Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[AMPd]

I picked my Ms long range, blue, black round steering wheel today In irvine ca. the service advisor said he has only seen four or five round wheels on new cars and they have abput 100 people per day picking up cars (wow)
he said I must have hw4 becuause I have the red cameras on the side (the guy i First spoke with said the did not have hw4 yet. However I think was thinking of A software upgrade which will restore the parking assist . Paint and body fitment looked good

Congrats!

When you have a chance would you be able to take a few close up photos of the round wheel material. Is it leather? Or is it rubber like the yoke.

Did you get the new glass roof?

 

[Toddl]

not sure how to tell about the roof but I assume so. I will check that and the steering wheel , it feels like leather like my 2017 model x
also I will take some pics this morning , I am driving it straight to have Black powder coated wheels installed

Meanwhile, you won't have parking assist and summon and such. Without radar, that could take a while, just ask the MY folks from last year.

Why do you think radar will make those come any faster? (The radar can't see anything to the sides, or rear, of the car; so it isn't going to help with summon or park assist.)

have you seen this? the radar is going to have to make up for the blind camera spots in the front. Rear camera should see fine.
obviously they are having trouble with this implementation or it would be working now.

Can the radar actually see down to the ground up that close to the car? (I think it suffers from the same problem as the front cameras, probably just not to the same extent.) In any case, I highly doubt that Tesla is going to use radar for this, they are just a little behind on the switch to Tesla Vision for park assist.

Good point. I just like radar, seems like I never had phantom braking on the old car.

it’s a must for this to work in my humble opinion. (Right now it doesn’t) i have never trusted the USS fully anyway but zero help on a new 100+k car wow. (Tesla should not release a product until it works) this is a prime example of getting to big to fast.

I pickup on Friday.

Am I asking the people at the location to check their system for AP04 & RA02?

Yes, Also APH4

You have the new glass if you can actually see anything through it! I will guess it is similar to MY roof which I really like.

I was unable to take a measurement of the new chrome appliques on the rear trim bar of the MS. They seem smaller than the MX. Could you please measure the height of one of the letters?

So my car was built some time in Feb, has anyone confirmed this comes with all of the updates? Or taken delivery of a similar build time car?

 

[SucreTease]

What is the diameter of the steering wheel, in inches?

 

[lowtek]

Anybody else still have a broken Model S pic on their reservation page and the app?

 

[whenryb]

Just received the delivery text. Taking delivery Friday the 17th in Nashville. They offered a delivery as early as Thursday so I will likely do a drive by to take a look Wed evening.

I see very few cars with HW4 code in February on the Tesla-info.com site.

It's in the source code of the image of your car.

 

[Greeney]

I’ll see if I can get a computer while I’m on this trip. Will likely just pass on this VIN. To much BS with the switchover I don’t trust.

Agree

 

[DrKleiner]

Can someone confirm if in recent new cars is new glass roof?

 

[aerodyne]

Does anyone the new curb weight of the MSP with the new roof glass panel?

Weight reduction greater than zero.

Knowing Tesla's habit of hyping things, I'd say you would never notice the weight difference, doubt you would see any change in the specs.

I'm sure there is cost savings which they won't pass onto the buyers.

OTH, those new cameras and radar weigh something.

I just reserved my S yesterday and the picture on the app is working fine. It's in the color I ordered, dark blue metallic. What color did you order? Perhaps if you keep refreshing the app that image will restore. Good luck and enjoy!
