) EDD shows 9/2 at 11am!!!!

Dragy, mud guards, and maybe a larger SSD for the camera recordings.

My EDD is showing steady since Monday at Sept 12-15 - Previously Sept 03-06 however is there a good time to call in and schedule for Pickup

Like 1 week before EDD or a few days before

The 19’s are faster and have traction apparently.

I kept calling and talking to a random SA. I requested location updates until it arrived at the SC. When I called and verified it was at the SC, they set up my appointment.

For all of you complaining about the sound system, are the mids and highs not good either? Most people equate bad or low volume bass to a bad overall sound system. I find most car sound systems to have too much/boomy bass.

The mids and highs are clear. I expect the bass to represent legitimate sound. For instance, if I am listening to a rock song, not digital auto tune crap, but legitimate band music, I expect it to sound like it would in person, with deep thuds for the bass drums and a feeling of spatial immersion. It's fine if you don't like bass, you can turn it down. But the audio system SHOULD be able to capture the frequency range of what you are listening to accurately. The Tesla sound system rings hollow and does not hit hard when it needs to.

I have had premium systems in cars before (Meridian in Rover being best) and the Tesla sounds great to me. I maybe I am just getting old and both my hearing and standards are getting worse...

quick question..the "Autopark" feature. Is going to be standard for all S's/not exclusive to FSD package. Correct?

How does the sound quality compare to the previous premium sound system with the subwoofer in the old S?

My fave stock system has been the Burmester in our Cayenne

I guess I've been married too long. What are they?

IMHO all wives should have expertise in the fine arts language of hummerese.

May I suggest NVX B.O.O.S.T.

Maybe the 19s will get the 1.99sec without 1ft.
