I think the Canadian roaming is pretty new I just traded an early 85 for and 85D (built at the end of May - no LTE - booo). My old car shut down reception at the border. I was very pleasantly surprised to see if work when I went to Vancouver airport recently.

I pick my new 85D in Seattle tomorrow as well. Our cars should celebrate their birthdays together!

May 22nd - It just updated to being in transit - that was fast!

Hello, Quick update from me: Ordered May 6th Assigned VIN May 8th Entered production - May 20th Hoping for delivery first week of June - 85D - trading in an early S85. Love the Model S!

This is really useful info - thanks! My plan is to advertise closer to the time I get my car. If no takers around $56-58k then I will take the $49k on offer from Tesla.

Dolphin grey - it also has a pano roof My other car doesn't come for another 6 weeks so I was going to start getting serious about selling in towards the end of May. We can take this offline if you are seriously interested. I will probably be looking for something close to $56-57k...

I ordered the car on Wednesday . Part of my reasoning was to get in under the wire before the sales tax holiday ends in WA on July 1st (saving over $9k). Based on what you have said, selling privately is the way to go. I was offered $49k by Tesla - s85, leather, tech, air suspension...

Hello, I am very excited as I just ordered by 85D after a test drive yesterday. While I loved Insane mode on the P85D, I am perfectly happy with the very quick speed of the 85D and it is noticeably faster than my, already fast enough, 2.5 year old S85. Now, I need to sell my beloved old...

One other thing - on my home NEMA charger, I now get 29 mph, as opposed to 28 previously, and a full charge is 265 compared with 258 (I had put 21k miles on the battery).

Hello everybody, My Model S (vin 1682) had the same error message regarding the 12v battery not working. It turned out the problem was with the main high voltage battery. Despite happening on a Saturday, Tesla had my car turned around with a (I think) brand new battery pack within 48 hours...

That is what I was just told by Tesla service at the HQ.

I really pressed him on this issue. They have my VIN and know what car I have. He said, definitely, this will be available in the summer. I also thought it was too good to be true, but he double confirmed it. All that said, I'll still have some doubts, until I see an official announcement.

Good news if you have a standard 85 and regret not getting a performance I just enquired with Telsa HQ whether it is possible to retrofit the performance package to a standard 85. Apparently there will be announcement in early summer that you can not only upgrade to performance, but that you...

Holding the scroll buttons fixed it - thanks!

I just came back from Canada, and my 3G has not reappeared (it normally does after I cross the border). Any suggestions of how I might be able to get it back. Thanks in advance.

In the 3 months I've had my Model S, I've passed 5 other Model S's. To me, it seems natural to wave at the other driver; we have a relatively rare car, and I believe (hope) that most people bought the car for the same reason. Thus, I feel there should be some kind of community around the Model...

Mine cracked yesterday, in exactly the same place as the original poster. Spoke with Tesla Seattle service and they have a windscreen on order. Shame, as I love the car, but I also have a problem with the rear drivers side handle not recessing as well....

Congratulations! I promise you, the wait was worth it. I'm om my 3rd day of driving the car, and it just gets better and better.

Thanks. I just downloaded the update, and it fixed the color, and....my car is no longer a performance model....

Worked like a charm - thanks a lot!:biggrin:

Picked up the car yesterday, loving every minute of driving this beautiful automobile. Got home this evening and the charge port won't open. Tried opening using the charging cable, tried the two opening buttons on the console. It makes a clicking noise but will not open. I can call tesla...

That's a beauty - congratulations! I just picked mine up from the Seattle service center yesterday - what an amazing car. I was wondering, did yourscome with the latest firmware update? Mine didn't, and I noticed the car in the speedometer section of your readout is color coded to your car's...

I picked up my car in Seattle today - everything i hoped for and more. :biggrin: The reason for this post is that the delivery specialist said there are about 30 S's in the wild in WA right now, but there will be nearly 200 by the end of this month! Make of that what you will.

Just drove the 90 miles from picking up my P2159 VIN 1628 grey, pano, studio, tech in Seattle. First impressions: Best car I have ever driven (I've owned some nice ones) Non-perf is plenty fast for me. The performance may actually be too scary in the wet The user interaction, both steering...

