Did they replace them with the same style as the original, or the newer larger ones?

Cool! I was worried if the headliner molding was different between cars to not support that, but I am happy to hear its a non-issue.

Congrats! How are you liking v7? With as much driving as you do, your opinion carries some heavy weight

Given I have a "classic," I really do not see many differences aside from UX/UI since I don't have the hardware to take advantage of many of the other features/functions.
I can tell you my 16 and 13yo very tech-savvy daughters do not like the changes...especially the oversized buttons when listening to Slacker.
The biggest issue I have is the clock not being visible on the dash. ;-)

I have a Classic as well. I am heading down to Florida on Friday, so I've held off updating for now as I really liked the functionality and ease of readability in 6.2. While I'm leaning towards staying that way until 7.1 comes out, I haven't seen v7 in person yet, so I'm reserving final judgement.
Meanwhile, I am "happy" to see you did 340 Wh/mi on this trip. Makes me feel better as I cannot get anywhere close to 280 Wh/mi another area owner gets on his P85.

Details of my semi-annual (100k - 100,481 actual miles) service:
- annual service: wiper blades, fob batteries, desiccant bag, cap receiver & dryer, brake fluid & alignment
- EV inlet replaced - UMC had been failing to connect
Looking forward to the future out-of-warranty repairs. ;-)
PS - I had a 85RWD loaner w/ autopilot and kept it for the weekend. On highways, it was nearly flawless except for occasionally wanting to exit the highway if I was in the slow lane and passed an exit with breaks in the shoulder line. On secondary roads, it was a similar experience including a couple of hair raising moments when the car want to veer left or right based on breaks in the lane/shoulder lines. In my opinion, lane changes are abrupt as others have also noted and highway use is definitely recommended/preferred. TACC performed well as always. I am looking forward to AP v1.1 and bullish on the continued improvements.
PPS - I like the new integrated energy cluster on the dash in v7 and wish my classic had that view - TPMS individual tire readouts would have been nice too.

I woke up last Thursday to numerous 12V battery alarms on the car.
1st out of warranty repair (104k miles):
- 12V battery @ $356.74

Tim, How long did the battery last before this replacement? I assume that's not you original one? The most I've heard so far is 2 years.

I still have original. April 2013 delivery. Just had annual service last month and asked them specifically to check the 12V; they told me all is OK.
I think they are making it in house now. the might sell one but don't know. The battery itself is something like $135 (or more). Definitely a bit more time consuming than replacing other 12V batteries
