New Panoramic Roof - Good news/bad news

Yikes.. keep it out of the rain. Can you take a wider picture to show any other differences between the new and old design?

Please let me know the date when your Model S was built so that I can update the WIKI. I have not heard one single word about this modification. Also, like cgiGuy stated, a few more pictures of your new roof would be appreciated. Thanks and good luck to you on the fix, I am sure TM will get it straightened out.

...link to wiki?

Last 5 of VIN? I was a June 5 production, curious how recent this started.

Here is a link to my MODEL S OPTIONS BY YEAR wiki.... enjoy....Model S options by year - a running history - Tesla Motors Club - Enthusiasts & Owners Forum

They've been making changes to the Pano roof all along. I had a vibration in my roof shortly after getting the car and complained. They told me there was a new clip in the roof that was there to prevent it from being quiet so floaty but that if it wasn't adjusted just right it would cause the vibrations. So I doubt this is even the first change to the roof.

I can't believe that would pass final inspection! Shame on Tesla. They know better and already do better.

My car, delivered as below, has had no wind noise issues at all. Though the rubber on the rear right guide is a little chewed up and I note that the front pass side glass portion of the pano is just slightly out of alignment. Funny thing is that I posted the issue here to see if anybody else had the issue and Tesla (who obviously reads these posts!) figured out who I was and emialed me about the issue and their desire to fix it immediately. Now THAT is customer service!

She goes in for 12K service in two weeks. The issue has posed no problem for me at all.

Thanks for the pictures. I talked to an SC employee and here are the major differences between the original Pano Roof (2012 to June 2015) and the new Pano Roof Mid to latter June 2015 and on...

Note the pictures I have posed below and the location of the roof rack clips... One the new Pano Roof these are about 1/2" from the edge of the side plates of the pano roof. On the original roof, these roof rack clip flaps are located on the very outside edge of the side plates. Also the rubber moldings, especially on the trailing edges of the panels are finished off with rounded edges whereas on the earlier roof, the rubber moldings are cut square and are not rounded and appear a bit crude. It may also be possible that the defrosting membrane is slightly different as well. But I was not able to inspect that as car access was not available.

Picture of New Style Pano with clips more located on inside of side portion of Pano....



Old Pano square cut molding on large pano panel trailing edge...

New Pano more rounded moldings on large panel trailing edge...



The VIN number of the S that had the new Pano (which was the subject of the pictures above) roof was 91xxx June 2015 build (on window sticker) and was just delivered from the factory, the S with the older roof was a VIN number 90xxx and also a June 2015 build. So I recon, that sometime near the mid to end of June builds, does the new Pano-Roof design make its appearance.

Lastly... not to be a real nit picker but really.... WHY IS THIS POST IN USER INTERFACE.... should it not be in INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR????

Data point--my wife's new S70D delivered 6/22/15 (VIN 085294) but likely built/completed the week before has the old style pano roof

I think I have the old style pano roof as well. Mine was ready for pick up sometime the week of June 15th so lets say June 15-20 delivery.

as an aside: do they schedule deliveries on weekends?

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY EVERYONE!!

My P85D was in production from 6/11 until 6/16 and does NOT have the new style roof based on the pictures.

in production from 6/16~6/24, mine got the new pano roof (roof rack clip located in the middle).

Mine was built June 5-12, VIN 92369, it has the old style roof and it also has the added water spritz to the face option after sitting in rain when you accelerate.

Old style on our 70D

Mine was built June 16-19, VIN 90661..still waiting for the car.

I got the new pano roof.