Congrats Francis! I'm one day behind you - P2159 VIN 1682 getting picked up in Seattle at 10 am tomorrow!!!!!!

Hi Gody, I have been with Geico for a decade, and they quoted me $1100 fully comp with a $500 deductible. I tried out progressive, and they now have my business for $502. The moral of the story - definitely shop around.

My guess is that your car came in a earlier shipment, and is ready for you today (lucky man!). Apparently mine is still on route, and may not even arrive until tomorrow morning. Guess I just need to be patient.......*sigh*

Interesting....I was told the truck would probably arrive v late Tuesday or Wednesday morning. I was given low probability of getting the car on Wednesday, but Thursday was guaranteed. I guess with people as keen to get their cars as we are, they want to under-promise (hopefully). I'll let...

P2159 VIN 1682 is on the truck and heading to Seattle. I will probably pick her up on Wednesday (if possible) or Thursday. After nearly 3 years, my wait can now be measured in hours. Very excited!

Hi Francis, Congrats on your good news. I'm curious about your config. I'm, P2159, but VIN 1682, live up in Bellingham, and I have exactly the same delivery window as you. If our cars are similar, I would guess mine must be very close. I'm non performance, grey, cloth seats, tech...

Thanks. Can I use your car, while you are in NYC, and I'm waiting for mine? Just kidding :rolleyes:

Hi Douglas, Just curious, did you get a call from the service center to let you know, or did you chase them? I'm about 100 VIN numbers behind you, and have heard rumors there were 20 new cars delivered this week. My delivery window starts tomorrow, and I'm itching to the the car (not...

Fair point, well made - I'm 1682.....

Did your DS mention any Grey non perf, textile seats, pano, air, tech and sound package cars, just itching to get up to Bellingham? C'mon, gimme something man!!!

I would guess you should have a VIN by now. I'd suggest giving Tesla a call.

@Golaiemanshark Congrats! I'm VIN 1628, with similar spec but in Grey. Living in WA, and with a delivery window starting on Friday, I have my fingers crossed the car is on a truck heading north from Freemont right now....

Just got the email! December 7th-21st - pick up at Seattle service center. Will post more as I know. P2159 VIN 1628. Getting close now......

First time I've seen the grey in the wild - Love it! Should have my baby within the next 2 weeks - congrats on your new toy?

Do you have a VIN? Curious where mine is (VIN1682), compared to yours. Congrats BTW!

Non performance

Maybe our cars will be on teh same truck :cool:

I finally have something substantive to add to the thread..... Just got this response: Hi Kevin, Your Model S now has a VIN and an expected delivery in December. Your VIN is: xxxx01682 Updated delivery windows will be provided by the Delivery team. Once your vehicle is actually at the...

My GF just woke up from a dream where i replaced her with the Model S (full of candy to be precise). Maybe this is a sign I am getting a bit obsessive......

Cloth seats to leather (so I could get heated seats). I just spoke with a person at tesla. Making that change will delay production several weeks, so I have decided not to change. Still looking late v end of december, early jan for delivery.

P2159, and I have a small tidbit to share. I just emailed my ownership experience advocate, seeing if i could make a small change to my config. He just sent me this: ----------- I have connected with the team that submits orders to the factory. Unfortunately your order is already in the...

Tesla Model S: The 2013 Yahoo! Autos Car of the Year | Motoramic - Yahoo! Autos

That's a lovely image :rolleyes:. Enjoy!

Just got this in from an ownership experience advocate - I'm P2159 and live in WA ------------------ At the moment its still too early to provide a more detailed timeline other than the December-January window in your PreMVPA. Judging from your option selection and sequence number I think it’s...

Just noticed your config is exactly the same as mine, but without the twin charger - we have great taste. Doesn't sound like there will be many gray cars out there.....

I'm gonna go with my car being the last one to be delivered this year - P2159. As it is the last car, I assume Elon will deliver it himself, with a magnum of champagne, and some inspirational music in the background. Steven Spielberg will be filming everything, to produce the 'Victory of the...
