    WTB Roadster to Model S adapter

    I assume you solved your charging issue, but are you still looking for the orange Roadster to Model S adapter?

    As of tomorrow all of those four week invitations are now only three weeks away from [the date Tesla said they would be] getting their cars.

    Model 3 Owners Manual

    So that raises another question: does it have a split screen like the S, where you can keep the camera on but still see other stuff?

    Model 3 Owners Manual

    In the manual it states that the rear camera is activated when the car is put in reverse. Does this mean that, unlike the Model S, the rear camera cannot be activated during normal driving? I like to drive my S with the rear camera on because visibility through the hatch back window is not that...

    My mistake, sorry. So you WERE living in CA when you made the reservation? That could explain it. I still think these are not hard and fast rules. Tesla certainly made lots of exception when delivering the Model S.

    I think we are trying to make this process logical when it is only partially so. Pretty sure Bonnie has been in WA for years . . .

    But you may be special! ;) Seriously, you may be the only one not in California, and I think most of us who have been on this forum for a while are aware of (and appreciate) the contribution you have made to Tesla and EVs. Tesla knows that also.

    Do we know for certain that the "First Production" interiors will come only in black? What is the source of that information? Could that change? I ask because my wife is dead set against a black interior -- too hot. Also, are the seats fabric? I haven't seen much discussion about that on the...

    I think that's probably right. However, I was told when I reserved that, as an owner, I would jump ahead of all of the non-owners (90,000-100,000?) ahead of me, and that there was no point in standing in line down at the Seattle store. Of course, any owners who did that would most likely be...

    I've had my Model S since early December 2012, but no invite. I reserved online shortly after it was possible to do so, and live in Seattle. I'm guessing it doesn't matter when you became an owner, but that reserving early (at the event?) is key. Also, where the car will be delivered.

    Yes, I remember from one of the screen shots that you can defer to wait for the AWD version and possibly also the smaller battery version without losing your place in line. What I'm wondering is whether they give you a time frame to fish or cut bait -- i.e., to respond with an order or deferral...

    For those who have received an invitation, is there a deadline for submitting your order (or your deferral option)?
