Model S subsite and design studio being updated

[Doug_G]

Looks nice... doesn't quite work. My Roadster and Saved Designs don't ever appear. The Model S is showing up, though.

from the new garage in "My Tesla" i clicked the upgrade button just to see and what do i see?


I hope this is a mistake as we were told that the Canadian deliveries would start 3 months after the US. This is a further delay of at least 4 months ... :crying:

Interesting pickup... I certainly hope it's not true, as I am banking on getting my production S (#285) in May 2013...

The main purchase page still has 2012 though...

The specification page now includes width dimensions of the Model S with mirrors extended and mirrors retracted. Just under 9 inch difference. Model S Specs and Standard Features | Tesla Motors

Given the picture, it doesn't look like the mirrors stick that far out relative to the wheel wells, but I guess they do.

Today they struck the aero wheel text from the facts page, but they're still on the pricing and options page. The following was removed:

Aerodynamic 19” wheels are designed to reduce wind resistance. Disc-like in shape, they channel air along the sides of the vehicle and can add up to 5% range during highway driving.

If Tesla is reading this thread for feedback: Please also note that the estimated ranges for the different battery packs are listed at 60 mph on the Features page and at 55 mph on the Options and Pricing page.

cross-posting, but Tesla has given us new tidbits today (yellow denotes changes):

Nice highlighting! Thanks AO

Interesting that bit about 3 latch attachments but only accommodates 2 child seats simultaneously, and here is my speculation on why.
Latch anchors are set up in pairs, and most manufacturers say you can't use the inside anchors of the two Left and Right pairs to Latch the car seat in the Middle. Something to do with how the pairs are attached to the structure of the car. By having a third Latch pair you can safely put the car seat in the middle. There isn't enough room, however, for 3 car seats installed at the same time so you can have at most 2 (one on the left and right sides using those Latch pairs).

This is the first time I'm hearing of any car with this feature, which would be pretty cool and very thoughtful of Tesla.

The question on a lot of people's minds has been answered: 4647.3 lbs. WOW, Tesla weighed the car down to the 10th of a pound.

Note: And that's specs for the 40kWh battery.

Agreed! The middle seat is by far the safest, and for someone with a small child to be able to put their carseat in that middle seat is a huge bonus from a safety perspective. Excellent job by Tesla.

Anti-theft alarm and immobilizer system

I choose to believe this means tazer.

+1 very much.

My LR3 has them at all three positions. I've usually found that the LATCH points are in the middle and on the driver side rear. Every GM car I've driven has this arrangement. Perhaps its just my personal experience.

Anti-theft alarm and immobilizer system

IIRC an immobilizer system is required for Canada. Tesla includes it right away from production start. Nice!

Seam like the weight is exactly the same as this ! also down to 1/10

Though I belive that this is the only thing in common

I wonder if insurance companies will recognize this as a valid alarm system where rates are concerned.

And now back to our regularly scheduled programming...

 

[gg_got_a_tesla]

What we really need is the owners manual online to read--or better yet a "new car features" manual. To answer these kind of questions. The NCF manual for the Prius is great--especially when compared the owners manual--I refer to it all the time.

Th robots are busily doing something to the website right now. Hope the manual comes online along with whatever else might be happening. It'd be a good read, I'm sure!

 

[StephRob]

One change they made to website is that now when you design a configuration, they give you the price after the fed tax credit. So sig Perf maxes out at something like $102k instead of $109k.
