Model S subsite and design studio being updated

[Kaivball]

@ AnOutsider check out this link Model S Options Pricing | Tesla Motors with your magic yellow highlighter. The 85 batteries just got .2 seconds faster 0-60. Now listed as 5.4 seconds!!!

And the P85 is now rated at 4.2 s.

Did the tire and wheel replacement program go up from $700 to $900?

Haha. The changes were covered here already, but:

Looks like they also universally changed the footer link from "Reserve" to "Order" your Model S.

Typo under 4th bullet of Production. It references an 80 kwh battery. The site is "challenged" of late. Lost buttons and text on My Garage page for example.

I think some of the issues being seen (maybe or maybe not in your case) is that the css and some images may have been cached.

The resale value guarantee stuff above makes it seem like it is for all cars, but the agreement itself specifies that it's only when financed. Can't Elon put his money where his mouth is for us early adopters?

Looks like sunshade has been nixed (for now anyway):

Excellent pick up AnOutsider. Thanks. Very interesting indeed.

GeorgeB talked about the sunshade the other night at Santana Row, and mentioned that they are having some difficulties getting it right (having been through 4 iterations). He said that they would not release until Franz certified it, and it may take some more time.

I for one have not yet needed it, and am not sure I will get it (but it is not summer here yet either!)

Thanks, that's good to hear. Haven't had summer sun yet, but I get more heat through the windshield than the roof. I'm actually more interested in it for winter use, so I can wait.

Lots of clean up:

Looks like the first one is to make it clear how long folks have to make changes.

Looks more like a screw-up than a clean-up:
* "driver inverter" instead of "drive inverter" or "power inverter". (I hope it doesn't flip the driver upside down in the seat.)
* EPA five cycle test now consists of traveling at a constant speed of 55 mph.

AnOutsider, Thanks for keeping this updated. This is one of my favorite threads. I appreciate all your work.

 

[Wattson]

Good call ddruz. Thank you AnOutsider for keeping us up to date with all the revisions happening on the Model S website. I am fascinated by details like this!

Yes, thanks AnOutsider. Interesting to see all the updates. If you do note errors, maybe forward them to the ownership team so they can let the web people know and fix them.

:biggrin:

Although a 'child inverter' might be an option I'd consider sometimes...

At first, I always thought "standard charge" was 80%. Then I saw lots of thread discussions mention that it's 85%. Now they are listing it at 90%. Was it always 90% or have they increased it? I thought to maximize the battery life, it would be charged to 80-85%, not 90% (but what do I know....thats why I'm asking)

 

[AnOutsider]

Heh, didnt even catch the driver inverter part. No prob on the updates, I get notified so it's not exactly hard. The page I'm watching the hardest is the model x one

Bigd, I thought it was 80 too. Standard charge for me is 242 though, which is about 90% of 270 so I guess that makes sense.

So that explains it. Every time I use regen I find myself hanging from the ceiling.
