Will you get "TankMode" added to your Model S?

Does anyone know what the VIN number cut off is for the titanium underbody? My vehicle was in production the last week of February and delivered on March 6th. Thanks.

...just crushed the ego of an M5 driver on the Q.E.W. (highway)...does that count...?

In my opinion that counts double...

I drove over a fist-size rock today, probably dropped off a dumper from the nearby construction work. I saw it too late so I clipped it with the inside of the right front tire. and was treated to the sound of it bouncing and rattling its way back under the car. I panicked for a moment until I realised I no longer have an exhaust pipe in questionable condition under there.

Armor plates - yes please!

Dunno about VIN's, but Elon's blog said, "Starting with vehicle bodies manufactured as of March 6.." so if yours is delivered March 6, I suspect it may have missed the manufacturing start...

Look underneath and see?

For me: both the Alaska Highway as well as all of Alaska's highways (former is mostly in Canada - we do it just to confuse you TropicalTypes) are notorious for having Lots Of Stuff on them, so I'm getting the treatment. Went to the Scottsdale SvC today and became the first to sign up for the facelift....errrrr....buttplate....ummm...well, whatever it is.

When the heck did you move to Seattle? Weren't you practicing in San Antonio?

Sounds like about 3 or 4 pounds all together (3 pieces).

Just got my shield installed today. They took the car about 7:30am and returned it about noon. Nice! I do feel better about driving it now so its worth it to me. Now if I can just get it aligned so it doesn't pull to the right. Tesla says this is due to the road crown, but I disagree. I've had plenty of cars that didn't drift right like my Tesla does.
